Abstract

Methods and devices are discussed where a common bit loading table is constructed from minimum gain from a plurality of bit loading tables for different combinations of lines being in a transmit or quiet mode.

Claims (34)

1. A digital subscriber line (DSL) apparatus capable of communicating using discontinuous operation, the apparatus comprising:

circuitry to

initialize communication to a first customer premises equipment over a first communication line;

determine a first bit loading to communicate over the first communication line; and

determine a second bit loading different than the first bit loading to communicate over the first communication line after a second customer premises equipment joins, wherein the second bit loading is a common bit loading for a plurality of customer premises equipment.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is to process communication data signals using discontinuous operation.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a precoder to perform noise cancellation.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the second bit loading is a common bit loading common to the first line and at least another communication line.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the second bit loading is reduced with respect to the first bit loading corresponding to a change in signal to noise reduction (SNR).

6. The apparatus of claim 1 , the circuitry further to adjust target data rates over time.

7. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is selected from the group consisting of a DSL provider equipment and a distribution point unit (DPU).

8. A method to operate digital subscriber line (DSL) circuitry capable of communicating using discontinuous operation, comprising:

initializing communication to a first customer premises equipment over a first communication line,

determining a first bit loading to communicate over the first communication line, and

determining a second bit loading different than the first bit loading to communicate over the first communication line after a second customer premises equipment joins, wherein the second bit loading is a common bit loading for a plurality of customer premises equipment.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the second bit loading is a common bit loading common to the first line and at least another communication line.

10. The method of claim 8 , further reducing the second bit loading with respect to the first bit loading corresponding to a change in signal to noise reduction (SNR).

11. The method of claim 8 , further adjusting target data rates over time.

12. A digital subscriber line (DSL) apparatus capable of communicating using discontinuous operation, comprising:

circuitry to initialize communication to provider equipment over a first communication line,

receive a first bit loading to communicate over the first communication line, and

receive a second bit loading different than the first bit loading to communicate over the first communication line after a second customer premises equipment joins, wherein the second bit loading is a common bit loading for a plurality of customer premises equipment.

13. The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the circuitry is to process communication data signals using discontinuous operation.

14. The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the second bit loading is a common bit loading common to the first line and at least another communication line.

15. The apparatus of claim 12 , the provider equipment further to adjust target data rates over time.

16. A digital subscriber line (DSL) system capable of communicating using discontinuous operation, the system comprising:

a first customer premises equipment;

provider equipment to initialize communication to the first customer premises equipment over a first communication line,

determine a first bit loading to communicate over the first communication line; and

determine a second bit loading different than the first bit loading to communicate over the first communication line after a second customer premises equipment joins, wherein the second bit loading is a common bit loading for a plurality of customer premises equipment.

17. The system of claim 16 , wherein the circuitry is to process communication data signals using discontinuous operation.

18. The system of claim 16 , wherein the second bit loading is a common bit loading common to the first line and at least another communication line.

19. The system of claim 16 , the provider equipment further to adjust target data rates over time.

20. The system of claim 16 , wherein the provider equipment is selected from the group consisting of a DSL provider equipment and a distribution point unit (DPU).
