Signal processing played an important role in improving the quality of communications over
copper cables in earlier digital subscriber line (DSL) technologies. Even more powerful …

Hybrid copper/fiber networks bridge the gap between the fiber link at the distribution point
and the customer by using copper wires over the last meters. The G. fast transmission …

Hybrid copper/fiber networks bridge the gap between the fiber link and the customer by
using copper wires over the last meters. This solution combines energy efficiency and low …

G. fast is an upcoming next generation DSL standard envisioned to use bandwidth up to 212
MHz. Far-end crosstalk (FEXT) at these frequencies greatly overcomes direct links. Its …

Recently, ITU finished its standard for G. fast, utilized in so called fiber-to-the-distribution-
point (FTTdp) networks, where only the last meters from the fiber link to the customer are …

Next-generation wireline systems may exploit fre-quencies up to several hundred MHz on
short lines. Strong crosstalk coupling, comparable to the direct paths, is one of the main …

A method implemented in a network element (NE), com prising determining, via a processor
of the NE, a channel order for a set of subscriber lines at each of a plurality of Subcarriers to …

Since the advent of the world wide web in 1989, telecommunications providers have
evolved from providing plain old telephone service (POTS) over a copper loop plant to …

Due to the much higher crosstalk impairing in G. fast high-frequency channels compared
with digital subscriber line low-frequency channels, the nonlinear Tomlinson-Harashima …

The method includes organizing a plurality of subscriber lines into a first group of subscriber
lines and a second group of subscriber lines, the first group of subscriber lines at least …
