To reduce power consumption and associated heating in a line card of line termination equipment (LTE, 12) employing multiple cub-channel carriers to communicate broadband information to customer premise equipment (CPE, 30) down a wireline communication resource (26, sub-channel carrier transmissions are restricted (58) during periods of CPE inactivity. Power supplies to a power amplifier (30) associated with the line card and wireline resource (26) are reduced, with digital signal processing capabilities of the LTE (12) further restricted (64). When the CPE wishes to re-start communication, the CPE (30) locks (68) to a correct alignment in a transmission scheme using a pilot tone that is transmitted within a simple pattern sent during reduced sub-channel carrier transmissions. Alternatively, should all transmission from the LTE cease during CPE inactivity, then the CPE monitors (80) the transmission environment and sends (82) a wake-up call to the LTE between boundaries of an uplink slot. The LTE (12) re-establishes pilot tone transmissions (86), with synchronization and lock (88) subsequently achievable by the CPE (30): this is illustrated in FIG. 2.

High speed data cable with impedance correction

A high speed video cable carries signals according to the High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) or DisplayPort standards, and includes a raw cable and may include a boost device. The raw cable includes coaxial lines of a characteristic cable impedance higher than the impedance implied in the standards. The correct impedance is observed at the sending end by shunt resistors mounted in the first cable connector. The resultant loss of signal may be made up with the boost device mounted in the connector at the other end of the cable in the case of a long cable. Increasing the cable impedance reduces the inherent loss of the raw cable thus permitting the use of low cost material such as tinned wires. Similar advantages are obtained regardless whether Shielded Twisted Pairs (STP) or coaxial lines are used.

Decision Feedback Equalization techniques are difficult to apply in high speed communications systems, as the decoding process for a received symbol may not be completed in time to allow adaptive detection of the following symbol. Advantage may be taken of certain novel aspects of vector signaling codes to provide decision feedback to an adaptive data receiver concurrent with symbol decoding, rather than being delayed to symbol decode completion. Methods and systems are described that error correct an initial non-adaptive decoding, based on differences between the actual received signals and simulated received signals derived from the initial decoding and historical received data. Additional methods and systems are described using bounding functions to estimate an error rate with reduced computation.
