A method and system include receiving at a provisioning server a service order to implement an asynchronous digital subscriber line (DSL) service from a service order entry system. The provisioning server identifies and assigns multiple facilities needed to implement the service order, including a remote terminal connectable to a terminal of a DSL subscriber and an optical concentrator device connectable to the remote terminal. The provisioning server determines an interface corresponding to each of the facilities, which are configured, based on interface specific instructions from the provisioning server, to implement the service order.

A variety of bi-directional data transmission systems that facilitate communications between a plurality of remote units (15) and a central unit (10) using a frame based discrete multi-carrier transmission scheme are disclosed. In each of the systems, frames transmitted from the plurality of remote units (15) are synchronized at the central unit (10). A variety of novel modem arrangements and methods for coordinating communications between a plurality of remote units (15) and a central unit (10) to facilitate multi-point-to-point transmission are disclosed. The invention has application in a wide variety of data transmission schemes including Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line systems that includes the transmission of signals over twisted pair, fiber and/or hybrid telephone lines, cable systems that includes the transmission of signals over a coaxial cable, and digital cellular television systems that include the transmission of radio signals.

A digital access arrangement for (i) isolating downstream components from twisted pair copper wire and (ii) separating upstream and downstream communications channels. The line isolation is performed with relatively small, lightweight components, such as an optical isolation unit for example, and can be operated with signals modulated at relatively high frequencies and having relatively high data rates and amplitudes.

A digital subscriber link data network incorporates a throughput test server (TTS) to provide fault identification, isolation, and verification of DSL service availability and data rates. An asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) terminal unit—remote (ATU-R) is connected to an ADSL terminal unit—central office (ATU-C) over a conventional copper loop or equivalent. Data connectivity via a packet switch provides access to high speed data networks, TTS connectivity and interfaces to service providers (SPS). Upon receiving a test request, a technician routes a customer to the TTS. The customer uses a web browser to access the TTS and download executable testing software, e.g., a JAVA applet. The applet causes test messages to be sent to and received from the TTS and computes upstream and downstream data rates that is displayed to the customer together with whether the measured data rates are consistent with a specified class of service.

In a coding system for asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) communications, a method of encoding a sequence of information bits is provided comprising the steps of dividing the information bits into encoding bits and parallel bits; encoding the encoding bits to produce encoded bits; mapping the encoded bits and the parallel bits into first and second pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) signals; and generating a quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) signal from these first and second PAM signals. This method overcomes the decoder complexity that would otherwise be required due to the large QAM constellations involved for ADSL communications.

This invention relates to power control arrangements of digital subscriber lines. The invention controls parallel subscriber lines simultaneously in an organized way, based on the measurements of crosstalk conditions of the sub-scriber lines. Different crosstalk conditions are measured. The organized way to control the transmission power levels ensures that the crosstalk does not increase to an unacceptable level in each of the subscriber lines.

The modulation device includes a unit for generating a control signal based on a predetermined data, and a unit for determining the control signal based on the amounts of the low rate signal and the high rate signal, a unit for receiving a low rate signal and for generating a low rate signal sequence having a first controlled number of bits, based on the control signal, a unit for receiving a high rate signal through terminals LSx and ASx and for generating a high rate signal sequence having a second controlled number of bits, based on the control signal, and a unit for modulating the low rate signal sequence and the high rate signal sequence and for coupling modulated low rate signal sequence and modulated high rate signal sequence, thereby generating a transmission signal.

A system and methods to optimize the resource planning of ADSL services is provided. In an illustrative implementation, a network management system (NMS) communicates with an ADSL network to provision resources for participating users. The provisioning process yields a permanent virtual circuit (PVC). Included in the provisioning process is the creation and management of configuration variables, such as, the virtual path identifier (VPI) and the virtual circuit identifier (VCI). The VPI/VCI combination uniquely identifies each PVC. If the provisioning process is aborted or fails, it may be reanimated by the NMS using the VPI/VCI combination. In this implementation, the VPI may be set to a constant value and the VCI value calculated using ADSL configuration values (e.g. the physical connection position on a first, second, third, etc. ADSL network component.) The deterministic nature of the VPI and VCI configuration variables assist the NMS to track and optimize available resources.

A fixed broadband wireless data access service providing shared wide-band packet-switched data transport for high speed data access in areas where conventional ADSL service and fiber optic service are unavailable. The wireless data access service is a point-to-multipoint cellular-type network that connects customers to data service providers through the ATM backbone of an existing network. Customers connect to the ATM backbone and data service provider through a cellular grid in which a wireless base station in each cell communicates with the individual customer wireless equipment within its cell site coverage area. The base stations are connected to an ATM backbone switch through wireless and wireline backhaul links. The upstream and downstream bandwidths of the wireless broadband network are engineered in various symmetric and asymmetric configurations to provide a shared packet-switched connection that emulates an uninterrupted, direct wireline ADSL connection. The wireless broadband network employs a data protocol of shared access bandwidth and adaptive asymmetric data rates to support multiuser service sessions by wireless transmission. The wireless broadband network is not network protocol specific and can be applied to wireless asymmetric digital subscriber line service, wireless integrated service digital network over digital subscriber line service, wireless very high bit rate digital subscriber line service, or wireless symmetric or single-line digital subscriber line service.

An approach for processing data received from a communications channel that minimizes noise power and optimizes impulse response length to reduce interference, such as from inter-symbol interference (ISI) and inter-channel interference (ICI), is disclosed. For example, finite impulse response (FIR) filtering may be used with FIR coefficients that are determined by optimizing a function of the impulse response length and the noise power. The impulse response length is optimized based on the communications channel transfer function to reduce interference. The noise power is minimized based on the noise covariance as determined using the total noise power density. The approach accounts for noise from a variety of interference sources besides ISI and ICI. The result is a superior equalizer for use in communications receivers employing orthogonal frequency division multiplexing or discrete multitone modulation in communications protocols employing Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line, G.Lite and Very High Bit Rate DSL.

A method and system for discarding and regenerating transmission control protocol (TCP) acknowledgment packets (ACKs) transmitted over an asymmetrical digital subscriber line (ADSL) to increase the data transmission rate. When an incoming ACK is received at a first intermediate node located at one end of the ADSL link, the intermediate node determines whether a prior ACK from the same connection/flow (TCP receiver) is presently stored in a queue awaiting transmission. If a prior ACK packet is not presently stored in the queue, the incoming ACK packet is stored in the queue. However, if there is a prior ACK packet in the queue, the information contained in the incoming ACK packet is stored in a per-connection state table and the incoming ACK packet is discarded. When the prior ACK packet is ready to be transmitted to a second intermediate node via the ADSL link, the information contained in the per-connection state table regarding the discarded incoming ACK is copied into the prior ACK. Upon receiving the prior ACK, the second intermediate node regenerates the discarded ACK based on the information contained in the prior ACK.
