Providing digital services to telephone subscribers

Abstract: A local telecommunications network system IS arranged to provide a first asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) service in a first frequency band to a first set of subscribers and a second very high bit rate digital subscriber line (VDSL) service in a second frequency band higher than the first frequency band to a second set of subscribers. Interference between the two types of digital traffic within the multi-pair feeder cables leading to the exchange is suppressed by low pass filtering the ADSL traffic and high pass filtering the VDSL traffic. The filtering may be applied to the line cards to which each subscriber line is connected.

High-frequency characterization of twisted-pair cables

Abstract: A wave propagation method model is proposed for the extraction of propagation parameters of high-bit rate digital subscriber twisted-pair cables. The model is derived from the scattering parameters of a transmission line. The frequency dependence and the skin effect are studied. Experimental simulations are performed to evaluate the accuracy of the extracted parameters. Good agreement is found in the cases studied.

High bit rate digital subscriber line: a copper bridge to the network of the future

Abstract: It is argued that the high bit rate digital subscriber line (HDSL), permitting low-cost 1.5 Mb/s copper access, will ease the transition to fiber access by accelerating the use of higher speed services. Copper will dominate over fiber customer access for at least the next ten years. During this period, the success of high-speed switched services will depend on the connectivity provided by both fiber and copper access. HDSL will initially be used to serve private-line DS 1, ISDN primary rate access, and digital loop carrier feeders. Later, the HDSL will be applied to switched services such as metropolitan area networks (MANs) and circuit switched DS1s. >

Method of and apparatus for performing line characterization in a subscriber line communication system

Abstract: A digital subscriber line communication system does not require the use of a plain old telephone service (POTS) splitter in the resident's home. Digital signal processing techniques are utilized to adapt to varying subscriber line conditions due to POTS telephone equipment. The digital signal processing techniques eliminate the need for a splitter by reducing susceptibility to distortion due to varying subscriber line characteristics. The digital subscriber line modem characterizes the subscriber line under a variety of conditions. The digital subscriber line modem includes a control circuit which performs rapid retrain operation utilizing line characterization information.

Subscriber terminal for wireless telecommunications system

Abstract: The present invention provides a subscriber terminal for communicating over a wireless link with a central terminal of a wireless telecommunications system, the subscriber terminal comprising a first signal processing unit (110) associated with an antenna (100) to transmit and receive signals over the wireless link at first frequencies within an operating frequency band. The first signal processing unit comprises a frequency converter for converting signals between said first frequencies and a second frequency. Further, a second signal processing unit (130) is provided remote from the first signal processing unit and associated with an item of telecommunications equipment (150) to pass signals between said item of telecommunications equipment and the first signal processing unit. The second signal processing unit is formed from signal processing circuitry which is independent of the operating frequency band via a connection medium (120).
