In one embodiment the method includes assigning a common frequency range over which first sets of carriers are configured for communication over respective ones of a plurality of subscriber lines. The plurality of subscriber lines are dispatched between a plurality of autonomous vectoring processors configured to mitigate crosstalk between subscriber lines coupled thereto, thereby organizing the plurality of subscriber lines into a plurality of distinct vectoring groups. The method includes assigning a plurality of additional disjoint frequency ranges to respective ones of the plurality of vectoring groups over which second sets of carriers are configured for enhanced communication over respective ones of the plurality of subscriber lines. The second sets of carriers are configured over the respective disjoint frequency ranges assigned to the respective vectoring groups which the respective subscriber lines belong to.

Enhanced vectoring operation with single loop unbundling

In accordance with an embodiment the method includes temporarily configuring the vector processor with a new set of vectoring coefficients during one or more selected symbol positions; restoring the current set of vectoring coefficients outside the one or more selected symbol positions; obtaining at least one error measure over respectively at least one line of the group of vectored lines during the one or more selected symbol positions; and determining a suitability indication for the new set of vectoring coefficients based on the obtained at least one error measure.

Method and device for controlling a vector processor

A method involves performing a plurality of acts. The acts include transmitting a first signal stream to a first channel of a multi-channel communications medium while transmitting a second signal stream to a different second channel of the medium. The second signal stream is substantially temporally correlated to the first signal stream. The method includes receiving an SINR measured at a receiver configured to receive signals from the first channel. The SINR is measured while the receiver received the first signal stream. The method includes determining a channel matrix element between the first and second channels or a ratio of said channel matrix element to a diagonal element of the channel matrix. The act of determining is based on the received SINR.

Determining channel matrices by correlated transmissions to different channels

A method for determining crosstalk coupling between a plurality of transmission lines in digital data transmission systems, in particular DSL networks. Firstly, at least one test signal (TS) is generated having a unique identification code (UIC) in the frequency domain (f), said code (UIC) being associated with a first transmission line. Then, the test signal (TS) is sent on the first transmission line. At least a second transmission line is monitored for detecting a crosstalk signal. It is determined whether the crosstalk signal is caused by the test signal (TS) of the first transmission line by means of a signature of the unique identification code (UIC) comprised in the crosstalk signal. In this way crosstalk between individual transmission lines can be determined without having to have recourse to conservative worst case assumptions. The method can adapt dynamically to a changing user/transmission environment, while obtaining unique crosstalk determination results at all times.
