A method and system of the present inventions reduces both near-end crosstalk (NEXT) and far-end crosstalk (FEXT) interferences due to handshake tones into upstream and downstream neighboring services, both at the customer premises equipment (CPE) and at the central office (CO), when handshake is experienced. An embodiment of the present inventions is directed to significantly reduce the NEXT and/or FEXT interferences due to handshake tones. For example, NEXT and/or FEXT interferences due to G.994.1 handshake tones, identified as, binsandfor the Upstream channel and binsandfor the Downstream channel may be reduced. An embodiment of the present inventions provides an algorithm that may be used for both NEXT and FEXT Handshake Interferences reduction at the CO and at the CPE. In addition, the algorithm may operate in the time domain and in the frequency domain. Frequency domain algorithm offers two options, both versions taking advantage of the high correlation time of the Handshake tone signals.

Method and system for reducing interferences due to handshake tones

In an asynchronous digital subscriber line (ADSL) system comprising a central office High Speed ADSL Terminating Unit (HSTU-C) in bi-directional discrete multitone (DMT) communication with a remote High Speed ADSL Terminating Unit (HSTU-R), a method for improving handshake detection is provided by the present invention. The method comprises transmitting handshake signaling from the HSTU-C to the HSTU-R via a first subset of carrier sets at a first symbol rate and transmitting handshake signaling from the HSTU-C to the HSTU-R via a second subset of carrier sets at a second symbol rate, the second symbol rate being less than the first symbol rate.
