Abstract
A computer-implemented iterative method for reconstructing the topology of a cable network, includes the steps of: obtaining a measured time reflectogram Rfrom a signal previously injected into the cable network, initially simulating a plurality of cable network hypotheses (H), and then iteratively executing the following steps: obtaining, for each simulated cable network hypothesis (H), an associated simulated time reflectogram R, evaluating, for each simulated cable network hypothesis (H), an error criterion E(R-R) between the measured time reflectogram Rand the simulated time reflectogram R, applying, to the simulated cable networks, an optimization algorithm having the function of producing a plurality of modified cable networks having, overall, a reduced error criterion E(R-R), replacing the simulated cable networks from the previous iteration with the modified cable networks for the following iteration.
