Abstract

A method for optimizing downstream data transfer in a telephone from a splitterless asymmetric digital subscriber line modem. The modem examines the power spectrum of fast retrain signals both when the telephone is on-hook and off-hook. By comparing the power in the spectra, the modem may determine whether to cut back its transmitted power to lessen the noise in the downstream channel. In this manner, a customer may simultaneously use the telephone and the modem on the same telephone loop.
