Abstract
An apparatus comprising a first transceiver unit (TU) for coupling to a first subscriber line, at least one next TU for coupling to at least one next subscriber line, and a processor coupled to the first TU and the at least one next TU, wherein the processor is configured to determine a link state in which data transmission is disabled for the duration of one or more symbols in a superframe, instruct the first TU to operate in the determined link state, and coordinate data transmission by the first TU and the at least one next TU to avoid an increase of crosstalk from the first line to the at least one next subscriber line due to the first TU operating in the determined link state.
