Abstract
It is described an apparatus for determining a PLC-to-DSL crosstalk estimate. The apparatus comprises a PLC-to-DSL channel estimator which is arranged to receive an input signal, comprising a DSL contribution and a PLC-to-DSL crosstalk contribution, and which is arranged to determine channel state information of a PLC-to-DSL channel responsible for the PLC-to-DSL crosstalk contribution in the input signal. The apparatus further comprises a crosstalk processor which is arranged to determine the PLC-to-DSL crosstalk estimate based on the channel state information and a reconstructed PLC transmit signal.
