Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to transfer of data using Digital Subscriber Loop (DSL) technology, and specifically to an improved scheme for initializing the transfer.
- DSL Digital Subscriber Loop
- DSL Digital Subscriber Line
- POTS Plain Old Telephone Service
- ADSL Asymmetric DSL
- DMT Discrete Multi-tone
- the spectrum from 4kHz to 1.1MHz is divided into 256 sub-channels, or tones, each having a bandwidth of 4.3125kHz.
- Each sub-channel uses Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) to carry 2 to 15 bits/QAM symbol.
- QAM Quadrature Amplitude Modulation
- ITU International Telecommunication Union G.992.2 standard
- phases include handshaking, transceiver training, channel analysis and exchange.
- Handshaking is used for determining the nature and capabilities of communication endpoints (such as an ADSL modem) and for indicating which protocol will be used for the remainder of the initialization.
- the ADSL modem, or termination unit, at a central office is referred to as an ATU-C.
- the ADSL termination unit at the subscriber, or remote location is referred to as the ATU-R.
- the signaling method used for the handshake interchange is designed to be robust.
- Biphase shift keying (BPSK) modulation is used to modulate multiple single- tone sub-carriers, all carrying the same data.
- BPSK phase shift keying
- the ATU-C and ATU-R exchange a message containing information about the endpoint type, frequency range, and number of DMT sub-carriers supported.
- the transceivers at each end of the line acquire a DMT symbol stream, adjust receiver gain, perform symbol-timing recovery, and train any equalizers. There is an optional echo cancellation training step that can also be performed during this phase.
- the transceivers exchange capability information and perform detailed channel characterization. Both the ATU-R and ATU-C attempt to measure specific channel characteristics such as unusable sub-carriers, loop attenuation on a per sub-carrier basis, signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs), and any other channel impairments that would affect the potential transmitted bit rates. Based on the discovered channel characteristics, the ATU-C makes the first offer of the overall bit rates and coding overhead that will be used for the connection. [13] The exchange phase sets the final overall transmission rates in both the upstream and downstream directions for the connection. These final rates are determined based on calculated channel parameters measured during the channel analysis phase, and are not necessarily the same as the preliminary rates offered during that phase.
- the exchange phase sets forward error correction (FEC) and interleaver configurations.
- FEC forward error correction
- interleaver configurations are close to the optimum bit rate for the channels.
- Four carriers are used to modulate the bits of the messages, each carrier being loaded with 2 bits using quadrature phase shift key (QPSK) modulation.
- QPSK quadrature phase shift key
- the system 100 comprises a central office transceiver (ATU-C) 102, a splitter 104, a twisted pair loop 106, and a remote transceiver (ATU-R) 108.
- the splitter 104 includes a high pass filter 110 and a low pass filter 112.
- the ATU-C 102 is coupled between a broadband network 114, such as the Internet, and the high pass filter 110 of the splitter 104.
- the low pass filter 112 of the splitter 104 is coupled to a narrowband network 116 such as a General Switched Telephone Network (GSTN) or Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN).
- GSTN General Switched Telephone Network
- ISDN Integrated Services Digital Network
- Output from the high pass 110 and low pass filters 112 are combined and coupled with the twisted pair loop 106.
- the twisted pair loop is, in turn, coupled with a customer-premises wiring network 118.
- the customer-premises wiring network 118 is coupled via a low pass filter 112 with narrowband network devices 120, such as telephones, voiceband modems, and ISDN terminals.
- the customer-premises wiring network 118 is further coupled to the ATU-R 108 via a high pass filter 110.
- the ATU-R 108 is further coupled to a plurality of service modules 122 via a home network 124.
- the system 100 illustrated in FIG. 1 operates by transferring data between the ATU-C 102 and the ATU-R 108 on a frequency spectrum above that used for the narrowband devices 120. Therefore, the system 100 provides the service modules 122 access to a high-speed network connection across the twisted pair loop 106, which is an existing infrastructure.
- the twisted pair loop 106 is long, resulting in an increase in the bit error ratio (BER) for the transmission. This is particularly important during the exchange, since the transmission parameters are established at this point. As it is known, the BER for QPSK modulation is
- the initialization message includes cyclic redundancy check (CRC) bytes; therefore, L is the number of bits of the message the CRC bytes are computed from. Because the MER increases with L, one should consider the max value of L (L max ) for the initialization messages when evaluating the reliability of the messaging scheme.
- CRC cyclic redundancy check
- the first group of messages includes C-RATES-RA, C-CRC-RAl ,
- the messages comprise 960 bits for C-RATES-RA, 16 bits for C-CRC-RA1, 48 bits for C-MSG-RA, and 16 bits for C-CRC-RA2, yielding a total of 1,040 bits or 130 Discrete Multi-tone (DMT) symbols.
- DMT Discrete Multi-tone
- the second group of messages includes C-MSG2, C-CRC3, C-RATES2, and C-CRC4.
- the messages comprise 32 bits for C-MSG2, 16 bits for C-CRC3, 8 bits for C-RATES2, and 16 bits for C-CRC4, yielding a total of 72 bits, or 9 DMT symbols.
- the third group of messages includes C-B&G and C-CRC5.
- the messages comprise 496 bits for C-B&G and 16 bits for C-CRC5, yielding a total of 512 bits, or 64 DMT symbols.
- the first group of messages includes R-RATES-RA, R-CRC-RA2, R-MSG-RA, and R-CRC-RAl.
- the messages comprise 8 bits for R-RATES-RA, 16 bits for R-CRC-RA2, 80 bits for R-MSG-RA, and 16 bits for R-CRC-RAl, yielding a total of 120 bits, or 15 DMT symbols.
- the second group of messages includes R-MSG2, R-CRC3, R-
- the messages comprise 32 bits for R-MSG2, 16 bits for R-CRC3, 8 bits for R-RATES2, and 16 bits for R-CRC4, yielding a total of 72 bits, or 9 DMT symbols.
- the third group of messages includes R-B&G and R-CRC5.
- the messages comprise 4080 bits for R-B&G and 16 bits for R-CRC5, yielding a total of 4096 bits, or 512 DMT symbols.
- a timing diagram for the exchange in accordance with the state of the art is illustrated generally by numeral 200.
- the nomenclature for message transmission uses an "R-" prefix for indicating that the message originated from the ATU-R, and a "C-" prefix for indicating that the message originated from the ATU-C.
- the sequence of messages on the left side represents messages sent from the ATU-C to the ATU-R and the sequence of message on the right side represents messages sent from the ATU-R.
- the message sequence begins at the top of the page.
- C-MEDLEY 202 the ATU-C enters C-REVERB4 204 where it waits for messages 206 from the ATU-R.
- the messages 206 include R-RATES-RA, R-CRC- RA2, R-MSG-RA, and R-CRC-RAl. If the expected messages 206 are not received within 6,000 symbols, the ATU-C times out and the initialization fails. If the ATU-C receives the expected messages in the allotted time, it remains in C-REVERB4 204 for at least another 80 symbols before it enters C-SEGUE2 208. After C-SEGUE2 208, the ATU-C transmits a series of messages 210 to the ATU-R. These messages 210 include C-RATES-RA, C-CRC- RA1, C-MSG-RA, and C-CRC-RA2.
- the ATU-R Once the ATU-R has sent its messages 206 it enters R-REVERB-RA 212, where it waits for the messages 210 from the ATU-C. If the ATU-R does receive the messages 210 within 4,000 symbols, it times out and the initialization fails.
- the ATU-C and ATU-R use predefined tone indices for transmitting the messages R-RATES-RA, R-CRC RA2, R-MSG-RA, R-CRC-RAl, C-RATES-RA, C-CRC-RA1, C-MSG-RA, and C-CRC-RA2. An additional set of tone indices is used to transmit these messages as a backup.
- the receiver combines the bits carried in the two sets of tone for improving reliability of the transmission.
- the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in the frequency band of the backup tone is much lower than that in the frequency band of the primary tone. Therefore, on long loops, especially for the downstream tones, the backup set of tones is essentially ineffective.
- the bit error ratio (BER) is determined by the SNR on the primary set. Within a set, the highest BER within the four carriers determines the overall bit error rate on the message.
- the method comprises the steps of analyzing channel properties of a plurality of sub-channels within the communication link, identifying a predefined number of sub-channels having an anticipated highest performance for communication, communicating the identified sub-channels between the first and second transceivers, and transmitting information for initializing the communication link using the identified sub-channels.

Similarly, additional ATU-R transmissions R-REVERBx 308, R-SEGUEx 310, and R-MSGx/R-CRCx 312 are inserted between R-MEDLEY 314 and R-REVERB4 316.
- C-MSGx and R-MSGx includes the indices of four tones with the best SNR available.
- C-MSGx includes the indices for upstream communication and R-MSGx includes the indices for downstream communication.
- the indices of the four tones are selected adaptively, in accordance with an estimated line SNR.
- the indices of the four tones are selected by the ATU-C and ATU-R to correspond to tones with the best SNRs.
- the SNR estimate is available at the exchange because it takes place after both C-MEDLEY and R-MEDLEY (during channel analysis).
- C-MEDLEY an estimate of the downstream SNR is determined at the ATU-R.
- the ATU-R determines the indices of the tones having the four highest SNRs for downstream communication and compiles them into R-MSGx.
- R-MEDLEY an estimate of the upstream SNR is determined at the ATU-C.
- the ATU-C determines the indices of the tones having the four highest SNRs for upstream communication and compiles them into C- MSGx.
- the sets of four indices, that is C-MSGx and R-MSGx, are exchanged between the ATU-R and the ATU-C using a more reliable 1-bit per symbol modulation.
- R-MSGx and C-MSGx are describes as follows.

- the prefix is ⁇ 01010101 01010101 01010101 01010101 ⁇ 2 .
- the carrier index fields contain the four carrier indexes with the best SNR in decreasing order. Therefore, the SNR of carrier index #1 is greater than or equal to the SNR of carrier index #2, which is greater than or equal to the SNR of carrier index #3, which is greater than or equal to the SNR of carrier index #4.
- the byte for each carrier index is the binary representation of the selected index.
- the message is followed by a 16-bit CRC that is transmitted using the same 1 -bit/symbol modulation format.
- 80 DMT symbols are required for transmitting each of the 80-bit C-MSGx/C-CRCx message and 80-bit R-MSGx/R-CRCx message.
- FIGS. 4a and 4b refer to two different cross talk scenarios.
- FIG. 4a has 24 ADSL near end cross talk (NEXT) and far end cross talk (FEXT).

- each transceiver sends a stream of bits as numerous as the number of the tones capable of being received. Each bit corresponds to a tone. If a bit is set to 1 then its associated tone is to be used during for transmitting the messages that help establish the communications link.
- the ATU-C transmits messages that include C-MSG-RA and C-RATES-RA.
- the ATU-R transmits messages that include R-MSG-RA and R-RATES-RA. If the bit is set to zero, its associated tone is not used for modulating the messages.
