Method and device for data processing and communication system comprising such device

Simple SummaryContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

The patent describes a method and device that help manage interference (crosstalk) in DSL communication networks during the process where new network elements (like modems) are added and undergo their initial training/start-up. The innovation involves temporarily reducing the transmission power of existing network elements while a new element is training, to minimize the interference caused to and from the new device. Additional techniques, such as adjusting synchronization elements like cyclic prefixes and suffixes, are used to further support a seamless and stable integration of the new device into the network.

Use CasesContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

• Onboarding new DSL modems in residential or commercial broadband networks without disrupting ongoing services.
• Dynamic Spectrum Management (DSM) in networks with frequent addition or removal of user devices.
• Upgrading customer premises equipment (CPE) in multi-user buildings, hotels, or offices with shared DSL infrastructure.
• Managing crosstalk in dense urban telecom infrastructures during maintenance or scaling operations.

BenefitsContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

• Reduces service disruption and bit errors when adding new network devices to a DSL system.
• Minimizes crosstalk and interference, maintaining data rates and connection stability for all users.
• Preserves synchronization and network performance without substantial hardware or firmware changes.
• Complies with existing DSL standards, allowing easy integration into current telecom systems.
• Facilitates network expansion and scaling with minimal technical intervention or customer impact.
• Enables improved Quality-of-Service (QoS) handling during dynamic network changes.
