Abstract
In a discrete multi-tone modem, a method of minimizing cross talk over a twisted pair of a twisted pair cable binder in which discrete multi-tone data transmission is utilized comprises the steps of one of jointly minimizing near end cross talk while maximizing total data rate, jointly minimizing an arbitrary function of total power while maximizing total data rate and minimizing total near end cross talk for a given data rate, selecting a function to be optimized and performing a bit and power allocation algorithm responsive to the selected function. The process may be combined with known optimization functions such as jointly minimizing an average bit error rate while maximizing the data rate. As a result, the process is considerably more flexible and adaptable to changing parameters such as environmental parameters impacting data transmission performance in the presence of cross talk. Either a telecommunications central office modem or a remote terminal modem may be so adapted to apply such a cross talk minimization method.
