1. A digital subscriber line (DSL) modem, having a receiver comprising:
- an impulse noise predictor to predict if data frames will be affected by impulse noise based upon a periodicity of impulse noise; and
a demodulator to use a first table to provide data when data frames are predicted to be affected by the impulse noise by the impulse noise predictor and a second table to provide data if the data frames are not predicted as being affected by the impulse noise by the impulse noise predictor.

Abstract
Methods and apparatuses for reducing effects of impulse noise in a DSL transmitter receiver device are described. According to certain embodiment, the method includes using a periodicity associated with the impulse noise affecting a DSL transmitter receiver device to determine data frames that are affected by the impulse noise, and sending a reduced data rate during those frames. In certain embodiments, no data is sent during those frames. The method further includes using a high margin bits and gain table, instead of a normal bits and gain table.
