Automated DSL performance adjustment
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of adjusting digital subscriber line (DSL) performance, the method comprising:
- automatically selecting a set of DSL lines from a plurality of DSL lines, the set of DSL lines having degraded performance characteristics based on historical performance data;
measuring a performance parameter for each of the set of DSL lines;
removing from the set of DSL lines at least one DSL line that has suitable performance based on the measured performance parameter to create a revised set of DSL lines with degraded performance, wherein each DSL line in the revised set of DSL lines is associated with a corresponding physical DSL line; and
applying one of a plurality of line profiles to at least one of the physical DSL lines identified by the revised set of DSL lines.

Abstract
The present application discloses an automated digital subscriber line performance control system comprising a computer system including a logic module to evaluate performance of a plurality of DSL lines and to automatically select a set of DSL lines from the plurality of DSL lines, a line profile database responsive to the computer system, the line profile database providing a plurality of line profiles in response to a request from the computer system, and a digital subscriber line access multiplexer coupled to the computer system.

10. A system comprising:
-
a computer system including a logic module to evaluate a performance of each of a plurality of (DSL) lines and to automatically select a set of DSL lines from the plurality of DSL lines, wherein the set of DSL lines has degraded performance characteristics based on historical performance data;
a line profile database responsive to the computer system, the line profile database configured to provide one or more line profiles in response to a request from the computer system, and a digital subscriber line access multiplexer (DSLAM) configured to measure a performance parameter associated with a first physical DSL line of a plurality of physical DSL lines, wherein each DSL line in the set of DSL lines is associated with a corresponding physical DSL line, the DSLAM further configured to apply a line profile selected from a plurality of line profiles retrievable from the line profile database to the first physical DSL line. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A method of adjusting digital subscriber line (DSL) performance, the method comprising:
-
evaluating a performance of each of a plurality of DSL lines;
selecting a set of DSL lines from the plurality of DSL lines, the set of DSL lines having degraded performance characteristics based on historical performance data;
measuring a performance parameter for each of the set of DSL lines;
removing, from the set of DSL lines, any DSL line that has suitable performance based on the corresponding measured performance parameter to create a revised set of DSL lines with degraded performance, wherein each DSL line in the revised set of DSL lines is associated with a corresponding physical DSL line;
applying a line profile to each of the physical DSL lines identified by the revised set of DSL lines;
storing data associated with revised the set of DSL lines; and
reporting the stored data. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
