DYNAMIC DIGITAL COMMUNICATION SYSTEM CONTROL
First Claim
1. An arrangement for controlling communication in a digital communication system having a plurality of communication lines on which signals are transmitted and received, the signals being affected by interference during transmission, the arrangement comprising:
- a first processing arrangement that creates a model of the interference characteristics of a communication line selected from the plurality of communication lines, the interference characteristics due to signals carried on the plurality of communication lines; and
a second processing arrangement that processes signals using the model to deteiinine interference characteristics created by actual signals carried on the other communication lines and in response, remove interference from the actual signals.

Abstract
Control of a digital communication system having a plurality of communication lines on which signals are transmitted and received is implemented using a variety of methods and systems. According to one embodiment of the present invention, a method is implemented where the signals are affected by interference during transmission and each of the communication lines has at least one transmitter and at least one receiver. A model is created of the interference characteristics due to the signals carried on the communication lines. Interference characteristics for a line are determined based on the model and actual signals carried on other communication lines different from the line for which the characteristics are being determined. Actual interference is compensated for on the communication line using the determined interference characteristics.

17. An arrangement for controlling communication in a digital communication system having a plurality of electrically-conductive communication lines connected between a central location and a plurality of customer locations and on which signals are transmitted and received, the signals being affected by interference during transmission, the arrangement comprising:
-
a first processing arrangement that creates a model of the interference characteristics of a communication line selected from the plurality of communication lines, the model including a vector representation of the interference characteristics where one or more vectors represent interference on the communication line that is created in response to signals carried on the plurality of communication lines; and a second processing arrangement that processes signals using the model to determine interference characteristics created by actual signals carried on the other communication lines and in response, remove cross-talk interference from the actual signals, the cross-talk interference including interference due to overlapping frequencies between the actual signals and signals carried on the communication line. - View Dependent Claims (18)
