Abstract

A digital subscriber line communicating system having a central office and a remote terminal connected through a telephone line, the transmitting side comprising a sliding window transmitting unit for transmitting DMT symbols according to the sliding window through the telephone line to the receiving side, and the receiving side comprising a sliding window receiving unit for receiving DMT symbols according to the sliding window from the transmitting side, the sliding window indicating the phase of cross-talk condition due to a TCM-ISDN transmission at the receiving side, whereby TCM cross-talk can be reduced without largely departing from the standard system.

Claims

1. A digital subscriber line communicating method which performs data communication by utilizing a telephone line, which can be affected by a cross talk of ISDN ping pong transmission, as a high speed data communication line, wherein 69 DMT symbols form a Super Frame and five Super Frames form one unit whose duration is made to coincide with an integer multiple of 400Hz (2.5 milliseconds) and its transmitted in a DMT symbol of 246 μ

s, characterized in that;

when the first DMT symbol is synchronized with the head of 400 Hz,

if a sample value representing the head of an n-th symbol, of 2760 samples in one cycle of 400 Hz is smaller than a sample value representing the head of the symbols completely inside the sample value (a) representing a receiving far end cross talk (FEXT) duration or is larger than the sum of the sample value (a) representing the receiving FEXT duration and a sample value (b) representing a receiving near end cross talk (NEXT) duration, the n-th symbol is defined as the FEXT duration, and

if the sample value representing the head of the n-th symbol of said 2760 samples is not less than the sample value representing the head of the symbols completely inside the sample value (a) representing the receiving FEXT duration and is not more than the sum of the sample value (a) representing the FEXT duration and the sample value (b) representing the receiving NEXT duration, the n-th symbol is defined as the NEXT duration.

2. A digital subscriber line communicating method which performs data communication by utilizing a telephone line, which can be affected by a cross talk of ISDN ping pong transmission, as a high speed data communication line, wherein 69 DMT symbols form a Super Frame and five Super Frames form one unit whose duration is made to coincide with an integer multiple of 400Hz (2.5 milliseconds) and its transmitted in a single DMT symbol, characterized in that:

when the first DMT symbol is synchronized with the head of 400 Hz, whether the duration on the receiving side, to which the n-th symbol belongs is determined by the following formulas;

on the assumption that;

S=(256 * (n-1)) mod 2760,

if {(S<

(a—

256) or (S>

(a+b))) then FEXT duration

if {(a-256)<

=S<

=(a+b)}then a near end cross talk (NEXT) duration

wherein S is a sample value representing the n-th symbol, “

a”

is a sample value representing a receiving far end cross talk (FEXT) duration and b is a sample value representing the receiving NEXT duration.
