Method for distributed spectrum management of digital communications systems
First Claim
1. A method for distributed spectrum management of a digital communication system having a plurality of communication lines on which signals are transmitted and received by respective users, the method comprising the steps of:
- a. collecting information about line, signal and interference characteristics of a specific plurality of the communication lines from a plurality of sources;
b. determining the line, signal and interference characteristics of said specific plurality of the communication lines; and
c. varying power allocation of said specific plurality of the communication lines between respective transmitters and receivers using (i) the determined line, signal and interference characteristics of said specific plurality of the communication lines and (ii) respective noise weights of said specific plurality of the communication lines.
