DYNAMIC LINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

摘要

A method and Dynamic Line Management, DLM, system for controlling Digital Line Subscriber, DSL, connections, comprising applying a first line profile to a DSL connection, the first line profile specifying a first virtual noise template for the DSL connection, wherein the first virtual noise template specifies a first set of frequency dependent virtual noise levels for the DSL connection; configuring a connection parameter (such as the data rate) of the DSL connection based on the first set of frequency dependent virtual noise levels; applying a second line profile to the DSL transceiver unit, the second line profile specifying a second virtual noise template for the DSL connection, wherein the second virtual noise template specifies a second set of frequency dependent virtual noise levels for the DSL connection; and reconfiguring the connection parameter for the DSL connection based on the second set of frequency dependent virtual noise levels.

1. A method of controlling a Digital Subscriber Line, DSL, connection between a first and second DSL transceiver unit by an external Dynamic Line Management, DLM, system, the method comprising the steps of:
the external DLM system applying a first line profile to a DSL transceiver unit, the first line profile specifying a first virtual noise template for the DSL connection, wherein the first virtual noise template specifies a first set of frequency dependent virtual noise levels for the DSL connection; configuring a parameter for the DSL connection based on the first set of frequency dependent virtual noise levels; the external DLM system applying a second line profile to the DSL transceiver unit, the second line profile specifying a second virtual noise template for the DSL connection, wherein the second virtual noise template specifies a second set of frequency dependent virtual noise levels for the DSL connection which is distinct to the first set of frequency dependent virtual noise levels; and reconfiguring the parameter for the DSL connection based on the second set of frequency dependent virtual noise levels.
