Impulse noise gating in DSL systems

摘要

Embodiments of methods and apparatuses for gating impulse noise in a communication system are described. In one embodiment, a quality measure of a received signal on a communication channel is not adjusted when corruption by impulse noise in the received signal is detected. In another embodiment, tuning parameters of a DSL modem are not adjusted when corruption by impulse noise in the received signal is detected.
