ESTIMATING PAIR SYMMETRY STATUS FOR A COMMUNICATION LINE

摘要

An apparatus for estimating pair symmetry status for a communication line (Ci). The apparatus is configured to: obtain a value set indicative of a signal to noise ratio for the communication line (Ci) and at a receive band frequency (f); determine a crosstalk coupling length (Li) for the communication line (Ci); and estimate the pair symmetry status, based on the obtained value set indicative of the signal to noise ratio (SNRi(f)), the crosstalk coupling length (Li) and a predetermined symmetry indicator-value (qmax; ki,max). Related method and computer readable medium are also described.
