METHOD AND NODE FOR DECENTRALIZED EMBEDDED SELF-OPTIMIZATION IN A BROADBAND ACCESS NETWORK

摘要

A node (12) in a broadband network having lines includes a network interface (16) in communication with less than all of the lines. The node includes an embedded optimizer (18), a memory (20) and a processing unit (22) in communication with the network interface (16) which runs an optimization loop in the processing unit (22) that monitors the lines (14) in communication with the network interface (16) so each line in communication with the network interface is individually optimized.
