PROVIDING HIGH DATA RATES IN DSL SYSTEMS CONNECTED BY MULTIPLE PAIRS OF WIRES

摘要

Providing high data rates in DSL systems connected by multiple pairs of wires. Data is transferred between user equipment at a customer premises (210) and a central office (220) using multiple pairs of wires (215, 225), with one pair used for sending data in one direction and another pair used for sending data in the opposite direction. Simplex data traffic on each pair enables full allocation of the available bandwidth for data for transmitting in one pair and for receiving in the other pair, providing a high data rate. Overall hardware requirement and cost are reduced, and system performance is enhanced.
