Method of upstream channel modeling for PCM modem

摘要

A method is presented to enable high speed transmission in the upstream channel from a customer's modem to a PCM modem connected to the public switched digital network. The upstream channel is equalized by having the client modem send a known training sequence in the upstream direction to the server modem. The server modem calculates the cross-correlation between the known training sequence and the sequence as actually received from the client modem. The cross-correlation is then multiplied by the known auto-correlation of the training sequence to produce a model of the channel response. The channel response is then reported to the client modem so that it may adjust its pre-equalizer to construct the signal that the client modem will thereafter send in the upstream direction.
