Abstract
The present invention provides a method and apparatus for reducing the number of bit errors that occur in xDSL data transmissions as a result of baseband ringing. It has been determined that the number of bit errors that occur in xDSL data transmissions as a result of baseband ringing can be reduced by lowering the data transmission rate to a predetermined rate while baseband ringing is occurring. The apparatus of the present invention detects when baseband ringing is occurring over a communication system and causes the data communication equipment (DCE) device located at the central office and the DCE located at the customer premises to begin communicating at a lower, predetermined transmission data rate. When a determination is made by the apparatus that the baseband ringing is no longer present, the apparatus causes the DCE located at the central office and the DCE located at the customer premises to begin communicating at the original data transmission rate. This temporary rate reduction results in an increased operating margin during, and slightly beyond, the time interval in which baseband ringing is occurring.
