Abstract

See full text

Modems, methods, and computer program products provide a dual power mode capability in which a maximum power limit is determined for a received signal and, based on that determination, at least one modem operational parameter is adjusted and/or digital impairment learning (DIL) sequence is selected. Adjustments made to the operational parameters may allow a modem to operate in a high power mode to achieve a higher downstream data rate. The higher downstream data rate may be attributed to an improved SNR resulting from an increase in data transmission power. Moreover, the modem may also operate in a normal power mode where the operational parameters may be set to maximize the client modem receiver's dynamic range. By selecting the DIL sequence based on the power limit, a DIL signal containing symbols having power levels within the power limit may be selected.
