Abstract

See full text

In general, the present invention provides an efficient usage of Far End Crosstalk (FEXT) coefficient memory in a G.fast vectoring system. According to certain aspects, embodiments of the invention provide a simple scheme for efficient management of the Discontinuous (DO) and Regular Operation (RO) FEXT coefficient memories to handle the complexity of lines joining/leaving the system in both regular and DO groups. In embodiments, by disabling the power-efficient, Discontinuous Operation, a G.fast system according to the invention first frees up the DO coefficient memory. Next, the system uses this memory as the staging area to manage joining/leaving events. Finally the system re-enables to the power-efficient Discontinuous Operation and re-populates the DO coefficient memory.
