    [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0001]
    [0002] The present invention relates to digital subscriber line transmission systems, which allow, in particular, high speed communication on twisted pair telephone lines based on discrete multitone transmission (DMT). The invention relates more specifically to a far-end crosstalk (FEXT) canceller for compensating the crosstalk signal induced by modems located at the far-end of such a transmission system. [0002]
    [0003] 2. Discussion of the Related Art [0003]
    [0004] FIG. 1 schematically shows a modem, comprising a transmission (TX) and a reception (RX) section in a conventional DSL transmission system using discrete multitone. A serial stream of data X is provided to a mapper circuit [0004] 11 mapping each data into a symbol of a constellation, for example of a QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) constellation. The mapped values are then transformed into a set S of N components by a serial to parallel converter 12, each component of the set being considered as a frequency domain coefficient. This set of frequency domain coefficients, hereafter also called DMT symbol, is provided to an inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT) circuit 13 which generates a time domain block of samples and is followed by a parallel/serial converter (P/S). This time domain block is therefore the sum of N sinusoidal subcarriers of different frequencies, the amplitude thereof being determined by the corresponding frequency domain coefficient received by the IFFT circuit.
    [0005] Each time domain block is cyclically prefixed (cp) and suffixed (cs) in a block [0005] 19 to eliminate or at least attenuate the Inter Symbol Interference (ISI) and the Inter Carrier Interference (ICI) caused by the channel, and is transmitted onto a telephone line 10 through a hybrid line interface 18. The line interface 18 also receives incoming time domain blocks from another modem connected to line 10.
    [0006] At the receiving side, the incoming time domain blocks from line [0006] 10 are provided to a fast Fourier transform (FFT) circuit 14 through a block 19′ that deletes the prefix and suffix and a serial/parallel converter (S/P) which calculates the N frequency domain coefficients for each block. The N frequency domain coefficients are then provided to an equalizer 15 which compensates for the attenuation and phase shift incurred by each frequency component. The equalized values are then serialized by a parallel to serial converter 16 into a stream of N complex numbers R(fj) and then processed by a demapper 17 attributing to each R(fj) the symbol Ŝ c of the constellation which comes closest thereto. The demapper 17 further outputs the digital word {circumflex over (X)} c associated with the selected constellation point Ŝ c.
    [0007] FIG. 2 schematically shows a DSL transmission system including a central office [0007] 20 communicating with a plurality of end-users over telephone lines 25, 26. The modems M1, M2, Mc(1), Mc(2) have the structure represented in FIG. 1. The end of a telephone line connected to a modem of the central office is called the line termination (LT) side while the end connected to a modem of an end-user is called the network termination (NT) side.
    [0008] Ideally, such a DSL transmission system allows the whole frequency band to be used for simultaneous full-duplex transmissions. However, in practice, different sources of noise disturb the transmissions and impede proper reception of data. [0008]
    [0009] For a given modem, three different sources of noise can be distinguished as illustrated on FIG. 2: [0009]
    [0010] the self-echo, i.e. for a given modem, the parasitic signal from the transmitter TX leaking to the receiver RX through the hybrid interface; [0010]
    [0011] the near-end crosstalk (NEXT) arising from signals in adjacent telephone lines [0011] 25, 26 with opposite transmission directions. More specifically, in the present example, the NEXT generated at the modem Mc(1) is the parasitic signal received by this modem from the modem Mc(2). In this instance the NEXT is called NT-NEXT because the modem Mc(1) is located on the NT side. Reciprocally, the NEXT generated at modem M1 by the modem M2 is called LT-NEXT;
    [0012] the far-end crosstalk (FEXT) arises from signals traveling along the same transmission direction in adjacent telephone lines. More precisely, in the illustrated example, the FEXT generated at the modem Mc([0012] 1) is the parasitic signal received by this modem from the modem M2 located on the opposite side, due to the coupling between the telephone lines 25 and 26 sharing a common binder. In this instance the FEXT is called NT-FEXT because the modem Mc(1) is located on the NT side. Reciprocally, the FEXT generated at modem M1 by the modem Mc(2) is called LT-FEXT.
    [0013] Echo-cancellers for canceling self-echoes are known e.g. from U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/410,636, filed Oct. 1, 1999 and entitled DSL TRANSMISSION SYSTEM WITH ECHO-CANCELLATION, which is incorporated herein by reference. [0013]
    [0014] There is also known from U.S. Pat. No. 5,887,032, which is incorporated herein by reference, a canceller for canceling out the NEXT interference in an ADSL transmission system on the LT side. This canceller operates in the frequency domain and assumes, for a given subcarrier or tone, that the NEXT interference is proportional to the symbol value emitted by the modem transmitting on the interfering channel. The latter value is scaled by a given coefficient and subtracted from the symbol received by the modem suffering from the NEXT interference. [0014]
    [0015] Both self-echo cancellation and LT-NEXT cancellation are possible because the signal transmitted by the same modem (in the case of the self-echo) or by a neighboring modem of the central office (in the case of LT-NEXT interference) is directly available. [0015]
    [0016] FEXT cancellation is however intrinsically more complex than NEXT or self-echo cancellation because the modem transmitting over the interfering channel is now located on the far-end side and the actual values of the interfering symbols are therefore not known. [0016] SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
    [0017] An object of the present invention is therefore to design a canceller circuit for a DMT based DSL transmission system capable of significantly removing the FEXT interference and having a simple structure. [0017]
    [0018] It is also an object of the present invention to design an efficient FEXT canceling method in a DMT based DSL transmission system. [0018]
    [0019] These and other objects are achieved by a far-end crosstalk canceling circuit for a digital subscriber line transmission system, said transmission system comprising a plurality of line termination modems transmitting discrete multitone symbols to corresponding network termination modems over a plurality of transmission channels, comprising precompensation means multiplying, before transmission, a vector S=(Si), i=1 to n, by a precompensation matrix such that a matrix product H*M is diagonal, H being a transfer matrix of the plurality of transmission channels defined by R=H*S, where R=(Ri), i=1 to n, is the vector of the discrete multitone symbols Ri respectively received by the modems. [0019]
    [0020] The invention also provides a far-end crosstalk canceling method for a digital subscriber line transmission system, said transmission system comprising a plurality of line termination modems transmitting discrete multitone symbols Si to corresponding network termination modems over n transmission channels, wherein a vector S=(Si), i=1 to n, is multiplied, before transmission, by a precompensation matrix M such that the matrix product H*M is diagonal, H being a transfer matrix of the n transmission channels defined by R=H*S, where R=(Ri), i=1 to n, is the vector of the discrete multitone symbols Ri respectively received by the modems. [0020]

    [0029] The invention is based on the idea that it is possible to remove FEXT interference at the NT side by appropriately predistorting at the LT side the DMT symbols to be transmitted. More specifically, if S is the vector (Si), i=1 to n, where Si is the DMT symbol to be transmitted by the modem Mi and if R is the vector (Ri), i=1 to n, where Ri is the DMT symbol received by the modem Mc(i), then R=H*S where H is the transfer matrix of the n downstream (i.e. LT to NT) transmission channels. [0029]
    [0030] R and S are vectors of n*N components as concatenation of n vectors of N components, each Si (resp. Ri) being a vector of N frequency (or tone) components Si(fj) (resp. Ri(fj)). [0030]
    [0031] If we assume that there exists a matrix M such that H*M=D where D is diagonal and if the vector S is multiplied by the matrix M before transmission then R=H*M*S=D*S is freed from FEXT interference since any component Ri(fj) of the DMT symbol Ri received by the modem Mc(i) depends only upon the component Si(fj) of the DMT symbol Si transmitted by the modem Mi. [0031]
    [0032] In most practical cases, the transfer matrix H can be inverted and one can simply choose M=H−1 and D=I, where I is unity matrix. This provides a further advantage since equalization of the frequency components of the received DMT symbols is no longer necessary. [0032]
    [0033] A FEXT precompensating circuit according to a first embodiment of the invention is hereafter described in connection with FIG. 3A. This circuit comprises a memory [0033] 31 in which are stored the columns Hi of the transfer matrix H. The matrix coefficients Hik are then supplied to a matrix inverter 32. A matrix multiplier 33 receives the inverted matrix M=H−1 as well as the DMT symbols Si provided by the LT modems Mi and performs the multiplication M*S. The DMT symbols
    [0034] are then respectively supplied to the LT modems Mi. In each LT modem Mi the DMT symbol (M*S)[0034] i is provided to an IFFT circuit in place of the DMT symbol Si and the resulting time block of samples is transmitted to the NT modem Mc(i).
    [0035] As shown in FIG. 6, the coefficients of the transfer matrix can be provided by an external LT-FEXT canceller [0035] 60 such as disclosed in a copending U.S. patent application, filed on even date herewith entitled “DSL transmission system with far-end crosstalk cancellation” by the same applicants, which is incorporated herein by reference. Basically, this LT-FEXT canceller adaptively estimates the inverse Hu −1 of the transfer matrix of the n upstream (i.e. NT to LT) transmission channels and multiplies the vector of the DMT symbols received by the LT modems by Hu −1 for recovering FEXT-free received symbols. Assuming that the downstream transfer matrix H=Hu −1, the FEXT precompensating circuit 61 can directly use the estimated matrix output by the LT-FEXT canceller as matrix H.
    [0036] When there is no symmetry, one can also estimate H−1 or H, respectively H(fj)[0036] −1 or H(fj) as mentioned hereafter, by an adaptative algorithm minimizing a quadratic error (for example by a least mean square method). The method comprises calculating the error
    [0037] on the NT side and in sending back this error to the LT side for updating the coefficients of Ĥ[0037] −1 (here, k is not the time index but a specific value of S).
    [0038] A second embodiment of the FEXT precompensating circuit is hereafter described in connection with FIG. 3B. [0038]
    [0039] In a conventional DMT transmission system, the FEXT generated at a frequency fj depends also upon frequency components transmitted at neighboring frequencies since the limited duration of the time domain blocks causes a spreading of the frequency components. It is now assumed that the FEXT generated at a frequency fj depends only upon components transmitted at the same frequency (intra-frequency FEXT). [0039]
    [0040] If the modems are synchronous Zipper modems as described in the international application WO97/06619, which is incorporated herein by reference, the assumption made above is fully valid, i.e. the FEXT at a frequency fj is independent from the frequency components transmitted at the frequencies fi, i≠j. Indeed, in such modems, the suffix appended to each time domain block before transmission eliminates any inter-frequency crosstalk. [0040]
    [0041] With the intra-frequency crosstalk assumption the matrix calculations are simplified: if the components at each frequency fj of the DMT symbols Si (resp. Ri) in vector S (resp. R) are grouped together, the transfer matrix H exhibits the form of a diagonal block matrix with N matrices H(fj) along its diagonal, the intra-frequency crosstalk H(fj) matrices having n*n coefficients. The inversion of the matrix H and the multiplication M*S can thus be performed sequentially frequency by frequency. [0041]
    [0042] In this embodiment a sequence controller [0042] 34′ controls an address generator 35′, parallel to serial converters 36-1′ to 36-n′, serial to parallel converters 37-1′ to 37-n′, and generates the insertion control clock CKin and the tone clock CKt for all the LT modems i.
    [0043] The memory [0043] 31′ is organized in planes, each plane storing a matrix H(fj). The matrices H(fj) are sequentially retrieved and inverted in matrix inverter 32′. The inverted matrices H−1(fj) are sequentially provided to matrix multiplier 33′.
    [0044] The DMT symbols Si are each provided to a parallel to serial converter [0044] 36-i′ controlled by the sequence controller 34′. The N components Si(fj), j=1 to N, are sequentially output by the parallel to serial converters and the matrix multiplier 33′ sequentially calculates the matrix products H−1(fj)* S(fj), where S(fj) is the vector S(fj)= (Si(fj)), i=1 to n. The components [H−1(fj)*S(fj)]i of the vector provided by the matrix multiplier 33′ are then each transformed by serial to parallel converters 36-i′ into DMT symbols (H−1*S)i.
    [0045] FIG. 4 shows an LT-modem Mi for use with a FEXT precompensating circuit according to the second embodiment of the invention. [0045]
    [0046] The structure of this modem is similar to the one shown in FIG. 1, the identical elements bearing translated references. After mapping, the complex components are provided to a zero inserter inserting a zero component on a rising edge of signal CKin at a location given by a modulo N counter [0046] 422 clocked by the signal CKt. The complex components are then converted into a DMT symbol Si by a serial to parallel converter 412 and Si is provided to a precompensating circuit 30′. The DMT symbol (H−1*S)i output by the precompensating circuit is provided to a pilot tone inserter circuit 430 which inserts a pilot tone component P(i,fj) on a rising edge of the signal CKin delayed by the delay 431. The modulo N counter 422 provides the more significative bit (MSB) of a read address to ROM 433, the least significative bit (LSB) of the address being given by a signal SELi which indicates whether the modem is selected. This signal can be directly generated by the sequencer or, preferably, provided by a comparator 434 comparating the rank i of the modem Mi with the output of a modulo n counter 432 clocked by Ckin. The data P(i,fj) stored at the read address are supplied to the pilot tone inserter 430 which inserts the pilot tone value P(i,fj) as a component at frequency component fj of the DMT symbol Si on the rising edge of the delayed signal CKin. The DMT symbol is then frequency-time transformed by the IFFT circuit 413 as usual.
    [0047] On the receiving side of the modem Mi, the block RX is identical to the block RX of the modem illustrated in FIG. 1. The data output by RX are provided to a demultiplexer which separates the received coefficients Hik from the data as explained further below. [0047]
    [0048] In normal transmitting mode the signals CKin and CKt are low, no zero is inserted by the zero inserter [0048] 420 and no pilot tone value is inserted by the inserter 430. The data X are normally mapped and then parallelized into DMT symbols Si. The precompensated DMT symbol (H−1*S)i received from the precompensating circuit 30′ is also directly fed to the IFFT circuit.
    [0049] In mixed transmitting/updating mode, the zero inserter inserts a zero complex value at the location j given by the counter [0049] 422. This is done simultaneously for all the modems Mi. Each Si carries therefore N−1 normally mapped data and a zero at the frequency fj. All the precompensated DMT symbols (H−1*S)i received from the precompensating circuit 30′ have therefore also a zero as component at frequency fj. In each modem Mi, this zero is replaced by the pilot tone inserter with a complex value P(i,fj)=0 if SELi=0 and P(i,fj)= pj if SELi=1, where pj is a predetermined complex number depending upon the frequency fj only. The modems M1, M2 . . . Mn are selected in turn at the frequency of CKin. A further CKt pulse increments j and the whole insertion process is repeated again at the new frequency fj.
    [0050] If the current counter value is j[0050] 0 and if the modem Mi0 is selected, the n components at frequency fj0 of the DMT symbols received by the NT modems Mc(i) constitute the i0-th column of the matrix H(fj0) multiplied by pj0. The NT modems Mc(i) can therefore transmit the matrix coefficients Hiol(fj0) to the LT modems Mi, each coefficient being for example preceded by a predetermined header. Demultiplexer 440 in LT modem Mi detects this header and extracts the coefficient Hioi(fj0). The column vector (Hioi(fj0)), i=1 to n, is sent to the precompensating means 30′ and stored at the i0-th column of the j0-th plane of memory 31′.
    [0051] FIG. 5 shows the structure of an NT modem which can be used with the precompensating circuit of FIG. 3B and LT modems of FIG. 4. The structure of this modem is similar to the one shown in FIG. 1, the identical elements bearing translated references. In contrast with the latter, the NT modem comprises a multiplexer [0051] 520, updating means 530, a modulo N counter 522 and has no equalizer. It is assumed that the NT side is provided with a sequence controller synchronized with the controller 34′ and having the same sequence pattern.
    [0052] The updating means [0052] 530 receives a value j0 from the modulo N counter 522 clocked by CKt and the signal Ckin delayed by delay 531. In updating/transmitting mode, the updating means 530 extracts on a rising edge of Ckin the component at frequency j0 of the received DMT symbol output by the FFT block 514. The updating means 530 compares the coefficient Hioi(fj0) with the last coefficient Hioi(fj0) previously obtained. If the absolute value of the difference is greater than a given threshold Thj0, which in general is a function of frequency fj0, the new coefficient is appended to a header and transmitted via multiplexer 520 to the LT modem Mi.
    [0053] Turning back to FIG. 3B, similarly to the first embodiment, the columns of the matrices H(fj) can also be directly provided by an external LT-FEXT canceller as shown in FIG. 6. With the assumption of intra-frequency FEXT the LT-FEXT canceller has a is simplified structure. In such an instance, as disclosed in the above cited copending application, the LT-FEXT canceller estimates the matrices H[0053] u −1(fj) for j=1 to N. These matrices can be used as the precompensating matrices H(fj).
    [0054] Having thus described at least one illustrative embodiment of the invention, various alterations, modifications, and improvements will readily occur to those skilled in the art. Such alterations, modifications, and improvements are intended to be within the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, the foregoing description is by way of example only and is not intended as limiting. The invention is limited only as defined in the following claims and the equivalents thereto. [0054]
