Determinação da função de transferência de enlaces metálicos a partir de medições de impedância de entrada

The digital subscriber line (DSL) technology aims at exploiting the full potential of the telephone metallic lines on providing broadband access. On the other hand, the telephone lines may have distinct transmission capacities due to differences on their topologies. Therefore, it is important to measure the actual transmission capacity of each line before the DSL service deployment. This process is called line qualification. The determination of the transmission capacity of metallic lines requires previous determination of their transfer function. The existent qualification techniques determine the transfer function from the communication between equipments at the central office and the customer’s premises or indirectly, from knowledge about the topology of the line under test. Both processes are not in line with a pre-deployment scenario since they imply additional costs with the dispatching of technicians to the subscriber’s site, dependency of updated records about the telephone network (rarely available) or use of sophisticated line topology techniques. Therefore, the goal of this work is to propose a method for determining the transfer function of metallic lines with the following features: it does not need previous knowledge about the line topology, it uses information collected just at the central office (CO) and it does not require any human intervention at the subscriber’s site. Essentially, the general form of the proposed method analytically describes the transfer function of the line under test in function of its short and open-circuited input impedances, taken from the CO, and its asymmetry. Additionally, an algorithm that derives the short-circuited input impedance from the envelopes of the open-circuited one was developed. By applying this algorithm together with the general form of the proposed method, it is possible to determine the transfer function from just an open-circuited input impedance measurement and without any human intervention at the subscriber’s site. The proposed method was evaluated in two steps. The first step concerns the evaluation of the general form of the method. Specifically, the tests involve baseline comparison using simulated data for threeline topologies, application of the method to a bunch of simulated data generated from an arbitrary lines generator, and evaluation using measurements performed in laboratory for eight real test lines. The second step concerns the joint application of the general form of the method and the algorithm that estimates the short-circuited input impedance to measured data for two of the test lines reproduced in laboratory. The results for simulated data indicate that the general form of the proposed method is efficient, providing estimates well below the defined threshold (< 3 dB per DSL tone). For measurements, the general form of the method has estimated the transfer function of seven from the test lines with deviation per tone below 1.5 dB, but it failed for the line with two bridged-taps, being one very close to the subscriber’s site. Concerning the joint application of the general form of the proposed method and the algorithm that estimates the short-circuited input impedance, the transfer function estimations have been equivalent to those provided by the general form of the method, but with significant deviations in the beginning and in the end of the frequency band. These significant deviations are due to the current version of the envelope detector block of the algorithm that has limited performance, especially for lines with more than two serial sections.

Metodologia para estimação da topologia de linhas telefônicas através da análise de medições em uma e em duas portas
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2013-06-20) LIMA, Vinicius Duarte; COSTA, João Crisóstomo Weyl Albuquerque; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9622051867672434; KLAUTAU JÚNIOR, Aldebaro Barreto da Rocha; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1596629769697284
This thesis proposes new methodologies for automatically identifying topologies of lines with one or more sections in a telephone network, which are used in digital subscriber line (DSL) systems. Methods for this purpose are very important for the line qualification in order to install the DSL service, especially when upgrading to more advanced services such as VDSL or adopting vectoring. In order to be useful to service providers in the qualification of a network, usually consisting of millions of lines, it is desired that, as well being accurate, qualification methods should have low computational cost. The proposed methods are based on this observation and perform an analysis of both impulse response and time domain reflectometry trace of a line under test. These two signals are analyzed using a method based on wavelet transform that identifies and extracts features that contain information about the line topology. Depending on the available features, one of three expert systems developed for interpreting information and identifying the topology is used. A thorough comparison with two state-of-art methods is also presented using several twisted pair copper cables. The results show that the proposed methods provide good accuracy with respect to topology identification at lower computational cost with respect to the other evaluated techniques.

Otimização de sistemas DSL utilizando técnicas de gerenciamento de espectro
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2010-05-10) MONTEIRO, Márcio Murilo Conte; KLAUTAU JÚNIOR, Aldebaro Barreto da Rocha; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1596629769697284
This dissertation presents contributions to some strategies of spectrum management which have received few attention in the literature: power minimization and noise margin maximization. Regarding power minimization, about 60% of the total power drained by the DSL transceivers are used in the transmission. The contribution of this dissertation with respect to this field was to prove mathematically that the algorithms of rate maximization can also be used to minimize power. This way, the development gap between these two modes of operation vanishes, turning them in the same level of development. The second contribution of this dissertation is about the noise margin maximization, in order to optimize the stability of DSL networks. In this direction, this dissertation presents a new algorithm of multiuser margin maximization, which shows superior performance when compared to a previous algorithm published in the specialized literature.

Técnicas de Inteligência Computacional Aplicadas à Estabilidade nos Sistemas DSL
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2015-05-29) GOMES, Ana Claudia da Silva; KLAUTAU JÚNIOR, Aldebaro Barreto da Rocha; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1596629769697284
The stability of digital subscriber lines (DSL) becomes a major challenge when tripleplay services are provisioned. These services must be reliable, while requiring relatively high transmission rates and low latency for an overall improved quality of experience. However, the stabilization tools available in DSL systems such as the automatic margin adaptation (AMA), interleaving, impulse noise protection (INP) and virtual noise (VN) usually trade o bit rate or latency in an attempt of improving the stability. The current work, on the other hand, presents a novel approach to the stabilization of the DSL lines. This approach is based on multiuser spectra coordination that seeks to mitigate crosstalk interference e ect such that feasible bit rate requirements and power restrictions are met with optimized noise margin. As only physical layer parameters are adjusted, latency is not a ected by the method. The problem is posed as a multiuser margin optimization problem and solved by evolutionary algorithms in conjunction with power minimization techniques. Simulations show that the proposed method provides signi cant improvements in terms of noise margin when compared to a previous algorithm, achieving higher protection for the network without penalizing bit rate or latency.

Transmissão DSL em modo fantasma: medições e avaliação de desempenho
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2012-12-07) GOMES, Diego de Azevedo; PELAES, Evaldo Gonçalves; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0255430734381362
Demand for bit rate is increasing every year, mainly due to the incorporation of online applications into people's life. So the companies which provide this type of service are always investing in research for technologies that enable increased bit rate with a good value for money. Following this perspective, this paper presents transmission phantom mode, which aims to increase the overall rate of transmission of bits in DSL systems when multiple copper pairs available. Here we also show results and discussions on performance of phantom mode. We discuss procedures for performing measurements in phantom mode at frequencies from 100 kHz to 300 MHz, in a way that allows the measurement of phantom mode and deferential mode with the same setup. New results are presented on the direct channel, far-end crosstalk (FEXT) and mode conversion for a Cat-5e cable of 50 meters. Among other facts, we verify large deference’s in the direct channel phantom mode when comparing rolled and unrolled cable measurements, and that manner how we build the phantom mode greatly inuences the behavior of the curves of direct channel, FEXT and mode conversion. We also present results of estimating bit rate when using phantom mode and deferential mode simultaneously, and observed that there is a gain of up to 60 when we use this two modes and vectoring.
