A method is presented of determining whether a digital subscriber line is susceptible to radio frequency interference. The method measures the signal to noise ratio (SNR) margin on the digital subscriber line over a number of 24 hour periods. The measured SNR margin over a given 24 hour period is then compared to a reference function of SNR margin over time (24 hours), where the SNR margin of the reference function is higher during the day and lower during the night, and also repeats daily. A measure of the interference susceptibility is generated based on the degree of similarity between the measured SNR margin and the reference function.

Disclosed is a transmitter which includes an encoder and a transmission interface circuit. The encoder receives data bits and generates conversion bits, a number of is the conversion bits being more than a number of the data bits, based on the number of the data bits. The encoder detects a risk pattern of the conversion bits to generate detection data and converts the risk pattern into a replacement pattern based on the detection data to generate code bits, a number of is the code bits being equal to the number of the conversion bits.

A system and method for signal processing in a cable modem termination system (CMTS) is provided. A CMTS receiver in communication with a plurality of cable modems at a upstream signal or a cable modem receiver in communication with the CMTS at a downstream signal.

Systems and methods for providing wireless communication impairment correction using non-linear iterative precoding by a transmitter device are disclosed. The transmitter may exploit the non-linear transmit indications, and perform digital non-linear multiple input multiple output (MIMO) precoding of a transmit signal to improve the error vector magnitude (EVM) at the intended receiver device and/or reduce the adjacent channel leakage ratio (ACLR) at the unintended receiver devices. The non-linear transmit indications may comprise amplitude modulation to amplitude modulation (AM-AM) and amplitude modulation to phase modulation (AM-PM) indications. In operation, the non-linear transmit indications may be received from the intended receiver devices or may be measured by the transmitter device.

Control of a digital communication system having a plurality of communication lines on which signals are transmitted and received is implemented using a variety of methods and systems. According to one embodiment of the present invention, a method is implemented where the signals are affected by interference during transmission and each of the communication lines has at least one transmitter and at least one receiver. A model is created of the interference characteristics due to the signals carried on the communication lines. Interference characteristics for a line are determined based on the model and actual signals carried on other communication lines different from the line for which the characteristics are being determined. Actual interference is compensated for on the communication line using the determined interference characteristics.
