A method for initialization of a group of customer premises equipment devices (CPEs) during a training that registers capabilities of the CPEs is disclosed, wherein at least one CPE registers late to the training and cannot be registered. The method includes determining capabilities of the CPEs during a joining phase of the training, wherein it is determined whether a CPE device is capable of employing vectoring and placing in a hold status the at least one CPE that registers late by keeping a line active that is coupled to the at least one CPE. The method further includes providing another joining phase after the joining phase to register the at least one CPE that registers late.

The present technology relates to a signal processing device, a signal processing method, and a program capable of reducing influence of crosstalk. Provided are: a plurality of comparators; a delay unit adapted to delay output of each of the plurality of comparators; and a subtractor adapted to subtract, from a supplied signal, a signal from the delay unit. The signal processing device processes signals transmitted in N phases and includes (N−1) or more comparators. Each of the plurality of comparators has a different threshold value set and compares a received signal with the threshold value, and in a case where the signal transitions between a plurality of voltage levels, the threshold value is set to a value within adjacent voltage levels. The present technology can be applied to a reception device that receives a signal transmitted in multiple phases and via multiple lines.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, and an apparatus for supporting a non-vector line. The method includes: selecting n non-vector lines T.sub.L from lines that are in an initializing stage, where n is an integer greater than or equal to 1; controlling to perform no further initializing for other lines that are in the initializing stage except the T.sub.L until the T.sub.L fully enters a data transmission stage; and before the T.sub.L enters the data transmission stage, estimating a far-end crosstalk coefficient C.sub.TL-SV from the T.sub.L to a vector line S.sub.V that is in the data transmission stage, where the C.sub.TL-SV is used in signal processing to eliminate far-end crosstalk caused by the T.sub.L to the S.sub.V.
