Abstract:
1. An optical management node comprising: a memory comprising instructions; a processor coupled to the memory and configured to execute the instructions, wherein executing the instructions causes the processor to schedule data transmissions across an electrical network between a plurality of user terminals and an optoelectrical interface by using time division multiplexing or time division multiple access based on optimization of crosstalk performance of electrical lines of the electrical network; and a transmitter coupled to the processor and configured to transmit schedule information to the optoelectrical interface via an optical network, wherein scheduling data transmissions comprises disallowing temporally overlapping data transmissions on at least one of the electrical lines with respect to a second electrical line when a calculated cross-talk value associated with the at least one electrical line is greater than a pre-determined threshold.
