Abstract:
1. A method of analyzing an analyzed fault associated with an analyzed communication medium, comprising: receiving a plurality of sets of first echo canceller coefficients from an echo canceller, each of the plurality of sets of first echo canceller coefficients having an associated degree of convergence; selecting one of the plurality of sets of first echo canceller coefficients based on the degree of convergence associated with each of the plurality of sets of first echo canceller coefficients; receiving an echo canceller profile, wherein the echo canceller profile includes at least one set of profile echo canceller coefficients; correlating the selected set of first echo canceller coefficients with at least one of the sets of profile echo canceller coefficients included in the echo canceller profile; and characterizing the analyzed fault based on the correlation between the selected set of first echo canceller coefficients and the at least one of the sets of profile echo canceller coefficients included in the echo canceller profile.
