Abstract:
1. A method for monitoring impulse noise in a network for digital data packet transmission, said method comprising the steps of: sensing reception quality of received data packets; generating a bit string indicative of said reception quality sensed, said bit string containing at least one bit per received data packet; transferring said bit string or a compressed version of said bit string in real-time over a management channel to a first central processing unit in said network, the first central processing unit configured to at least one of compact and process the bit string or the compressed version of the bit string, the at least one of compacting and processing including generating impulse noise data; generating one or more subsequent bit strings, similar to said bit string; and storing said bit string and said one or more subsequent bit strings or compressed versions of said bit string and said one or more subsequent bit strings in a memory at a remote end network terminal.
