Title: Telecommunications line parameter estimation
Inventor: CHATTELL ANDREW DAVID
IPC: H04M3/30
Filed: 2001-03-06
Granted: 2010-07-20
Abstract: A fault location system for telecommunications network including a local exchange or switch, a node such as a primary connection point and a plurality of line terminations that the customer includes probability calculation to establish the location of a fault; measuring from the exchange. Historical non-faulty reference values of capacitance are compiled for each line passing through the node providing a measure of the distance of each line.  A lowest valid capacitance value provides an estimate of the reference capacitance between the exchange and the node. Using various parameters, probability tables are compiled of historic fault values and a new fault is compared against these tables to establish the probability of it being a fault at the node or elsewhere. As a result the reference capacitance can be obtained without the need for an engineer at the node, and the likely location of a fault can be pinpointed with greater accuracy.
