Patent ID: 7092412

Claim:
An XDSL communication system configured to couple to a plurality of subscriber lines, and the XDSL communication system comprising: an opposing pair of XDSL transceivers configured to communicate subscriber sessions across the plurality of subscriber lines and each including; a plurality of analog front ends (AFE) each configured to couple to corresponding ones of the plurality of subscriber lines for conversion of analog signals thereon; a digital signal processor (DSP) for modulation and demodulation of each of the subscriber sessions, and the DSP coupled to the plurality of AFE for packet switched communication therewith of packets each associated with a corresponding one of the subscriber sessions, and the DSP responsive to and including: an allocation table which allocates the subscriber sessions to corresponding ones of the plurality of subscriber lines and associated ones of the plurality of AFE based on bandwidth requirements of each of the subscriber sessions, and the allocation table configurable to include at least one session inverse multiplexed across at least two of the plurality of subscriber lines based on the bandwidth requirement thereof, whereby the entries in the allocation table govern the packet switched communication of the DSP with each of the plurality of AFE.
