Patent ID: 6862261

Claim:
A zipper type Very high bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line (VDSL) system which comprises a transmitter including an inverse fast Fourier transformer for performing an inverse fast Fourier transform on input data, and a cyclic extension adder for adding a cyclic extension for each symbol to the data output from the inverse fast Fourier transformer and outputting the data to a transmission channel; and a receiver including a cyclic extension remover for removing the cyclic extension from the data received through the transmission channel, and a fast Fourier transformer for performing a fast Fourier transform on the data output from the cyclic extension remover, wherein the cyclic extension adder copies a first predetermined number of data starting from the leading part of the input symbol data received from the inverse fast Fourier transformer into a first cyclic suffix for removing interference between symbols and maintaining orthogonality between sub-carriers; adds the first cyclic suffix to the end of the symbol data; copies a second predetermined number of data subsequent to the first predetermined number of data into a second cyclic suffix for maintaining orthogonality between upstream and downstream; and adds the second cyclic suffix to the end of the first cyclic suffix.
