Abstract:
In accordance with embodiments disclosed herein, there are provided apparatuses, systems and methods for implementing upstream power control for DSL communications. For example, such a system may include means for: dividing a plurality of DSL lines into a first group of DSL lines and a second group of DSL lines based on characteristics common to each of the DSL lines within the respective first and second groups; determining attainable upstream data rates for the first and second groups of DSL lines according to the characteristics of each group; selecting upstream power control parameters to apply to each of the first and second groups of DSL lines based on the attainable upstream data rates determined; and instructing the DSL lines of the first and second groups to adopt the selected upstream power control parameters. Other related embodiments are disclosed.

Claim (Index 17):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein selecting upstream power control parameters to apply to each of the first and second groups of DSL lines based on the attainable upstream data rates determined, comprises one or more of:\n weighting one or more of the selected upstream power control parameters according to service levels for users in the first and second groups of lines; applying target bit rates and SNR (Signal-To-Noise) margin targets to the lines in the first group, the second group, or both the first and second groups; applying an upstream power back-off (UPBO) to the lines in the first group, the second group, or both the first and second groups; applying a waterfilling criterion to determine bit-loadings and transmit Power Spectral Densities (PSDs) to the lines in the first group, the second group, or both the first and second groups; and coordinating assignment of the selected upstream power control parameters with a centralized management system associated with a communications system within which the DSL lines operate to match the selected upstream power control parameters to be sent to the DSL lines via instructions.
