Abstract:
A method for estimating downstream gain and upstream gain of an amplifier at an intermediate location in a twisted pair line between a DSL Access Multiplexer (DSLAM) and a customer premises equipment (CPE) for high data rate broadband operation. The method includes: an offline calibration process for obtaining offline tables, and an estimation process including: setting the downstream gain and the upstream gain to a set of predefined gains in the twisted pair line when activated and getting an indication if the line is in ShowTime. In case the line is in ShowTime, the estimation process further measures the downstream/upstream signal level, estimates the distance from the amplifier to the CPE and distance from the amplifier to the to the CPE and the distance from the amplifier to the DSLAM, and obtains the upstream/downstream gains.

Claim (Index 6):
A method for downstream gain and upstream gain of an amplifier at an intermediate location in a twisted pair line between a Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) Access Multiplexer and a customer premises equipment for high data rate broadband operation, comprising:\n setting the current downstream gain and the current upstream gain, to a set of predefined gains in which said twisted pair line may be activated, first value of said set of predefined gains to the downstream gain and second value of said set of predefined gains to the upstream gain; obtaining an indication if said line state is ShowTime; increasing said current downstream gain and said current upstream gain by downstream delta/upstream delta until said line state is not in ShowTime; and setting the current downstream and upstream gains according to highest downstream and upstream gain set before said failure to be in showtime.
