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 15):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein determining attainable upstream data rates for the first and second groups of DSL lines comprises estimating achievable performance targets for each of the first and second groups by performing the at least one of the following operations:\n i. modeling a general estimation for an regional loop plant encompassing the plurality of DSL lines based upon statistical properties for the regional loop plant without requiring per-line statistics for the plurality of DSL lines constituting the first and second groups; ii. modeling a knowledge estimation for the plurality of DSL lines based upon per-line statistics for each the plurality of DSL lines including statistics for the plurality of DSL lines selected from one or more of: a quantity of lines, cable and binder assignments for the lines, line lengths, crosstalk coupling levels amongst the lines, background noise levels affecting the lines, and exposure length defined as a part of the cable which is shared by the lines first group and the lines of the second group through which crosstalk coupling occurs; and iii. modeling a performance based estimation based on operational performance of the plurality of DSL lines or operational capabilities for at least one service associated with the plurality of DSL lines, or both.
