| 20110019578 | METHOD AND ARRANGEMENT FOR THE POWER MANAGEMENT OF A DIGITAL COMMUNICATION LINE - The present invention relates to a method and an arrangement for the power management of a digital communication line such as a digital subscriber line DSL. A problem addressed by the invention is that the transitioning of the digital subscriber line from a low transmission power state to a high transmission power state can cause disturbance to adjacent lines. This problem is solved by the current invention by an access node AN that is arranged to step-wise increase the power state until the high transmission power state has been reached. The invention also comprises embodiments of monitoring and detecting traffic events that serve as triggers of the transitioning. | 01-27-2011 |

| 20130272110 | Method for Handling Transmission Errors On a Telecommunications Transmission Line - When data retransmission is used to handle errors caused by impulse noise, buffer memory requirements may be reduced and/or data rate increased by detecting impulse noise at the transmitting equipment and initiating retransmission in response to such detection rather than waiting for a retransmission indication from the receiving end. The decision to retransmit may be made dependent on the strength or other properties of the detected noise burst. The decision criterion may be made adaptive by correlating noise burst properties with received retransmission indications or the absence thereof. | 10-17-2013 |

| 20140169489 | Method for Saving Power in a Telecommunications System - In a vectoring-capable DSL system, power can be saved by a low power mode wherein data transmission is reduced or halted, but synch symbols continue to be transmitted, so that estimation of crosstalk coefficients may continue during the low power mode. When crosstalk coefficient estimates are up to date, a line may exit low power mode without causing problematic changes of crosstalk noise in other lines, since the vectoring functionality will eliminate or reduce the crosstalk. | 06-19-2014 |
