Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The present invention refers to a method ( 45 ) for identification ( 53, 73 ) of an impairment ( 59 ) within a telecommunication line ( 13 ), the method ( 45 ) comprising determining ( 49 ) first measurement data (Hlog) that characterize a transfer function of the telecommunication line ( 13 ). In order to provide a method ( 45 ) for identification of an impairment ( 59 ) within the telecommunication line ( 13 ) that can be applied on the telecommunication line ( 13 ) without interrupting the operation of the line ( 13 ) and that can easily be implemented in connection with existing system such as existing DSL systems, it is suggested that the method ( 45 ) further comprise determining ( 55 ) at least one periodicity interval (Δf 1 , Δf 2 ) of oscillations of the transfer function and that the impairment ( 59 ) be identified depending on said determining ( 55 ).
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method for identification of an impairment within a telecommunication line, the method comprising: determining first measurement data that characterize a transfer function of the telecommunication line; determining at least one periodicity interval of the transfer function; estimating at least two target impairment locations within the telecommunication line based on the at least one periodicity interval of the transfer function; determining no…
