  1. BLIND CROSSTALK CANCELLATION FOR DMT SYSTEMS Nadeem Ahmed Nirmal Warke ECE Dept. DSPS R&D Center Rice University Texas Instruments

  2. Motivation ADSL POTS VDSL ISDN HDSL 10 kHz 100 kHz 1 MHz 10 MHz 100 MHz • New multimedia and networking applications => increasing demand for bandwidth • DSL is cost effective broadband solution

  3. Motivation Binder ADSL lines HDSL lines POTS • Increasing density of DSL deployment => Increased crosstalk • Crosstalk typically increases with frequency => significant impairment for high speed DSL

  4. Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT): Interference that arises when signals are transmitted in opposite directions Far-End Crosstalk (FEXT): Interference that arises when signals are transmitted in the same direction Types of Crosstalk

  5. FEXT signals travel the entire length of the channel FDD modems virtually eliminate self-NEXT. Main source of crosstalk comes from other services (i.e. HDSL, T1, etc), which are much stronger than self-FEXT. DSL System Model

  6. Crosstalk Power on Line

  7. Combating Crosstalk • Crosstalk Avoidance • Varying transmit spectra • Modified bit-loading algorithm • Block coding across modems at CO • Crosstalk Cancellation • Treat as multiuser detection problem • Using DFE’s • Exploit symbol rate differences

  8. Varying Transmit Spectra • Design optimal transmit spectra which vary with channel, noise and interference • Designed to reject self-NEXT in a manner which maximizes overall data rate • Maintains spectral compatibility with other services

  9. Modified Bit-Loading Algorithm • Modify the bit-loading algorithm • Change order of placing power in bins • Factor NEXT into algorithm • Minimizes NEXT within cable binder and extend reach of service

  10. Block Coding Across COs • Block coding to eliminate NEXT • If code blocks are greater than a minimum length, NEXT can be completely eliminated • Need control of a service i.e., all DSL modems • only useful for self-NEXT rejection

  11. Multi-User Detection • Use multiuser detection techniques to cancel crosstalk • Jointly detect desired and crosstalk signals • Published results for Home LAN interference cancellation from VDSL

  12. DFE For Self-NEXT/FEXT • Use DFE to remove cyclo-stationary crosstalk • Assumes crosstalk has same sampling rate as source • Useful for self-NEXT and self-FEXT cancellation

  13. Excess Band Crosstalk Cancellation • Crosstalkers like ISDN, HDSL, T1 have large excess band • Algorithm • Exploits lower symbol rate of crosstalker relative to the sampling rate of DSL • Crosstalker estimated in excess band and cancelled in main band

  14. Practical Issues • Most methods require knowledge of crosstalk coupling function • How do you reliably estimate the coupling function- • Use models? • Based on training data? • Very difficult problem

  15. Excess Band Crosstalk Cancellation • Paper by Zeng et al on Crosstalk Cancellation for DMT Systems

  16. Brick wall filters cannot be realized After D/A conversion, filter cannot remove all of image energy If crosstalk signal is oversampled with respect to xDSL, excess band can be observed Estimate crosstalk signal in excess band and predict crosstalk in main band Excess Band Crosstalk Cancellation

  17. Mathematical Formulation • DMT Modulation • System Impaiments- crosstalk and noise • DMT Demodulation

  18. Mathematical Formulation • Partition into 2 freq. Bands: 2 => main band 1 => excess band • Demodulate DMT signal in excess band and subtract to estimate crosstalk signal

  19. Cancellation Algorithm • Let x = M.r be a linear estimate of crosstalk signal component x • MMSE Estimate: • Hence crosstalk signal in main band is, Project onto main band M

  20. Blind Cancellation • If = .C and x = b, channel is assumed to be known => Zeng’s solution • Instead, let = and x = C.b => Blind Approach • Solution uses crosstalk statistics i.e. autocorrelation information • Estimate coupling function and crosstalk data simultaneously

  21. Dependence on crosstalk symbol delay • Relative crosstalk symbol delay varies with DMT frame => varies with DMT frame • where,

  22. Blind Cancellation- Practical Solution • Autocorrelation can be easily estimated during training and/or quiet periods • Crosstalk cancellation matrix can be pre-computed and stored • Steady state operation involves product of cancellation matrix with vector r • Practical to implement

  23. Crosstalk Simulations • Consider an ADSL system: • Transmission bandwidth: (25.875, 1104) kHz • 256 tones over 1104 kHz bandwidth • AWGN at –140 dBm/Hz • Crosstalk: 1 HDSL (f_N=192kHz) and 1 T1 (f_N=772kHz) • Assumption • Assume crosstalk symbol delay is known to within some finite precision

  24. Crosstalk Measurements • Used vector signal analyzer • 12 wire twisted pair cable binder (4000 ft) • Used periodic chirp as input signal • Captured magnitude and phase of transfer function

  25. Channel Measurements • 4000 ft, 24AWG, 21 pair wire binder

  26. NEXT Coupling Functions From 1 into 2 From 11 into 5 • 4000 ft, 24AWG, 21 pair wire binder

  27. HDSL Crosstalk Cancellation • 15/12dB average crosstalk energy reduction for Q(T/4)/Q(T/2)

  28. HDSL Crosstalk Cancellation • 1500/1000ft average reach improvement at 1Mbps for Q(T/4)/Q(T/2)

  29. HDSL+T1 Crosstalk Cancellation • require 2x oversampled receiver • 12/7dB average crosstalk energy reduction for Q(T/4)/Q(T/2)

  30. HDSL+T1 Crosstalk Cancellation • 2000/1500ft average reach improvement at 1Mbps for Q(T/4)/Q(T/2)

  31. Conclusions • Blind crosstalk cancellation method uses statistical properties of received signal • Signal cancellation matrix can be pre-computed (steady state operation involves inner products) • Simulations show significant gain for realistic ADSL system • Performance is robust to jitter in crosstalk symbol timing estimate

  32. Future Work • Investigate methods for estimating crosstalk symbol timing • Study effect of incorrect DMT decisions in excess band on cancellation performance (multiple crosstalkers) • Investigate alternative crosstalk cancellation methods
