Abstract
A system and process for customizing the performance of an xDSL communication system in which a transmitting modem and/or a receiving modem will negotiate a performance parameter for adjustment.
Claims20
A digital subscriber line (DSL) modem, comprising:
- means for receiving a signal transmitted by a second DSL modem, the signal transmitted at a defined transmission data rate and at an initial signal transmission power;
- means for determining a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the received signal;
- and
- means for negotiating, with the second DSL modem, a reduction of the signal transmission power at the defined transmission data rate based upon the determined SNR and a minimum acceptable SNR;
- and
- means for receiving a second signal transmitted by the second DSL modem at the defined transmission data rate and at the reduced signal transmission power.

A method performed by a digital subscriber line (DSL) modem, comprising:
- receiving a signal transmitted by a second DSL modem at a transmission data rate and at an initial signal transmission power;
- determining a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the received signal;
- negotiating, with the second DSL modem, a reduction of the signal transmission power at the transmission data rate when the determined SNR exceeds a minimum acceptable SNR corresponding to the transmission data rate by a specified margin.
