Abstract
Derivations of new PHY layer diagnostics primitives are based on the normalized error samples collected through G.993.5. The processing uses the ERB and L2 Ethernet packet encapsulation of these ERB data in order to abstract the processing from the PHY layer device dependency, as well as to allow a local and remote processing of the primitives for diagnostics purposes.
Claims24
A method implemented in a communications system, comprising:
- receiving error packets related to line conditions in a path in the communications system;
- and
- monitoring the line conditions using the received error packets, the monitoring being performed by one or more of customer premises equipment (CPE), a vector control entity (VCE) and a diagnostics application that is remote from the CPE and VCE.
A communications system, comprising:
- a receiving entity that receives error packets related to line conditions in a path in the communications system;
- and
- an analysis apparatus that monitors the line conditions using the received error packets, the analysis apparatus comprising one or more of customer premises equipment (CPE), a vector control entity (VCE) and a diagnostics application that is remote from the CPE and VCE.
