Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer for Sending Communication Signals to Customer Devices

A system, comprising:

• a digital subscriber line access multiplexer comprising one or more circuits configured for communication of signals with a plurality of customer devices, at one or more customer premises, via customer lines;
• wherein the one or more circuits are configured to:
• send a downlink communication signal to a customer device concurrently via a direct customer line connected to the customer device and at least one other customer line connected to another customer device;
• and
• manage the communication of signals, wherein the managing comprising configuring the downlink communication signal to generate a total received signal at the customer device, and wherein:
• the total received signal corresponds to a combining of a first received signal, corresponding to communication of the downlink communication signal via the direct customer line, and a second received signal, corresponding to crosstalk effects, at the customer device, of communication of the downlink communication signal via the at least one other customer line;
• and
• the downlink communication signal is configured to increase power of the total received signal compared to the first received signal because of the combining of the second received signal.

A method, comprising:

• sending from a digital subscriber line access multiplexer, a downlink communication signal to a customer device concurrently via both of a direct customer line connected to the customer device and at least one other customer line connected to another customer device;
• and
• managing the communication of signals, wherein the managing comprises configuring the downlink communication signal to generate a total received signal at the customer device, and wherein:
• the total received signal corresponds to a combining of a first received signal, corresponding to communication of the downlink communication signal via the direct customer line, and a second received signal, corresponding to crosstalk effects, at the customer device, of communication of the downlink communication signal via the at least one other customer line;
• and
• the downlink communication signal is configured to increase power of the total received signal compared to the first received signal because of the combining of the second received signal.
