Digital subscriber loop interface unit

Abstract

A digital subscriber loop interface unit, connected to a digital subscriber loop, includes an echo canceler for carrying out a echo canceling operation, a decision feedback equalizer for carrying out an equalizing operation, and a transversal filter, provided in at least one of the echo canceler and the decision feedback equalizer, in which a plurality of taps among all taps are grouped into groups, each group including a predetermined number of taps continuously arranged, a single tap coefficient being assigned to the taps in each group. A digital subscriber loop interface unit may include an echo canceler for carrying out a echo canceling operation by using a value obtained by adding +1 to a symbol value represented by a 2B1Q code. Further, the echo canceler may have a jitter echo canceler in which a convolution operation is carried out by using a value obtained by adding +1 to a symbol value represented by the 2B1Q code, the tap coefficient used in the convolution operation is changed in accordance with a time elapsing from occurrence of the jitter. Furthermore, a digital subscriber loop interface unit may have a low-pass filter in which a filter coefficient is changed based on whether the decision feedback equalizer is in or after a pull-in step.
