A channel characteristic of a transmission channel (CHANNEL) between a remote terminal (RT) and a central office (CO) is estimated by collecting information in the remote terminal (RT), transferring this information from the remote terminal (RT) to the central office (CO) and matching the received information at the central office (CO) with a channel and remote terminal simulation model. The values of parameters of the latter simulation model, which define the channel characteristic to be estimated, are determined as a result of the matching process. The information collected by the remote terminal (RT) typically is information that is automatically collected by the remote terminal (RT) for operational purposes such as equaliser setting, bit allocation, and so on.
A method to estimate a transmission channel characteristic of a transmission channel between a central office station and a remote terminal, said method comprises:
A transmission channel characteristic estimating arrangement for estimating a transmission channel characteristic of a transmission channel between a central office station and a remote terminal, wherein said arrangement comprises:
A remote terminal suitable for communication with a central office station via a transmission channel therebetween, wherein said remote terminal comprises:
