US 8,275,006 B2 · Method and apparatus for binding transmission lines

Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method for binding transmission lines and the method includes the following steps: first decide a transmission speed supported by all the transmission lines to be bound, activate all the transmission lines to be bound at the transmission speed supported by all the transmission lines and then bind all the transmission lines. Apparatus for binding transmission lines is also disclosed in the embodiments, which includes a speed reselecting module, a reactivating module and a binding module. According to the embodiments of the present invention, transmission lines with different transmission speeds are bound together in such a way that transmission lines with different transmission speeds could be activated at one transmission speed. Therefore, the bound transmission line may provide wider bandwidth for the user because all the bound transmission lines have the same transmission speed.

A method for binding transmission lines, comprising:

deciding, by a broadband access device, a transmission speed supported by all the transmission lines to be bound, wherein all the transmission lines to be bound are digital-subscriber-line (DSL) transmission lines that correspond to a same DSL interface provided for a user by the broadband access device;
activating, by the broadband access device, all the transmission lines to be bound at the transmission speed supported by all the transmission lines, and binding all the transmission lines;
sending, by the broadband access device, data to a peer side device via the bound transmission lines according to a first bind-sending rule;
and
receiving, by the broadband access device, data via the bound transmission lines from the peer side device according to a second bind-sending rule stored in the broadband access device;
wherein the first bind-sending rule is different from the second bind-sending rule.
