Alien interference removal in vectored DSL

A method for performing DSL vectoring in a DSL system having a plurality of active lines, the method comprising:

• transmitting test signal input signals on the plurality of active lines;
• collecting test signal output signals from the active lines;
• collecting pseudo signals comprising in-domain interference and correlated alien interference;
• removing in-domain interference from the collected pseudo signals to generate alien interference data;
• and
• performing DSL vectoring of the plurality of active lines using the alien interference data.
