Abstract
What is disclosed is a method for transmitting DSL data including establishing a communication link between a first unit and a second unit, the communication link selectively operable according to one of a plurality of management states, each of said management states defined by at least one fixed control parameters associated with a predetermined value. The method also includes initiating operation of the communication link according to a first management state; transmitting from the first unit a request to the second unit to modify said predetermined value; and implementing the request while said link is operating according to the first management state.
Claims23
A method for transmitting DSL data comprising:
- establishing a DSL communication link between a first unit and a second unit, the communication link selectively operable according to one of a plurality of management states, each of said management states defined by at least one fixed control parameters associated with a predetermined value;
- initiating operation of the communication link according to a first management state;
- transmitting from the first unit a request to the second unit to modify said predetermined value, wherein the second unit selectively rejects the request;
- implementing the request if not rejected while said link is operating according to the first management state, and
- monitoring a peak rate to determine a necessary rate increase on the communication link.
A method for transmitting data comprising:
- establishing a DSL communication link between a first unit and a second unit, the communication link selectively operable according to one of a plurality of management states, each of said management states defined by at least one fixed control parameter associated with a predetermined value;
- initiating operation of the communication link according to a first management state;
- transmitting from the first unit a request to the second unit to modify said predetermined value, wherein the second unit selectively rejects the request;
- and
- implementing the requested modification if the request is not rejected;
- whereby the first management state is redefined by the modified predetermined value monitoring a peak rate to determine a necessary rate increase on the communication link.
A method for transmitting data comprising:
- establishing a DSL communication link between a first unit and a second unit, the communication link comprising a data transmission channel and a control channel, the communication link selectively operable according to one of a plurality of management states, each of said management states defined by at least one fixed control parameter associated with a predetermined value;
- initiating, via the control channel, operation of the communication link according to a first management state with reduced power consumption;
- measuring the data transmission in the data channel to obtain a measurement;
- formatting a request based on said measurement;
- transmitting, from the first unit, said request to the second unit to modify said predetermined value, wherein the second unit selectively rejects the requests
- monitoring a peak rate to determine a necessary rate increase on the communication link.
