Channel Capacity Estimation of Digital Subscriber Lines

Carine Neus; Wim Foubert; Patrick Boets; Leo Van Biesen

Abstract

Although fiber is being deployed steadily in the telephone network for broadband services, complete penetration will take several decades. This motivates using the omnipresent copper telephone network as effectively as possible during the transition period. This is already widely done by the telephone operators through the provision of xDSL services (e.g. ADSL, VDSL). The achievable capacity, i.e. bit rate, is different for every customer, because each telephone loop has a different transfer function, determined by the loop make-up (loop topology, line lenghts, cable types, ...). When the received noise is known or measured, then the channel capacity C can be estimated using Shannon's formula
