ABSTRACT:
The current invention provides a DSP which accommodates multiple current X-DSL protocols and is further configurable to support future protocols. The DSP is implemented with shared and dedicated hardware components on both the transmit and receive paths. The DSP implements both the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) and inverse discrete Fourier transform (IDFT) portions across a wide range of sample sizes and X-DSL protocols. Multiple channels, each with varying ones of the X-DSL protocols can be handled in the same session. The DSP offers the speed associated with hardware implementation of the transforms and the flexibility of a software only implementation. Traffic flow is regulated in the chip using a packet based schema in which each packet is associated with a specific channel of upstream and downstream data. Header and control information in each packet is used to govern the processing of each packet as it moves along either the transmit path or receive path. The DSP of the current invention may advantageously be utilized in fields other than communications, such as: medical and other imaging, seismic analysis, radar and other military applications, pattern recognition, signal processing etc. The present invention provides a signal processing architecture that supports scalability of CO/DLC/ONU resources, and allows a significantly more flexible hardware response to the evolving X-DSL standards without over committing of hardware resources. As standards evolve hardware may be reconfigured to support the new standards.
