Abstract

The discrete multitone (DMT) modulation is the transmission scheme of choice in ADSL. DMT works on the condition that the standardized length-32 cyclic prefix guard band is longer than the channel for the purpose of orthogonalizing the sub-bands. Time-domain equalizers (TEQ) have been designed for the DMT receiver to shorten the physical channel response. This paper expands on a proposed TEQ scheme by reformulating its optimization problem to avoid matrix decompositions or inversions, and by devising a numerically sound solution using the inverse power method. Simulation results show the reformulated solution to be near-optimal
