Patent 7187712 was granted and assigned to Texas Instruments on March, 2007 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
An efficient framing scheme is described for the transmission of frame overhead data in next generation ADSL modems. As a result of this new framing scheme, the available data rate for the transmission of payload data increases. High payload data rates and consequently wider reach of the ADSL modem are the most important performance requirements and customer care-abouts for ADSL modems. This application explains the new framing scheme in detail and provides examples for the computation of the framing parameters.
