Abstract

In one embodiment the method includes assigning a common frequency range over which first sets of carriers are configured for communication over respective ones of a plurality of subscriber lines. The plurality of subscriber lines are dispatched between a plurality of autonomous vectoring processors configured to mitigate crosstalk between subscriber lines coupled thereto, thereby organizing the plurality of subscriber lines into a plurality of distinct vectoring groups. The method includes assigning a plurality of additional disjoint frequency ranges to respective ones of the plurality of vectoring groups over which second sets of carriers are configured for enhanced communication over respective ones of the plurality of subscriber lines. The second sets of carriers are configured over the respective disjoint frequency ranges assigned to the respective vectoring groups which the respective subscriber lines belong to.
