Abstract
A method and apparatus for mapping a wire network is disclosed. The method includes obtaining a reflectometry test signal of the wire network. An estimated network impulse response is estimated from the reflectometry response. A wire network model is then initialized, and iteratively improved by simulating an impulse response of the wire network model and adjusting the wire network model to reduce differences between the simulated impulse response and estimated network impulse response.
