Abstract

Loading and ordering techniques are provided for one-sided and two-sided vectored line groups, as well as loading methodologies that also can be used on a single line, in communication systems such as Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) binders. In particular, a method for loading bits into a plurality of lines in a vectored DSL system using Discrete MultiTone (DMT) modulation is disclosed. The method iteratively determines two or more of the following sequentially: line ordering for each tone; power spectral density for the transmitted signal of each line; and bit allocation for the signal of each line. In some embodiments, line ordering may include order-swapping which may assign a first line to a first initial position, assign a second line to a second initial position, move the first line to the second initial position, and move the second line to the first initial position.
