Abstract
High-speed digital transmission is achieved with existing phone lines and HDSL chipsets while retaining plain old telephone service (POTS) with full failsafe capability. One original digital data signal (4) at a rate of at least 352 kbps and one POTS channel (10) digitized at 64 kbps are multiplexed by a HPCS card (6) of a signal provider (1). The resulting digital signal is transported over a twisted cable pair (2) which is approximately 16 kft based on the current technology. At a receiving end, the signal is demultiplexed and regenerated by a subscriber's HPCS card (7). The subscriber's HPCS card is line-powered via the cable (2) to avoid dependence upon local power. The regenerated signals are transmitted over one POTS line (42) and one data line (8) to or within a remote premise. Both HPCS cards have bypass relays for the POTS line to ensure the subscriber's POTS access in the event of a local power outage or electronic failure.
Description
WO 98I20669 ~ ~ PCTIUS97/20111 I~SL and POTS Carrier System FIELD OF TIU; INVENTION
so The field of the invention relates generally to high speed digital communication. More particularly, the field of the invention relates to transportation of one high speed digital signal and one POTS signal over one twisted cable pair from a front end and regeneration of th~~ digital and POTS signals at a remote end.
BACKGROUND OF T~ INVENTION
The recent growth of the Ini~ernet has created both a tremendous demand for additional subscriber access to public 2o switched telephone networks (PSTN) and a demand for additional bandwidth for the access. The former demand is being met by deploying additional analog access lines so that modems can be used for the Internet access, anal the latter demand is being met by deploying integrated service digital network (ISDN) lines. ISDN is the principal technology for placing a digital signal onto a copper pair that originally provides only analog dial tone, and it was developed in the 1980's, when state-of-the-art digital encoding technology resulted in the standards as described in Bellcore documents TR-TSY-000393 and TR-TSY-000397. The basic transmission rate, called BRI for ISDN is 160 kilobits per second (kbps). This digital rate and its corresponding communication method are called digital subscriber line (DSL).
In the case of modems, although the Internet access is provided) insufficient bandwidth limits the graphic service to still images which take seconds o:r minutes to download; while, i in the latter case of ISDN, a subscriber's main standard plain old telephone service (POTS) line is not .converted to ISDN in order to maintain the subscriber's POTS access in the event of a local power outage or electronic system failure because the ISDN service is dependent upon the residence power and proper function of the ISDN electronics; therefore, additional copper cable pairs need to be installed. In addition, the ISDN
transmission with BRI only modestly increases the download speed of still images in comparison of modems. They can not 1o provide the full graphic-rich service besides "jerky videos;"
therefore, a transmission speed higher than BRI is desired.
In both cases, the installation of an additional copper-pair based access line is not financially viable for the telephone companies due to the long depreciation schedule for these cables. It is generally recognized that a higher-bandwidth media, such as fiber optic cable, is the ultimate solution for the digital access though the fiber connectivity precludes the lifeline access in the event of local power failures. While 2o the technical and financial issues related to fiber installation are being worked out, installing copper cables only consumes capital and delays the day for fiberization.
One approach to avoid installing the additional copper pair 25~ cables is to more efficiently utilize existing phone lines for high-speed digital transmissions. The phone lines are made of twisted copper pairs and are configured in a star-like architecture that is suitable for bi-directional communications. The existing copper cable outside plant was 30 constructed in accordance with design rules specifying that for local loops exceeding 13 kilo-ohms (kS2), or approximately 18 kilo-feet (kft) which is equivalent to 5,486 meters, loading coils or filter capacitors are added to remove voice frequencies shifted above 4 kilo-Hz (kHz) due to the loop 35 resistance. The REA loop survey of 1986 indicates that for the US as a whole, approximately 15~ of all loops are loaded.
Since ISDN uses a digital signal operating at a center t.. .:..._f..._.~~.._._..... ._. ~_..___.... .T_ WO 98I20669 . ~ PCT/pS97%20111 frequency of 40 kHz, it will not transmit in the presence of a load coil or capacitor. Bridged taps or branches attached to a primary cable run further reduce the reach of an ISDN signal over existing copper cables, with the net result being that approximately 70~ of a11 existing subscribers can have ISDN
service added without additional construction expenses, as reported by Pacific Bell in early 1996. But the question remains how the existing cables can be used to carry both a POTS signal and an ISDN signal with a transmission rate faster 1o than BRI.
Since 1990, the performance of communication chipsets has significantly improved due to the development of microprocessors. High-bit-rare subscriber line (HDSL) chipsets can run at 784 kbps or :l Mbps to transport one half of a T1/E1 digital loop carrier signal in an application called "Repeaterless T1/E1." Other types of high speed communication technologies fo:r twisted pairs, such as asymmetric DSL (ADSL), are emerging from labs but are still too expensive for wide range applications.
HDSL technology, when reduced to a lower transmission speed than that in the TI application, can be applied to transport one high speed digital signal and one POTS signal over the 25~ existing phone lines through multiplexing and demultiplexing, which can provide about 70~ phone subscribers in the US for high speed Internet access while maintaining their old phone services without adding new twisted copper pairs or incurring any new expenses. This approach of multiplexing and 3o demultiplexing was explored by several inventors in the past.

SUbFIARY OF T~ INVENTION
These and other objects and advantages are attained by connecting a signal provider to a signal subscriber through a twisted cable pair. The maximum length of the cable is approximately 16 kft depending upon the wire gauge, which offers roughly 1.2 kS2 loop resistance, from the signal provider to the signal subscriber, back to the signal provider. The signal provider comprises one HPCS card powered by a 48-Volt power supply. The HPCS card multiplexes one POTS
channel and one digital channel at a transmission rate of 352 kbps or higher and then sends the resulted signal to the twisted cable pair. The components of the HPCS card comprise a transceiver, a digital interface module, a subscriber line interface (SLI) module, a bypass relay, and a utility microprocessor. The transceiver uses a 2B1Q transport 2o mechanism and operates at a minimum rate of 416 kbps. The digital interface module connects to a high speed digital card for PSTN, Frame Relay, or Internet, such as a Class 5 switch or an Internet router or server. The bypass relay ensures the subscriber's POTS access in the event of an electronic 25~ failure. The utility microprocessor performs loopback testing in accordance with the National ISDN Standards.
The signal subscriber comprises a HPCS card, one POTS line, and one high speed data cable. The HPCS card connects the 3o twisted cable pair to the high speed data cable and POTS line and is powered via the twisted cable pair. The components of the HPCS card contain a transceiver, a digital interface _ module, a SLI module, a bypass relay, and a utility microprocessor which are characterized by the same structure 35 as those of the HPCS card of the: signal provider. The high speed digital signal is provided to the subscriber at the remote premise in the form of an Ethernet, multiple ISDN BRI, i i WO 98/20669 . ~ PCT/US9'7l20111 or other standard high speed digital connection. The transmission rate of the high speed data line is at least 352 kbps. The SLI module supports a POTS loop with a normal resistance of 560 Ohms and provides five ringer equivalents.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
A schematic diagram of an aspect of the invention is shown in Fig. 1. A signal provider 1 comprises a HPCS card 6 which connects a high speed digital card 4 and a POTS card 10 to a 2o first end of a twisted cable pair 2. The HPCS card 6 is plugged into an equipment shelf, constituting a signal provider terminal. Through the high speed digital card 4, a digital signal of a minimum speed of 352 kbps and typically of 384 kbps is provided by either a switched or non-switched network. The digital and POTS signals are then multiplexed by the HPCS card 6, and the multiplexed signal is sent to a signal subscriber 3 over the twisted cable pair 2. The HPCS
card 6 is powered by a 48-Volt power supply 31. Since the digital signal has a rate of at least 352 kbps and a digitized POTS channel occupies 64 kbps, the twisted cable pair 2 is required to provide a minimum speed of 416 kbps. The maximum length of the cable is limited by either the HPCS system's ability to transmit the powering voltage, or the signal processing ability of the digital encoding chip. For example, the BROOKTREE 8960 chip has an advertised reach of 16.5 kft.
Both of these limitations are due to a combination of loop resistance, loop capacitance, and other signal attenuation and s _. ...._ ... .. _ _..._ ___.,..._. _. .T ......
WO 98I20669 . ~ PCT/US9'7120111 degrading influences. The reach of a digital system may be increased by removing bridged taps, or by renewing cable splices, or by replacing cables having water intrusion, so the system reach is not only variable but also controllable to some extent, depending on the value of providing the digital service to the customer. In summary, one practical limit of the reach of the system is the loop resistance which governs powering as well as signal. Given the state of the art in digital encoding, as exemplified by the BROOKTREE 8960 chip) 1.2 kS2 is roughly a practical limit, and this corresponds to approximately l6.5 kft on mixed :26 and 24 gauge cable plant.
It is anticipated that the practical reach of the HPCS system may increase as improvements are made in subsequently available digital encoding chips which replace the BROOKTREE
8960. Similarly, if the loop is comprised of 24 AWG wire, the reach would exceed 20 kft.
The signal subscriber 3 contains a HPCS card 7, one POTS line 42, and one data cable 8. The HPCS card 7 is powered via the twisted cable pair 2. The amount= of power which needs to be transmitted does not exceed 80 Volts on either wire in accordance with the U.S. safety :standards. Internationally, the safety requirement for line-powering voltage varies and can go as low as 50 Volts on each wire. The digital signal transported over the twisted cable pair is demultiplexed and regenerated into one digital signal of at least 352 kbps and one POTS channel. The regenerated digital signal has the same signal quality and distance capability as the original one, and it is transmitted to or within a remote premise over the data cable 8. The POTS signal is sent to or within the remote premise over the POTS line 42. -Each of the HPCS cards 6 and 7 comprises a digital data interface module 10, a utility microprocessor 11, a transceiver 12, a SLI module 44, and a frame processor 33, as shown in Fig. 2. The digital data interface module 10 uses an Ethernet interface such as National DP8392, a PCI interface or WO 98/20669 . ' PCTIUS97120111 other high speed data interfaces. The utility microprocessor 11 such as Motorola M68HC05 family provides loopback testing in accordance with the National ISDN Standards. The transceiver 12 uses a 2B1Q transport mechanism and operates at a speed of at least 416 kbps. One of such transceivers is Bt8960 DSL Transceiver by BROOKTREE Corporation with a transmission rate of 416 kbps in full duplex mode. The SLI
module 44 in the HPCS card for the signal provider emulates a telephone set for signaling purposes and converts the analog POTS channel to a digital signal which is fed to the frame processor; while the SLI module for the signal subscriber converts the digitized POTS signal to analog and provides a11 standard functionality, such as ringing, off-hook detection, caller identification tones, and other features. The bypass relay 46 ensures the subscriber's POTS access in the event of a electronic failure or local power outage.
A first embodiment of the invention is an office-to-house system, as illustrated in Fig. 3. A HPCS card 7 is installed on a pole, on a house, or in a cabinet. A customer 18 has a high speed digital access and a POTS access. The POTS line is limited to a 560-Ohm loop including handset or about 2-kft-long on standard 24 AWG wire.
A second embodiment of the invention is a corporate-intranet system, as shown in Fig. 4. In this case, a corporate ISDN
user needs a high speed data access at a remote office 22 whose location is not permanently fixed or which is wired with only one twisted pair. The twisted cable pair 2, normally used for POTS, is temporarily or permanently converted by adding a HPCS card 6 in a business wiring closet 32 and a HPCS
card 7 in the remote office 22 to provide a data connection, in addition to the original POTS channel.
It will be clear to one skilled in the art that the above embodiments may be altered in many ways without departing from the scope of the invention. For example) more than one twisted s __.... _._...__~_._~..-._._..._.... .. T....._..__..~~.. . .......
WO 98/20669 . ' PCT/US9'7/20111 cable pair can be used to transport more than one data signal and more than one POTS channel. The system can be used to transport solely high speed data without carrying any POTS
channels. The transmission speed of the digital signal can be improved by utilizing higher speed HPCS cards. Accordingly, the scope of the invention should be determined by the following claims and their legal equivalents.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
A schematic diagram of an aspect of the invention is shown in Fig. 1. A signal provider 1 comprises a HPCS card 6 which connects a high speed digital card 4 and a POTS card 10 to a 2o first end of a twisted cable pair 2. The HPCS card 6 is plugged into an equipment shelf, constituting a signal provider terminal. Through the high speed digital card 4, a digital signal of a minimum speed of 352 kbps and typically of 384 kbps is provided by either a switched or non-switched network. The digital and POTS signals are then multiplexed by the HPCS card 6, and the multiplexed signal is sent to a signal subscriber 3 over the twisted cable pair 2. The HPCS
card 6 is powered by a 48-Volt power supply 31. Since the digital signal has a rate of at least 352 kbps and a digitized POTS channel occupies 64 kbps, the twisted cable pair 2 is required to provide a minimum speed of 416 kbps. The maximum length of the cable is limited by either the HPCS system's ability to transmit the powering voltage, or the signal processing ability of the digital encoding chip. For example, the BROOKTREE 8960 chip has an advertised reach of 16.5 kft.
Both of these limitations are due to a combination of loop resistance, loop capacitance, and other signal attenuation and s _. ...._ ... .. _ _..._ ___.,..._. _. .T ......
WO 98I20669 . ~ PCT/US9'7120111 degrading influences. The reach of a digital system may be increased by removing bridged taps, or by renewing cable splices, or by replacing cables having water intrusion, so the system reach is not only variable but also controllable to some extent, depending on the value of providing the digital service to the customer. In summary, one practical limit of the reach of the system is the loop resistance which governs powering as well as signal. Given the state of the art in digital encoding, as exemplified by the BROOKTREE 8960 chip) 1.2 kS2 is roughly a practical limit, and this corresponds to approximately l6.5 kft on mixed :26 and 24 gauge cable plant.
It is anticipated that the practical reach of the HPCS system may increase as improvements are made in subsequently available digital encoding chips which replace the BROOKTREE
8960. Similarly, if the loop is comprised of 24 AWG wire, the reach would exceed 20 kft.
The signal subscriber 3 contains a HPCS card 7, one POTS line 42, and one data cable 8. The HPCS card 7 is powered via the twisted cable pair 2. The amount= of power which needs to be transmitted does not exceed 80 Volts on either wire in accordance with the U.S. safety :standards. Internationally, the safety requirement for line-powering voltage varies and can go as low as 50 Volts on each wire. The digital signal transported over the twisted cable pair is demultiplexed and regenerated into one digital signal of at least 352 kbps and one POTS channel. The regenerated digital signal has the same signal quality and distance capability as the original one, and it is transmitted to or within a remote premise over the data cable 8. The POTS signal is sent to or within the remote premise over the POTS line 42. -Each of the HPCS cards 6 and 7 comprises a digital data interface module 10, a utility microprocessor 11, a transceiver 12, a SLI module 44, and a frame processor 33, as shown in Fig. 2. The digital data interface module 10 uses an Ethernet interface such as National DP8392, a PCI interface or WO 98/20669 . ' PCTIUS97120111 other high speed data interfaces. The utility microprocessor 11 such as Motorola M68HC05 family provides loopback testing in accordance with the National ISDN Standards. The transceiver 12 uses a 2B1Q transport mechanism and operates at a speed of at least 416 kbps. One of such transceivers is Bt8960 DSL Transceiver by BROOKTREE Corporation with a transmission rate of 416 kbps in full duplex mode. The SLI
module 44 in the HPCS card for the signal provider emulates a telephone set for signaling purposes and converts the analog POTS channel to a digital signal which is fed to the frame processor; while the SLI module for the signal subscriber converts the digitized POTS signal to analog and provides a11 standard functionality, such as ringing, off-hook detection, caller identification tones, and other features. The bypass relay 46 ensures the subscriber's POTS access in the event of a electronic failure or local power outage.
A first embodiment of the invention is an office-to-house system, as illustrated in Fig. 3. A HPCS card 7 is installed on a pole, on a house, or in a cabinet. A customer 18 has a high speed digital access and a POTS access. The POTS line is limited to a 560-Ohm loop including handset or about 2-kft-long on standard 24 AWG wire.
A second embodiment of the invention is a corporate-intranet system, as shown in Fig. 4. In this case, a corporate ISDN
user needs a high speed data access at a remote office 22 whose location is not permanently fixed or which is wired with only one twisted pair. The twisted cable pair 2, normally used for POTS, is temporarily or permanently converted by adding a HPCS card 6 in a business wiring closet 32 and a HPCS
card 7 in the remote office 22 to provide a data connection, in addition to the original POTS channel.
It will be clear to one skilled in the art that the above embodiments may be altered in many ways without departing from the scope of the invention. For example) more than one twisted s __.... _._...__~_._~..-._._..._.... .. T....._..__..~~.. . .......
WO 98/20669 . ' PCT/US9'7/20111 cable pair can be used to transport more than one data signal and more than one POTS channel. The system can be used to transport solely high speed data without carrying any POTS
channels. The transmission speed of the digital signal can be improved by utilizing higher speed HPCS cards. Accordingly, the scope of the invention should be determined by the following claims and their legal equivalents.
