Abstract :
We focus on the effects of intercarrier interference (ICI) in digital subscriber line (DSL) systems due to asynchronous discrete multitone (DMT) transmission and its impact on dynamic spectrum management (DSM). ICI arises when the DMT blocks of interfering users in the network are not aligned in time and it may significantly impact the system performance. Our contribution is the derivation of a simple and accurate model for the effect of the ICI. We propose both an ICI model based on the particular delay between two users and an ICI model averaged over the delays between two users. Simulation results show that an accurate characterization of the ICI positively impacts the performance of DSM solutions.
