An algorithm for improved stability of DSL networks using spectrum balancing

The proper management of the signal to noise ratio margin is important for improving the stability of digital subscriber line (DSL) networks and increasing the customer satisfaction regarding services such as triple-play. This work presents a novel algorithm for multiuser margin optimization that benefits from the relationships between power and margin adaptation. The proposed multiuser margin max
