Inverse multiplexing to control data transfer

Limited upgradeability of xDSL lines has been widely regarded to be a serious drawback of DSL technology. The invention however presents a cost-efficient way to further enhance transmission capacity over DSL networks. By creating individually accessible virtual high speed internet access the upgradeability issue is addressed. This is achieved by virtually bundling several neighboring xDSL lines by interconnecting the individual subscribers by means of a meshed (radio) network and inverse multiplexing up- and downstream traffic generated by the individual subscribers.

Applications

Because of the flexibility these systems and methods offer, they would be extremely useful to any company involved in managing network traffic or manufacturing network equipment.

Technical Summart

Inverse multiplexing of the individual data streams is performed through an algorithm embedded in a (distributed) software module in the local interconnection network. A reciprocal algorithm in the cloud recombines the split data streams into the original data stream generated by the individual subscriber. With downstream data a similar process is performed.
