scope:

The present document presents the result of the work of the STF and suggests the methods and practices to reduce or mitigate the crosstalk between electricity and telephone cables. The present document also includes the results of a small measurement campaign in real housed aimed at confirming the results of the Plugtest and validating the mitigation methods.

The work was organised in three phases assigned to different STF members:

• Phase 1: Modelling the coupling channel between VDSL2 and PLT (clause 4).

• Phase 2: Simulations of signal processing algorithms for coexistence (clause 5).

• Phase 3: Implementation of the algorithms in PLT devices (clause 6); field measurements (clause 7) and laboratory validation (clause 8).
