Partial crosstalk cancellation has been proposed to reduce the online complexity of crosstalk canceller in xDSL systems. However, it must have a very low pre-processing complexity to allow working efficiently in time-varying crosstalk environment. Also, much lower online complexity can be achieved by joint solution of the multi-user power control and partial crosstalk cancellation problems. Currently, this joint problem is formulated as a constrained weighted sum rate maximization problem and solved by employing Lagrange dual decomposition method. However, it suffers from applying per-tone exhaustive search method for its solution because of non-convexity of the problem. In this paper, the joint problem is reformulated as a mixed binary-convex problem by successive convex relaxation technique which can be solved by the efficient fixed point iteration method. The analytical and simulation results show that the proposed approach provides a solution with extremely low pre-processing computational complexity and quite close to the optimal solution.
