Abstract: Echo cancellation to alleviate timing varying channels may be provided. First, a feedback signal corresponding to one of a plurality of downstream paths and a combination upstream signal comprising a combination of upstream signals from a plurality of upstream paths may be received. Next, a plurality of echo corrected signals may be created using the feedback signal, the combination upstream signal, and a plurality of echo cancelation coefficients that each respectively correspond to each one of the plurality of echo corrected signals and that are different from each other. Then a one of the plurality of echo cancelation coefficients that corresponds to a one of the plurality of echo corrected signals that provides a best echo cancelation performance as compared to other ones of the plurality of echo corrected signals may be selected to use.

Abstract: Detection of a device connected to a network element may be provided. First, upstream allocation data corresponding to the device may be received. Next, active minislot data detected at the network element may be received. It may then be determined that the upstream allocation data and the active minislot data correlate. In response to determining that the upstream allocation data and the active minislot data correlate, it may be determined that the device is attached to the network element.

Abstract: Analog echo cancellation with Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) noise suppression may be provided. First, a test signal may be sent through an echo cancellation pathway during a downstream silence period and an upstream silence period. The echo cancellation pathway may comprise an electronic element. Next, a loopback response signal may be received in response to sending the test signal through the echo cancellation pathway. Then a channel response model may be created that characterizes a channel response of the loopback response signal and a non-linear model may be created that characterizes a non-linearity of the electronic element. Next, for a downstream signal, a non-linear component may be generated based on the created non-linear model. The generated non-linear component may be convolved with the created channel response model. The convolved non-linear component may then be subtracted from an upstream signal.

Abstract: Digital pre-distortion may be provided. First, a radio frequency (RF) domain distortion correcting signal and a base band (BB) domain distortion correcting signal may be initialized. Then the RF domain distortion correcting signal may be generated from an input signal. The generated RF domain distortion correcting signal may correspond to an amplifier. Next, the BB domain distortion correcting signal may be generated from the input signal. The generated BB domain distortion correcting signal may correspond to the amplifier. Then the RF domain distortion correcting signal and the BB domain distortion correcting signal may be combined to form a hybrid distortion correcting signal. The hybrid distortion correcting signal may then be provided to input matching circuitry feeding the amplifier.

Abstract: One embodiment is a system including a data collector located in a cable network for capturing multi-tone signals traversing the cable network; a data repository located in a cloud network and having an interface for communicating with the data collector and for storing the multi-tone signals captured by the data collector and network data associated with the cable network; and a central server including a memory element storing Predictive Services Management (PSM) algorithms comprising instructions and associated data and a processor operable to execute the PSM algorithms. The central server is configured for detecting a fault in the cable network and identifying a segment associated with the fault; determining a maximum tap magnitude for the fault; calculating an aggregate tap magnitude for the fault; and classifying a severity of the fault based at least in part on the maximum tap magnitude and the aggregate tap magnitude.

Abstract: An example apparatus comprises a processor, a memory element, and a media access control (MAC) scheduler. The MAC scheduler is configured to implement a transmission-reception (T-R) coordination scheme among a plurality of cable modems in a cable network, wherein the cable modems are categorized into interference groups. The MAC scheduler is further configured to assign one or more of the interference groups to at least one transmission group based upon predetermined criteria; and determine an upstream bandwidth constraint and downstream bandwidth constraint for the at least one transmission group, wherein the upstream bandwidth constraint and downstream bandwidth constraint is implemented by proportionally modifying an allocated upstream bandwidth and an allocated downstream bandwidth for the at least one transmission group to require that the sum of the allocated upstream bandwidth and the allocated downstream bandwidth does not exceed a spectrum capacity for the at least one transmission group.
