    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose a hybrid fiber coaxial (HFC) network fault locating method and apparatus. The method includes: obtaining a fault group in an HFC network; collecting a pre-equalization coefficient of at least one cable modem (CM); enabling a reference fault point that is corresponding to the fault group and whose location is known; collecting the pre-equalization coefficient of the at least one CM again; and determining a relative distance between each fault point in the fault group and the reference fault point according to the pre-equalization coefficient collected twice. In the present disclosure, not only each fault point in a fault group including a plurality of fault points can be located, but also a fault group including only a single fault point can be located.

    Abstract: A failure analysis method and device, where the method includes obtaining a frequency domain response amplitude of a channel from a hybrid fiber-coaxial (HFC) network, performing linear fitting on an effective portion of the frequency domain response amplitude to determine a channel slope value, and performing channel failure analysis according to the channel slope value. Failure analysis is performed according to the obtained channel slope value, and the channel slope value is a new failure analysis parameter. In this way, means of channel failure analysis increase, and channel failure analysis is more accurate.

    Abstract: The communication method includes: sending, by a CMTS (cable modem terminals stem), a reference signal within a first time period by using a valid subcarrier in a first spectrum, where the first time period is a time period within which none of CMs (cable modems) connected to the CMTS sends a signal in the first spectrum; performing, by the CMTS based on an interfering signal received by the CMTS within the first time period, channel interference estimation on a channel that is used during signal reception of the CMTS and that occupies the first spectrum, where the interfering signal is a signal obtained after the reference signal passes through the channel; and canceling, by the CMTS based on a result of the channel interference estimation, interference from a first signal received by the CMTS to a second signal received by the CMTS.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides example channel parameter estimation methods and related apparatuses. In one example method, a cable modem (CM) obtains a second data frame through a downlink channel between the CM and a cable modem termination system (CMTS). The second data frame is generated after a first data frame sent by the CMTS is modulated through the downlink channel, a zero-bit-loaded symbol of the first data frame includes no valid codeword, but includes a zero-bit-loaded NCP and an idle codeword identified by the zero-bit-loaded NCP, and the idle codeword includes a data sequence used for channel parameter estimation. The CM can estimate a channel parameter of the downlink channel based on a data sequence in an obtained zero-bit-loaded symbol of the second data frame and the data sequence in the zero-bit-loaded symbol of the first data frame.
