Abstract: Methods and systems for monitoring, reporting, and managing operational status and configuration of a smart amplifier which includes a radio frequency amplifier unit and transponder. A smart amplifier includes a radio frequency (RF) amplifier unit, a transponder including a transponder component integrated with a telemetry agent, and a controller. The RF amplifier unit configured to process a signal received via a cable access network. The transponder is configured to collect telemetry data from the received signal and stream the collected telemetry data to a service processing platform. The controller configured to remotely configure the RF amplifier unit based on information received from the service provider processing platform, the information based on the streamed telemetry data.

Abstract: Systems and methods of a smart and efficient agent integrated with an agile software architecture to collect and present telemetry data from a field deployed device. The collected telemetry data from the field deployed device is streamed to the service provider's streaming and analytics platform, where it is analyzed and presented to a hierarchical color-coded dashboard that is available to both the customer associated with the field deployed device, and the service provider's care agent associated with the field deployed device.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods related to on-boarding software applications on a platform used in a content delivery and/or service provider network. In one embodiment, a centralized platform such as a premises gateway is provided to act as an application portal or store for all consumer devices that connects to a service provider network. In one variant, a software architecture is provided for the gateway which includes at least one of an open-sourced OS (e.g., OpenWrt) and containerization engine (e.g., Docker) which enables a broader range of application compatibility with the gateway itself and end user devices within the premises by abstracting the services and functions above the specific hardware/firmware configurations of each of the end user devices.

Abstract: A remote node device including a hardware layer, a hardware abstraction layer, and a software stack operating on the hardware abstraction layer. The software stack including an open-source cloud-based operating system integrated with a service provider defined abstraction layer configured to coordinate functionality of the software stack, virtualized software components such as a virtualized Converged Cable Access Platform (vCCAP) implemented in docker containers where the vCCAP is configured to command and control the remote node device with respect to a customer premise equipment. The software layer of the remote node device includes different types of YANG data models for model-driven management and model-driven telemetry from the remote node device and a customer premise equipment to a service provider back-office system.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods related to software architectures in a multiprocessor-based access device used in a content delivery and/or service provider network. In one embodiment, a software architecture is provided for a cable modem using a first type of digital processor (e.g., RISC core or similar), and a second type of digital processor (e.g., multi-core CPU). In one variant, the RISC processor is used as a cable modem stack processor, and the CPU processor is used as an application processor. A Linux (e.g., OpenWrt)-based software architecture is used wherein software components placed on both processors can communicate to effectuate, e.g., configuration changes to the device (including the cable modem stack). A mechanism to establish communications between the two different processor domains and retrieve the requested information based on existing (e.g., RPC) protocols is also disclosed.

Abstract: A plurality of signal quality values that characterize signal qualities of the corresponding OFDM channel's subcarriers of a channel used by a first cable modem to communicate with an aggregation device are received. Due to in-band interference it is determined that a first subcarrier has a first signal quality value outside of a desirable signal quality threshold range for a pre-determined period of time. The aggregation device that provides data to the first cable modem is identified. To mitigate the interference impact, a signal analyzer sends an instruction to the aggregation device that identifies the first subcarrier and the first cable modem and that instructs the aggregation device to reduce a first transmission data rate used to transmit data on the first subcarrier.

Abstract: Methods and systems for configuring a main or security processor in a customer premises equipment (CPE) with an encrypted seed for password-of-the-day (PoTD) processing is described. A CPE includes a modem processor, a main processor, and a PoTD component included on the main processor. The main processor receives, via the modem processor from a user device, an access request to the CPE. In response to the access request, the PoTD component accesses an encrypted seed stored on the main processor, generates a PoTD from the encrypted seed, and provides an access response based on comparison of the generated PoTD with a PoTD provided via the user device. A security processor can be used in lieu of the main processor. The PoTD component is then included in the security processor and the encrypted seed is then stored on the security processor.

Abstract: Centralized profile-based operational monitoring and control of remote computing devices. A controller device receives, from a first customer-premises device (CPD) associated with a first local area network, at a first time a first temperature value that quantifies a temperature of the first CPD, the first CPD having a plurality of different energy consumption operating modes. The controller device, based on an attribute of the first CPD, accesses a first CPD profile of a plurality of different CPD profiles to determine a preferred CPD temperature range. The controller device determines that the first temperature value is outside of the preferred CPD temperature range, and sends an instruction that instructs the first
CPD to transition from a current energy consumption operating mode to a first reduced energy consumption operating mode based at least in part on the first temperature value.
