    Abstract: An inter-carrier interference (ICI) mitigation circuit associated with an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) receiver is disclosed. The ICI mitigation circuit comprises an ICI cancellation circuit configured to receive an OFDM symbol associated with an OFDM signal and determine an ICI associated with one or more OFDM subcarriers within the OFDM symbol. The ICI cancellation circuit is further configured to cancel the ICI from the one or more OFDM subcarriers associated with the OFDM symbol, in order to generate a desired OFDM symbol. In some embodiments, the ICI is determined and cancelled at the ICI cancellation circuit, in accordance with a predetermined ICI mitigation algorithm.

    Abstract: An apparatus may include a processor circuit, and a dynamic filter adjustment component for execution on the processor. The dynamic filter adjustment component may identify in a wideband communications signal a set of one or more interferer frequencies for one or more respective interferer channels of a set of communications channels to be filtered, select a kernel filter comprising a low pass filter having a channel width corresponding to a channel of the one or more interferer channels, and generate a co-channel interference (CCI) filter to stop the one or more interferer channels by inverting the kernel filter. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    Abstract: Methods and systems to mitigate impulse interference in an OFDM QAM signal. A per-symbol noise measure, or quality measure (QM) is computed for a symbol k as a MSE of distances between carriers in the symbol and points of corresponding QAM constellations. MSE(k) is averaged over multiple symbols to compute a background signal QM, AVG_MSE(k). If MSE(k) exceeds AVG_MSE(k) by a moderate amount, symbol k may be moderately affected by impulse interference, and per-carrier SNR estimates are downgraded for all data carriers in symbol k, prior to LLR computation. SNR downgrading may be linear or step-wise based on an extent to which MSE(k) exceeds AVG_MSE(k). If MSE(k) exceeds AVG_MSE(k) by a significant amount, symbol k may be significantly affected by impulse interference, and LLRs may be set to indicate that all data carriers are erased in symbol k.

    Abstract: A head-end equipment associated with a communication system configured to interface with an interference group (IG) composed of two or more modems is disclosed. The head-end equipment comprises a memory configured to store a plurality of instructions; and one or more processors configured to retrieve the plurality of instructions from the memory. In some embodiments, the one or more processors, upon execution of the plurality of instructions from the memory, is configured to generate an advanced warning signal to be provided to one or more modems associated with the IG. In some embodiments, the advanced warning signal comprises an information that a select modem, different from the one or more modems, in the IG will be initiating an upstream communication in a select frequency band, as well as information on a start time and a duration of the upstream communication.

    Abstract: Mixed mode constellation mapping to map a data block to a block of sub-carriers based on a configurable set of one or more constellation mapping schemes, and corresponding mixed mode least likelihood ratio (LLR) de-mapping based on the configurable set of one or more modulation schemes. The set may be configurable to include multiple modulation schemes to provide to a SEvSNR measure that is a non-weighted or weighted average of SEvSNR measures of the multiple modulation schemes. Mixed mode constellation mapping may be useful be configurable to control spectral efficiency versus SNR (SEvSNR) over a range of SNR with relatively fine SNR granularity, and may be configurable to control SEvSNR over a range of SNR at a fixed FEC code rate, which may include a highest available or highest permitted code rate.

    Abstract: Symbols are received on a downstream channel. A value of a channel synchronization parameter is determined based on the received symbols. An interference event on the downstream channel is detected. In response to detecting the interference event: an output signal is determined based on at least one cached value of the channel synchronization parameter, the at least one cached value being determined based on symbols received prior to and offset from said detecting of the interference event.
