Abstract: A method for transmitting a digital frame by an optical network unit in a digital communications network includes steps of arranging received data into a series of symbols, installing a primary cyclic prefix immediately preceding the series of symbols in time, and inserting individual ones of a plurality of secondary cyclic prefixes between each adjacent pair of symbols in the series of symbols. A length of each secondary cyclic prefix corresponds to a first duration shorter than an amount of time needed to turn on a laser of the optical network unit. The method further includes a step of providing to the optical network unit the digital frame. The digital frame includes the primary cyclic prefix, the plurality of secondary cyclic prefixes, and the series of symbols. The method further includes a step of modulating the provided digital frame by a laser of the optical network unit.

Abstract: An amplification subsystem for a communication system includes a downstream amplifier configured to transmit a downstream signal within a first frequency range, an upstream amplifier configured to transmit an upstream signal within a second frequency range, and a bidirectional amplifier configured to selectively transmit a mid-band signal in either of the upstream and downstream direction.

Abstract: A system for detecting a failure along a transmission line of a cable plant is provided. The system includes a mobile vehicle configured to travel along a pathway substantially proximate to the cable plant along a span of the transmission line, and a transmitter disposed with the mobile vehicle. The transmitter is configured to emit (i) a test signal capable of ingressing the transmission line at a location of the failure, and (ii) an information signal containing location and velocity data of the mobile vehicle. The test signal is configured to provide phase shift and Doppler frequency information to a receiver operably connected to the transmission line at a location upstream from the location of the failure.

Abstract: Mitigating noise in a network is contemplated, such as but not necessarily limited to mitigating noise through a detection process whereby noise deviations resulting from selectively controlling smart taps, switches or other devices to block signaling in the network may be used to locate sources of noise.

Abstract: Mitigation of satellite interference is contemplated. The mitigation may include processing satellite transmissions to remove interferences based on an amount of signal overlap, such as to facilitate mitigating interferences resulting from satellite spacing and/or ground antenna dish size.

Abstract: Scheduling of transmission opportunities to prevent collisions is contemplated. The transmission opportunities may be scheduled for terminal units where transmissions of one terminal unit may collide or otherwise interfere with transmissions of another terminal unit. The transmission opportunities may be scheduled according to a time-frequency grid to prevent collisions in a time domain and/or a frequency domain.
