    Abstract: An example communication system comprises a media access control (MAC) scheduler in a cable network, and a full band transceiver. The MAC scheduler implements a two-dimensional transmission-reception (T-R) coordination scheme among a plurality of cable modems in the cable network. According to the T-R coordination scheme, the cable modems are categorized into interference groups, such that no cable modem of any one interference group transmits upstream in a frequency range simultaneously as another cable modem in the same interference group receives downstream in the frequency range, facilitating full duplex communication in the cable network across the frequency range. The full band transceiver implements an adaptive interference cancellation scheme, which suppresses at a receiver of the respective component, a signal transmitted by a transmitter of the respective component. The communication system further includes a full band amplifier, implementing the adaptive interference cancellation scheme and a ringing suppression scheme with echo cancellation.

    Abstract: Presented herein are techniques for enhancing pre-equalization operations in a telecommunications network. In one example, a cable modem termination system (CMTS) determines the coherent bandwidth for pre-equalization coefficients associated with upstream transmissions received from a cable modem. The CMTS uses the coherent bandwidth of the pre-equalization coefficients to calculate a time constant for a time domain filter that may be applied to the pre-equalization coefficients. The CMTS also calculates, based on the time constant, filter coefficients for the time domain filter and applies the time domain filter to the pre-equalization coefficients to generate signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)-enhanced pre-equalization coefficients. The CMTS then sends the SNR-enhanced pre-equalization coefficients to the cable modem.

    Abstract: Presented herein are non-disruptive noise estimation techniques that utilize a correlation between attributes of a received signal and the noise to generate estimated noise values for symbols of the signal. More specifically, a digital signal comprising symbols transmitted over a telecommunications network is received. For each of a plurality of the symbols, an estimated noise value associated with the respective symbol is generated through a correlation of a log-likelihood ratio (LLR) value to predetermined noise values. The estimated noise values for the plurality of symbols are used to generate noise information representing time and frequency characteristics of noise in the telecommunications network.

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.
