    Abstract: Echo Cancellation (EC) training for a Full Duplex (FDX) amplifier may be provided. First, a Downstream (DS) signal at a fixed location on a subcarrier frequency may be received. Next, an Upstream (US) echo may be determined from the received DS signal at the fixed location on the subcarrier frequency. Determining the upstream echo may comprise subtracting a known value from the received DS signal at the fixed location on the subcarrier frequency. An Echo Cancelation (EC) coefficient may then be determined. Determining the EC coefficient may comprise dividing the determined US echo by a reference signal comprising an US signal. Next, EC may be performed. Performing EC may comprise subtracting the echo from the DS signal.

    Abstract: Echo cancellation to alleviate timing varying channels may be provided. First, a feedback signal corresponding to one of a plurality of downstream paths and a combination upstream signal comprising a combination of upstream signals from a plurality of upstream paths may be received. Next, a plurality of echo corrected signals may be created using the feedback signal, the combination upstream signal, and a plurality of echo cancelation coefficients that each respectively correspond to each one of the plurality of echo corrected signals and that are different from each other. Then a one of the plurality of echo cancelation coefficients that corresponds to a one of the plurality of echo corrected signals that provides a best echo cancelation performance as compared to other ones of the plurality of echo corrected signals may be selected to use.

    Abstract: Reduce echo level may be provided by scrambling phases of echoes from multiple ports in a Full Duplex (FDX) node. The FDX node may comprise a transmit portion, a receive portion, and a plurality of ports. The transmit portion may comprise a transmit portion transmit port and a plurality of splitters. The receive portion may comprise a receive portion receive port and a plurality of combiners. The plurality of splitters and the plurality of combiners may scramble phases of completed loops from the transmit portion transmit port to the receive portion receive port resulting from reflections from the plurality of ports.

    Abstract: Analog echo cancellation with Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) noise suppression may be provided. First, a test signal may be sent through an echo cancelation pathway during a downstream silence period and an upstream silence period. The echo cancelation pathway may comprise an electronic element. Next, a loopback response signal may be received in response to sending the test signal through the echo cancelation pathway. Then a channel response model may be created that characterizes a channel response of the loopback response signal and a non-linear model may be created that characterizes a non-linearity of the electronic element. Next, for a downstream signal, a non-linear component may be generated based on the created non-linear model. The generated non-linear component may be convolved with the created channel response model. The convolved non-linear component may then be subtracted from an upstream signal.

    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.
