Abstract: A system, method, and apparatus to allow an operator of a broadcast communication system, such as a cable television or satellite television service to provide some examples, to diagnose performance of this communication system remotely. The operator of a first communication device, such as a cable modem termination system (CMTS) to provide an example, may remotely diagnosis performance problems, or potential performance problems, occurring at a second communication device, such as a cable modem (CM) to provide an example, or a group of second communication devices. For example, the operator of the first communication device may view a spectrum analysis of communication signals being routed to, processed by, and/or provided by the second communication device, or group of second communication devices, to diagnose the performance problems, or the potential performance problems, in real time.

Abstract: Spectrum analysis (SA) capability is included in various communication devices within a communication network. One or more of the devices use the SA information from other devices in the system to determine status of various communication links were devices in the system. One or more processors within one or more devices can identify any actual/existing or expected failure or degradation of the various components within the system. Such components may include communication devices, communication channels or links, interfaces, interconnections, etc. When an actual/existing or expected failure or degradation is identified, the affected components may be serviced or devices within the system may operate to mitigate any reduction in performance caused by such problems. Such SA functionality/capability may be implemented in one communication device or in a distributed manner across a number of devices in a communication system.

Abstract translation: 频谱分析（SA）能力包括在通信网络内的各种通信设备中。 一个或多个设备使用来自系统中其他设备的SA信息来确定系统中的设备的各种通信链路的状态。 一个或多个设备内的一个或多个处理器可以识别系统内各种组件的任何实际/现有或预期的故障或劣化。 这样的组件可以包括通信设备，通信信道或链路，接口，互连等。当识别出实际/现有或预期的故障或劣化时，受影响的组件可以被服务，或者系统内的设备可以操作以减轻性能的任何降低 造成这种问题。 这样的SA功能/能力可以在一个通信设备中或以分布式方式跨越通信系统中的多个设备来实现。
