    Abstract: One embodiment provides an apparatus. The apparatus includes an optimization module configured to determine a guard interval remainder based, at least in part on a comparison of an allowable microreflection interference level and an actual microreflection interference level; and a windowing module configured to window an OFDM (orthogonal frequency division multiplexed) symbol utilizing the guard interval remainder. The apparatus may further include a channel estimator module configured to determine a predicted channel frequency response based, at least in part, on a probing symbol; and a pre-equalizer module configured to pre-equalize the OFDM symbol based, at least in part, on the predicted channel frequency response.

    Abstract: A system and method are provided for implementing a soft Reed-Solomon (RS) decoding scheme, technique or algorithm to improve physical layer performance in cable modems and cable gateways. The algorithm is implemented in a forward error correction (FEC) module connected to a QAM demodulator. The RS decoding scheme is implemented without significantly complicating hardware or processing overhead. The soft Reed-Solomon (RS) decoding scheme extracts candidate RS symbols and their Log Likelihood Ratios (LLRs) from QAM symbols. The set of highest probable candidate blocks are then chosen and these are decoded using a variant of the Chase algorithm until a valid codeword is detected at the decoder output.
