    Abstract: A coupling device for use in a hybrid fiber coaxial (HFC) network may be configured to disable an upstream path through it when there is only noise incident on the upstream path, and enable the upstream path through it when a desired transmission from a cable modem downstream of the coupling device is incident on the upstream path. The coupling device may be a trunk amplifier, a distribution amplifier, a splitter, or the like. The coupling device may comprise a single upstream interface coupled to a plurality of downstream interfaces. The enabling and/or disabling may be in response to a signal strength indicated by the SSI being below a threshold and/or in response to one or more control messages indicating whether any downstream cable modem is, or will be, transmitting.

    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for using frequency spreading during communications, in particular communications in which multiple carriers (or subcarriers) are used. The frequency spreading may comprise generating a plurality of spreading data vectors based on transmit data, such as by application of a spreading matrix to portions of the transmit data. Each spreading data vector may comprise a plurality of elements, for assignment to the multiple subcarriers. The receive-side device may then apply frequency de-spreading, to obtain the original transmit data. The frequency de-spreading may comprise use of the same spreading matrix on data extracted from received signals, which (the data) may correspond to the plurality of spreading data vectors.

    Abstract: A network device may comprise one or more circuits including a clock signal generator, an ADC, and a processor. The ADC may digitize a received signal across a range of frequencies that encompasses a first band of frequencies used for a first network and a second band of frequencies used for a second network. A sampling frequency of the ADC may be determined by a frequency of a clock signal output by the clock signal generator. The processor may determine whether the first network is active and whether the second network is active. The processor may configure the clock generator such that, when both of the first network and the second network are active, the clock signal is set to a first frequency, and when the first network is active and the second network is inactive, the clock signal is set to a second frequency.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for detection and compensation of dielectric resonator oscillator frequency drift. DRO frequency drift detection and compensation may be applied in a system, such as an outdoor unit, during handling of received signals. The DRO frequency drift detection and compensation may include, for each input signal, obtaining DRO frequency drift related information, related to the input signal; determining, based on the obtained DRO frequency drift related information, one or more adjustments applicable to processing of the input signal and/or the generation of the output signal using the at least portion of the input signal; and applying the one or more adjustments. The DRO frequency drift detection and compensation may be applied continually, occasionally, and/or periodically.

The physical layer communication parameters may include one or more of: transmit power, receive sensitivity, timeslot duration, modulation type, modulation order, forward error correction (FEC) type, and FEC code rate. The CMTS and the modems may communicate using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) over a plurality of subcarriers, and the physical layer communication parameters may be determined on a per-subcarrier basis.
