    Abstract: Methods and systems for crest factor reduction may comprise generating an original waveform, generating a distortion signal by reducing a crest factor of the original waveform, generating an error signal by subtracting out the original waveform from the distortion signal, generating a conditioned waveform by adding the error signal to the original waveform, and amplifying the conditioned waveform. The crest factor of the original waveform may be reduced based on spectral mask requirements. The crest factor of the original waveform may be reduced using a limiter. The power amplifier may comprise a programmable gain amplifier (PGA). The distortion signal may be generated based on a PGA model and/or a predistortion model. A signal from an output of the PA may be fed back to the PGA model. The PGA model may be dynamically configured. The crest factor of the original waveform may be reduced in an analog domain and/or a digital domain. The error signal may be filtered utilizing a distortion shaping filter.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for cross-protocol time synchronization may comprise, for example, in a premises-based network, receiving, by a network controller in the premises, signals that conform to a first communications protocol. The received signals may be bridged to conform to a second communications protocol different from the first communications protocol, and the bridged signals may be communicated to networked devices within the network, where only signals conforming to the second communications protocol may be concurrently communicated over the network in a frequency range of the first communications protocol and in a frequency range of the second communications protocol, the frequency range used by the first communications protocol not overlapping with the frequency range used by the second communications protocol. The first communications protocol signals may comprise data over cable service interface specification (DOCSIS) signals, cable, and/or or satellite television signals.

    Abstract: A cable modem termination system (CMTS) may communicate with a plurality of cable modems using a plurality of orthogonal frequency division multiplexed (OFDM) subcarriers. The CMTS may determine a performance metric of each of the cable modems. For each of the OFDM subcarriers and each of the cable modems, the CMTS may select physical layer parameters to be used for communication with that cable modem on that OFDM subcarrier based on a performance metric of that cable modem. The parameters may be selected for each individual modem and/or each individual subcarrier, or may be selected for groups of modems and/or groups of subcarriers. The parameters may include, for example, one or more of: transmit power, receive sensitivity, timeslot duration, modulation type, modulation order, forward error correction (FEC) type, and FEC code rate.
