    Abstract: The communication method includes: sending, by a CMTS (cable modem terminals stem), a reference signal within a first time period by using a valid subcarrier in a first spectrum, where the first time period is a time period within which none of CMs (cable modems) connected to the CMTS sends a signal in the first spectrum; performing, by the CMTS based on an interfering signal received by the CMTS within the first time period, channel interference estimation on a channel that is used during signal reception of the CMTS and that occupies the first spectrum, where the interfering signal is a signal obtained after the reference signal passes through the channel; and canceling, by the CMTS based on a result of the channel interference estimation, interference from a first signal received by the CMTS to a second signal received by the CMTS.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides example channel parameter estimation methods and related apparatuses. In one example method, a cable modem (CM) obtains a second data frame through a downlink channel between the CM and a cable modem termination system (CMTS). The second data frame is generated after a first data frame sent by the CMTS is modulated through the downlink channel, a zero-bit-loaded symbol of the first data frame includes no valid codeword, but includes a zero-bit-loaded NCP and an idle codeword identified by the zero-bit-loaded NCP, and the idle codeword includes a data sequence used for channel parameter estimation. The CM can estimate a channel parameter of the downlink channel based on a data sequence in an obtained zero-bit-loaded symbol of the second data frame and the data sequence in the zero-bit-loaded symbol of the first data frame.

    Abstract: Provided are a method and an apparatus for canceling interference, to resolve a problem that performance of interference cancellation is poor because accuracy of equalizer coefficients obtained by a CMTS through calculation is not sufficiently high. A specific solution is as follows: (101) A CMTS calculates L equalizer coefficients of an L-tap filter according to a preamble sequence by using an adaptive algorithm, and performs adaptive equalization on a received signal by using the L equalizer coefficients, where L is a positive integer greater than 24; and (102) the CMTS selects K equalizer coefficients from the L equalizer coefficients, and sends a ranging response message carrying the K equalizer coefficients to a cable modem CM, so that the CM performs pre-equalization on a to-be-sent signal according to the received K equalizer coefficients, where K is a positive integer less than or equal to L.
