    Abstract: Predictive scheduling may be provided. First, a first device may identify when a service flow is expected to become active. The first device may estimate an initial traffic profile in response to identifying when the service flow is expected to become active. The first device may then grant allocation based on the initial traffic profile of the service flow. Next, the first device may collect feedback to later update the traffic profile estimate. The first device may then update the traffic profile estimate.

    Abstract: Ringing suppression may be provided. First, a first ringing suppressor in a first branch of an amplifier may cancel interference from a second branch of the amplifier using a transmitted signal from the second branch as a reference. The first ringing suppressor may also cancel echo interference from the first branch of the amplifier using an output of the first ringing suppressor in the first branch as a reference. Furthermore, a second ringing suppressor in the second branch of the amplifier may cancel interference from the first branch of the amplifier using a transmitted signal from the first branch as a reference. Furthermore, the second ringing suppressor may cancel echo interference from the second branch of the amplifier using an output of the second ringing suppressor in the second branch as a reference.

    Abstract: An example system and method for facilitating virtual cable modem termination system (VCMTS) migration in cable modem network environments is provided and includes spawning, by an orchestration component executing using a processor, a first instance of a virtual network function (VNF) on a first server in a cable modem network, storing state of the first instance as state information in an external database, spawning a second instance of the VNF on a different second server, synchronizing state of the second instance with the state information stored in the external database, and deleting the first instance. In specific embodiments, the VNF comprises a VCMTS.

    Abstract: A method is provided in one example and includes receiving a data signal, receiving an interference signal, wherein the interference signal is copied to create a reference data interference signal, combining the data signal and the interference signal to create a combined signal, using an analog echo cancellation engine on the combined signal to create an analog echo cancellation signal, and using a digital echo cancellation engine on the analog echo cancellation signal to create a data with echo cancellation signal. The data with echo cancellation signal can be communicated using a coaxial cable.

    Abstract: An example apparatus comprises a processor, a memory element, and a media access control (MAC) scheduler. The MAC scheduler is configured to implement a transmission-reception (T-R) coordination scheme among a plurality of cable modems in a cable network, wherein the cable modems are categorized into interference groups. The MAC scheduler is further configured to assign one or more of the interference groups to at least one transmission group based upon predetermined criteria; and determine an upstream bandwidth constraint and downstream bandwidth constraint for the at least one transmission group, wherein the upstream bandwidth constraint and downstream bandwidth constraint is implemented by proportionally modifying an allocated upstream bandwidth and an allocated downstream bandwidth for the at least one transmission group to require that the sum of the allocated upstream bandwidth and the allocated downstream bandwidth does not exceed a spectrum capacity for the at least one transmission group.

    Abstract: An example method for interference suppression in full duplex cable network environments is provided and includes providing a baseband (BB) reference signal on a first pathway to a signal processor, converting the BB reference signal to a first radio frequency (RF) signal, transmitting the first RF signal on the first pathway, the first RF signal being reflected back on a second pathway, receiving a second RF signal on the second pathway, the second RF signal including interferences from the reflections, generating an RF reference signal based on signals on the first pathway, providing the RF reference signal to the signal processor, providing the second RF signal to the signal processor, and reducing, by the signal processor, interferences in the second RF signal from reflections of the first RF signal based on the BB reference signal and the RF reference signal.

    Abstract: An access point that supports downstream and upstream communication from and to a Modular Cable Modem Termination System (M-CMTS) core to and from customer premises equipment (CPE), respectively, implements an Upstream External PHY Interface (UEPI) protocol with the M-CMTS core for control of the upstream communication. The access point receives from the M-CMTS core first UEPI control messages comprising information to configure one or more pathways with the access point for data plane upstream communication and control plane communication. The access point transmits to the M-CMTS core second UEPI control messages including a spectrum management message to manage upstream spectrum between the access point and the M-CMTS core, and a range request message to request ranging information so that the CPE can transmit upstream packets within an upstream timeslot, wherein at least one second UEPI control message is forwarded from the (CPE).
