Synchronizing clocks across a Remote PHY network without use of the Precision Time Protocol (PTP). The clock used by the CCAP core may be referred to herein as a slave clock, while the clock used by each RPD may be referred to as a master clock. Time differences between each master clock and a slave clock in the Remote PHY network are tracked. Slave clocks at the core may, but need not, lock to a single RPD master clock. A CCAP core tracks differences in clock values between a singular CCAP core clock and one or more RPD clocks using clock values identified by received DEPI Latency Measurement (DLM) packets and not using Precision Time Protocol (PTP) protocol. The CCAP core determines a particular RPD clock value to use in sending a map message to a particular RPD. The CCAP core then sends a map message to the particular RPD over the network based on the determined particular RPD clock value.

Dynamically adjusting how a frequency spectrum is allocated between upstream and downstream communications on an access network. A device receives, over the access network from an upstream direction, an instruction to dynamically adopt a new active spectrum configuration from a set of preestablished spectrum configurations. Each of the preestablished spectrum configurations allocates the available frequency spectrum differently between upstream traffic and downstream traffic. The device processes the instruction by selecting one or more switchable diplexers or other frequency filters to adopt the new spectrum configuration. Upon adopting the new spectrum configuration, the device ceases to use a prior spectrum configuration and thereafter uses the frequency spectrum in accordance with the new active spectrum configuration.

Aeronautical band leakage assessment in high split HFC plant
Propagating a leakage test signal at a frequency receivable by traditional leakage test systems while supporting enhanced upstream peak data rates. At an input of an amplifier of a device, a portion of the leakage test signal is tapped to create a tapped signal, which comprises both the leakage test signal and all other downstream signals and channels sent from a head-end to a set of customer premises equipment (CPE) via the device. The tapped signal is introduced to a filter that passes the leakage test signal and attenuates all other radio frequency (RF) signals to create a filtered leakage test signal. The filtered leakage test signal is amplified and coupled to a low-pass side of a high-split diplex filter to propagate onto a transmission medium coupled to the HFC plant receivable by a traditional leakage test system. The device may be a high-split RF amplifier or a high-split node.
Increasing an analog to digital converter (ADC) dynamic range for a communications device. In the communications device, a reference threshold is established for a peak to average power ratio (PAPR) improvement factor for RF signals received by the communications device. A digital to analog converter (DAC) adjustment factor is established for a DAC to account for inaccuracies of a pre-cancellation DAC and fine tuning of an analog gain of received RF signals. A peak amplitude separation element evaluates an absolute value of a portion of a particular RF signal against the reference threshold. Upon the peak amplitude separation element determining that the portion is smaller than the reference threshold, the element assigns a zero value to a DAC signal current sample; otherwise, the element assigns a quantized value of the sample to the DAC signal current sample, used in adjusting a post-cancellation signal sample.

Determining a bit rate at which to deliver a packet stream over a network link. An origin device transmits over the network link unsolicited data packets to a destination device while contemporaneously transmitting over the network link a first packet stream encoded at an initial bit rate to the destination device. The origin device may be, but need not be, a content delivery network (CDN) edge node and the destination device may be, but need not be, a cable modem (CM). The origin device determines whether the network link supports delivering a second packet stream in lieu of the first packet stream encoded at a higher bit rate based, at least in part, on an amount of retransmission requests the origin device receives for packets in the first packet stream from the destination device.

Exchanging encrypted packet payloads between a cable headend and a Remote MACPHY device. A single device executes a cable modem termination system (CTMS) implemented in software and not hardware. The software-implemented CMTS (i.e., a virtual CMTS) instantiates a tunnel to the Remote MACPHY device. The virtual CMTS encrypts the payloads of one or more packets and transmits those packets over the tunnel to the Remote MACPHY device. In similar fashion, the Remote MACPHY device may send packets with encrypted payloads to the virtual CMTS over the tunnel. In this way, encryption is not performed on a hop by hop basis, thereby allowing the payloads of packets to remain encrypted at all times during transmit through the tunnel.
Dynamically allocating virtual or physical CPU cycles for use in processing a video stream. Video complexity information for two or more digital video streams actively being processed by one or more video encoders is determined at periodic intervals. Video complexity information describes the complexity of digital video carried by the digital video streams across a bounded number of consecutive digital frames which includes digital frames not yet processed by the one or more video encoders. A determination is made as to whether a number of CPU cycles allocated for processing a particular digital video stream should be adjusted based on the determined video complexity information. The number of CPU cycles allocated for processing the particular digital video stream may be dynamically adjusted by changing an amount of CPU cycles allocated to a virtual machine in which the stream is processed or by processing the stream in a different virtual machine.

Adaptive high efficiency, low latency DOCSIS PGS scheduler
Determining when to provide a Proactive Grant Service (PGS) scheduling grant. A plurality of PGS grants are issued to a cable modem (CM). The PGS grants that were utilized by the CM are monitored as well as those PGS grants that were not utilized by the CM. A compromise PGS grants pattern for that CM is generated based on the observations of which PGS grants the CM utilized and which PGS grants the CM did not utilize. The compromise PGS grants pattern for that CM optimizes a projected experienced latency and jitter for particular data flows of the CM verses a projected wasted upstream capacity.

Assistance metadata for production of dynamic Over-The-Top (OTT) adjustable bit rate (ABR) representations using On-The-Fly (OTF) transcoding
Approaches for generating dynamic over-the-top (OTT) adjustable bit rate (ABR) representations of a video with a variable resolution and/or frame rate using on-the-fly (OTF) transcoding and assistance metadata. At an encoder located at a head-end, the encoder encodes a video stream at an initial bit rate and produces optimum representation (OpRep) metadata, which describes an optimum presentation for the video stream for each of a plurality of bit rates or the minimum bitrate below which a presentation becomes sub-optimal. The head-end transmits the encoded video stream and the OpRep metadata to a transcoder of a Content Delivery Network (CDN). The transcoder at the CDN uses the OpRep metadata to dynamically transcode the video stream in a preferred picture resolution and a preferred frame rate at a different bit rate than the initial bit rate using the OpRep metadata.

Increasing an analog to digital converter (ADC) dynamic range for a communications device. In the communications device, a reference threshold is established for a peak to average power ratio (PAPR) improvement factor for RF signals received by the communications device. A digital to analog converter (DAC) adjustment factor is established for a DAC to account for inaccuracies of a pre-cancellation DAC and fine tuning of an analog gain of received RF signals. A peak amplitude separation element, disposed within the communications device, evaluates an absolute value of a portion of a particular RF signal against the reference threshold. Upon the peak amplitude separation element determining that the portion is smaller than the reference threshold, the element assigns a zero value to a DAC signal current sample; otherwise, the element assigns a quantized value of the sample to the DAC signal current sample, used in adjusting a post-cancellation signal sample.
Propagating a downstream (DS) Out-of-Band (OOB) signal at a frequency receivable by a set of legacy set-top boxes (STBs) while supporting enhanced upstream peak data rates.

The tapped DS-OOB signal is introduced to a band-pass filter that passes the DS-OOB signal and attenuates all other radio frequency (RF) signals to create a filtered DS-OOB signal. The filtered DS-OOB signal is amplified and coupled to a low-pass side of a high-split diplex filter to propagate onto a transmission medium coupled to the CPE.

Recovering a hardware component, such as a Remote MACPHY node (RMN), a wireless base station, a CATV amplifier, a Wi-Fi hotspot, a microcell, or a PON switch, after a power interruption. A hardware component, upon detecting that input power to the R-PHY device will be imminently interrupted, provides an alarm signal to a central processing unit (CPU) in the R-PHY device. The CPU, in response to receiving the alarm, stores running parameter data for the R-PHY device in a non-volatile memory. The running parameter data is normally obtained through network communications during a boot operation of the R-PHY device. If certain conditions are satisfied, then the R-PHY device recovers from the interruption in input power using the stored running parameter data without obtaining the running parameter data through a normal boot operation, thus shortening the boot time.

IMPROVING RF POWER AMPLIFIER PERFORMANCE BY CLIPPING PREVENTION OF LARGE PAPR SIGNALS
Preventing RF signal distortion and signal error producing memory events in a Radio Frequency (RF) power amplifier (RFPA). An element, disposed prior to the Radio Frequency (RF) power amplifier (RFPA) in a signal path of a RF signal input to the RFPA, may enforce a maximum allowable amplitude in a high PAPR instantaneous high peak of the RF signal. An element may also increase or supplement a bias of the Radio Frequency (RF) power amplifier (RFPA) when a high PAPR instantaneous high peak is detected in the RF signal prior to receipt by the RFPA. Additionally, a first element operable detects when an instantaneous output voltage of the Radio Frequency (RF) power amplifier (RFPA) is below a predetermined voltage, and in response, a second element supplies additional current to prevent the output voltage of the RFPA from falling below a predetermined threshold voltage.
Increasing a dynamic range of a digital to analog converter (DAC). A signal analysis element is positioned prior to the DAC in a processing path. The element evaluates an instantaneous amplitude of a signal to be applied to the DAC. The DAC is capable of a first full scale value. An additional current source supports a second full scale value of the DAC, which is greater than the first full scale value. Upon the element determining that a condition is not satisfied, the element employs current steering to couple the additional current source to a current sink. However, upon the element determining that the condition is satisfied, the element employs current steering to couple the additional current source to an output of the DAC to support the second full scale value of the DAC.
Dynamically adjusting upstream and/or downstream spectrum usage by a Remote PHY node. Cable modem association information for a Remote PHY node is dynamically determined remotely from across a network. The association information identifies which cable modems serviced by the Remote PHY node are physically connected to each of the Remote PHY node ports. Remote PHY node ports are remotely and dynamically assigned to upstream device port and/or downstream device port of a Remote PHY device comprised within the Remote PHY node. Based on the association information, each of the node port of the Remote PHY node may be reassigned to a different upstream device ports and/or downstream device ports of the Remote PHY device. This reassignment may be performed to achieve load balancing of upstream and/or downstream traffic sent between a plurality of cable modems served by the Remote PHY node and a Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS).

The running parameter data is normally obtained through network communications during a boot operation of the R-PHY device. If certain conditions are satisfied, then the R-PHY device recovers from the interruption in input power using the stored running parameter data without obtaining the running parameter data through a normal boot operation, thus shortening the boot time.

Detecting an imminent failure of a power supply. An internal computerized component periodically reads a set of measurements from one or more sensors affixed to a power supply. The internal computerized component and power supply may reside in a variety of different technical contexts, such as a Remote PHY node. The internal computerized component analyzes the set of measurements using, at least in part, a weighted set of factors, to detect the imminent failure in the power supply. The weighted set of factors may be updated or revised over time and may be specifically tailored for use with specific types of power supplies.

Power saving by configurable adjustment of power amplifier
Configurable adjustment of a power amplifier bias for a power amplifier. The power amplifier may be comprised within a variety of different apparatuses, such as without limitation a remote PHY node, a remote MACPHY node, and a wireless communication device. A processing unit, disposed within an apparatus, instructs an electrical circuit, also disposed within said apparatus, to change an RF signal output power carrying capability of the power amplifier based on a configuration. The configuration may, but need not, be maintained within the apparatus. The change in the RF signal output power carrying capability of the power amplifier causes an adjustment in a power consumption of the power amplifier.

Dynamically adjusting load on an over-the-top (OTT) delivery network
Dynamically managing an operation of a content delivery network (CDN) to address excessive load upon an upload link for updating data thereto and/or upon particular portions of the CDN. A network optimizer may receive bit rate utilization data that identifies a current bit rate amount being utilized by the upload link and what digital video data is being uploaded to the CDN thereon. The network optimizer may also receive, from an analytic server, consumption information about the current load being experienced throughout different regions of the CDN. The network optimizer analyses the bit rate utilization data and the consumption information to dynamically render any changes necessary to the bit rate utilization of the upload link and to the representations of digital video propagated to some or all portions of the CDN to ensure the load remains below a predetermined threshold in both the upload link and throughout the CDN.

Delivering a transport stream using a hybrid statistical multiplexer. Over a plurality of multiplexing cycles, a plurality of single program transport streams (SPTSs) are multiplexed onto a multiple program transport stream (MPTS). In each multiplexing cycle, it is determined whether any portion of the packets carried by the plurality of SPTSs may be delayed such that the delayed portion is multiplexed onto the MPTS in a future multiplexing cycle. For each multiplexing cycle, delay information that identifies how many packets were delayed is determined. The size of the bit rate pool for a subsequent allocation cycle is adjusted based on the delay information for a prior multiplexing cycle. Thereafter, the MPTS is delivered to one or more recipients.

Approaches for supporting a RF automatic gain control (AGC) loop. A first module and a second module are coupled together via a single RF transmission cable. The first module might be a Remote PHY Device (RPD). The second module may comprise a power amplifier. Both the first and second module operate on a single automatic gain control (AGC) loop. The first module sends a first signal to the second module over the single RF transmission cable at a first frequency or frequency range. The first module may adjust a gain of the AGC loop based on a second signal sent from the second module to the first module over the single RF transmission cable. The second, counterpropagating signal has a different frequency or frequency range than the first frequency of the first signal, e.g., the second frequency or frequency range may be lower than that of the first frequency.
Segregating a node port experiencing ingress. A node that provides a service to a plurality of cable modems may have a plurality of node ports. The node may be a Remote PHY Node or a Remote MACPHY node. In response to detecting that a particular node port of the node is experiencing ingress, the assignment of node ports to upstream device ports are adjusted so that the particular node port experiencing ingress is not be assigned to the same upstream device port as any other node port. In further response to detecting ingress at the particular node port, all node ports assigned to the same upstream device port are caused to be assigned to the same downstream device port. By segregating the node port experiencing the ingress in this manner, the impact of that ingress can be mitigated or eliminated with respect to the other node ports of that node.

A video encoder unit receives a video signal to encode along with auxiliary services such as audio streams and/or data streams. While the auxiliary streams are allotted a fixed bandwidth, the video encoder determines a required video bandwidth, which must be allocated in response to the request by a central allocator. Where economies are made in the auxiliary services for example by transmitting stereo audio instead of surround sound for example, the bandwidth requested from the central allocator is inflated by an amount corresponding to a proportion of the economized bandwidth. The extra bandwidth allocated on this basis may then be used for improving the quality of video encoding, and/or reserved for the transmission of asynchronous data.

Approaches for recovering one or more media datagrams. A plurality of media datagrams, a plurality of row forward error correction (FEC) datagrams, and a plurality of column FEC datagrams are received. The plurality of media datagrams is logically arranged in rows and columns of media datagrams. Each row FEC datagram corresponds to one of the rows of the media datagrams and each column FEC datagram corresponds to one of the columns of media datagrams. Each received datagram is stored in a buffer. Upon determining that a particular media datagram is missing, it is determined whether a particular row FEC datagram or a particular column FEC datagram covering the particular media datagram has been received and is missing only a single media datagram for which it covers. If so, then, the particular media datagram is recovered using the particular row FEC datagram or the particular column FEC datagram.

Dynamic allocation of CPU cycles vis-a-vis virtual machines in video stream processing
Approaches for dynamically allocating CPU cycles for use in processing a video stream. Video complexity information for two or more digital video streams actively being processed by one or more video encoders is determined at periodic intervals. Video complexity information describes the complexity of digital video carried by the digital video streams across a bounded number of consecutive digital frames which includes digital frames not yet processed by the one or more video encoders. A determination is made as to whether a number of CPU cycles allocated for processing a particular digital video stream should be adjusted based on the determined video complexity information. The number of CPU cycles allocated for processing the particular digital video stream may be dynamically adjusted by changing an amount of CPU cycles allocated to a virtual machine in which the stream is processed or by processing the stream in a different virtual machine.
