Claim 5:
6. A noise profile generator, comprising:
at least one processor;
non-transitory computer readable media having encoded thereon computer software comprising a set of instructions executable by the at least one processor to:
based on an identification, by at least one noise information node, of a new end device that has been connected to a communication path, identify, based on a corresponding first unique identifier associated with the at least one noise information node and at a noise profile database, existing noise information associated with the communication path, associate a second unique identifier of the new end device with the extracted noise information, subtract the existing noise information from extracted noise information resulting in an added noise information, and generate, based on the added noise information, an isolated noise profile associated with the new end device,
wherein the communication medium comprises a transmission spectrum, wherein the transmission spectrum includes a plurality of subcarrier channels, each subcarrier channel spanning a respective frequency range within the transmission spectrum, the set of instructions further comprises instructions that cause the processor to:
retrieve, via the noise information repository, extracted noise information respectively from each of the plurality of sub-carrier channels, wherein the extracted noise information is extracted respectively from each of the subcarrier channels; and
determine, based on the extracted noise information, a signal-to-noise ratio respectively for each of the subcarrier channels.
