Patent ID: 8670481

Claim:
A system for dynamic profile management in a cable modem termination system (CMTS), comprising: a CMTS receiver in communication with a plurality of cable modems; and a dynamic profile management module in communication with the CMTS receiver, the dynamic profile management module: (i) establishing an initial communications profile for each of the plurality of cable modems; (ii) monitoring a plurality of performance metrics associated with communications between the CMTS and each of the plurality of cable modems; (iii) automatically adjusting parameters of the initial communications profiles in response to the monitored performance metrics to create a customized communications profile for each of the cable modems based upon the monitored performance metrics; and (iv) continuing to monitor the plurality of performance metrics and adjust parameters of the customized communications profiles to optimize performance of the plurality of cable modems, wherein the monitored performance metrics comprise at least one of a Modulation Error Rate (MER), a correctable Code Error Rate (CER), an uncorrectable CER, measured burst noise duration, burst noise frequency of occurrence, power associated with equalizer coefficients, and power associated with ingress cancellation filter coefficients.
