Abstract:
The present disclosure provides methods and systems for a network interface device including an entry port connected to a cable television (CATV) network. A noise suppressor is provided that improves the detection and differentiation between ingress noise and valid upstream signals. The noise suppressor can gate the upstream path logically and dynamically to pass valid upstream signals, while blocking ingress noise form the CATV network.

Claim (Index 22):
A network interface device, comprising:\n an input-output port; an entry port configured to connect to a cable television (CATV) network; a plurality of noise suppression paths each configured to direct an upstream signal from the input-output port toward the entry port when active; and a controller configured to:\n determine a dynamic noise threshold of a signal communicated within the network interface device; \n determine a signal-to-noise ratio of the signal; \n compare the signal-to-noise ratio with the dynamic noise threshold; and \n cause the signal to be directed to one of the plurality of noise suppression paths within the network interface device based on the comparing of the signal-to-noise ratio with the dynamic noise threshold.
