Abstract:
Systems and methods presented herein provide for improved duplex communications in an RF cable network comprising a plurality of CMs. In one embodiment, a system includes a CMTS operable to transmit downstream communications to the CMs and to process upstream communications from the CMs. The system also includes a duplex RF communication path between the CMTS and the CMs. The CMTS is further operable to transmit a control signal that directs a first of the CMs to transmit, to direct the remaining CMs to receive the transmission from the first CM, to direct the CMs to report received power levels of the transmission from the first CM, and to calculate RF isolations of the remaining CMs with respect to the first CM based on the reported power levels.

Claim (Index 1):
A method operating a cable modem termination system (CMTS) in operable communication with a plurality of cable modems (CMs) over a duplex radio frequency (RF) communication path, the method comprising the steps of:\n generating a measurement matrix of the plurality of CMs meeting a threshold RF isolation value with respect to other CMs in the plurality of CMs; determining, from the measurement matrix, which of the plurality of CMs meet a requisite RF isolation value for full duplex operation; selecting a CM a measurement group, based on the step of determining, of CMs from the plurality of CMs; and commencing full duplex transmission and reception with at least one CM of the measurement group.
