Abstract:
A cable modem termination system (CMTS) may determine, for a cable modem served by the CMTS, a SNR-related metric. The CMTS may assign the modem among a plurality of service groups based on the SNR-related metric. The CMTS may configure physical layer communication parameters to be used by the modem based on a SNR-related metric of a service group to which the modem is assigned. The physical layer communication parameters may include one or more of: transmit power, receive sensitivity, timeslot duration, modulation type, modulation order, forward error correction (FEC) type, and FEC code rate. The CMTS and the modem may communicate using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) over a plurality of subcarriers, and the physical layer communication parameters may be determined on a per-subcarrier basis.

Claim (Index 10):
A system comprising:\n circuitry for use in a cable modem termination system (CMTS), said circuitry comprising a network interface and a processor wherein: said processor is configured to determine, for a cable modem served by said CMTS, a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) related metric; said processor is configured to assign said cable modem to one of a plurality of service groups based on said SNR-related metric; said processor is configured to determine, for said one of said plurality of service groups, a composite SNR-related metric; said processor is configured to identify one or more physical layer communication parameter to be used for communicating with said one of said plurality of service groups based on said composite SNR-related metric; and said network interface is configured to communicate with said cable modem using the one or more selected physical layer communication parameter.
