Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose a hybrid fiber coaxial (HFC) network fault locating method and apparatus. The method includes: obtaining a fault group in an HFC network; collecting a pre-equalization coefficient of at least one cable modem (CM); enabling a reference fault point that is corresponding to the fault group and whose location is known; collecting the pre-equalization coefficient of the at least one CM again; and determining a relative distance between each fault point in the fault group and the reference fault point according to the pre-equalization coefficient collected twice. In the present disclosure, not only each fault point in a fault group including a plurality of fault points can be located, but also a fault group including only a single fault point can be located.

Claim (Index 11):
The apparatus according to  claim 10 , wherein to calculate the fault severity between every two fault points according to the first pre-equalization coefficient set, to obtain the first fault severity set, and to calculate the fault severity between every two fault points in the fault point set according to the second pre-equalization coefficient set, to obtain the second fault severity set, the processor is configured to invoke the program stored in the memory to:\n perform analysis processing on the first pre-equalization coefficient set by using the PNMP algorithm, to obtain the fault severity between every two fault points, and use the fault severity as the first fault severity set; and perform analysis processing on the second pre-equalization coefficient set by using the PNMP algorithm, to obtain the fault severity between every two fault points in the fault point set, and use the fault severity as the second fault severity set.
