  • Patent number: 12261684
    Abstract: A plurality of signal quality values that characterize signal qualities of the corresponding OFDM channel's subcarriers of a channel used by a first cable modem to communicate with an aggregation device are received. Due to in-band interference it is determined that a first subcarrier has a first signal quality value outside of a desirable signal quality threshold range for a pre-determined period of time. The aggregation device that provides data to the first cable modem is identified. To mitigate the interference impact, a signal analyzer sends an instruction to the aggregation device that identifies the first subcarrier and the first cable modem and that instructs the aggregation device to reduce a first transmission data rate used to transmit data on the first subcarrier.
