Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for multiple spectrum plans on a single cable segment. An example method may include causing, by a processor, to send an indication to a first customer premises device (CPE) of a Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS) network to transmit and receive data outside of a second frequency range, wherein the first CPE is configured to transmit and receive data over the DOCSIS network using a first frequency spectrum, wherein the first CPE is configured to transmit upstream data in a first frequency range between a first frequency and the second frequency, and wherein the DOCSIS network further comprises a second CPE configured to transmit and receive data on the DOCSIS network using a second frequency spectrum, wherein the second CPE is configured to transmit upstream data in a second frequency range between the second frequency and a third frequency.

Abstract: Described herein include systems, methods, and apparatuses for the scheduling of data over a network (e.g., a wired or wireless network). A scheduler may be configured to receive a portion of packets at a receiving buffer and classify the packets into real time packets or non-real time packets using associated first and second queues. Further, a first re-transmission component may receive the real time packets from the first queue, and a second re-transmission component may receive the non-real time packets from the second queue. The real time packets may be received, by a transmission component, from the first re-transmission component; the transmission component may also receive non-real time packets from the second re-transmission component. The scheduler may then transmit at least one real time packet or non-real time packet to another device over a network using any suitable scheduling algorithm.

Abstract: Described herein include systems, methods, and apparatuses for the remote medium access control (MAC) in communication networks, for example, in cable networks. In particular, the disclosure describes a network architecture including a switch configured to communicate with remote MAC layer devices over first connections (e.g., digital fiber connections); the remote MAC layer devices configured to communicate with remote physical (PHY) layer devices over second connections (e.g., second digital fiber connections); and the remote PHY layer device configured to communicate with customer premise equipment devices over a third connection (e.g., analog coaxial connections).

Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure are generally directed to disabling sounding, resource-block allocation, and various full-duplex (FDX) capabilities in a portion of a spectrum used in FDX-enabled cable networks. The disclosure further describes dynamically using an upstream mode or a downstream mode of communication for half-duplex communication in the portion of the spectrum originally designated for FDX communication, for a given time interval. In another embodiment, the disclosure can thereby facilitate an increase in upstream or downstream capacity on the cable network, for example, a fifteen-fold increase in the upstream capacity or downstream capacity. In some embodiments, control messages can be transmitted from a controller node to devices on the network periodically, describing the usage of the FDX portion of the spectrum for upstream or downstream transmission. The control messages can include medium access control (MAC) management messages and/or tag-length-value (TLV) messages.

Abstract: In various embodiment, the disclosed systems, methods, and apparatuses describe the application of non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) over networks (e.g., cable networks). In particular, the disclosure describes: determining a signal for transmission to a receiving device; determining, by a processing component of the device, parameters associated with the transmission of the signal, the parameters comprising at least one of a power level, a modulation scheme, a frequency band, and a power spectral density; and transmitting, by a transmitting component of the device, the signal over a medium based on the parameters and using a NOMA technique.
