Patent number: 10938478Abstract: Dynamic power in cable access networks may be reduced. First, a peak data rate associated with a network may be determined. Then, a modulation order and an associated Radio Frequency (RF) level that will support the determined peak data rate may be determined. Next, a power value to be transmitted by a node in the network based on the determined modulation order and the associated RF level may be determined. A bias value may then be determined for the node to support the determined power value.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2019Date of Patent: March 2, 2021Assignee: CISCO TECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventors: John Holobinko, John Alexander Ritchie, Jr.

Patent number: 10771269Abstract: Automated intelligent node setup and configuration in a Hybrid Fiber-Coaxial (HFC) Network may be provided. First, a desired operating profile for a node connected in a Hybrid Fiber-Coaxial (HFC) network may be determined by a computing device. Next, based on the desired operating profile, a setting for at least one component in the node may be determined by the computing device. Then the at least one component in the node may be adjusted remotely by the computing device to the determined setting.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2018Date of Patent: September 8, 2020Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: John Holobinko, John Alexander Ritchie, Jr., John Skrobko, Huang Ping

Patent number: 10523270Abstract: Full Duplex (FDX) enhanced node deployment may be provided. First, a first device level may be provided comprising a first plurality of FDX enhanced nodes. The first plurality of FDX enhanced nodes may comprise a first FDX enhanced node and a second FDX enhanced node. The first plurality of FDX enhanced nodes may be operated in a first mode. Next, a second device level may be provided comprising a third FDX enhanced node. The second device level may be upstream from the first device level. The third FDX enhanced node may be operated in a second mode. Then an input port of the first FDX enhanced node and an input port of the second FDX enhanced node may be provided with a same type of input that is being provided to an input port of the third FDX enhanced node. The first plurality of FDX enhanced nodes may then be switched from being operated in the first mode to being operated in the second mode.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2018Date of Patent: December 31, 2019Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: John T. Chapman, Hang Jin, John Holobinko, Yubin Chen, John Alexander Ritchie, Jr., Martin Mattingly

Patent number: 9154851Abstract: A method and computing device that provides a tunable RF filter for a two-way communication system. The method receives a downstream video signal, and filters the downstream video signal into at least one downstream bandwidth band, each downstream bandwidth band related to desired upstream/downstream bandwidth splits. The method performs an energy detection on each downstream bandwidth band, and determines a lowest frequency of said at least one downstream bandwidth band that contains downstream video content. The method sets a diplex filter upstream/downstream frequency cutoff to a maximum upstream bandwidth that does not conflict with the lowest frequency of said at least one downstream bandwidth band that contains downstream video content.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2011Date of Patent: October 6, 2015Assignee: ARRIS Technology, Inc.Inventors: David B. Bowler, John Holobinko
