Patent number: 11962404Abstract: A bandwidth allocation and monitoring method may divide available bandwidth on a shared communication medium into a plurality of discrete tones that can be individually allocated to modems on an as-needed basis. The effective modulation rate that a particular modem can use for each discrete tone can be monitored over time using a schedule of pilot tones transmitted from the modems on different tones at different times. The schedule may define representative pilot tones, in which case effective modulation rates for neighboring tones may be inferred from a determined effective modulation rate of a pilot tone.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2023Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: Comcast Cable Communications, LLCInventors: Jorge Salinger, David Urban

Publication number: 20230318644Abstract: Methods and systems for interference management are described. Methods and systems can be used for minimizing interference among communication and/or electronic devices. Interference data can be gathered/received from interference sources such as weather and natural patterns, various electronic devices, and one or more network protocols. The interference data can be used to generate interference patterns of each interference source in an interference map. The interference map can be used to determine how a particular interference pattern can affect a system. The interference map can also be used to evaluate a new source of interference (e.g., cordless phones, weather conditions) to determine how a system can be affected. The interference data can also be associated with an interference signature (e.g., an interference pattern, a fingerprint) for an interference source in a database. The database can be used based on the interference signature to identify known and/or unknown interference sources.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 30, 2023Publication date: October 5, 2023Inventors: Erami Botchway, Phillip Chang, Mark Francisco, Jim Poder, Jorge Salinger

Patent number: 11777809Abstract: Signals may be forwarded to a variety of ports for transmission. The signals may be modulated for transmission. The forwarding of signals to ports may be accomplished by forwarding the signals to one or more signal modulators using a processing unit. The mapping of signals to ports may change responsive to a triggering event.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2022Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: Comcast Cable Communications, LLCInventor: Jorge Salinger

Publication number: 20230300085Abstract: A network management system may allocate different amounts of bandwidth to different types of data traffic. The traffic types may be distinguished by their source device address, and whether the source device is part of, or external to, a first network. Packets may also be marked by their sender with information to identify a traffic type, and the marking may be used to determine the packet's treatment. The allocations given to the various types of traffic may be dynamically modified with changing traffic demands and conditions.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 23, 2023Publication date: September 21, 2023Inventors: Jorge Salinger, Saifur Rahman, John G. Bevilacqua

Publication number: 20230299930Abstract: Described herein is a system and method for determining one or more data modulation profiles for one or more devices. The system and method described herein may measure signal quality, such as a modulation error ratio (MER), signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), receive power, transmit power, etc. Based on the signal quality, the system may determine one or more data modulation profile(s) (e.g., quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) profiles) for a subcarrier, a plurality of subcarriers, a device, and/or a grouping of devices.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 1, 2022Publication date: September 21, 2023Inventors: Maurice Manuel Garcia, Larry Wolcott, Robert Gonsalves, Michael Pettit, John G.
