Abstract
A network access device placed between one or more distribution devices and multiple premises may remotely or wirelessly monitor and/or analyze signal characteristics at the network access device and or of equipment at the multiple premises. The network access device may adjust switchably-filtered signal paths between the distribution device(s) and the multiple premises to remove or mitigate signal interference.
Claims30
A network access device comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the network access device to:
- receive, via a portion of an upstream bandwidth of a communication medium, one or more upstream signals,
- determine, based on reflection of at least a portion of the one or more upstream signals, one or more modifications to one or more signal paths, of a plurality of signal paths of the network access device, associated with one or more devices affected by the reflection, and
- cause the determined one or more modifications to the one or more signal paths.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed, cause:
- receiving, by a network access device and via a portion of an upstream bandwidth of a communication medium, one or more upstream signals;
- determining, based on reflection of at least a portion of the one or more upstream signals, one or more modifications to one or more signal paths, of a plurality of signal paths of the network access device, associated with one or more devices affected by the reflection;
- and
- causing, by the network access device, the determined one or more modifications to the one or more signal paths.
A network access device comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the network access device to:
- receive a message indicating reflection, of at least a portion of one or more upstream signals, affecting one or more devices,
- determine, based on the reflection, one or more modifications to one or more signal paths, of a plurality of signal paths of the network access device, associated with the one or more devices, and
- cause the determined one or more modifications to the one or more signal paths.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed, cause:
- receiving a message indicating reflection, of at least a portion of one or more upstream signals, affecting one or more devices;
- determining, based on the reflection, one or more modifications to one or more signal paths, of a plurality of signal paths of a network access device, associated with the one or more devices;
- and
- causing the determined one or more modifications to the one or more signal paths.
