Development of an Echo Cancellation Scheme for Full Duplex DOCSIS 3.1 Technology

Data-Over-Cable Service Interface Specifications (DOCSIS) 3.1 is a technology that utilizes orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) technology to provide downstream (DS) transmission capacities of up to 10 gigabits per seconds (Gbps), as well as orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA) technology to provide upstream (US) transmission capacities of up to 1 Gbps per channel. Full duplex (FDX) […]

Dynamic Bandwidth Management

In the telecommunications industry, many schemas exist to cap or limit bandwidth at certain levels for clients. However, there are no real options available to allow clients to intelligently utilize spare bandwidth above their committed purchase rates. We propose to design, implement and evaluate novel bandwidth allocation mechanisms for high speed networks like the Cybera […]
