Present disclosure describes the techniques for regaining synchronization between the RPD and the PTP server, without resetting RPD, in the event of run time-phase jump experienced at RPD. To do so, said technique discloses identifying a run time phase jump event at a remote Physical device (RPD) and initiating an Upstream Channel Descriptor (UCD) refresh procedure to reconnect the RPD with Precision Time Protocol (PTP) server.

A half duplex amplifier for a cable network.

Systems and methods that receive noise measurements associated with a network device in a communications network, and for each of the plurality of subcarriers, and use the noise measurements to characterize the severity of noise ingress into the network device specifically due to interference from wireless communications in proximity to the network device.

A broadband digital access (BDA) architecture includes a BDA hub device in a headend/hub and one or more BDA node modules in one or more HFC nodes to enable digital communications between the headend/hub and the HFC node(s) in a CATV/HFC network. The BDA hub device and the BDA node module(s) are connected by one or more downstream optical fibers and one or more upstream optical fibers to enable digital optical communications therebetween. The BDA hub device provides an analog RF interface with equipment in the headend/hub and the BDA node module provides an analog RF interface with subscriber locations via one or more coaxial cables.

A cable distribution system includes a head end connected to a plurality of customer devices through a transmission network that provides data suitable for the plurality of customer devices. A traffic monitoring system receives from a customer support device a first data request for a parameter of one of the plurality of customer devices. The traffic monitoring system provides a second data request for the parameter of the one of said plurality of customer devices to a customer premise equipment management system in response to receiving the first data request. The traffic monitoring system receiving a first data response including the parameter from the customer premise equipment management system in response to providing the second data request to the customer premise equipment management system. The traffic monitoring system providing a second data response including the parameter from the traffic management system to the customer support device in response to receiving the first data response.

Systems and methods for providing timing information from a R-MACHPHY device to a video core while the R-MACPHY device receives video data from the video core while operating in asynchronous mode. In some embodiments, the R-MACPHY device may alternately and selectively configure its mode of operation to alternate between synchronous mode and asynchronous mode, and provide the timing information to the video core when it switches to asynchronous mode.
