Abstract

See full text

An example method for scheduling in full duplex cable network environments is provided and includes categorizing a plurality of cable modems in a cable network into interference groups, scheduling upstream transmissions and downstream receptions for cable modems in each interference group, such that no cable modem of any one interference group transmits upstream in a frequency range simultaneously as another cable modem in the same interference group receives downstream in the frequency range, generating scheduling information of the scheduling, and transmitting the scheduling information to the cable modems.
