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) communication, via the concurrent transmission of the US and DS on the same frequencies, has been proposed for boosting the US capacity. Nevertheless, in an FDX communication system, one of the technical challenges is to overcome the deteriorating effect of interference from the transmitted signal into the collocated receiver. This situation is addressed by echo cancellation. TO BE CONT-D
