OFDMA — It’s Trending What’s trending in cable? It’s OFDMA or orthogonal frequency division multiple access. OFDMA is the upstream counterpart to OFDM, which stands for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing. Both are part of the DOCSIS 3.1 specification and are intended to increase speed over the DOCSIS network far beyond what can be achieved using

A cable modem’s transmit power is extremely important. It not only determines if the cable modem will be able to come online and register with the CMTS (cable modem termination system) but obtaining the optimal transmit power will make or break the subscriber’s quality of experience (QoE). A DOCSIS 3.1 cable modem’s transmit power introduces

Recommendations to resolving DOCSIS 3.1 cable modems crashing with OFDMA Place OFDMA channels above 42 MHz: For those fortunate with 5-65 MHz or 5-85 MHz return paths, keeping four 6.4 MHz SC-QAM signals below 42 MHz and then loading one OFDMA channel above 42 MHz is ideal. Your SC-QAM channels should be fully optimized with dynamic
