Abstract
A method and apparatus for cancelling self-interference in a cable network implementing full duplex (FDX). A processor in a cable modem may obtain a frequency response of an echo channel for at least one sub-channel in an FDX band and calculate filter coefficients based on the frequency response, and an interference canceller cancels the self-interference in the downstream signal. The interference canceller includes filters in a digital domain to generate an interference cancellation signal from a reference signal. In another example, the processor may obtain frequency responses of an echo channel for all sub-channels in a FDX band, combine the frequency responses for the FDX band, and generate a channel impulse response for the FDX band from the combined frequency response. The interference canceller may then cancel the self-interference in the downstream signal in an analog domain based on the channel impulse response.
