Abstract
Dynamically adjusting how a frequency spectrum is allocated between upstream and downstream communications on an access network. A device receives, over the access network from an upstream direction, an instruction to dynamically adopt a new active spectrum configuration from a set of preestablished spectrum configurations. Each of the preestablished spectrum configurations allocates the available frequency spectrum differently between upstream traffic and downstream traffic. The device processes the instruction by selecting one or more switchable diplexers or other frequency filters to adopt the new spectrum configuration. Upon adopting the new spectrum configuration, the device ceases to use a prior spectrum configuration and thereafter uses the frequency spectrum in accordance with the new active spectrum configuration.
