Abstract
Muting systems and methods are described that reduce noise signals that are received in a communication hub which communicates with indoor units (IDUs) of a plurality of communication customers. The systems and methods reduce transmitter signal gain when uplink communication signals to the transmitter input port are less than a predetermined threshold. Accordingly, accumulated noise signals at the communication hub are reduced and the system performance of the communication hub is not degraded.
