Abstract

A signal analyzer resource monitors a signal in a downstream channel of a shared physical communication link. In response to detecting presence of wireless interference coupling onto the signal received in the downstream channel, the signal analyzer resource communicates a feedback message to a management resource (or other suitable resource) over an upstream channel of the shared physical communication link. The message indicates the presence of the wireless interference. According to a more specific configuration, the signal analyzer resource can be configured to: detect a type of modulation used to modulate data on a signal received in a channel over a shared cable network; map the detected type of modulation to a corresponding set of configuration values; and utilize the corresponding set of configuration values as a basis to monitor and/or detect a presence of wireless interference on the channel. The signal analyzer resource can mitigate affects of interference.
