Systems and methods for avoiding server push of objects already cached at a client

This patent document describes, among other things, methods, apparatus, and systems for tracking those resources that a server has pushed to a client, e.g., using the HTTP 2.0 or other server push mechanism. Pushed resources may be cached at the client.

Method and Apparatus for Characterizing Modulation Schemes in an HFC Network

The available modulation schemes of a network are analyzed to determine which ones contain excessive phase noise or narrowband interference. A network element is selected and assigned to a test channel at a first modulation scheme at a predetermined power level to achieve a predetermined PER. The network element transmits a test signal and the network controller measures the signal to noise ratio (SNR) in the received test signal. If the SNR is not within a predetermined tolerance range of an estimated SNR for the modulation scheme at the predetermined PER, the modulation scheme is determined to have excessive phase noise or narrowband interference. Each available modulation scheme is tested by instructing the network element to transmit the test signal using each modulation scheme and assigning the power level of each modulation scheme. The suitable modulation schemes may be determined.
