Patent attributes
Automated communication channel selection is provided. A method, system, and computer readable storage device automatically perform a discovery process of a MoCA® network, to determine a topology of the network, perform a spectrum analysis of a DOCSIS® network of which a portion of the frequency range may be shared, apply one or more business rules to the collected network and spectrum usage data, and determine an optimized channel configuration for transmitting data to end devices in a local network. For example, the channel configuration may be configured for optimal bandwidth allocation, transmission speeds, signal quality, etc., without interferences within the shared frequency spectrum range. A gateway device may include a filter that can be reconfigured as an all-pass filter or as a variable low-pass filter based on the channel configuration determination. The MoCA® network may be reconfigured to operate within a defined frequency range based on the determined channel configuration.
