Patent attributes
Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for deploying upstream bandwidth upgrade of devices per home basis. The impact of the upstream bandwidth upgrade on the devices may be pre-estimated based on remotely monitoring and/or analyzing performance data of the devices collected during transmissions of test signals (e.g., a burst of upstream transmissions) in real-time from the devices operating under different modes of operations. The burst of upstream transmissions using a small bandwidth (e.g., 1.6 MHz) may be limited to a short duration of time (e.g., 5 seconds) so that on-going services provided by the devices are not substantially interrupted. The upstream bandwidth of the devices, based on the pre-estimated impact, may be upgraded, left unaltered, or downgraded.
