1. A Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS) in a Cable Television (CATV) system connected to a plurality of modems through a transmission network, the plurality of modems arranged into a first set of at least one interference group (IG), the CMTS capable of reorganizing the plurality of modems into a second set of at least one IG different than the first set of at least one IG, where the CMTS reorganizes the plurality of modems using the first set of at least one IG, and where the system uses a graph-based connected components technique to process an array based on sounding data to reorganize the plurality of modems into the second set of at least one interference group.
