Patent number: 9379825Abstract: A new protocol uses a trigger message to identify one or more symbols transmitted between a first and a second communication device. The first device generates and transmits a trigger message to the second device. This process may be initiated based on the first device receiving a measurement initiation message from another device (e.g., such as the second device or another device within the system). Then, the first device transmits a signal that includes those one or more symbols to the second device. Before or during transmission, the first device generates a first capture of those one or more symbols. After receipt of the transmission from the first device, the second device performs a second capture of those one or more symbols identified within the trigger message. Then, any device having the first and second captures can determine a characterization of the communication pathway between the first and second devices.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2014Date of Patent: June 28, 2016Assignee: Broadcom CorporationInventors: Bruce Joseph Currivan, Roger Wayne Fish, Lisa Voigt Denney, Niki Roberta Pantelias

Patent number: 8934503Abstract: A supervisory communications device, such as a headend device within a communications network, monitors and controls communications with a plurality of remote communications devices throughout a widely distributed network. The supervisory device allocates bandwidth on the upstream channels by sending MAP messages over its downstream channel. A highly integrated media access controller integrated circuit (MAC IC) operates within the headend to provide lower level processing on signals exchanged with the remote devices. The enhanced functionality of the MAC IC relieves the processing burden on the headend CPU and increases packet throughput. The enhanced functionality includes header suppression and expansion. DES encryption and decryption, fragment reassembly, concatenation, and DMA operations.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2013Date of Patent: January 13, 2015Assignee: Broadcom CorporationInventors: Lisa Voigt Denney, Hooman Moshar, John Daniel Horton, Shane Patrick Lansing, Sean Francis Nazareth, Niki Roberta Pantelias

Patent number: 8908716Abstract: A method for increasing upstream bandwidth per cable modem user in a cable communications system that includes a cable modem termination system (CMTS) and a plurality of cable modems is provided. The method permits a cable modem to transmit data to the CMTS on multiple upstream channels simultaneously using a technique called “channel bonding.” Channel bonding allows smaller bandwidth upstream channels to be bonded together to create a larger bandwidth pipe.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2012Date of Patent: December 9, 2014Assignee: Broadcom CorporationInventors: Lisa Voigt Denney, Niki Roberta Pantelias, A.

Patent number: 8705567Abstract: A method for increasing upstream bandwidth per cable modem user in a cable communications system that includes a cable modem termination system (CMTS) and a plurality of cable modems is provided. The method permits a cable modem to transmit data to the CMTS on multiple upstream channels simultaneously using a technique called “channel bonding.” Bandwidth allocation is achieved by transmitting from a CMTS to a cable modem a unique bandwidth allocation message for each upstream channel in a bonded group of upstream channels, wherein the combination of unique bandwidth allocation messages collectively allocates requested bandwidth across the bonded group.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2006Date of Patent: April 22, 2014Assignee: Broadcom CorporationInventors: Lisa Voigt Denney, Niki Roberta Pantelias, A.

Patent number: 8156372Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for operation of a cable modem in response to Alternating Current (AC) power outage is described herein. When a loss of AC power is detected, the cable modem is switched to battery backup mode of operation using a single upstream and a single downstream channel. This switch occurs prior to receiving instructions from a cable modem termination system to use a single upstream and a single downstream channel. The cable modem notifies the cable modem termination system of the switch to battery backup mode of operation.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2009Date of Patent: April 10, 2012Assignee: Broadcom CorporationInventors: Lisa Voigt Denney, Roger W.
