  • Patent number: 11800498
    Abstract: A communication management resource (such as disposed at a network management node or other location) allocates bandwidth in a physical communication link to convey communication data associated with first customer premises equipment. In one implementation, the allocated bandwidth in the physical communication link is partitioned in accordance with wireless bandwidth supported by the first customer premises equipment. For example, in one embodiment, the allocated bandwidth of the physical communication link is mapped to convey corresponding data communicated over wireless bandwidth used by the first customer premises equipment. The communication management resource establishes a control channel over the physical communication link between the network management node and the first customer premises equipment. Via the control channel, the communication management resource then transmits a command over the control channel from the network management node to the first customer premises equipment.
