  • Methods and systems for scheduling data transmission with a feedback mechanism
    Patent number: 9712450
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes identifying one or more channel queues associated with one or more RF channels, wherein the one or more RF channels are associated with a Data Over Cable System Interface Specification (DOCSIS) bonding group and wherein the DOCSIS bonding group receives downstream data from a first node, determining a data usage of the DOCSIS bonding group, determining that a data rate of the downstream data is to be modified based on at least one of the one or more channel queues or the data usage of the DOCSIS bonding group, and causing the first node to modify the data rate of the downstream data based on the determination.

  • Network-based adaptive rate limiting
    Patent number: 9521177
    Abstract: An apparatus can include a session rate limit calculator and a rate limiter. The session rate limit calculator can be configured to compute a session rate limit for a given session of a plurality of active streaming media sessions based on state information for the given session and state information for a downstream bottleneck link to which the apparatus feeds the plurality of active streaming media sessions. The rate limiter can be configured to control downstream traffic for the given session based on the computed session rate limit and to provide corresponding rate-limited downstream traffic for the given session.

  • Dynamically allocating channel bandwidth between interfaces
    Patent number: 8160098
    Abstract: In one example, a bandwidth allocation device allocates physical channel bandwidth between local interfaces. Thereafter, at a polling time, the bandwidth allocation device determines whether there is communication activity between each local interface and the physical channel. The bandwidth allocation device can then dynamically reallocate the physical channel bandwidth at the polling time according to the communication activity determinations.
