Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media can be operable to facilitate the provisioning of data and video services to client devices using communication standards and/or protocols that are not compatible with corresponding CPE device(s). An IPTV adapter can be embedded in a CPE device, can be connected to a CPE device, or can be a stand-alone device, and the tuning adapter can translate/reformat communications between client devices and an upstream component and/or content server. The IPTV adapter can support various communication standards and protocols.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus can provide videophone communications though the introduction of a video device and upgrade of a CPE device providing packetized voice communication. The video portion of the videophone call can be displayed on standard devices. Other implementations provide improvements through integration with a set-top box.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for qualifying quality of service in data services delivered through wireless networks established by wireless access points (WAPs) are disclosed. A portable computing device can be used to execute a wireless network connectivity qualification application that can include functionality for testing and evaluating wireless network connectivity signals between various devices, including the WAP, in a particular local wireless network. Based on the test results, the application can generate recommendations for remedying any detected network issues. The recommendations can be determined from information stored locally on the portable computing device or in remote backend servers.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media can be operable to pair a client device with a CPE device. The methods, systems and computer readable media described in this disclosure can enable the pairing of a client device with a CPE device upon a connection of the client device to a whole-network associated with the CPE device. Further, methods, systems and computer readable media can enable the secure pairing of a client device with a CPE device with little to no user-input.

Abstract: Systems and methods can be used to reduce power consumption on a device. In some implementations, power consumption can be reduced by powering down modules. In other implementations, power consumption can be reduced by communicating configuration status messages to the terminating system to reduce communications. Power saving can extend backup battery power duration thereby affording users to access telephone services during a power outage.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses to adaptively deliver high-definition digital entertainment and telecommunications to client devices over various networking technologies. A gateway device receives one or more services and delivers the one or more services to one or more client devices, respectively, using a plurality of networking technologies. A controller determines which among the plurality of networking technologies to use to deliver the one or more services to the one or more client devices, respectively. To make such a determination, the controller can monitor one or more conditions of the plurality of networking technologies.

Abstract: A frequency agile cable modem termination system which is configured to receive cable TV or other broadband signals on a frequency allocated basis. Cable TV headend may receive cable TV modem or other signals via optical/electrical converters and other links, and route those signals through a frequency multiplexer to divide individual feeds into separated frequency slots. The cable modem termination system may then have receivers tuned to individual slots allocated to data feeds, such as Internet, video, telephony or other sources, and route those sources over the Internet. Upon a failure condition within any given receiver or other component, a backup cable modem termination system, connected to the same common bus as the main or active system, may be rapidly activated by having backup receivers contained in that unit tuned to appropriate frequencies to pick up the signals within the corresponding band. Reliability and robustness is increased, and cabling requirements are decreased.

Abstract: An invention for detecting and suppressing bits of data present in a given communications environment. One exemplary embodiment allows the invention to suppress the signaling bits in a communications system that is using the GR-303 protocol. Another embodiment allows the invention to suppress any given bit which may be deterministically positioned for suppression. In a GR-303 environment, the invention suppresses signaling bits found to hamper older equipment that is still in service in the communications environment. The invention receives particular bit of the incoming word of data, which is compared to the particular bit of the previous word of data in the same phase (logically associated bits). If a transition or pattern is detected that indicates a specific signaling bit pattern presence, an integrator counts toward a user-defined maximum saturation value. At saturation, the invention suppresses the signaling bit that has been detected.
