  • Patent number: 11943683
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media described herein can be operable to facilitate location determination, communications with an AFC system, configuring operational parameters in response to an identification of active 6 GHz paths, and timing distribution and low-latency services. Methods, systems, and computer readable media are described herein for implementing and improving use of automated frequency coordination (AFC), operational deployment of the 6 GHz band for unlicensed devices, and use of the 6 GHz band for low-latency services, timing distribution, and QoS.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20230275843
    Abstract: Systems and methods for relaying a plurality of data packets to and from a subscriber over an access network that imparts a variable latency of one packet relative to other packets. The latency of each packet is controlled so as to increase the average latency experienced by the plurality of packets and decrease the variance of the respective latencies experienced by each of the packets.

  • Patent number: 9479352
    Abstract: A packet data flow processor applies a first level of Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS) processing to packet flows that are not from trusted sources, and applies a second level of DOCSIS processing, simpler than the first level, to packet flows from the trusted sources.

  • Publication number: 20050123001
    Abstract: A device receives packets associated with a program stream at an addressable communications port, and assigns them to one of a plurality of QAM channels. Multiplexed program packets, DOCSIS data or multimedia packets or a combination of both, are transmitted over the QAM channel. DSG messaging transports requests for content to a server, transports queries to mapping tables and returns information from the tables to a manager that, along with processors, determine which channel to use for downstream transport of the multiplexed streams. The manager assigns a connection identifier corresponding to a channel and program number combination to the packets, and sends the identifier, via DSG, to the requesting/receiving user device; the identifier instructs the user device how to tune and receive the requested packets. The identifier may use seven bits for program numbers, two for output port number and two for channel frequency.
