Patent number: 7173944Abstract: A digital subscriber line (DSL) communication system that utilizes the high frequency band of a standard telephone line does not require the use of a plain old telephone service (POTS) splitter in the resident's home, which provided isolation between the POTS frequency band (0 to 4 kHz) and the DSL frequency band. A digital subscriber line modem utilizes either constant envelope modulation or quadrature amplitude modulation for outputting DSL signals upstream to a central office. When a telephone in the resident's home is detected as being off-hook, then the constant envelope modulation is used by the DSL modem in order to lessen the intermodulation product distortion that results in audible noise heard by a user of the telephone. When the telephone is on-hook, then another type of modulation, such as QAM, is used to maximize the upstream data rate capability in the DSL frequency band, since any noise generated by the QAM is not a problem due to the non-use of the POTS frequency band.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2000Date of Patent: February 6, 2007Assignee: Conexant Systems, Inc.Inventors: Kenneth D.

Patent number: 7126983Abstract: A communication system for a computer includes apparatuses and methods for providing commands and data between a host computer and a multi-channel modem via a single host-to-modem physical channel using multiple logical channels. The communication system suitably includes a logical channel upon which each modem receives command data. Signals asserted on the logical channel corresponding to commands for a particular physical channel are automatically treated as commands. Signals on noncommand logical channels are processed as data to be transferred. Consequently, each physical channel of the modem may be controlled without requiring an escape sequence.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 1999Date of Patent: October 24, 2006Assignee: Silicon Laboratories Inc.Inventors: Joel D.

Patent number: 7089334Abstract: A intelligent network interface network port (INIP) is provided that enables a visiting computer to be connected to a local area network (LAN), even though the LAN is not configured to support the visiting computer. Upon detecting one of several specific types of messages, the INIP modifies the message, retransmits the modified message and notifies the visiting computer that the INIP is the appropriate target for the message, thus acting as a relay point between the visiting computer and other devices both on the LAN and accessible through it. This enables the visiting computer to transparently connect to a LAN that is not configured to support it.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2000Date of Patent: August 8, 2006Assignee: Mindspeed Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Joel D.

Patent number: 7050782Abstract: A system and method for performing power management in a communication system without losing data is disclosed. The G.Lite system is an exemplary system suitable for implementing the present invention because it includes at least one operational state and an idle state in which no data is transmitted. The G.Lite standard defines ATU states. The defined states are full on state L0, low power state L1 and idle state L3. In L0 state, the ADSL link is fully operational at full data rate. In L1 state, the ADSL link is fully operational at a lower data rate. In L3 state, no signal is transmitted. Because no signal is transmitted, no idle cells are transmitted. This will result in losing the cell delineation and ATM link connectivity. Therefore, when data is received for an ATU in L3 state, data cells may be lost.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2002Date of Patent: May 23, 2006Assignee: Mindspeed Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Abdelnaser M.

Patent number: 7020159Abstract: Methods and systems for matching the communication protocol of a calling device with one of a plurality of communication protocols supported by an answering device are provided. Initially, a predetermined amount of data is received and buffered in a memory component. Following, an analysis is performed to match the received data with one of the communication protocols supported by the answering device. Communication protocols that can be detected and matched include, for example, the V.110, V.120 and ISDN protocols. During the buffering and analyzing steps, a predetermined data pattern such as mark idle can be transmitted to the calling device. Thereafter, the answering device is configured to answer the call according to the protocol matched in the analyzing step. A timer can be utilized to limit the period for matching to a predetermined length, after which time the answering device can be configured to answer the call in analog mode.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2001Date of Patent: March 28, 2006Assignee: Mindspeed Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Joel D.

Patent number: 6993010Abstract: A local communication layer is placed in communication with a remote communication layer via a communication link established between a local modem and a remote modem. The communication layers may, for instance, be PPP layers. The communication is then interrupted, for example, by being temporarily paused or being placed on hold. In one scenario, the communication is placed on hold by the remote modem, as a result of a call-waiting alert received by the remote modem. After the communication has been placed on hold, the local modem monitors PPP frames from the local PPP layer and spoofs the local PPP layer by way of responses to the local PPP layer requests as if such responses were made by the remote PPP layer.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2000Date of Patent: January 31, 2006Assignee: Mindspeed Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Joel D.
