Publication number: 20090092136Abstract: A system may include a processor that is arranged and configured to receive initial data packets from a data stream, to classify the initial data packets from the data stream and to populate one or more tables with information based on the classification of the initial data packets from the data stream. The system may include a bus in communication with the processor and an engine, in communication with the bus, that is arranged and configured to process subsequent data packets from the data stream using the information present in the one or more tables such that the subsequent data packets from the data stream bypass the processor.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 29, 2008Publication date: April 9, 2009Applicant: BROADCOM CORPORATIONInventors: Sean F. Nazareth, Larry Osborne, David Patrick Danielson, Leo Kaplan, Daniel John Burns, Fabian A. Gomes

Patent number: 7190704Abstract: A method for communicating information is disclosed wherein a time slot is allocated in a time division multiple access system for a transmission from a subscriber to a headend. Synchronization of a clock of the subscriber with respect to a clock of the headend is enhanced using a message transmitted from the headend to the subscriber which is indicative of an error in a subscriber transmission time with respect to the time slot. A feedback loop process is used to determine at least one of fractional symbol timing correction and carrier phase correction of a transmission from the subscriber to the headend. Filter coefficients are generated at the headend from a ranging signal transmitted from the subscriber to the headend and transmitting the filter coefficients from the headend to the subscriber, the filter coefficients being used by the subscriber to compensate for noise in a transmission from the subscriber to the headend.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 2004Date of Patent: March 13, 2007Assignee: Broadcom CorporationInventors: Theodore F. Rabenko, James C. H. Thi, John D. Horton, Jr., Thomas J. Quigley, Lisa V. Denney, Jonathan S. Min, Christopher R. Jones, Henry Samueli, Fang Lu, Feng Chen, Sean F. Nazareth

Patent number: 7139283Abstract: A number of features for enhancing the performance of a cable transmission system in which data is transmitted between a cable modem termination system at a headend and a plurality of cable modems located different distances from the headend. The power transmission level, slot timing, and equalization of the cable modems are set by a ranging process. Data is transmitted by the modems in fragmented form. Various measures are taken to make transmission from the cable modems robust. The upstream data transmission is controlled to permit multiple access from the cable modems.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2001Date of Patent: November 21, 2006Assignee: Broadcom CorporationInventors: Thomas J.
