Patent number: 10148798Abstract: A communication device is configured to support communications with other devices using a physical layer (PHY)/MAC interface (PMI) protocol. For example, a first device that includes PHY component(s) may be located remotely with respect to one or more other entities that manage and control it. In one example, a second device generates (core receives from another device) a MAC message that is based on the PMI protocol and generates a PHY message based thereon. This first device and then transmits the PHY message to the first device for use by the first device to configure PHY operational parameter(s). Generally, different messages are communicated between devices based on the PMI protocol. The first device, which may generally be referred to as a remote PHY device (RPD), can be managed and controlled by one or more other devices located separately therefrom.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2015Date of Patent: December 4, 2018Assignee: Avago Technologies International Sales Pte.

Patent number: 9479621Abstract: Embodiments include systems and methods for enabling a physical layer (PHY) link signaling channel between a network termination modem and a cable modem in a cable network. The PHY link signaling channel is embedded within the same multi-carrier channel as the data and enables PHY link up between the network termination modem and cable modern without involvement of higher layers (e.g., MAC). The PHY link signaling channel can be implemented in the downstream (from the network termination modem to the cable modem(s)) or in the upstream from a cable modem to the network termination modem. Embodiments are applicable to any known cable network, and particularly to cable networks implementing the DOCSIS and EPoC standards.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2015Date of Patent: October 25, 2016Assignee: Broadcom CorporationInventors: Avi Kliger, Yitshak Ohana, Niki Pantelias, Leo Montreuil, Jonathan S.
