  • Patent number: 10560437
    Abstract: A device may include a processor circuit configured to transmit, over a network medium, a request for transmission of a data communication to a first device of a network, and receive, over the network medium, a grant of the request. When the first device is associated with a first security profile, the processor circuit may be configured to encrypt the data communication based at least on a first password associated with the first security profile. When the first device is associated with a second security profile, the processor circuit may be configured to encrypt the data communication based at least on a second password associated with the second security profile. The second password may be associated with a higher password strength than the first password. The processor circuit may be configured to transmit, over the network medium, the encrypted data communication to the first device in response to the grant.

  • Patent number: 10237824
    Abstract: A device for power efficient networking may include a processor circuit configured to identify a time to enter a low power state. The processor circuit may be further configured to transmit, prior to the identified time, transmission parameters to a network coordinator device for a network of devices, the transmission parameters being associated with a transmission from at least one of the devices to the device. The processor circuit may be further configured to enter the low power state at the identified time. The processor circuit may be further configured to, upon exiting the low power state, receive the transmission from at least one of the devices based at least in part on the transmission parameters. The processor circuit may be further configured to receive the transmission without participating in a node admission process after exiting the low power state.

  • Publication number: 20190081749
    Abstract: A device for coordinating frequency division multiplexing transmissions over a shared transmission medium may include a processor circuit configured to receive bandwidth requests from devices for transmissions over the shared transmission medium during a time period. A first bandwidth request may correspond to a point-to-multipoint transmission over the shared transmission medium. The processor circuit may be further configured to schedule bandwidth allocations on the shared transmission medium for the time period based at least in part on the bandwidth requests, where a first bandwidth allocation that corresponds to the first point-to-multipoint transmission is scheduled during the time period prior to other bandwidth allocations. The processor circuit may be further configured to transmit, over the shared transmission medium, an indication of the bandwidth allocations.

  • Patent number: 10148798
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 9554177
    Abstract: Systems and methods for transmitting packets over a network of communication channels are provide. A system according to the invention may include first and second nodes in communication with a coax backbone. The first node may further include a retransmission buffer. The system may also include a network access coordinator operative to coordinate access of the nodes to the coax backbone. In a time period at least one first packet is transmitted by the first node to the second node. The first packet may include an indication that retransmission service is applied. The first packet may also include a indication of the length corresponding to the packet. If, during the first time period the packet is not received by the second node, the second node is operative to send a retransmission request to the network access coordinator.

  • Patent number: 9548836
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a system and method for detecting burst noise. The system and method are described in the exemplary context of a cable modem system and can be used in such a system to specifically detect upstream burst noise. Once detected, the system and method can adjust the upstream receiver that receives data corrupted by the upstream burst noise to reduce the potentially deleterious effects that the burst noise can have on, for example, the packet error rate and/or data rate of the upstream receiver.

  • Patent number: 9531619
    Abstract: A method for assessing channel performance in a network is provided. The network includes a network controller and nodes. The method preferably includes selecting a channel for assessment and allocating a first probe operation for use with the nodes. The method may also include, in response to the allocating, sending a first probe operation report message from each of the nodes to the network controller. The method may further include using the network controller to select a node to be a channel assessment operation node. In addition, the method may include selecting at least a portion of the nodes to participate in a channel assessment operation signal exchange. The method may also include moving the selected nodes to a different channel to perform a channel assessment operation on the different channel and using the channel assessment operation node to allocate a second probe operation on each of the selected nodes.

  • Patent number: 9479621
    Abstract: 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.
