摘要： Linear distortion and interference estimation using decision feedback equalizer coefficients. Processing of different respective groups of equalizer coefficients may be made to determine the residual frequency response of an equalizer and/or device in which the equalizer is implemented. Such an equalizer may be in woman within any of a number of respective communication devices including those operative within satellite, wireless, wired, fiber-optic, and/or mobile communication systems. A first group of equalizer coefficients corresponds to certain filtering characteristics of the equalizer and/or device in which the equalizer is implemented. The equalizer is implemented to process a signal to generate a second group of equalizer coefficients. Processing and/or analysis of the first group of equalizer coefficients and the second group of equalizer coefficients will generate a third group of equalizer coefficients corresponding to the residual frequency response of the equalizer and/or device in which the equalizer is implemented.

摘要： Signal detection for optical transmitters in networks with optical combining. Presented herein is a multi-faceted means for performing electrical to optical conversion such as in an optical transmitter as implemented within a communication system including at least some optical communication links therein. The turning on and turning off of a light source (e.g., a laser diode (LD), a light emitting diode (LED), and/or other component that performs electrical to optical conversion) is performed in accordance with a number of operational parameters. Some communication systems include multiple optical links (e.g., multiple fiber-optic links) from multiple transmitters that connect to a common receiver. In addition, some optical transmitters include multiple electrical links (e.g., multiple electrical communication links) from multiple communication devices that connect thereto.

摘要： Apparatus is provided for communicating data packets in variable length bursts over a physical layer in a multilayer data communication scheme. Each burst contains information data (40, 50, 60, 64, 74, 78, 82) and overhead (30, 32, 34, 36, 38, 42, 44, 62, 66, 76, 80, 84). The overhead includes forward error control (FEC) data (42, 62, 66, 76, 80, 84). Different burst modes (FIG. 2, 3, 4, 5) are provided to enable a trade-off to be made between bandwidth efficiency and data transmission robustness. The burst modes provide different combinations of modulation (such as QPSK and 16-QAM), symbol rates, FEC coding levels and frame and preamble structure. The apparatus is particularly suitable for use in upstream communications over hybrid fiber coax cable television plants.

摘要： A method, system and computer program product in a wireless gateway to provide secured communications over a wireless network and a wired network is provided herein. The method includes the steps of receiving a first authentication credential from a wireless device and mapping the first authentication credential to a second authentication credential. The method further includes transmitting the second authentication credential to an authentication server and receiving a first authentication response from the authentication server. The method also includes generating a first shared secret and a second shared secret if the first authentication response indicates that authentication is successful and transmitting a second authentication response to the wireless device. The first shared secret is used to setup a first secured channel for communications with a service provider over a wired network and the second shared secret is used to setup a second secured channel for communications with the wireless device.

摘要： A method for increasing upstream bandwidth per cable modem user in a cable communications system that includes a cable modem termination system (CMTS) and a plurality of cable modems is provided. The method permits a cable modem to transmit data to the CMTS on multiple upstream channels simultaneously using a technique called “channel bonding.” Channel bonding allows smaller bandwidth upstream channels to be bonded together to create a larger bandwidth pipe.
