Abstract:
A network device includes a plurality of physical-media entities (PMEs), each corresponding to a distinct channel, to generate transmit signals based on transmit packets received over a media-independent interface. The network device also includes a channel-bonding sublayer to direct the transmit packets from the media-independent interface to respective PMEs of the plurality of PMEs. The channel-bonding sublayer has a substantially fixed delay between the media-independent interface and the plurality of PMEs for the transmit packets.
Abstract:
A physical-layer device includes a first sublayer to receive a first continuous bitstream from a media-independent interface and to provide a second continuous bitstream to the media-independent interface. The physical-layer device also includes a second sublayer to transmit first signals corresponding to the first continuous bitstream onto an external link during a first plurality of time windows and to receive second signals corresponding to the second continuous bitstream from the external link during a second plurality of time windows. The second plurality of time windows is distinct from the first plurality of time windows.
Abstract:
Successive pairs of OFDM symbols are transmitted by an OFDM transmitter and received by an OFDM receiver. The successive pairs include a first pair of OFDM symbols. First and second OFDM symbols of the first pair both include pilot symbols on two subcarriers that are symmetric about a center carrier frequency. The two subcarriers are the same for the first and second OFDM symbols. The pilot symbols on the two subcarriers for the first and second OFDM symbols compose an orthogonal matrix. The OFDM receiver estimates frequency responses at frequencies including the frequencies of the two subcarriers and compensates for signal impairment based at least in part on the estimated frequency responses.
Abstract:
A method of registering a coax network unit (CNU) in a network is performed at an optical-coax unit (OCU). In the method, a first discovery message is broadcasted to a plurality of CNUs. In response, a first registration request is received from a first CNU of the plurality of CNUs. In response to the first registration request, a proxy entity corresponding to the first CNU is implemented in the OCU. A second discovery message is received from an optical line terminal (OLT). In response to the second discovery message, a second registration request is transmitted to the OLT requesting registration of the proxy entity with the OLT.
Abstract:
Techniques for the management, configuration, and control of network coded communications in a wireless network are disclosed herein. In one approach, there is provided an example method operable by an evolved Node B (eNB) or the like. The method may involve grouping a plurality of user equipments (UEs) into a network coding group. The method may involve associating the plurality of UEs in the network coding group with a network coding group identifier. The method may involve sending a data transmission for select UEs in the network coding group using the network coding group identifier. The data transmission may include additional downlink control information related to one or more of the UEs in the network coding group.
