摘要:
Systems, methods, and apparatus for providing broadband communication are described. A service gateway may be situated outside of one or more households. The service gateway may include a termination component and a broadband modem. The termination component may be configured to connect to a source of a broadband data signal and receive the signal from the source. The broadband modem may be configured to receive the signal from the termination component and output at least a portion of the signal for receipt by a remote device situated within a household. Additionally, the service gateway may optionally include a router in communication with the broadband modem. The router may be configured to function as an intermediary between the modem and the remote device.

Configuration or otherwise controlling parameters of a Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) system related to power, band usage and margin is based on collected operational data. Operational data are collected from at least one DSL system operating under a known configuration and/or a profile. A target profile is selected based on binder-level information. The collected operational data is analyzed and conditions for changing the DSL system configuration to the target profile are evaluated, including any applicable transition rules pertaining to changing profiles. If the conditions hold, then the DSL system is instructed to operate with the target profile. Binder-level information can include deployment point information, topology information, and/or crosstalk coupling information. The controlled parameters may have values that are chosen using one or more spectrum balancing methods. Such spectrum balancing methods may be executed infrequently, and may make use of all binder-level information that is available.

Example distributed DSLAMs to increase bandwidth in access networks are disclosed. An example DSLAM comprises a first distribution cable segment to couple an SAI to a first pedestal and to transport user data, a second distribution cable segment to couple the first pedestal to a second pedestal and to transport a first portion of the user data from the first pedestal to the second pedestal, the second cable segment comprising a pair of DSL-based signals bonded together, a drop cable to couple the first pedestal to a customer premises and to transport a second portion of the user data to the customer premises, and a switch at the first pedestal to route the first portion of the user data between the first and second cable segments and to route the second portion of the user data between the first cable segment and the drop cable.
摘要:
A test system couples various ports of one or more CPE devices to components mounted in a rigid mounting system. The system can test the line card portion of the CPE devices coupled to line card interface equipment for various parameters. Variable RF attenuation in RF interface equipment can adjust power levels to/from the RF port of the CPE devices to account for close proximity and variations between different vendors and models, which are coupled via the RF interface equipment to an included CMTS. Network interface equipment tests network port performance of the CPE devices by coupling a general purpose computer thereto. Switching one of a plurality of CPE devices to be the only one tested at a time and switching an addition RENLOAD is controlled by a provisioning server based on criteria including information in a database of various parameters of the particular device being tested.
摘要:
According to one embodiment of the invention, a method for self-testing a portion of a line card having a digital signal processor for manipulating data received by the line card, and a transmit channel and a receive channel coupled to a combined transmit and receive channel includes transmitting a test signal through at least a portion of the transmit channel toward the combined channel and detecting, by the digital signal processor any resulting signal in the receive channel to determine whether any components in the transmit channel, receive channel or combined channel are malfunctioning.
摘要:
A system and method for splitting and combining signal in a Cable Modem Terminal Station (CMTS). This system uses a hierarchal approach to connect RF modules to PHY modules. A first splitter and combiner connects each N input in a module to each of N outputs. Each of Nth output is then connected to a Nth second splitter/combiner which in turn connects each input to each output.

摘要:
A converged small cell communication system includes a mobile network core, a data over cable service interface specification (DOCSIS) core, and a common policy platform for managing a service flow of a user equipment within a communication vicinity of the small cell communication system. The mobile network core includes a policy engine and a packet data network gateway (PGW). The DOCSIS core includes a packetcable multimedia (PCMM) unit having a policy server and an application manager, and a cable modem termination system (CMTS).
摘要:
A diplexer filter having an upstream port, a downstream port and a Cable connector port forms a first transfer function for a first radio frequency (RF) signal that is coupled from the upstream port to the Cable connector port and a second transfer function for a second RF signal that is coupled from the Cable connector port to the downstream port. It includes a first filter (F1) when the first transfer function is applied and a second filter (F2) when the first transfer function is applied. A third filter (F3) coupled via a switch for selectively coupling said third filter to combine a transfer function of the third port with a transfer function of the first filter, when the Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS) 3.1 is selected, and for selectively coupling the third filter to combine the transfer function of the third filter with a transfer function of the second filter, when the DOCSIS 3.0 is selected.
