Abstract: Different data communication architectures deliver a wide variety of content, including audio and video content, to consumers. The architectures employ channel bonding to deliver more bandwidth than any single communication channel can carry. In some implementations, the communication architectures distribute video programming across the communication channels in the bonded channel group based on the dependency of the video data.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems, apparatuses, and methods for monitoring the frequency spectrum of signals transmitted by a PLC device over a PLC network to detect and correct potential EMC regulation violations due to intermodulation (IMD) products created by the interaction of the transmitted signals with one or more non-linear devices on the PLC network. Once an IMD issue is detected, the systems, apparatuses, and methods can reduce the injected power of signals transmitted by the PLC device at the frequencies (or range of frequencies) that result in a EMC regulation violation. In addition, the systems, apparatuses, and methods can reduce the injected power of signals transmitted by the PLC device at all times or during times that the non-linear devices are interacting and generating IMD products.

Abstract: A device for providing electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection includes circuitry configured to detect an occurrence of an ESD event at one or more voltage rails. An ESD clamp is activated via a clamp triggering path to provide a discharge path for an ESD current. A gate voltage of the ESD clamp is maintained greater than a predetermined threshold via a holding path in parallel with the clamp triggering path.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a network processor for processing high volumes of traffic provided by todays access networks at (or near) wireline speeds. The network process can be implemented within a residential gateway to perform, among other functions, routing to deliver high speed data services (e.g., data services with rates up to 10 Gbit/s) from a wide area network (WAN) to end user devices in a local area network (LAN).

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for video coding using signaling syntax and pixel predictions. The signaling syntax used for encoding and decoding video data is organized into multiple syntax groups based at least in part on the syntax type. The video data is coded plane by plane. The video data in each plane is coded in an order such that processing inter-prediction is prior to intra-prediction.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides an apparatus and method for measuring echo responses of communication links used in in-vehicle networks with high resolution and high dynamic range, allowing for diagnostics of various failures and/or degradations with high precision. Additional information can be provided to indicate signaling quality, insertion loss, and return loss of the communication links used in in-vehicle networks. Together, these measures and information can provide a comprehensive diagnostic capability that improves network reliability and safety of in-vehicle networks.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for reducing latency in coordinated networks are provided. The apparatus and methods relate to a protocol that may be referred to as the Persistent Reservation Request (“p-RR”), which may be viewed as a type of RR (reservation request). p-RR's may reduce latency, on average, to one MAP cycle or less. A p-RR may be used to facilitate Ethernet audiovisual bridging. Apparatus and methods of the invention may be used in connection with coaxial cable based networks that serve as a backbone for a managed network, which may interface with a package switched network.

Abstract: A wireless communication device (alternatively, device) includes a communication interface and a processor, among other possible circuitries, components, elements, etc. to support communications with other wireless communication device(s) and to generate and process signals for such communications. A device is configured to generate various orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) and/or orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) packets (e.g., frames, signals, etc.) that are based on any of a group of set of OFDM/A frame structures. Across the various OFDM/A frame structures, the ratio of pilot sub-carriers to data sub-carriers across resource units (RUs) of decreases as the total number of sub-carriers across the RUs increases. In addition, some of the OFDM/A frame structures include different total number of sub-carriers yet same number of pilot sub-carriers. The device is configured to perform adaptation among and between the various OFDM/A frame structures based on any one or more considerations.

Abstract: A programmable cell includes a split gate structure. The split gate structure includes a thin gate dielectric region and a thick gate dielectric region disposed below a gate conductor. A thickness of the thick oxide region is more than a thickness of the thin oxide region. The programmable cell can be fabricated using angle doping to dope an area associated with the thin dielectric region.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses are described for improving the signal integrity of a differential pair of signals by mitigating a non-balanced channel deficiency. For example, signal integrity may be improved by independently shaping and/or independently controlling the slopes (e.g., the rising edge and/or falling edge) of each signal of a differential pair of signals to counteract the effects caused by non-balanced deficiencies to provide a balanced differential pair of signals (i.e., signals having symmetrical impedances, loads, etc.).
