摘要:
Methods, systems, and computer-readable media can facilitate digitizing a broadcast transmission and transporting the digitized broadcast transmission along with one or more digitized narrowcast transmissions to a subscriber. In embodiments, a digitized broadcast transmission and one or more digitized narrowcast transmissions can be separately demodulated and the transmissions can be combined at one or more receiving nodes. In embodiments, a digitized broadcast transmission can be combined with one or more digitized narrowcast transmissions. Lossless compression and de-compression techniques can be used to optimally transport digitized broadcast and narrowcast signals.

Methods, systems, and computer readable media can be operable to facilitate the remote modulation of pre-transformed data. In embodiments, a CMTS can provide pre-transformed data in the frequency domain to a transmitter or receiver. Multiple network components can be bypassed when pre-transformed data is delivered directly to a transmitter or receiver, thus improving the amount of network capacity and available network resources. In embodiments, pre-transformed data can be transformed and modulated at a receiver.

The methods, systems, and apparatuses described in this disclosure enable the use of pluggable optics such that two outgoing connections or two incoming connections can support the use of dual transmitter optics and/or dual receiver optics. The forward and/or reverse capacity of an optical network can be doubled using two transmitters and/or receivers operating in parallel. In embodiments, forward and/or reverse capacity of an optical network can be doubled using a double capacity transmitter or receiver that is operable to combine two or more electrical signals into a single optical signal. A pluggable can support two transmitting or two receiving optical links, and can also support a double capacity transmitting or receiving optical link.

An OBI manager provides the reduction/elimination of optical beat interference (OBI). As will be described in more detail below, the OBI manager identifies OBI partners through an identification process performed via an RFoG network. An OBI partner may be two optical networking units (ONUs) that may interfere with one another when transmitting in the same time slot. Once the OBI partners are identified, the OBI manager may perform a mitigation process to mitigate possible OBI. For example, the OBI manager may organize the OBI partners to reduce OBI, such as by guaranteeing no OBI partners transmit at the same time.

摘要:
A module for a hybrid fiber coax network includes a quad-output amplifier module that can include a port to couple to upstream devices, four ports to couple to downstream devices, and a configured port. The configured port can optionally couple to one of a radio frequency (RF) pre-amplifier or one or more optical transmitter modules or receiver modules. The module is initially provided in a default configuration as an optical node module. However, it can be pre-configured as a RF amplifier. When the configured port is coupled to the one or more optical transmitter modules or receiver modules in the default configuration, the module is operable as an optical node module. When the configured port is coupled to the RF pre-amplifier, the module is transformed to be operable as an RF amplifier.

Particular embodiments use aggregation logic that reduces the noise in a daisy-chained optical return signal aggregation of multiple nodes. The aggregation logic determines when an input to a transmitter/receiver is not used and disables or turns off that input. Further, in the case of daisy-chaining, a service group aggregation signal (e.g., RF signals) from the customer premise equipment (CPEs) serviced by a respective node are presented to the channel “A” port of a digital return transmitter/receiver. However, internal to the transmitter/receiver, aggregation logic auto-senses what optical return signals have already been aggregated up to that point in the daisy chain and can then intelligently place the service group aggregation signal onto one of the digital return transmitter channels. In one embodiment, if there are two return channels, A and B, whichever of these channels has seen fewer aggregations up to this point, will receive the service group aggregation signal.
摘要:
A transmitter, using frequency sub-band coding, can output a plurality of narrowcast and/or broadcast signals to a plurality of sub-groups or nodes along a single optical link. The transmitter can output the plurality of signals as multiple slices of spectrum, wherein each slice of spectrum is designated for a particular sub-group or node. The transmitter can further instruct each receiver or node as to which slice of spectrum to use and at which frequency to output the associated signal information to its intended subscribers. Thus, a single transmitter can feed narrowcast information to multiple nodes or receivers along a single optical link. In embodiments, channels can be monitored and manipulated on a channel-by-channel basis, and channels delivered using different network solutions can be combined.
摘要:
A radio frequency over glass (RFoG) system may be modified to extend a downstream band. A transimpedance amplifier with a downstream path may be used in the RFoG system in combination with an upstream path having greater than 200 MHz radio frequency (RF) bandwidth to provide the greater than 1.2 GHz downstream bandwidth overlapping with the greater than 200 MHz upstream bandwidth.The RFoG system may include a gateway facilitating an optical network unit and modem connection, the gateway having an express upstream port and an express downstream radio frequency (RF) port. The gateway may be configured for processing legacy RFoG signals in an upstream and a downstream direction and for at least one of generating or processing, via the express ports on the modem, RFoG signals in an extended spectrum beyond 42 MHz in the upstream direction and beyond 1000 MHz in the downstream direction.
