    摘要： A synchronizer circuit manages signals in different clock domains by generating clock pulses synchronized with a system clock. The clock pulses are generated at a rate proportional to the frequency of a clock operating in a first clock domain. Digital circuitry is then driven at the frequency of the first clock and in the time domain of the system clock. A hand-shaking protocol prevents the synchronizer circuit from going into a metastable condition when passing clock or data signals into different time domains. A programmable digital filter includes multiple sampling stages that sample an input signal. A detection circuit has inputs coupled to the outputs of the multiple sampling stages and changes the logic state of an output signal when no glitches are detected in the samples of the input signal. A control circuit selectively varies a time period used by the filter for sampling the input signal.

    摘要： An M-CMTS compatible UEQAM device implements circuitry to identify and analyze MAP message in the data stream sent from the M-CMTS Core with respect to timing information embedded in those messages. The improved UEQAM will then create a specific message as an extension to DEPI to communicate that information to the M-CMTS Core. The M-CMTS Core will employ that analysis to automatically adjust MAP message advance time to reduce delay and thus improve system performance. This invention will provide a closed-loop between the M-CMTS Core and the UEQAM where valuable transmission information will periodically be fed back from UEQAM-to-M-CMTS Core in real-time.

    摘要： A modular Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS) includes a packet shelf operating a Data Over Cable Service Interface Specifications (DOCSIS) Media Access Control (MAC) framer. One or more downstream Physical Interface (PHY) shelves receive DOCSIS data from the packet shelf over a packet switched network and modulate the DOCSIS data for sending on a downstream path of a cable plant. One or more upstream PHY shelves send DOCSIS data received from an upstream path of the cable plant over the packet switched network to the packet shelf. By separating the PHY components from the MAC and from the system software, the PHY components for a Hybrid Fiber Coax (HFC) plant may be replaced with different PHY components for other access technologies such as wireless, Digital Subscriber Lines (DSL), Ethernet-to-the-Home, Fiber-to-the-Home, or fiber Passive Optical Networks (PONs).

    摘要： A dynamic channel change technique is disclosed which may be implemented between nodes and a Head End of an access network. Initially a network device may communicate with the Head End via a first downstream channel and a first upstream channel. When the network device receives a dynamic channel change request which includes instructions for the network device to switch to a second downstream channel, the network device may respond by switching from the first downstream channel to the second downstream channel. Thereafter, the network device may communicate with the Head End via the second downstream channel and first upstream channel. Further, according to a specific embodiment, the dynamic channel change request may also include an upstream channel change request for causing the network device to switch from a first upstream channel to a second upstream channel.

    摘要： A master clock reference signal may be provided to selected packet fiber nodes in order to synchronize the local clock reference signals generated at selected devices in a cable network. In this way, selected portions of the cable network may be synchronized to a common timing reference signal. Additionally, synchronized timestamp information may also be provided to selected network devices in order to achieve synchronization of timestamps across a selected portion of the cable network.
