Abstract:
A coordinator for coordinating the use of a physical layer between a first network operating using a first network protocol and a second network operating using a second network protocol different from the first network protocol, the network protocols being non-interoperable and supporting centralized management of nodes by a master device in each network respectively, including a receiver, a transmitter, a coordinator first network type device (CNTD1) and a coordinator second network type device (CNTD2), both coupled with the receiver and the transmitter, and a synchronizer and coordinator (SAC) coupled with the CNTD1 and CNTD2, the SAC including a required resources determinator, for determining the required resources of both networks for the next transmission cycle and for providing the required resources of one network to the other, wherein the master device of one network allocates resources to the other network and vice-versa.
Abstract:
A communication system is provided. It comprises a central office (CO) of a communication service provider and at least one subscriber premise (SP), each SP being linked to a CO by a subscriber-associated communication line comprising a twisted pair of telephone lines, and at least one xDSL modem in the CO coupled to said subscriber-associated communication line. Each SP has a plurality of communication devices, which comprises one or more telephone devices connected to the communication line and at least one network DSL (NDSL) modem associated with a computerized device, the NDSL modem being connected to said communication line; each of said modems having an upstream transmitter and a downstream receiver for communication with the CO and an upstream transmitter and an upstream receiver for communication with other NDSL modems within the SP. Provided is also a novel NDSL modem for use in the above system.
Abstract:
Analog HPNA hub including at least one group of coils, the coils inducing HPNA signals there between, a plurality of filters, each of the filters coupled with a respective one of the coils and further coupled, via respective telephone wiring, with at least a respective HPNA node, wherein each of the filters enables transmission of HPNA data signals there through, and wherein each of the filters prevents transmission of conventional telephony signals there through.
Abstract:
Communications method including the procedures of modulating a second generation carrier signal, with a first generation Baseband bandwidth signal, when transmitting to first generation devices, and, modulating the second generation carrier signal, with a second generation Baseband bandwidth signal, when transmitting to second generation devices, wherein the first generation Baseband bandwidth signal, is shaped so as to recreate a first generation signal, when up-sampled and modulated with a second generation carrier signal.
Abstract:
HPNA MxU network for an MxU, the MxU including a plurality of HPNA LANs, each of the HPNA LANs operating according to a synchronous communication specification. Each of the HPNA LANs includes a plurality of nodes, one of the nodes within each HPNA LAN being a gateway node, a selected one of the nodes within each HPNA LAN being defined a LAN-master node and each HPNA LAN is coupled with a WAN via the respective gateway node. The LAN-master nodes allow the gateway nodes to transmit within a selected HPNA LAN downstream signals during at least one time slot, and the LAN-master nodes allow the nodes other than the gateway nodes to transmit upstream signals within a selected HPNA LAN to the respective gateway or transmit HN signals within a selected HPNA LAN, between nodes other than the respective gateway nodes during at least another timeslot.
