    Abstract: Functionality for secure client authentication and service authorization in a shared communication network are disclosed. A managing network device of a communication network causes a securely connected client network device to perform an account authorization process with an accounting network device in parallel with a service matching process with the managing network device and one or more service providers of the communication network. The managing network device executes the service matching process and securely matches the client network device with one of the service providers. The accounting network device executes the account authorizing process with the client network device and provides a service voucher to the managing network device authorizing one or more of the service providers to service the client network device. The managing network device transmits the service voucher to the matched service provider to prompt the matched service provider to service the client network device.

    Abstract: Associating service agents in communication over a network to one or more respective clients coupled to the network at respective ports of the network is described. At a first service agent, a first signal is received from a first client coupled to the network at a first port. The first signal propagates over a first signal propagation path between the first service agent and the first port. An association between the first service agent and the first client is established based at least in part on a difference between: the first signal propagation path between the first service agent and the first port, and a second signal propagation path between the first service agent and a second port or between a second service agent and the first port.

    Abstract: Communicating among stations in a network includes, from each of multiple stations in the network, transmitting information indicating which other stations from which that station is able to reliably receive transmissions. A schedule for communicating among the stations is determined based on the information from the stations and the schedule is transmitted over the network using a beacon. The schedule includes a plurality of time slots during which respective sets of stations are assigned to communicate using a contention-based protocol. What is disclosed is particularly useful in Broadband Powerline Networks (BPLN) having a headend station (HE) and a number of repeater stations (Rl to R8).

    Abstract: Communicating over a network of communication stations includes monitoring for reception of an electromagnetic wave that has a power above a threshold and a frequency in a predetermined frequency interval, and selecting carrier frequencies for modulating information onto signals transmitted over the network. The carrier frequencies are selected based at least in part on whether an electromagnetic wave having a power above the threshold and a frequency in the frequency interval has been received in a predetermined time interval, and based at least in part on a demand by one or more stations in the network for capacity for communicating over the network.

    Abstract: A powerline communication (PLC) network can be subject to noise/interference resulting in loss of throughput and data corruption for PLC devices connected to the PLC network. A powerline interference analyzer can be implemented in the PLC network for detecting sources of the noise. The powerline interference analyzer can determine powerline network noise characteristics that are representative of noise on the PLC network and can analyze the powerline network noise characteristics to determine one or more noise patterns. The noise patterns can be compared with a plurality of predefined noise signatures that are representative of corresponding each of a plurality of noise sources. Consequently, at least one noise source that is associated with the noise patterns can be identified from the plurality of the noise sources.

    Abstract: Information is modulated onto frequency components of a signal. The resulting modulated signal includes at least some redundancy in frequency enabling a portion of the information modulated onto selected frequency components to be recovered from fewer than all of the selected frequency components. Controlling the spectrum of the modulated signal includes enabling the amplitude of at least some frequency components of the modulated signal to be set below a predetermined amplitude used for modulating the information.

    Abstract: A powerline network may comprise powerline communication (PLC) devices of a first class of PLC devices that are incompatible with PLC devices of a second class of PLC devices. This can result in interference between communications of the first and the second classes of PLC devices. A dual mode PLC device that is compatible with the first and the second classes of PLC devices can be implemented for coexistence with both classes of PLC devices. The dual mode PLC device can determine whether the powerline network comprises a combination of PLC devices of the first and the second classes of PLC devices. One of a plurality of packet headers that is compatible with both the classes of PLC devices can be selected for transmission in response to determining that the powerline network comprises a combination of PLC devices of the first and the second classes of PLC devices.
