Abstract: In a method of scheduling frames, a first channel of a plurality of channels is selected for a first frame. The first frame is sent across a media-independent interface to a physical-layer device for transmission on the first channel. A data rate of the media-independent interface is greater than a data rate of the physical-layer device for the first channel. After the first frame is sent across the media-independent interface, subsequent sending of frames for the first channel across the media-independent interface is disabled for a period of time that is based at least in part on rate adaption from the data rate of the media-independent interface to the data rate of the physical-layer device for the first channel.

Abstract: A method of registering a coax network unit (CNU) in a network is performed at an optical-coax unit (OCU). In the method, a first discovery message is broadcasted to a plurality of CNUs. In response, a first registration request is received from a first CNU of the plurality of CNUs. In response to the first registration request, a proxy entity corresponding to the first CNU is implemented in the OCU. A second discovery message is received from an optical line terminal (OLT). In response to the second discovery message, a second registration request is transmitted to the OLT requesting registration of the proxy entity with the OLT.

Abstract: A network device includes a plurality of physical-media entities (PMEs), each corresponding to a distinct channel, to generate transmit signals based on transmit packets received over a media-independent interface. The network device also includes a channel-bonding sublayer to direct the transmit packets from the media-independent interface to respective PMEs of the plurality of PMEs. The channel-bonding sublayer has a substantially fixed delay between the media-independent interface and the plurality of PMEs for the transmit packets.

Abstract: A method is performed in a communication device that includes one or more media access control (MAC) entities, a coax physical layer (PHY), and a media-independent interface coupling the one or more MAC entities with the coax PHY. In the method, a bitstream is generated that includes data frames and characters corresponding to time windows in which the coax PHY does not transmit signals. The bitstream is provided to the coax PHY through the media-independent interface. Signals corresponding to the data frames are transmitted from the coax PHY during a transmit mode. The coax PHY enters a receive mode when the bitstream contains the characters corresponding to the time windows.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for priority based management of the connections between a device and a network are described herein. In some aspects, a device may include multiple applications with different access priorities. As a result of a mobility event, such as change in location or resuming operation after an idle period, the device may be configured to transmit a signal indicating its status. The signal may include an access priority value. Various methods and systems for determining an access priority value for devices configured to support one or more access priorities are described.

Abstract: A coax line terminal (CLT) transmits allocations of upstream bandwidth to a plurality of coax network units (CNUs). In response to the allocations, the CLT receives frames with data in a plurality of physical resource blocks that each correspond to a distinct set of subcarriers. The plurality of physical resource blocks includes a first group of physical resource blocks that all have a first constant allowed capacity. Sizes and modulation orders of respective physical resource blocks in the first group vary as defined by a first modulation profile. The data in the first group are received from one or more CNUs that are assigned the first modulation profile.
