Abstract: An array based communications system may comprise a plurality of element processors. Each element processor may comprise a combining circuit, a crest factor circuit, and a phase shifter circuit. The combining circuit may produce a weighted sum of a plurality of digital datastreams. The crest factor circuit may be operable to determine whether the weighted sum has a power above or below a power threshold. If the power is above the power threshold, the crest factor circuit is operable to reduce the power. If the power is below the power threshold, the crest factor circuit is operable to increase the power. The phase shifter circuit may introduce a phase shift to out-of-band components of the weighted sum according to the power increase or the power decrease by the crest factor circuit.

Abstract: Methods and systems for cross-protocol time synchronization may comprise, for example, in a premises-based network, receiving a signal that conforms to a data over cable service interface specification (DOCSIS) communications protocol. A global time of day (GTOD) clock may be extracted from the received signal. Communication on the premises-based network in accordance with a multimedia over cable alliance (MoCA) communications protocol may be synchronized based at least in part on the extracted GTOD clock. Communication in a third communications protocol may be synchronized, wherein the third communications protocol may include a home phoneline networking alliance (HPNA) standard, an IEEE 802.11x standard, and a non-public wireless network protocol. The extracted GTOD clock may comprise a GPS clock, GLONASS clock, and a Galileo clock. A second signal for extracting a GTOD may be received, such as a satellite signal, and may conform to a low Earth orbit satellite signal protocol.

Abstract: A wireless communication device (WCD) establishes an ad-hoc communication link with a second WCD within operating range. A replica of at least a portion of a display of the first WCD may be shared with the second WCD utilizing wireless broadband signals that are communicated via the established one or more ad-hoc communication links. The first WCD and the second WCD are operable to communicate the wireless broadband signals at a power level that is below a spurious emissions mask. The transmitted wireless broadband signals are spread so they occupy a designated frequency spectrum band. The shared replica of at least a portion of the display of the first WCD includes one or more applications, text, video and/or data content. A user of the first WCD may interact with content that is displayed on a display of the second WCD and vice-versa.

Abstract: A cable modem termination system (CMTS) may communicate with a plurality of cable modems using a plurality of orthogonal frequency division multiplexed (OFDM) subcarriers. The CMTS may determine a performance metric of each of the cable modems. For each of the OFDM subcarriers and each of the cable modems, the CMTS may select physical layer parameters to be used for communication with that cable modem on that OFDM subcarrier based on a performance metric of that cable modem. The parameters may be selected for each individual modem and/or each individual subcarrier, or may be selected for groups of modems and/or groups of subcarriers. The parameters may include, for example, one or more of: transmit power, receive sensitivity, timeslot duration, modulation type, modulation order, forward error correction (FEC) type, and FEC code rate.

Abstract: A network device may receive a signal from a headend, wherein a bandwidth of the received signal spans from a low frequency to a high frequency and encompasses a plurality of sub-bands. The network device may determine, based on communication with the headend, whether one of more of the sub-bands residing above a threshold frequency are available for carrying downstream data from the headend to the circuitry. The network device may digitize the signal using an ADC operating at a sampling frequency. The sampling frequency may be configured based on a result of the determining. When the sub-band(s) are available for carrying downstream data from the headend to the network device, the sampling frequency may be set to a relatively high frequency. When the sub-band(s) are not available for carrying downstream data from the headend to the network device, the sampling frequency may be set to a relatively low frequency.

Abstract: A network device coupled to a network may be operable to receive an indication from the network that media access control (MAC) management messages will be transmitted by the network at fixed intervals. Subsequent to receiving the indication, the network device may be operable to power down one or more components of the network device and set a sleep timer to a value equal to an integer multiple of the fixed interval minus a transition period. The network device may power up the one or more components of the network device upon expiration of the sleep timer. The network device may power up the one or more components of the network device upon an amount of traffic in a buffer of the network device reaching a threshold.
