    摘要: Aspects of the present disclosure provide for the detection and/or use of countermeasures to prevent and/or limit unauthorized devices from accessing and/or using another's communication network. An exemplary system includes a cloud controller and a gateway device that communicate via the infrastructure provided by a service provider communication network, wherein the gateway device operates in part to execute a device discovery algorithm to detect devices that are connected to a network facilitated by the gateway device and/or employ countermeasures to thwart further access by any unauthorized device. An exemplary method executes a device discovery algorithm to apply one or more of a plurality of device discovery protocols to detect devices that are connected to a network facilitated by a gateway device and/or implement countermeasures to block further access. Other aspects are described in detail herein.

    摘要: Combining a plurality of video feeds of various modulation formats and from a variety of sources for providing a unified interface and an extension of services across the plurality of video feeds is provided. An integrated video feed system located at least in part at a subscriber premises is configured to receive a plurality of video content broadcast feeds (e.g., cable television, over the air television, satellite television, Internet Protocol television), generate a combined data feed comprising video content signals included in the plurality of video content feeds, identify and decode the video content signals, obtain additional data associated with each of the plurality of video content feeds, provide a unified interface for displaying an aggregation of data and services associated with the plurality of video content feeds, and to provide requested video content included in the plurality of video content broadcast feeds for playback on a display device.

    摘要: Optimized automated access network connectivity is provided. A network connecting device (NCD) may perform an optimized access network setup process upon boot-up to connect to an access network. The optimized process may be determined by a cloud-based machine-learning system based on learned connecting and network usage behaviors. The optimized process may include a sequence of network connectivity evaluations configured to minimize the setup time associated with discovering and connecting to an access network. The optimized process may further reduce or eliminate the probability of device failure due to an erroneous access network implementation by establishing communications with a test server prior to committing an access operating mode to non-volatile memory. The NCD may be configured to modify the device's master configuration settings to include the optimized process such that when a master reset is performed, the device may utilize the optimized process to discover and connect to the access network.

    摘要: Automated communication channel selection is provided. A method, system, and computer readable storage device automatically perform a discovery process of a MoCA® network, to determine a topology of the network, perform a spectrum analysis of a DOCSIS® network of which a portion of the frequency range may be shared, apply one or more business rules to the collected network and spectrum usage data, and determine an optimized channel configuration for transmitting data to end devices in a local network. For example, the channel configuration may be configured for optimal bandwidth allocation, transmission speeds, signal quality, etc., without interferences within the shared frequency spectrum range. A gateway device may include a filter that can be reconfigured as an all-pass filter or as a variable low-pass filter based on the channel configuration determination. The MoCA® network may be reconfigured to operate within a defined frequency range based on the determined channel configuration.
