Abstract: One or more examples relate to a method that includes: applying oversampling to data on a reception datapath of a physical layer; generating a first signal indicating relationships between patterns exhibited by portions of oversampled data and a predetermined pattern; generating a second signal indicating an observed feature of the first signal, the observed feature indicative of a highest relationship between the patterns exhibited by respective portions of oversampled data and the predetermined pattern; and providing the second signal to indicate presence of a portion of data corresponding to the predetermined pattern at a coupled portion of the reception datapath of the physical layer.

Abstract: Disclosed embodiments relate, generally, to improved data reception handling at a physical layer. Some embodiments relate to end of line systems that include legacy media access control (MAC) devices and PHY devices that implement improved data reception handling disclosed herein. The improved data reception handling improves the operation of legacy systems, and the MAC more specifically, and in some cases to comply with media access tuning protocols implemented at the physical layer.

Abstract: One or more examples relate, generally, to a method that includes: recording a value representing a time duration for a frame moving toward a cable or MAC to travel between a predetermined reference plane of a PHY-MAC interface to a predetermined reference plane of a PHY-able interface; and asserting an indication that the recorded value is available to be read from a PHY.

Abstract: Cable fault detection using reconstructed reflection signals and related systems, methods, and devices are disclosed. An apparatus includes a terminal to provision and observe a signal on the cable and a processing circuitry. The processing circuitry may reconstruct a reflection signal at least partially responsive to the observed signal, generate correlation values between the reconstructed reflection signal and multiple signals representing the transmit signal as variably delayed; and determine whether a fault is present in the cable at least partially responsive to the correlation values.

Abstract: Various embodiments relate to detecting collisions on a communication network. A method may include transmitting a first signal to a shared bus. The method may also include observing a second signal at the shared bus during the transmitting. Further, the method may include detecting a collision on the shared bus in response to an amplitude of the second signal being one of greater than a first threshold and less than a second threshold.

Abstract: Systems, device, and methods related to estimating a Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) of a signal are disclosed. A method of estimating an SNR includes setting a threshold of a comparator of a physical layer device to a first value, applying a signal to the comparator, and determining a first bit error number of an output of the comparator with the threshold set at the first value. The method also includes setting the threshold of the comparator to a second value that is different from the first value, applying the signal to the comparator, and determining a second bit error number of the output of the comparator with the threshold set at the second value. The method further includes determining an SNR of the signal based on the first bit error number and the second bit error number.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and devices for communicating a source of a 10SPE wake. Such a communication may be performed over a low-pin count hardware interface of a 10SPE physical layer (PHY) module having a split arrangement. A controller side of a 10SPE PHY may perform a local or remote 10SPE wake forward in response to a communicated source of a wake. Also disclosed is a digital interface for operatively coupling a PHY controller to PHY transceiver over a low-pin count connection, where the digital interface includes circuitry for checking the integrity of circuitry of the digital interface. Also disclosed is a PHY transceiver of a 10SPE PHY, where the transceiver includes a circuitry for controlling a starting polarity of frames.

Abstract: Physical layer devices and related methods for determining Bit Error Rates (BERs) and correcting errors in signals received through shared transmission media of wireless local area networks are disclosed. A physical layer device is configured to identify coding violations in received signal, determine a rate of the coding violations in the signal, and estimate a BER of the signal to be equal to the determined rate of the coding violations. A physical layer device is configured to invert a half symbol immediately preceding or immediately following a coding violation based, at least in part, on signal integrities of the half symbol immediately preceding and the half symbol immediately following the coding violation to correct a bit error.
