| 20090113503 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ALLOCATING BANDWIDTH BASED ON TRANSMISSION POWER OF DEVICES TRANSMITTING OVER COMMUNICATION CHANNELS IN A NETWORK - A method performed by a central network device, such as a network edge device, or a CMTS, determines whether some of a plurality of user devices coupled to a communication device are transmitting at substantially their respective maximum power output level over a given channel. If the central device determines that some of the devices are operating at near their maximum output level (“power pegged,) the central device searches for another channel that can carry the traffic of the power pegged devices at reduced data rate. If another channel can accommodate transmission of signals of the power pegged device, the central device instructs the power pegged devices to tune to the new channel at a reduced data rate compared to the data rate of the current channel. | 04-30-2009 |
| 20090262644 | INTELLIGENT TRAFFIC OPTIMIZER - Bandwidth is assigned to subscribers of a data network by applying logic of one or more network devices to sample bits of information communicated over a network communication medium to identify if there is a network congestion condition or an extremely lightly loaded condition. The maximum bandwidth assigned to a subscriber is below a normative maximum bandwidth assigned to the subscriber if the network is congested and the logic of the one or more network devices identifies the subscriber as a heavy bandwidth user. The maximum bandwidth assigned to a subscriber is above the normative maximum bandwidth if the network is extremely lightly loaded and the subscriber is a heavy bandwidth user. | 10-22-2009 |
| 20090285233 | MULTI-SERVICE PHY BOX - A data communication system includes multiple Media Access Control (MAC) units, multiple physical layer (PHY) interface units, and logic to communicate between the MAC units and the PHY units using a single tunneling protocol over Internet Protocol (IP). | 11-19-2009 |
| 20100322420 | Duplicate Address Detection Proxy in Edge Devices - Methods, systems, and apparatus used to provide duplicate address detection in edge devices. Edge devices can include CMTS devices or DSLAMs where network nodes are not allowed to communicate with each other directly. Duplicate address detection proxies can provide duplicate address protection for network devices and can avoid the issue of broadcasting node advertisement messages to all of the devices connected to a particular downstream link. | 12-23-2010 |
| 20110096819 | ESTIMATING SYSTEM AND TRAFFIC DATA IN A DOCSIS SYSTEM - Methods for computing system data (e.g., the number of CMs per DS-SG or US-SG) and traffic data (e.g., the number of online CMs, the number of active CMs, the percentage of time a CM is online, the percentage of time a CM is active, and the concurrency of CMs) in a DOCSIS system are disclosed. | 04-28-2011 |
