Patent application number | Description | Published |
20100082791 | Data transmission over a network with channel bonding - A system that transmits data over multiple networks receives data packets at a client node and forms a plurality of data aggregates from the data packets. The system then sends a request for a duplicate transmission to a coordinator node on a first network. In response to the request, the system receives a first transmission slot on the first network and a second transmission slot on a second network for transmission of the data aggregates. The system then splits the data aggregates among the first transmission slot and the second transmission slot and transmits the data aggregates on the first transmission slot and the second transmission slot. | 04-01-2010 |
20100180112 | Secure Node Admission in a Communication Network - A system and method for key determination in a communication network having a network control node and a plurality of associated network nodes. According to various embodiments of the disclosed method and apparatus, an entry node sends to the network control node a submission requesting a salt; the entry node receives the salt from the network control node, wherein the salt is a random number generated by the network control node; the entry node combines the salt with its network password to calculate a network admission key; and the entry node submits an admission request to the network controller requesting admission to the network, wherein the admission request is encrypted by the entry node using the admission key. | 07-15-2010 |
20100180171 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR RETRANSMISSION AND FRAGMENTATION IN A COMMUNICATION NETWORK - A system and method for fragmented transmission and retransmission in a communication network. According to various embodiments of the disclosed method and apparatus, a method for fragmenting a protocol data unit for transmission from a source node in a communication network includes the operations of determining a plurality of subpackets in which to send the protocol data unit having one or more service data units; creating a data unit header for a first of the plurality of subpackets; identifying one or more fragments for inclusion in the first of the plurality of subpackets; creating an aggregation subheader for the first of the plurality of subpackets, wherein the aggregation subheader comprises data identifying the one or more fragments; and concatenating the data unit header, one or more fragments and aggregation subheader to build the first of the plurality of subpackets. | 07-15-2010 |
20100229015 | Method and Apparatus of Power Management - A power management system for home entertainment networks having three power states. The network controller is empowered to move nodes within the home entertainment network between the power states. | 09-09-2010 |
20100238790 | METHOD FOR QUICK MAP RECOVERY IN CASE OF ERROR IN MOCA - A method comprises receiving a predetermined length of information, the information including a first MAC Protocol Data Unit (MPDU) being of variable length and including at least one Sub-MPDU; independently decoding the first Sub-MPDU and a plurality of additional portions of the received information, each portion having a length equal to the length of one Sub-MPDU; processing data from the first Sub-MPDU; and determining from the processed data how many of the other decoded portions constitute Sub-MPDUs of the received MPDU. | 09-23-2010 |
20110173435 | Secure Node Admission in a Communication Network - A system and method for node admission in a communication network having a NC and a plurality of associated network nodes. According to various embodiments of the disclosed method and apparatus, key determination in a communication network includes an NN sending to the NC a request for a SALT; the NN receiving the SALT from the NC, combining the SALT with its network password to calculate a static key, and submitting an admission request to the network coordinator to request a dynamic key. The SALT can be a random number generated by the NC, and the admission request can be encrypted by the NN using the static key. | 07-14-2011 |
20120287866 | MOCA-WIFI MULTIPLEXING - Systems, methods, and apparatus for sharing resources for a network bridge configured to perform communications on a MoCA network and a WiFi network using the shared resources. The method includes: receiving a MAP from a MoCA NC and checking the MAP to determine whether the MoCA NC has scheduled MoCA communications in an upcoming MAP cycle; in instances where the MAP indicates that the MoCA NC has scheduled MoCA communications in an upcoming MAP cycle, configuring the shared network bridge resources for MoCA communications; c) in instances where the MAP indicates that the MoCA NC has not scheduled any MoCA communications in an upcoming MAP cycle, configuring the shared network bridge resources for WiFi communications; at the conclusion of a WiFi communication period, sending a CTS to the WiFi devices on the network and configuring the shared network bridge resources for WiFi communications. | 11-15-2012 |
20130039221 | FREQUENCY BAND SELECTION FOR MULTIPLE HOME NETWORKS - A network-capable device is configured to: automatically detect the presence of a MoCA network (or other network, depending on the network protocol in the application environment), and configure itself for communication on that network at the appropriate communication frequencies. The network-capable device can be configured to create a new network (e.g., a new MoCA network) if there is no network broadcast signal within a band. Preferably, the network-capable device requires little or no user intervention to configure itself for operation at network operating frequencies or to create a new network where none is detected. | 02-14-2013 |
20140169558 | SECURE NODE ADMISSION IN A COMMUNICATION NETWORK - A system and method for node admission in a communication network having a NC and a plurality of associated network nodes. According to various embodiments of the disclosed method and apparatus, key determination in a communication network includes an NN sending to the NC a request for a SALT; the NN receiving the SALT from the NC, combining the SALT with its network password to calculate a static key, and submitting an admission request to the network coordinator to request a dynamic key. The SALT can be a random number generated by the NC, and the admission request can be encrypted by the NN using the static key. | 06-19-2014 |
