Appl. No.:

09/999060

Inventors:

Syed Habib Rahman - Campbell CA, US

Assignee:

Terayon Communication Systems, Inc. - Santa Clara CA

International Classification:

H04L 27/08
H04B 3/00

US Classification:

375345, 375257

Abstract:

A control word generator comprised of circuitry to generate a control word to control an attenuator. The control word generator includes a counter that increments at a clock rate much higher than the refresh rate at which the error signal is recalculated. The counter is controlled by a comparator which compares the error signal to a reference value, which, starting from a programmable upper limited is decremented in the counter's incrementation rate by a programmable step size. When the reference value equals the error signal, the comparator changes state and the counter stops incrementing. The count at that time is the control word, which if everything operated instantaneously, would be the control word that would alter the attenuation sufficiently to achieve nominal power. Also disclosed is a method to use this apparatus to generate a table of control words comprising: first establish an input power level and attenuate the signal with an analog variable attenuator/amplifier; second, measuring the output power of the signal output by said variable attenuator/amplifier; third, use a control word generator to iteratively derive a control word, which will cause the input signal power to be altered to the nominal power level; fourth, record that control word; fifth, increment the input signal power and repeat the process to derive a new control word and record that word; and, sixth, repeat the entire process for each level of expected input signal power.

International Classification:

H04Q 1104
H04J 324

US Classification:

370352

Abstract:

A data communications system consists of a number of interconnected nodes forming a frame relay network. A user accesses the network by dialing in via a dial access server (DAS). The DAS-to-frame relay interface supports CCITT Recommundation Q. 931 protocols for call control. A data link connection identifier (DLCI) for use in the DAS-to-frame relay network interface is provided in a Q. 931 call establishment message.

International Classification:

H04L 1266

US Classification:

370 601

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for aligning a digital communication data stream across a cell network, wherein plurality of timeslot samples are generated by sampling the digital communication data stream transferred over a first circuit-switching communication link. The timeslot samples are assembled into a series of communication cells in a bit or byte skewed arrangement. An align flag in the header of a communication cell indicates that the communication cell contains an aligned timeslot sample.

US Classification:

370352

Abstract:

A data communications network consists of a number of interconnected nodes and a network station having a memory. The memory stores a data base containing predefined circuit provisioning information for a number of users. A user accesses the frame relay network by dialing into the network via an ISDN connection. When the user calls into the network, signaling information is received at a first node of the network and passed to the network station. The signaling information includes automatic number identification (ANI) information which identifies the calling user. The network station uses the ANI to index the data base and retrieve associated circuit provisioning information. The circuit provisioning information is used to automatically install a circuit according to the predefined information. In this way, the user is provided with dial access to the frame relay network.

International Classification:

H04L 27/26

Abstract:

A method and an apparatus for determining a time offset are disclosed. The method includes: obtaining, by a device at a head end, a time-domain signal based on a received signal; and then determining a time offset based on values of peak-to-average ratios of a preset quantity of symbols starting from a qsymbol in the time-domain signal, where a peak-to-average ratio of the qsymbol is greater than a preset threshold. A new method for determining a time offset is provided, and takes advantages that the time-domain signal obtained by the device at the head end has stronger capabilities of resisting interference such as frequency offset and phase noise. The method for determining a time offset can be applied both to initial ranging and periodic ranging.
