Abstract
A method at a cable modem termination system includes dividing a transmit stream into multiple data streams and transmitting the multiple data streams over multiple radio frequency channels of a group of channels. The group of channels supports traffic to a plurality of destinations. Each channel in the group of channels is a downstream channel.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- at a cable modem termination system:
- dividing a transmit stream into multiple data streams;
- and
- transmitting the multiple data streams over multiple radio frequency channels of a group of channels,
- wherein the group of channels supports traffic to a plurality of destinations, and
- wherein each channel in the group of channels is a downstream channel.
A system comprising:
- a processor to divide a transmit stream into multiple data streams;
- and
- one or more modulators to modulate the multiple data streams to provide modulated data to be transmitted over multiple radio frequency channels of a group of channels,
- wherein the group of channels supports traffic to a plurality of destinations, and
- wherein each channel in the group of channels is a downstream channel.
A cable modem termination system comprising:
- a processor to divide a transmit stream into multiple data streams;
- and
- a transmit device to transmit the multiple data streams over multiple radio frequency channels of a group of channels of a cable network,
- wherein the cable network comprises a hybrid fiber-coaxial network or a coaxial network,
- wherein each channel in the group of channels is a downstream channel, and
- wherein the group of channels supports traffic to a plurality of destinations.
A cable modem termination system comprising:
- a processor to divide a transmit stream into multiple data streams;
- and
- a transmit device to transmit the multiple data streams over multiple radio frequency channels of a group of channels of a cable network,
- wherein the multiple data streams are quadrature amplitude modulated,
- wherein the cable network comprises a hybrid fiber-coaxial network or a coaxial network,
- wherein each channel in the group of channels is a downstream channel and
- wherein the group of channels supports traffic to a plurality of destinations.
