Abstract:
Circuitry of a fiber node which is configured to couple to an optical link and an electrical link may comprise an electrical-to-optical conversion circuit for transmitting on the optical link. The circuitry may be operable to receive signals via the optical link. The circuitry may select between or among different configurations of the electrical-to-optical conversion circuit based on the signals received via the optical link. The signals received via the optical link may be intended for one or more gateways served by the fiber node or may be dedicated signals intended for configuration of the circuitry. The circuitry may be operable to generate feedback and insert the feedback into a datastream received from one or more gateways via the electrical link prior to transmitting the datastream onto the optical link.
Abstract:
A first spatial crossbar may transmit data to a second spatial crossbar via a first millimeter wave beam between the first spatial crossbar and the second spatial crossbar. The first spatial crossbar may also transmit data to a third spatial crossbar via a second millimeter wave beam between the first spatial crossbar and the second spatial crossbar. The first millimeter wave beam may emanate from the first spatial crossbar at a first angle and be redirected toward the second spatial crossbar by a reflective surface. The second millimeter wave beam may emanate from the first spatial crossbar at a second angle and be redirected toward the third spatial crossbar by a reflective surface. The transmission to the second spatial crossbar may be concurrent with the transmission to the third spatial crossbar.
