    Abstract: Methods and systems for cross-protocol time synchronization may comprise, for example, in a premises-based network, receiving, by a root node network controller in the premises, signals that conform to one or more first communications protocols, where the signals may be received from sources external to the premises. The received signals may be bridged to conform to a second communications protocol different from the first communications protocol. The bridged signals may be communicated to one or more networked devices within the premises-based wired network, where only signals conforming to the second communications protocol may be concurrently communicated in at least two frequencies, a first in a frequency range of the first communications protocol and a second in a frequency range of the second communications protocol, the frequency range used by the first communications protocol being different from and not overlapping with the frequency range used by the second communications protocol.

    Abstract: A network device may receive a signal from a headend, wherein a bandwidth of the received signal spans from a low frequency to a high frequency and encompasses a plurality of sub-bands. The network device may determine, based on communication with the headend, whether one of more of the sub-bands residing above a threshold frequency are available for carrying downstream data from the headend to the circuitry. The network device may digitize the signal using an ADC operating at a sampling frequency. The sampling frequency may be configured based on a result of the determining. When the sub-band(s) are available for carrying downstream data from the headend to the network device, the sampling frequency may be set to a relatively high frequency. When the sub-band(s) are not available for carrying downstream data from the headend to the network device, the sampling frequency may be set to a relatively low frequency.

Each element processor of a first plurality of element processors may communicate in a first communication band via an antenna element in a first antenna array. Each element processor of a second plurality of element processors may communicate in a second communication band via an antenna element in a second antenna array. One or more antenna elements of the second antenna array may be positioned between antenna elements of the first antenna array.

    Abstract: A first device of a Multimedia Over Coax Alliance (MoCA) network may communicate with a second device of the MoCA network to control power-save operation of the second MoCA device. The first device may control the power-save operation of the second MoCA device based on an amount of data stored in a buffer, wherein the data stored in the buffer is destined for the second device. The buffer may be in a third device which sends the data to the second device, and/or the buffer may be in the first device. The first device may be operable to buffer data destined for the second device while the second device is in a power-saving state.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for cross-protocol time synchronization may comprise, for example, in a premises-based network, receiving a signal that conforms to a data over cable service interface specification (DOCSIS) communications protocol. A global time of day (GTOD) clock may be extracted from the received signal. Communication on the premises-based network in accordance with a multimedia over cable alliance (MoCA) communications protocol may be synchronized based at least in part on the extracted GTOD clock. Communication in a third communications protocol may be synchronized, wherein the third communications protocol may include a home phoneline networking alliance (HPNA) standard, an IEEE 802.11x standard, and a non-public wireless network protocol. The extracted GTOD clock may comprise a GPS clock, GLONASS clock, and a Galileo clock. A second signal for extracting a GTOD may be received, such as a satellite signal, and may conform to a low Earth orbit satellite signal protocol.

    Abstract: A network device may comprise one or more circuits including a clock signal generator, an ADC, and a processor. The ADC may digitize a received signal across a range of frequencies that encompasses a first band of frequencies used for a first network and a second band of frequencies used for a second network. A sampling frequency of the ADC may be determined by a frequency of a clock signal output by the clock signal generator. The processor may determine whether the first network is active and whether the second network is active. The processor may configure the clock generator such that, when both of the first network and the second network are active, the clock signal is set to a first frequency, and when the first network is active and the second network is inactive, the clock signal is set to a second frequency.
