The present invention relates generally to information networks and specifically to transmitting information such as media information over communication lines such as coaxial cable (hereinafter “coax”), thereby to form a communications network.
Home network technologies using coax are known generally. The Multimedia over Coax Alliance (MoCA™), at its website mocalliance.org, provides an example of a suitable specification (MoCA 1.1) for networking of digital video and entertainment through existing coaxial cable in the home which has been distributed to an open membership. The MoCA 1.1 specification is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
Home networking over coax taps into the vast amounts of unused bandwidth available on the in-home coax. More than 70% of homes in the United States have coax already installed in the home infrastructure. Many have existing coax in one or more primary entertainment consumption locations such as family rooms, media rooms and master bedrooms—ideal for deploying networks. Home networking technology allows homeowners to utilize this infrastructure as a networking system and to deliver other entertainment and information programming with high QoS (Quality of Service).
The technology underlying home networking over coax provides high speed (270 mbps), high QoS, and the innate security of a shielded, wired connection combined with state of the art packet-level encryption. Coax is designed for carrying high bandwidth video. Today, it is regularly used to securely deliver millions of dollars of pay per view and premium video content on a daily basis. Home networking over coax can also be used as a backbone for multiple wireless access points used to extend the reach of wireless network throughout a consumer's entire home.
Home networking over coax provides a consistent, high throughput, high quality connection through the existing coaxial cables to the places where the video devices currently reside in the home. Home networking over coax provides a primary link for digital entertainment, and may also act in concert with other wired and wireless networks to extend the entertainment experience throughout the home.
Currently, home networking over coax complements access technologies such as ADSL and VDSL services or Fiber to the Home (FTTH), that typically enter the home on a twisted pair or on an optical fiber, operating in a frequency band from a few hundred kilohertz to 8.5 MHz for ADSL and 12 Mhz for VDSL. As services reach the home via xDSL or FTTH, they may be routed via home networking over coax technology and the in-home coax to the video devices. Cable functionalities, such as video, voice and Internet access, may be provided to homes, via coaxial cable, by cable operators, and use coaxial cables running within the homes to reach individual cable service consuming devices locating in various rooms within the home. Typically, home networking over coax type functionalities run in parallel with the cable functionalities, on different frequencies.
It would be desirable to increase the transmission speed of MoCA devices in MoCA networks, such as, for example, the transmission speed of MoCA 1.1 nodes. For the purpose of this application, the term “node” may be referred to alternatively herein as a “module.”
A system and/or method for using a high throughput mode for MoCA devices connected by a MoCA home network, substantially as shown in and/or described in connection with at least one of the figures, as set forth more completely in the claims.

For ease of reference, the following glossary provides definitions for the various abbreviations and notations used in this patent application:
A MoCA modem according to the invention may be used in an electronic device configured as a node in a home network. Such a MoCA modem according to the invention preferably complies with the standard MoCA specifications, such as MoCA 1.1, and includes additional features that enable higher throughput and better robustness in a MoCA network. In one embodiment of the invention, the MoCA modem supports a high throughput mode.
An exemplary high throughput mode of a modem according to the invention preferably uses twice the bandwidth—i.e., 100 MHz instead of 50 MHz—of the MoCA standard mode. It should be noted that a high throughput mode according to the invention may use any higher than standard throughput while still remaining within the scope of the invention.
The implementation of a high throughput mode according to the invention may require some changes in the RF circuitry, such as increasing the band of the anti-aliasing low-pass filters, and some changes in the Digital (Base-Band) modem. Such known changes to the RF circuitry setup may be controlled by the CPU coincident with the operation of the high throughput mode. Such CPU control may include changing several analog and digital parameters such as the bandwidth of the low pass filters (by, for example, switching its capacitors and/or resistors).
In certain embodiments of the invention, a digital modem in high throughput mode may preferably use a doubled frequency operation that creates a wider bandwidth for information throughput.
In such a case—i.e., where the digital modem uses a doubled frequency operation—the effective guard interval provided by the cyclic prefix length and preamble length is reduced in time duration by a factor of two. The guard interval should ideally be bigger than the delay spread of the channel (hereinafter, “the channel delay spread”)—i.e., the time between the first and last reflections that substantially impact performance—along the signal transmission line. A decrease in the guard interval, increases ISI (intersymbol interference) and ICI (interserver interference) which may reduce signal acquisition performance.
It should be noted that the time spread is not dependent on MoCA mode operation, whether conventional or high throughput, and this may contribute to the reduction in signal acquisition performance. Hereinafter, this patent application refers to this reduction of signal acquisition performance as the acquisition problem in the high throughput mode.
In order to compensate for the acquisition problem in the high throughput mode, systems and methods according to the invention may, in high throughput mode, preferably increase the preamble length of a packet. ISI and/or ICI distortion may then be reduced back to the level present in the standard MoCA mode.
Such an increase in the preamble length may preferably be implemented using one or more of a number of suitable methods. In one method according to the invention, the preamble may be doubled by adding on a zero sample in an additional portion of the preamble and then transmitting the doubled preamble, with the zeroed second portion of the sample, to the receiver. At the receiver, the doubled preamble may be received. The receiver may then process the first portion of the doubled preamble while disregarding the second, zeroed, portion of the preamble.
Another method that be implemented according to the invention is to duplicate the preamble sample itself, to form a double size preamble sample with two identical parts, at twice the frequency. In such a double size preamble, the receiver may process both portions of the double size preamble or process only the first portion of the double size preamble while disregarding the second, double, portion of the sample.
In either method, the receiver may be adapted to process only the first half of the increased preamble. Such processing preferably retains all the critical information in the preamble while adapting to the increased speed of high throughput mode.
In certain embodiments of the invention, nodes that are adapted to increase the maximum preamble length in high throughput mode may selectively do so. For example, such nodes may increase the maximum preamble length to nodes that are adapted to receive such a high throughput mode and not increase the maximum preamble length in high throughput mode to nodes that are not adapted to receive high throughput mode—e.g., legacy MoCA 1.1 nodes.
In one embodiment of the invention, the windowing block—i.e., the duration of the maximum cyclic prefix—is doubled in order to obtain the same length of time as the legacy maximum periodic prefix. Increasing the maximum cyclic prefix by a factor of two may be performed in any suitable fashion and still be within the scope of the invention. It should be noted that the maximum cyclic prefix may be increased by any suitable proportion and remain within the scope of the invention.
Generator 102 described in
In systems and methods according to the invention, the preamble can remain unchanged as in normal mode—i.e., the samples are generated at 50 MHz operation as described above or can be time-extended for the high throughput mode—e.g., operation at 100 MHz—in two or more suitable ways. In a first embodiment, the time domain preamble can repeat each sample twice. In a second embodiment, zeros may be inserted after each sample, thereby doubling the length of each sample.
It should be noted that each of the three foregoing options (the conventional option included) may have a different spectral content and different time domain properties.
In some embodiments according to the invention, generator 102 preferably produces a signal that is sent to multiplexor 104 and multiplexor 106. Multiplexor 106 may preferably provide either the preamble from generator 102 as an output, in accordance with an embodiment described above, or a zero as an output, depending on the selection by the enable line of multiplexor 106. The enable line is determined by a value derived from the CPU but may be determined in other suitable ways and still remain within the scope of the invention.
In one embodiment of the high throughput mode according to the invention, the enable line in multiplexor 104 may preferably be switched, in order to produce a switched output between the preamble from generator 102 and the output of multiplexor 106, at a 100 MHz clock. Such switching produces the desired output at 100 MHz.
If multiplexor 106 is configured to output the signal from preamble generator 102 to multiplexor 104, then multiplexor 104's output will produce each sample from the preamble generator twice. If multiplexor 106 is configured to output a zero to multiplexor 104, then multiplexor 104's output will produce each sample from the preamble generator once, followed by a zero.
In normal mode, a constant ‘0’ may be selected by the enable line of multiplexor 104.
Receiver 200 may preferably be adapted as follows, or in any other suitable fashion, in order to allow high throughput implementation according to the invention.
As with preamble generator block 100 shown in
Further, preamble processor 200 may be modified in accordance with the invention as described below.
The legacy preamble processing block 206 may be associated with the normal MoCA mode. To implement high throughput mode one of the following two options (or any other suitable option) may be implemented: 1) operation as in the legacy mode—i.e., block 206 works at the 50 MHz sample rate (in this mode, block 206 operates to process all received samples from the transmitter via closed switch 210) 2) operation in the high throughput mode wherein each second sample is discarded (in this mode, block 206 operates to process every second received sample from the transmitter via switch 210 and the rest of the circuitry works as in the normal mode.)
It should be noted that a number of parameters that are transferred from the CPU to block 204 are frequency and/or operational mode dependent. Therefore, the instructions sent from the CPU should be calculated accordingly.
In certain embodiments of the invention, the high throughput mode is an enhanced feature using twice the channel bandwidth to increase PHY and MAC rates, and to provide immunity to impairments. Preferably such a high throughput mode can be implemented on hardware that exists in the current generation of 65 nm chips such as BCM7340/42 and BCM7420 manufactured by Broadcom Corporation of Irvine, Calif.
Such implementations, according to the invention, may exhibit advantages over MoCA 2.0 implementations. Such advantages may include relatively lower complexity as compared to MoCA 2.0 implementations and reduced cost. Preferably, such implementations use the same PHY as MoCA 1.1 but run at double the symbol rate.
Furthermore, the maximal periodic preamble size and time domain preamble series are preferably adjusted while the MAC preferably does not change except to improve efficiency, where needed.
In addition, the systems and methods according to the invention may provide an additional 10 dB margin at maximum MoCA 1.1 PHY Rate (285 Mbps). Furthermore, such systems and methods may be expected to achieve 160 Mbps at a received level less than −50 dBm with the additional margin attributable to selected vendors.
It should be noted that the high throughput mode may be configured to provide eight 20 Mbps consecutive streams with a received level of less than −60 dBm.
Using high throughput mode according to the invention, MoCA 1.1 may provide an additional 7 dB margin. This is when the MoCA1.1 PHY Rate is 285 Mbps. In one simulation of high throughput mode according to the invention, 120 Mbps throughput was achieved with a received level of −54 dBm. Furthermore, the high throughput mode may reduce limitations on reservation request duration from 52 microseconds (as in MoCA1.1) to about half that amount—i.e., 25-30 microseconds. Moreover, the high throughput preferably increases allows inactive nodes to request opportunities to request transmissions at a lower rate (this reduces overhead associated with reservation requests).
Thus, systems and methods for providing a high throughput mode in MoCA have been described.
Aspects of the invention have been described in terms of illustrative embodiments thereof. A person having ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that numerous additional embodiments, modifications, and variations may exist that remain within the scope and spirit of the appended claims. For example, one of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that the steps illustrated in the figures may be performed in other than the recited order and that one or more steps illustrated may be optional. The methods and systems of the above-referenced embodiments may also include other additional elements, steps, computer-executable instructions, or computer-readable data structures. In this regard, other embodiments are disclosed herein as well that can be partially or wholly implemented on a computer-readable medium, for example, by storing computer-executable instructions or modules or by utilizing computer-readable data structures.
