NETWORK TERMINATION AND METHODS FOR USE THEREWITH

摘要

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a network termination includes a downstream channel modulator modulates downstream data into downstream channel signals to convey the downstream data via a guided electromagnetic wave that is bound to a transmission medium of a guided wave communication system. A host interface sends the downstream channel signals to the guided wave communication system and receives upstream channel signals corresponding to upstream frequency channels from the guided wave communication system. An upstream channel demodulator demodulates upstream channel signals into upstream data. Other embodiments are disclosed.

1. A network termination comprising:
a first interface configured to receive first data from a communication network and to send second data to the communication network; a channel modulator configured to modulate the first data into first channel signals corresponding to first frequency channels of a guided wave communication system that facilitates wireless network connectivity to at least one client device via an antenna; a second interface configured to send the first channel signals to the guided wave communication system and to receive second channel signals corresponding to second frequency channels from the guided wave communication system; and a channel demodulator configured to demodulate the second channel signals into the second data.
