Method and system for providing a home cable network

摘要

Methods and systems for cross-protocol time synchronization may comprise, for example, in a premises-based network, receiving, by a network controller in the premises, signals that conform to a first communications protocol. The received signals may be bridged to conform to a second communications protocol different from the first communications protocol, and the bridged signals may be communicated to networked devices within the network, where only signals conforming to the second communications protocol may be concurrently communicated over the network in a frequency range of the first communications protocol and in a frequency range of the second communications protocol, the frequency range used by the first communications protocol not overlapping with the frequency range used by the second communications protocol. The first communications protocol signals may comprise data over cable service interface specification (DOCSIS) signals, cable, and/or or satellite television signals.

1. A method for communication, the method comprising:
in a premises-based network:
receiving, by a network controller in the premises, signals that conform to a first communications protocol;bridging said received signals to conform to a second communications protocol different from the first communications protocol; andcommunicating said bridged signals to one or more networked devices within said premises-based wired network, wherein only signals conforming to said second communications protocol are concurrently communicated in a first frequency range of the first communications protocol and in a second frequency range of the second communications protocol, the first frequency range not overlapping with the second frequency range.
