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 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.

1. A method for communication, the method comprising:
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, said signals received from sources external to said premises;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 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, over said premises-based wired network.
