Abstract

Methods and systems are described for inserting protocol adaptation layers into access equipment to translate data over cable service interface specification services control messages to the corresponding messages in the other (multiple) heterogeneous access specification(s). A method of expanding DOCSIS into an alternative access network includes deploying a protocol adaptation layer in access equipment to translate DOCSIS control messages to corresponding messages in the alternative access network.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A method of expanding DOCSIS into an alternative access network, comprising deploying a protocol adaptation layer in access equipment to translate DOCSIS control messages to corresponding messages in the alternative access network. 
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the protocol adaptation layer is a single DOCSIS protocol adaptation layer. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the protocol adaptation layer is a double DOCSIS protocol adaptation layer. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising translating DOCSIS control messages to corresponding messages in another alternative access network. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein the alternative access network and the another alternative access network are heterogeneous. 
     
     
         6 . A system for expanding DOCSIS into an alternative access network, comprising a protocol adaptation layer in access equipment to translate DOCSIS control messages to corresponding messages in the alternative access network. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 6 , wherein the protocol adaptation layer is a single DOCSIS protocol adaptation layer. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 6 , wherein the protocol adaptation layer is a double DOCSIS protocol adaptation layer. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 6 , wherein the protocol adaptation layer translates DOCSIS control messages to corresponding messages in another alternative access network. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 6 , wherein the alternative access network and the another alternative access network are heterogeneous.
