Title: Gitesh Shah: Innovator in Cable IPTV Solutions
Introduction
Gitesh Shah is a notable inventor based in San Jose, CA (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of cable IPTV solutions, holding 2 patents that showcase his innovative approach to technology.
Latest Patents
One of Gitesh's latest patents is focused on a broadcast solution for cable IPTV. This invention discloses methods and apparatus for offering broadcast IPTV solutions over cable (HFC networks). Instead of bypassing the CMTS, a reduced number of downstream ports are utilized for video streams. Each input video stream is streamed to a multicast group address. In one embodiment, several RF channels are configured to span across all the Fibernodes in the CMTS service area. An STB sends a service request for a desired video stream using an IGMP request, and the CMTS responds by issuing a DBC request to tune the corresponding CM to the RF channel carrying the requested stream. The CMTS ports that carry the static multicast streams are RF spanned across all the Fibernodes or a selected subset.
Another significant patent involves modem count-based load balancing in a cable network. This invention addresses the challenges of load balancing across RF channels in a cable plant where individual cable modems have multiple receive/transmit channels. Load balancing is considered in the assignments of channels to requesting modems during a registration process. Requesting modems are registered in a sequence of descending order defined by the number of channels requested. Channel sets are selected to minimize a maximum delta metric of load balancing. The techniques disclosed may be applied to both upstream and downstream channels, and current load balance quality is estimated and reported to an operator.
