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) includes AMTS DOCSIS-to-access protocol translation and AMTS access-to-DOCSIS protocol translation. 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 for use in the alternative access network. Translating DOCSIS control messages to corresponding messages for use in the alternative access network includes AMTS DOCSIS-to-access protocol translation and AMTS access-to-DOCSIS protocol translation.

Transmitting and receiving data includes a process of transferring data over a coaxial network between an optical node and a plurality of cable modems of a hybrid fiber-coaxial cable network. A data transfer system which sends and receives data over a coaxial network located at an optical node of a hybrid fiber-coaxial cable network.

Point-to-multipoint high data rate delivery from optical node in HFC systems over existing and advanced coaxial networks

Methods and apparatus are described for transmitting and receiving data. A method includes a process of transferring data over a coaxial network at a bandwidth above 1000 MHz, wherein the process of transferring data transfers the data between an optical node and a plurality of cable modems of a hybrid fiber-coaxial cable network. An apparatus includes a data transfer system which sends and receives data over a coaxial network at a bandwidth above 1000 MHz, wherein the data transfer system is located at an optical node of a hybrid fiber-coaxial cable network.

A method and apparatus for scheduling transmissions between a plurality of communications sites within a communications system. The communications system provides service to a service area which is divided into sectors. Each sector is assigned a time subframe in a pattern where adjacent sectors use different subframes. Communications sites within each sector communicate packets of information in at least one time subframe according to a schedule to minimize interference from other communications sites.
