Embodiment Construction

[0021] Figure 1 shows a prior art home network that is connected via a telephone line local area network (LAN) 10 to an external wide area network (WAN) 15, such as via a home hub 20 to the Internet. The home hub 20 establishes a connection with the WAN 15 via an internal modem 25 . In the present invention, the modem 25 is a cable modem, an xDSL modem or a V.90 modem, however, the present invention is not limited to these devices. Home hub 20 also provides connectivity to LAN 10 . Three devices are connected to LAN 10 : computer A 30 , computer B 35 and printer 40 . The home network configuration shown in Figure 1 does not guarantee seamless network access from all parts of the home, because it is impossible to have a phone line connection everywhere it is needed.

[0022] Fig. 2 shows the home network structure according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention. The home hub 100 houses a modem like that of FIG. 1 for establishing a connection to a wide area ne...

Abstract

A home networking architecture and a physical layer protocol is configured such that a communication device in the home can access a home network over any one of the available transmissions media, i.e. in-house telephone wiring or electrical wiring, or a wireless network. The proposed networking architecture utilizes a bridging concept of combining multiple LANs residing on the different physical mediums available in the home, or small office building, or any other situation where a network is desired but adding additional infrastructure is undesirable or not possible.

Description

field of invention [0001] The present invention relates generally to telecommunications and computer networks, and more particularly to establishing a network that combines the types of physical transmission media present in a home. Background of the invention [0002] The development of broadband Internet access devices such as cable and xDSL modems has enabled households to access high-speed Internet. Currently, the highest rate network access in the home usually occurs between a WAN (such as the Internet) and a single communication device in the home (such as a network with TCP / IP) via an 802.3 10BaseT Ethernet interface or a Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface and using a cable modem. Stacked PCs). The advent of high-speed network access combined with network devices available to existing users, including printers, storage devices, smart meters, and computers, has increased the demands on home networks. [0003] Home networks, or any other small, non-professionally ru...
