BROADBAND LOCAL AREA NETWORK

A BCN network with BCN modems that enable network wired devices to communicate over a typical home coaxial network that may include passive splitters and different types of coaxial cable.

ELECTRIC COMMUNICATION TECHNIQUE

Selective content distribution, e.g. interactive television or video on demand [VOD] -Client devices specifically adapted for the reception of or interaction with content, e.g. set-top-box [STB]; Operations thereof-Processing of content or additional data, e.g. demultiplexing additional data from a digital video stream; Elementary client operations, e.g. monitoring of home network or synchronising decoder's clock; Client middleware -Interfacing a local distribution network, e.g. communicating with another STB ; or one or more peripheral devices;  inside the home-Interfacing a Home Network, e.g. for connecting the client to a plurality of peripherals 

PICTORIAL COMMUNICATION, e.g. TELEVISION

Data switching networks -characterised by path configuration, e.g. LAN [Local Area Networks] or WAN [Wide Area Networks] -Broadband local area networks

TRANSMISSION OF DIGITAL INFORMATION, e.g. TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION 

Selective content distribution, e.g. interactive television or video on demand [VOD] -Network structure or processes for video distribution between server and client or between remote clients; Control signalling between clients, server and network components; Transmission of management data between server and client ; , e.g. sending from server to client commands for recording incoming content stream; Communication details between server and client -Control signaling ; related to video distribution;  between client, server and network components; Network processes for video distribution between server and clients ; or between remote clients; , e.g. transmitting basic layer and enhancement layers over different transmission paths, setting up a peer-to-peer communication via Internet between remote STB's; Communication protocols; Addressing -Control signaling between network components and server or clients; Network processes for video distribution between server and clients, e.g. controlling the quality of the video stream, by dropping packets, protecting content from unauthorised alteration within the network, monitoring of network load, bridging between two different networks, e.g. between IP and wireless -Data processing by the network 

Data switching networks -characterised by path configuration, e.g. LAN [Local Area Networks] or WAN [Wide Area Networks] -Home automation networks-Distribution of signals within a home automation network, e.g. involving splitting/multiplexing signals to/from different paths
