Home Gateway system connecting access networks and home networks, and including various home networking interfaces

摘要

PURPOSE: A home gateway device connecting home network having various home networking interfaces and access network is provided to enable a high speed broadband service between a home network and an access network and control various information terminals connected to the home network by making the home network and the access network interwork. CONSTITUTION: A system controller(401) controls data processing and flow between a home network and an access network. An access network signal processor(200) having one or more ports provides a connection function to the access network and processes signal transmitted to and received from the access network. An access network connecting unit(402) provides an interfacing between the access network signal processor(200) and the system controller(401) under the control of the system controller(401). A high speed Ethernet switching processor(406) provides a function of a fast Ethernet connection to the home network. A HomePNA(Home Phoneline Networking Alliance) processor(407) provides a function of a HomePNA connection to the home network. A fast Ethernet processor(405) provides a function of a fast Ethernet connection to the access network. An ADSL(Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line)/VDSL(Very high-data rate Digital Subscriber Line) processor(404) provides a function of an ADSL/VDSL connection to the access network. A home network connecting unit(403) provides an interfacing between at least one home network and the system controller(401) through a PCI(Peripheral Component Interconnect) and a general input/output.
