APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR RECEIVING UPSTREAM DATA PACKET
First Claim
1. An apparatus for receiving an upstream data packet, comprising:
- an upstream demodulator for receiving a data packet transmitted from a cable modem and converting the received packet;
an upstream processor for adding packet re-combination information to the data packet received from the upstream demodulator;
an upstream segment processor for re-combining the data packet received from the upstream processor in response to the packet re-combination information; and
an upstream channel band allocation unit for transmitting information comprising a data allocation band and an allocation interval to the cable modem and providing the packet re-combination information to the upstream processor.

Abstract
An apparatus for receiving an upstream data packet in a channel bonding mode is provided. The apparatus includes: an upstream demodulator for receiving a data packet transmitted from a cable modem and converting the received packet; an upstream processor for adding packet re-combination information to the data packet received from the upstream demodulator; an upstream segment processor for re-combining the data packet received from the upstream processor in response to the packet re-combination information; and an upstream channel band allocation unit for transmitting information comprising a data allocation band and an allocation interval to the cable modem and providing the packet re-combination information to the upstream processor. Also, a method of receiving an upstream data packet in a channel bonding mode is provided.
