Systems and methods for providing a MoCA improved performance for short burst packets
First Claim
1. A networked node for use in a network, configurable to request a message comprising a short preamble, the network comprising a plurality of network nodes, the networked node comprising:
- a receiver which is configurable to receive a message containing the short preamble, the short preamble comprising a single channel estimation section; and
a transmitter which is configurable to transmit a request for a message containing the short preamble.

Abstract
Systems and methods for reducing the latency and for increasing throughput for MoCA devices that are connected via a coax network are provided. One method according to the invention includes, in a network having a plurality of network modules, each of the plurality of network modules being connected to a coax backbone, communicating over the coax backbone between the plurality of network modules. The method further includes a requesting the use of short burst messages. The method further includes responding to the requesting by constructing a short burst message with a single channel equalization section and reducing the number of bits per hertz in the transmission constellation. The resulting messages can be received with an acceptable error rate while making more efficient use of the MoCA network.
