Abstract

See full text

A ranging function provides the location of a set top box (STB) in a telecommunications system. The distance in time from a cable modem termination system (CMTS) to the STB is a fixed time. This time determines a ranging value. To determine the ranging value, a ranging signal is sent from the CMTS to the STB. The STB, immediately upon receiving the ranging signal, transmits a return signal, which is received by the CMTS. The CMTS measures this time, and determines the ranging value. An account may be validated by comparing the ranging value to an expected value.
