 Readings:
[26] “Cable It’s not just for TV”
[27] “Battling for Local Phone
Customers”
[28] “IP/ATM Integrated Services over
Broadband Access Copper Technologies”

Video...
Uncompressed NTSC video requires
about 90 Mbps
 Broadcast Quality compressed video
requires 45 Mbps
 ‘VHS Quality’ compressed video requires
1.5 Mbps
 The OSU Teleconferencing system is
running at 384 Kbps

MPEG 1
Compression of motion video & audio at
about 1.5 Mbps
 Targeted at digital playback & storage
 Has Random Access capabilities
 Employs Motion Estimation Algorithms,
Discrete Cosine Transforms, & Huffman
Coding
 Codes frames as Intrapictures, Predicted
Pictures, and Bidirectional Pictures
 Standard since 1992

MPEG 2
Targets higher quality compression,
typically at 3-6 Mbps bit rates
 Being used for Direct Broadcast TV
 Large chunks of MPEG2 used in
U.S. HDTV standard
 Standard since 1994

MPEG 4
Aimed at Multimedia Coding
 Bit rates from 8 Kbps - 35 Mbps
 Codes objects as opposed to 8x8 blocks

 Ability

to interact & manipulate objects
Standard in 1999
MPEG 7

Ability to describe and search for multimedia objects (under development)
 Audio
clips
 video images
MP3
Web audio clips
 Uses audio compression from MPEG 1

 12-1
typical compression ratio
H.261 (a.k.a. Px64)
Subset of MPEG
 Targets real time videoconferencing
 Bit rates from 64 Kbps to 2.048 Mbps

 64
Kbps - 128 Kbps: Face shot (video phone)
 384 Kbps: considered to be minimum speed
for decent full screen videoconferencing

H.263 is a modified H.261
Offers better quality
Requires more processing power
Channel Capacity (C)

C = W*Log2(1 + SNR) bps
W
= channel bandwidth (Hz)
 SNR = channel signal-to-noise ratio
Maximum bit rate that can be reliably shoved
down a connection
 EX) Analog Modem (30 dB SNR)
C = 3500 *Log2(1 + 1000) = 34,885 bps
 EX) 6 MHz TV RF Channel (42 dB SNR)
C = 6,000,000 *Log2(1 + 15,849) = 83.71 Mbps

Local Loop Capacity about 34.8 Kbps

Who will be your one-stop
telecom provider?
Cable TV Companies?
Physical Tree with Large Bandwidth
Simplex & No Switching
Fair/Poor quality cable plant
 Solution: Cable Modems
Re-engineer system for 2-way traffic
Shared Access
Install data switches at Head End
Install voice switches at Head End

Local Telephone Companies?
Physical Star with Narrow Bandwidth
Full Duplex & Switched

ADSL will off load data traffic
from CO voice switches, & provide
more CO-Home bandwidth.
Who will be your one-stop
telecom provider?
The Typical Telco can get xDSL running on
existing twisted pair cable plant with less reengineering than the typical Cable Company
requires to get Cable Modems running on
existing coax/fiber networks.
 But Cable network has more bandwidth
 Whoever gets to market first, with a costeffective solution, will be in the driver’s seat.
 Advantage ???
