Access Technologies
• Hybrid fiber coaxial technology plant / cable modem
at customer premises
• Telephony return is one-way, downstream
(forward direction) cable, upstream (reverse
direction) telephone
• Two-way downstream at high frequency band
and upstream at low frequency band
• Carries voice, video and data
• Upstream bandwidth requirements less compared
to downstream bandwidth

Access Technologies
• xDSL: Digital subscriber line technology
• Asymmetric DSL (ADSL)
• High-speed DSL (HDSL)
• Very-high speed DSL (VDSL)
• Uses existing local loop telephone facilities

HFC Network
• Fiber - 2 one-way transmission
• Coaxial - 2-way transmission
• 2-way amplifiers
• Fiber node: optical - RF conversion
•Head end:
• Signals from multiple sources multiplexed
• Frequency conversion for local signal
• Network interface device (NID) / unit (NIU)
Demarcation point between customer network and
service provider networks
• Cable modem: RF Ethernet, analog telephony,
and video
MJ11/0704

HFC Technology
• Broadband LAN
• Asymmetric bandwidth allocation for
2-way communication
• RF spread-spectrum that carries multiple
signals over HFC
• RF spectrum allocation to carry multimedia
services - voice, video and data

Cable Modem
• HFC uses tree topology
• Downstream in broadcast mode
• Upstream transmission by cable modem
coordinated by head end
• Data over cable service specifications (DOCSIS)
for cable modem ensures interoperability
• One-way cable modem uses telco-return
MJ11/0704
10
Cable Modem Termination System
• Equipment at the head end
• All cable modems terminated on the head end
• Gateway to the external network
• Multiplexes and demultiplexes signals
• Frequency converts upstream to downstream
signals
• Can be designed either as a bridge or router
MJ11/0704
11
HFC Plant
• Multiple fiber pairs run from head end to fiber node;
each pair carries 2 one-way signals
• Head end converts all (telephony, digital video,
data, and analog video) signals to optical carrier
to transmit on the fiber
• Houses are connected from fiber node via
coaxial cables
• Coaxial cable are in tree topology and carries
2-way signal
• Amplifiers on the coaxial cable have 2-way
amplifiers that amplify the signals in both directions
• “Drop from coaxial cable to NID (also called NIU)
- called “Tap-to-TV” in CATV

CMTS Components
• Switch / router routes the traffic between cable modems
and to the external network. It interfaces to CMTS via
the terminator (term).
• Modulator (mod) and demodulator (demod) transform
digital data from and to analog format.
• Combiner and splitter and filter perform the
complimentary functions of mux’ing and demuxing.
• Transmitter converts the RF signals to optical carrier;
receiver down-converts the optical signal.
• Servers handle the applications and databases.
• Security is managed by the security and access
controller.
• OSS and element manager perform network and service
management.
MJ11/0704
16
CMTS Components
• Three groups of interfaces:
• Data interfaces
• Cable modem to CPE (1)
• CMTS-NSI (2)
• Operations support systems and telco-return
• OSS (3)
• Telco-return (4)
• RF and security
• DOCS security system (5)
• RF interface (6)

HFC Management Challenges
• More complex than either computer network or
telecommunication network
• Involves both physical and data layers
• Multiple physical facilities
• Legacy cable system
• Multimedia service
• RF spectrum management
• Service and business management important for
MSOs and customer
• Shared media impacts security and bandwidth
• Security and privacy of home network

Link & Spectrum Management
• HFC Link Management
• Signal strength critical
• Requires continuous monitoring of amplifiers
using transponders (CheetahNet)
• Legacy system requires proxy server
• RF Spectrum Management
• Allocation of spectrum for services upstream and downstream
• Frequency agility management
MJ11/0704
26
DSL Access Technology
• Why is DSL attractive?
• Shannon limit of data rate is 30,000 bps
(3-KHz, 30 dB S/N channel)
• Digital transmission over loop (DSL) improves
data rate
• T1/DS1 (1.544Mbps)
18,000 feet
• T2/DS2 (6.312 Mbps)
12,000 feet
MJ11/0704
27
DSL Limitations
• Loop conditions with no direct copper to the house
• Loaded coils in loop (used to increase analog
distance) cannot carry digital signal
• Modern subdivisions have fiber to the
neighborhood or curb with digital mux
• Operating company inventory dated (administrative
issue)

Modulation Schemes
• Carrierless amplitude phase (CAP) modulation
• Discrete multiTone modulation (DMT): 4kHz tones
• Both CAP and DMT are QAM-based
• DMT outperforms CAP
• 4-to-1 downstream throughput
• 10-to-1 upstream throughput
• Rate adaptive
•On-going active monitoring
• Maximum loop variation coverage
• Standard and hence interoperability
