8、 ITU-T J.184 (03/2001) iiFOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications. The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating
9、and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce
10、 Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this R
11、ecommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS ITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve the
12、 use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside of the Recommendation development process. As of the date of approval of this Recommendat
13、ion, ITU had not received notice of intellectual property, protected by patents, which may be required to implement this Recommendation. However, implementors are cautioned that this may not represent the latest information and are therefore strongly urged to consult the TSB patent database. ITU 200

19、r (including the MAC Layer) used in cable networks which employ an Out-Of-Band channel architecture. There are two methods used for Out-of-band (OOB) transport in cable systems. These two methods are denoted as Mode A and Mode B, respectively. Their detailed specifications are described in this Reco
20、mmendation. 2 Definitions This Recommendation defines the following terms: 2.1 forward data channel: A data channel carried from the headend to the terminal device in a modulated channel at a rate of 1.544 to 3.088 Mbit/s. The FDC carries IP traffic only for: Conditional access for analogue signals.
21、 Entitlement management messages for digital signals. General messaging. Application download. PC data services. Variable bit rate (VBR) download. Broadcast data. Network management. 2.2 reverse data channel: A data channel transmitted from the terminal device to the headend in a modulated channel a
22、t a rate of 0.256 to 3.088 Mbit/s. The RDC carries IP traffic only for: Messaging. Personal computer data services. Network management. 2.3 upstream: Transmission from terminal device to Headend. 2.4 downstream: Transmission from Headend to terminal device. 2.5 (OOB) Out-of-band: Outside of the prog
23、ramming channels band. The OOB channels provide communication channels between the network and the terminal. 2.6 QPSK/differential coding: A special QPSK system that uses differential encoding scheme to resolve the 90 ambiguity in the detection of the QPSK signal at the demodulator. ITU-T J.184 (03/
24、2001) 23 Requirements In the implementation of digital services over cable television networks, there is a need for messaging and signalling between the cable system headend and the subscriber terminal device in both the forward channel in the downstream direction and the reverse channel in the upst
25、ream direction. These functions are implemented through the use of appropriate transport protocols and of an auxiliary transport stream of adequate data capacity. This auxiliary data stream can be transported in the multiplex that carries the main transport stream for the main programme channel (in-
26、band transmission). It can also be transported as a separate data channel that fits in the lower part of the frequency spectrum, below the one allocated to programme channels in cable television systems (out-of-band transmission). This Recommendation describes out-of-band transport protocols for mes
27、saging and signalling between the cable system headend and subscriber terminal devices in the forward data channel in the downstream direction and the reverse data channel in the upstream direction. Two alternatives are described for the out-of-band transport protocol: Mode A and Mode B. They are sp
28、ecified in Annexes A and B, respectively. Each mode consists of specifications for the forward data channel in the downstream direction and the reverse data channel in the upstream direction. 3.1 Forward Data Channels (FDC) Mode A Forward Data Channel supports a data rate of 2.048 Mbit/s and Mode B
29、supports data rates of 1.544 and 3.088 Mbit/s. Table 1 shows the lower layer protocol stacks for these out-of-band FDCs. It should be noted that in Mode B, time critical aspects of the Media Access Control (MAC) protocol sublayer are implemented in the SL-ESF Frame Payload Structure. The remainder o
30、f the MAC sublayer is implemented via the MAC message in the Payload.

A.4 Out-of-band system specifications This annex specifies the Physical Layer and the Data Link Layer (including the MAC Layer) of the Out-of-Ba
45、nd cable system transport. Clause A.5 describes the Physical Layer protocol. Clause A. 6 describes the Data Link Layer protocol. The MAC Layer specification refers to the DOCSIS 3. However, not all DOCSIS specifications for the MAC Layer are required. The minimum set is specified. Future enhancement
46、s toward full DOCSIS compliance might be expected. This annex assumes that the reader has some: 1) fundamental understanding of the conventional cable frequency plan; and 2) familiarity with the Ethernet specification and the Reed-Solomon Coding of Error Correction Schemes. Also, use of the referenc
47、es denoted in A.3 is highly recommended for a full understanding of this annex. A.5 Physical layer specification This clause describes the physical layer of the Out-Of-Band downstream and upstream channels. A.5.1 Physical layer For OOB transmission The aggregate information rate of the Out-Of-Band (
48、OOB) channel is 2.048 Mbit/s. Up to 1.544 Mbit/s may be utilized for access control and other control information as well as application data, application program downloads, program guides, etc. The OOB data channel provides continuous communication from a Headend to Digital Terminals. The Digital T
49、erminal typically remains powered-up even when it is in the “off“ state. The OOB channel remains active independent of the tuned video channel, whether the received TV channel is analogue or digital, and whether the Digital Terminal box is turned “on“ or “off“. Thus, whenever the Digital Terminal connected to the coaxial cable and AC power, the OOB channel is active for downstream communication.
