3、ications Summary Recommendation ITU-T J.1103 describes the transmission specifications of IP-based switched digital video (SDV) using data over cable service interface specifications (DOCSIS) in a digital cable network. The cable broadcasting system has been changed to use resources efficiently and
4、to transmit said resources in such a way that the varying needs of subscribers are easily accommodated. The transmission specifications described in this Recommendation are defined according to Recommendation ITU-T J.1101, Functional requirements for IP-based switched digital video using data over c
5、able service interface specifications. These specifications are designed to maintain quality of service (QoS) while using bandwidth effectively in a hybrid fibre/coaxial (HFC) network environment.

7、n (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications, information and communication technologies (ICTs). The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions an
8、d 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 Recommendations on the
9、se 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 Recommendation, the expr
10、ession “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure, e.g., interoperability or applicab
11、ility) and compliance with the Recommendation is achieved when all of these mandatory provisions are met. The words “shall“ or some other obligatory language such as “must“ and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of such words does not suggest that compliance with the
12、Recommendation is required of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTSITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicabilit
13、y 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 Recommendation, ITU had not received notice of intellectual property, protected by patents, which may be required to implement th
14、is Recommendation. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent the latest information and are therefore strongly urged to consult the TSB patent database at http:/www.itu.int/ITU-T/ipr/.

30、 Video Service Interface 5 Conventions In this Recommendation: The keywords “is required to“ indicate a requirement which must be strictly followed and from which no deviation is permitted if conformance to this document is to be claimed. The keywords “is recommended“ indicate a requirement which is
31、 recommended but which is not absolutely required. Thus this requirement need not be present to claim conformance. The keywords “is prohibited from“ indicate a requirement which must be strictly followed and from which no deviation is permitted if conformance to this document is to be claimed. The k
32、eywords “can optionally“ indicate an optional requirement which is permissible, without implying any sense of being recommended. This term is not intended to imply that the vendors implementation must provide the option and the feature can be optionally enabled by the network operator/service provid
33、er. Rather, it means the vendor may optionally provide the feature and still claim conformance with the specification. In the body of this Recommendation and its annexes, the words shall, shall not, should, and may sometimes appear, in which case they are to be interpreted, respectively, as is requi
34、red to, is prohibited from, is recommended, and can optionally. The appearance of such phrases or keywords in an appendix or in material explicitly marked as informative are to be interpreted as having no normative intent. 6 IP-based SDV reference model As shown in Figure 1, functionally IP-based SD
35、V using the DOCSIS system can be categorized into three parts: the transmission function the subscriber function the control function. 4 Rec. ITU-T J.1103 (08/2015) Figure 1 Diagram of an IP-based switched digital video system 6.1 Transmission function The transmission function processes the DOCSIS
36、frame header and transmits it to the multicast service group. The transmission function consists of an SDV transmission function and a downstream PHY function. The SDV transmission function processes service flow and packet header processing on the DOCSIS MAC layer ITU-T J.222.2. The downstream PHY
37、function transmits the DOCSIS header processed video stream to the subscriber. 6.1.1 SDV transmission function The SDV transmission function processes service flow and does packet header processing on the DOCSIS MAC layer. 6.1.2 Downstream PHY function The downstream PHY ITU-T J.222.1 function trans
38、mits the DOCSIS header processed video stream to the subscriber. 6.2 Subscriber function The subscriber function processes the video data stream from the transmission function. The subscriber function consists of the SDV client service function and SDV receiver function. The subscriber function also
39、 sends request information of an SDV video service programme to the control function. 6.2.1 SDV client function The SDV client function recovers an IP-based received video data stream from an MPEG-2 based video stream and outputs it to the set-top box (STB). 6.2.2 SDV receiver function The SDV recei
40、ver function processes physical signal processing; it is a function of the DOCSIS cable modem. Rec. ITU-T J.1103 (08/2015) 5 7 Transmission specification Figure 2 shows the structure of an IP-based SDV transmission module. The IP-based SDV transmission module is required to consist of service flow p
41、rocessing, packet scheduling, MAC header processing and MPEG-2 TS convergence. Service flow processing is required to obtain the following information on input packets: the packet type, the service flow ID, the downstream service ID, the transmission priority and the available downstream transmissio
42、n channel list. Packet scheduling is required to schedule the service flow by deciding on the available downstream channel, multiplexing the DOCSIS management message and multicasting the video data packet. MAC header processing is required to process the packet according to the transmission priorit
43、y and to create the DOCSIS MAC header according to the service flow information of the input packet. MPEG-2 TS convergence is required to place the DOCSIS MAC frame in the queue and to map the DOCSIS MAC frame to MPEG-2 TS. Figure 2 The architecture of IP-based SDV transmission 7.1 Service flow proc

The TYPE part consists of five elements as follows: TYPE_CAST, TYPE_BOND, TYPE_PRIORITY, TYPE_MESSAGE and TYPE_RSVD. 6 R
