6、OREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (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 study
7、ing technical, operating 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 group
8、s which, in turn, produce 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 IS
9、O and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “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 provision
10、s (to ensure e.g. interoperability or applicability) 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 wo
11、rds does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is required of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS ITU 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 co
12、ncerning 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 Recommendation, ITU had not received notice of intellectual property, protected by
13、 patents, which may be required to implement this 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/.

32、01 Bibliography. 503 Rec. ITU-T J.122 (12/2007) 1 Recommendation ITU-T J.122 Second-generation transmission systems for interactive cable television services IP cable modems 1 Scope and purpose 1.1 Scope This Recommendation defines the second generation of radio-frequency interface specifications fo
33、r high-speed data-over-cable systems. There are differences in the cable spectrum planning practices adopted for different networks in the world. Therefore, three options for physical layer technology are included, which have equal priority and are not required to be interoperable. One technology op
34、tion is based on the downstream multi-programme television distribution that is deployed using 6 MHz channelling, and supports upstream transmission in the 5-42 MHz region. The second technology option is based on a multi-programme television distribution using 8 MHz channel spacing and supports ups
35、tream in the 5-65 MHz region. The third technology option is based on 6 MHz channel spacing and supports upstream in the 10-55 MHz region. All options have equal status. The first of these options is defined in clauses 4, 6 and 7, whereas the second and third are defined by replacing the content of
36、those clauses with the content of Annex F or Annex J. Compliance with this Recommendation requires compliance with only one of these implementations. It is not required that equipment built to one option shall interoperate with equipment built to another. These optional physical-layer technologies a
37、llow operators some flexibility within any frequency planning, EMC and safety requirements that are mandated for their area of operation. For example, the 6 MHz downstream-based option defined by clauses 4, 6 and 7 might be deployable within an 8 MHz channel plan. Frequency planning, safety and EMC
38、requirements are a national matter and are not covered by this Recommendation. Compliance remains the operators responsibility. All optional physical-layer technologies are required to be backwards compatible with the earlier versions of those options defined in DOCS9, DOCS11 and DOCS12. NOTE The st
39、ructure and content of this Recommendation have been organized for ease of use by those familiar with the original source material; as such, the usual style of ITU-T recommendations has not been applied. 1.2 Requirements If this Recommendation is implemented, the key words “MUST“ and “SHALL“ as well
40、 as “REQUIRED“ are to be interpreted as indicating a mandatory aspect of this Recommendation. The keywords indicating a certain level of significance of a particular requirement that are used throughout this Recommendation are summarized below. MUST This word or the adjective “REQUIRED“ means that t
41、he item is an absolute requirement of this Recommendation. MUST NOT This phrase means that the item is an absolute prohibition of this Recommendation. SHOULD This word or the adjective “RECOMMENDED“ means that there may exist valid reasons in particular circumstances to ignore this item, but the ful
42、l implications 2 Rec. ITU-T J.122 (12/2007) should be understood and the case carefully weighed before choosing a different course. SHOULD NOT This phrase means that there may exist valid reasons in particular circumstances when the listed behaviour is acceptable or even useful, but the full implica
43、tions should be understood and the case carefully weighed before implementing any behaviour described with this label. MAY This word or the adjective “OPTIONAL“ means that this item is truly optional. One vendor may choose to include the item because a particular marketplace requires it or because i
44、t enhances the product, for example; another vendor may omit the same item. This Recommendation defines many features and parameters, and a valid range for each parameter is usually specified. Equipment (CM and CMTS) requirements are always explicitly stated. Equipment must comply with all mandatory
45、 (MUST and MUST NOT) requirements to be considered compliant with this Recommendation. Support of non-mandatory features and parameter values is optional. 1.3 Background 1.3.1 Service goals As cable operators have widely deployed high-speed data services on cable television systems, the demand for u
46、pstream bandwidth has increased, particularly with the popularity of more symmetric data applications. The current Recommendation has been created for the purpose of increasing channel capacity and improving noise immunity. The intended service will allow transparent bidirectional transfer of Intern
47、et protocol (IP) traffic, between the cable system headend and customer locations, over an all-coaxial or hybrid-fibre/coax (HFC) cable network. This is shown in simplified form in Figure 1-1. Figure 1-1 Transparent IP traffic through the data-over-cable system The transmission path over the cable s
48、ystem is realized at the headend by a cable modem termination system (CMTS), and at each customer location by a cable modem (CM). At the headend (or hub), the interface to the data-over-cable system is called the cable modem termination system-network side interface (CMTS-NSI). At the customer locat
49、ions, the interface is called the cable-modem-to-customer-premises-equipment interface (CMCI). The intent is for operators to transparently transfer IP traffic between these interfaces, including but not limited to datagrams, DHCP, ICMP and IP group addressing (broadcast and multicast). 1.3.2 Reference architecture The reference architecture for the data-over-cable services and interfaces is shown in Figure 1-2. 3 Rec.
