• Should the CMTS be re-designed or repackaged to fit on a digital HFC plant?
• We recommend DOCSIS Remote PHY (MHAv2)

Remote Phy (C-DOCSIS type 3)
C-DOCSIS
Developed to provide high network capacity to a
low number of subscribers
Deep digital fiber but coaxial cable to the last 100
meters
–Actives or no actives in the coaxial plant
Plant over subscription occurs in the head end not
the network
–Future bandwidth expansion involves only headend work and not
truck rolls.

MHAv2 Feature Summary
• C-DOCSIS (Baseline Remote PHY)
–Remote DS PHY. Remote US PHY. (DEPI, UEPI)
–Full support of all DOCSIS functionality.
–Core DOCSIS CMTS software is untouched.
• Options (for future use)
–Centralized or remote US scheduler
–Centralized or remote US and DS framers
–IEEE-1588 timing
• CCAP Remote PHY
–Extensions possible for MPEG Video over MHAv2.

The Digital Fiber Paradigm Shift
• The optical node is now directly connected to a network and has an
IP address.
• The HFC plant now becomes a managed IP network.
• This is a big difference from today where the optical node is passive

Technology Overview: Passive Optical Network Landscape
Technology Overview: Passive Optical Networks
• Passive Optical Network (PON) = Set of optical fibre access technologies standardized by ITU-T
& IEEE, (originally created by the Full Service Access Network (FSAN) group):
–OLT is the interface between PON and the CORE network at the service provider’s central office
–ONT/ONU is located near end users. It provides the service interface for the end users
–ODN connects the OLT at the central office to the customer ONT/ONU devices = fibres & splitters
–“ONT” is an ITU-T term to describe a single-tenant ONU

GPON Distribution models
• Centralized Model: One splitter in
the CO; easy upgrade, no fiber
savings, With one splitter in the
field, fiber savings but customers
localized.
• Distributed Model: Several splitters
in the field; Fiber savings and
customer reach but upgrade more
challenging (ODFs in cabinets)
• Hybrid Model : Business customers
with centralized CO approach and
residential customers with
distributed.

Why is Remote Phy
Important?
The future of the HFC plant is digital
optics.
DOCSIS has fantastic service level
features and a world-class MAC and
PHY.
DOCSIS needs Remote Phy in order
to support digital Optics.
