(Main)Integrated broadband cable telecommunication networks (CABLE) - Fourth generation transmission systems for interactive cable television services - IP cable modems - Part 3: MAC and upper layer protocols interface - DOCSIS® 3.1 [ANSI/SCTE 220-2 2016]
General Information
- Abstract
The present document provides the ETSI endorsement of ANSI/SCTE Standard 220-2 [1].
ANSI/SCTE Standard 220-2 is part of a series of specifications that defines the fourth generation of high-speed dataover-
cable systems, commonly referred to as the DOCSIS 3.1 specifications. The standard was developed for the
benefit of the cable industry, and includes contributions by operators and vendors from North and South America,
Europe and Asia.
This generation of the DOCSIS specifications builds upon the previous generations of DOCSIS specifications
(commonly referred to as the DOCSIS 3.0 and earlier specifications), leveraging the existing Media Access Control
(MAC) and Physical (PHY) layers, but with the addition of a new PHY layer designed to improve spectral efficiency
and provide better scaling for larger bandwidths (and appropriate updates to the MAC and management layers to
support the new PHY layer). It includes backward compatibility for the existing PHY layers in order to enable a
seamless migration to the new technology.
ANSI/SCTE Standard 220-2 defines the interface for the MAC and upper layer protocols, and corresponds to the
CableLabs specification [i.1].
