1 Scope
The present document is part 1 of a multi-part series of specifications that define the third generation of high-speed
data-over-cable systems. This series was developed for the benefit of the cable industry, and includes contributions by
operators and vendors from North America, Europe, and other regions. All documents in this series are required to
implement the third-generation transmission system for interactive cable television services.
1.1 Technology Options
This multi-part deliverable includes two technology options that have equal priority and are not required to be
interoperable. One technology option is based on the downstream multi-program television distribution that is deployed
in North America using 6 MHz channelling. The other technology option is based on the corresponding European
multi-program television distribution. Both options have the same status. Compliance with the present document
requires compliance with the one or the other of these implementations, not with both. It is not required that equipment
built to one option shall interoperate with equipment built to the other.
These technology options allow operators flexibility in mandated areas of operation, including any frequency planning,
EMC (electromagnetic compatibility), and safety requirements. For instance, the 6 MHz downstream based option
defined in EN 302 878-2 [1] might be deployable within an 8 MHz channel plan.
Backwards compatibility with earlier versions of that technology is only ensured within the same technology options
referred to above and not between the two options.
1.2 Background
1.2.1 Broadband Access Network
A coaxial-based broadband access network is assumed. This may take the form of either an all-coax or hybrid-
fibre/coax network. The generic term "cable network" is used here to cover all cases.
A cable network uses a tree-and-branch architecture with analog transmission. The key functional characteristics
assumed in the present document are the following:
• Two-way transmission.
• A maximum optical/electrical spacing between the CMTS and the most distant CM of 100 miles (160 km) in
each direction, although typical maximum separation may be 10 miles to 15 miles (16 km to 24 km).
• A maximum differential optical/electrical spacing between the CMTS and the closest and most distant
modems of 100 miles (160 km) in each direction, although this would typically be limited to 15 miles (24 km).
At a propagation velocity in fibre of approximately 1,5 ns/ft (5 ns/m), 100 miles (160 km) of fibre in each direction
results in a round-trip delay of approximately 1,6 ms.

pertaining to these essential IPRs, if any, is publicly available for ETSI members and non-members, and can be found
in ETSI SR 000 314: "Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs); Essential, or potentially Essential, IPRs notified to ETSI in
respect of ETSI standards", which is available from the ETSI Secretariat. Latest updates are available on the ETSI Web
server (http://ipr.etsi.org).
Pursuant to the ETSI IPR Policy, no investigation, including IPR searches, has been carried out by ETSI. No guarantee
can be given as to the existence of other IPRs not referenced in ETSI SR 000 314 (or the updates on the ETSI Web
server) which are, or may be, or may become, essential to the present document.
Foreword
This European Standard (EN) has been produced by ETSI Technical Committee Access, Terminals, Transmission and
Multiplexing (ATTM).
The present document is part 1 of a multi-part deliverable covering the Third Generation Transmission Systems for
Interactive Cable Television Services - IP Cable Modems, as identified below:
Part 1: "General; DOCSIS 3.0";
Part 2: "Physical Layer; DOCSIS 3.0";
Part 3: "Downstream Radio Frequency Interface; DOCSIS 3.0";
Part 4: "MAC and Upper Layer Protocols; DOCSIS 3.0";
Part 5: "Security Services; DOCSIS 3.0".
This multi-part deliverable is based on the CableLabs DOCSIS set of specifications which are also standardized in the
United States by SCTE. Table 1 indicates for the specifications in this series the equivalent CableLabs DOCSIS
specifications and SCTE Standards.

1 Scope
The present document is part 1 of a multi-part series of specifications that define the third generation of high-speed
data-over-cable systems. This series was developed for the benefit of the cable industry, and includes contributions by
operators and vendors from North America, Europe, and other regions. All documents in this series are required to
implement the third-generation transmission system for interactive cable television services.
1.1 Technology Options
This multi-part deliverable includes two technology options that have equal priority and are not required to be
interoperable. One technology option is based on the downstream multi-program television distribution that is deployed
in North America using 6 MHz channelling. The other technology option is based on the corresponding European
multi-program television distribution. Both options have the same status. Compliance with the present document
requires compliance with the one or the other of these implementations, not with both. It is not required that equipment
built to one option will interoperate with equipment built to the other.
These technology options allow operators flexibility in mandated areas of operation, including any frequency planning,
EMC (electromagnetic compatibility), and safety requirements. For instance, the 6 MHz downstream based option
defined in EN 302 878-2 [1] might be deployable within an 8 MHz channel plan.
Backwards compatibility with earlier versions of that technology is only ensured within the same technology options
referred to above and not between the two options.
1.2 Background
1.2.1 Broadband Access Network
A coaxial-based broadband access network is assumed. This may take the form of either an all-coax or Hybrid
Fibre/Coaxial network. The generic term "cable network" is used here to cover all cases.
A cable network uses a tree-and-branch architecture with analog transmission. The key functional characteristics
assumed in the present document are the following:
• Two-way transmission.
• A maximum optical/electrical spacing between the CMTS and the most distant CM of 100 miles (160 km) in
each direction, although typical maximum separation may be 10 miles to 15 miles (16 km to 24 km).
• A maximum differential optical/electrical spacing between the CMTS and the closest and most distant
modems of 100 miles (160 km) in each direction, although this would typically be limited to 15 miles (24 km).
At a propagation velocity in fibre of approximately 1,5 ns/ft (5 ns/m), 100 miles (160 km) of fibre in each direction
results in a round-trip delay of approximately 1,6 ms.
