Chapter 7Performance optimisation for the support of TCIS pvariable size (ranging from 16 to 253 bytes). These codewords contain FEC parity, alsoof variable size (from 0 to 10 bytes). Both a preamble and guard time fields of variablelength are then added at the beginning and at the end of all the codewords forsynchronization purposes between the CM and the CMTS. Such codewords aretransmitted as a continuous series of minislots. The size of the minislot is set by theCMTS during initialisation but can be varied. The length of a minislot is a multiple of6.25µs (i.e. 8, 16, 32 bytes etc.).In the upstream, DVB/DAVIC uses a 64-byte slot format for the transmission of data atthe physical layer. The slot format consists of a Unique Word which provides a burstmode acquisition method, a payload area that contains a single ATM cell and a Reed-Solomon parity field [34], which provides 3-bytes of FEC over the payload area and aGuard Band field for synchronization. The basic characteristics of these two protocolsare outlined in Table 7.4.Table 7.4 – Technical characteristics.Feature DVB/DAVIC DOCSISServicesInternet access, high speed interactive Settop-box,Internet access, low speed interactive Set-top-VoIP, SNMPbox, VoIP,SNMPUpstream Packet Format 64-byte Slot based on a ATM cell transport Variable Length (based on 64-1500 byteswith IP adaptation layer translationEthernet packets), Native IP with QoSQoS Granularity 53 bytes + 11 bytes PHY overhead 8-16 bytesQoS ServicesCollision ResolutionBE plus ATM derived class of services:CBR, ABR.Exponential backoff and Splitting treealgorismBE, CIR and prioritisation in DOCSIS 1.0 andRTP, nrt-RTP, UGS added in DOCSIS 1.1Exponential backoff algorithmATM Support Mandatory OptionalAccess Modes Ranging, contention, reservation and fixed Contention and reservationSecurity RSA/DES Encryption and clone detection RSA/DES Encryption and clone detectionCommercial Deployment DVB/DAVIC EM: Q3-99, Q3-00.

The analysis focuses on theperformance comparison for the upstream channel, which is the limiting factor onCATV networks (as stated in Section 1.2.2), and is critical in the delivery of services toindividual subscribers on demand. Key issues of the analyses address the followingperformance comparisons: protocol efficiency and volumetric data at the physical layer,7-27
