|
Field |
| Description |
|
|
|
DS Symbol Rate |
| Downstream frequency in symbols per second. |
|
|
|
DS QAM Mode |
| Downstream modulation scheme being used by the Cisco uBR924. |
|
|
|
DS Search |
| Frequency bands scanned by the Cisco uBR924 when searching for a downstream |
|
| channel. The Cisco uBR924’s default frequency bands correspond to the North |
|
| American EIA CATV channel plan for 6 MHz channel slots between 90 MHz and |
|
| 858 MHz. |
|
|
|
US ID |
| Identifier of the upstream channel to which this MAC management message refers. |
|
| This identifier is arbitrarily chosen by the CMTS and is only unique within the |
|
| |
|
|
|
US Frequency |
| Transmission frequency used by the Cisco uBR924 in the upstream direction. |
|
|
|
US Power Level |
| Transmit power level of the Cisco uBR924 in the upstream direction. |
|
|
|
US Symbol Rate |
| Upstream frequency in symbols per second. |
|
|
|
Ranging Offset |
| Delay correction (in increments of 6.25 µs/64) applied by the Cisco uBR924 to the |
|
| CMTS upstream frame time derived at the Cisco uBR924. Used to synchronize the |
|
| upstream transmissions in the time division multiple access (TDMA) scheme, this |
|
| value is roughly equal to the |
|
|
|
| Size T of the | |
|
| 6.25 µs. Allowable values are 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, or 128. |
|
|
|
Change Count |
| Incremented by 1 by the CMTS whenever any of the values of this channel descriptor |
|
| change. If the value of this count in a sebsequent upstream channel descriptor (UCD) |
|
| remains the same, the Cisco uBR924 can quickly decide that the remaining fields |
|
| have not changed, and may be able to disregard the remainder of the message. |
|
|
|
Preamble Pattern |
| Byte pattern used for the preamble. |
|
|
|
Burst Descriptor: |
| A compound type/length/value (TLV) encoding that defines, for each type of |
|
| upstream usage interval, the |
|
| that interval. Each burst descriptor is given an identifying number. |
Interval Usage Code | Each upstream transmit burst belongs to a class which is given a number called the | |
|
| IUC (interval usage code). Bandwidth MAP messages are used by IUC codes to |
|
| allocate upstream time slots. The following types are currently defined: |
|
| 1. Request: bandwidth request slot |
|
| 2. Request/Data: bandwidth request or data slot |
|
| 3. Initial Maintenance: initial link registration contention slot |
|
| 4. Station Maintenance: link |
|
| 5. Short Data Grant: short data burst slot |
|
| 6. Long Data Grant: long data burst slot |
|
| |
Modulation Type | Upstream modulation format. (1 = QPSK; 2 = 16QAM) | |
|
| |
Differential Encoding | Indicates whether or not differential encoding is used. (1 = yes; 2 = no) | |
|
|
|
Preamble Length |
| Length of the preamble in bits. This value must be an integral number of |
|
| multiple of 2 for QPSK; a multiple of 4 for 16QAM. |
|
| |
FEC Error Correction | Length of the forward error correction in bytes. The range is | |
|
| implies no forward error correction. |
|
| |
FEC Codeword Info Bytes | Number of information bytes in the FEC codeword. | |
|
|
|
Scrambler Seed |
| |
|
| cleared. Not used if scrambler is off. |
