Digital Subscriber Lines • Operation of ADSL using discretemultitonemodulation (OFDM, actually) - Channels – 0: voice, 1-5: not used, 6-30 upstream, 31-255 downstream - Each channel: QAM at the rate of 4000 baud, 0-15 bits/symbol depending on SNR - Multiplexing: FDM? TDM? Both? None?
Digital Subscriber Lines • A typical ADSL equipment configuration.
Cable Television • Community Antenna Television • Internet over Cable • Spectrum Allocation • Cable Modems
Community Antenna Television • An early cable television system.
