Topics • Digital Subscriber Line • Cable • ADSL versus Cable
Digital Subscriber Lines • Bandwidth versus distanced over category 3 UTP for DSL.
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.
Internet over Cable • Cable television
Compared to Telephone System • The fixed telephone system.
Spectrum Allocation • Frequency allocation in a typical cable TV system used for Internet access
Cable Modems • Typical details of the upstream and downstream channels in North America. - Three lights on the cable modem when it’s on … - 6-8 MHz channels 36 Mbps w/ QAM-64 27 Mbps w/ overhead subtracted - Multiplexing: FDM? TDM? Both? None? Anything else?
