Data Transmission Schmes: DOCSIS

Several schemes have been designed to create a standard for data transmission over an HFC network. Prevalent is the one devised by Multimedia Cable Network Systems (MCSN), called Data over Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS). DOCSIS is an international standard developed by CableLabs and contributing companies. Cable Television Laboratories, also called CableLabs, is a non- profit research and development consortium. DOCSISI.O was ratified as ITU-T J. 112 and ITU-T J.222 for DOCSIS 3.0.

SONET

The ANSI standard is called the Synchronous Optical Network (SONET). The ITU-T standard is called the Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH). SONET/SDH is a synchronous network. A single clock is used to handle the timing of transmissions. Network-wide synchronization adds a level of predictability to the system.
