CCAP V03 Major Changes
• OLD VERSION
CCAP can be implemented in a I-CCAP or M-CCAP- If M-CCAP the TR
specifies it must be managed as a single entity.
‒ Modular CCAP is defined as two types of devices
PS (Packet Shelf)- Supporting L3, Subscriber management, and packet processing functions
AS Access Shelf)-Supporting the US and DS PHY functions and DOCSIS MAC
• CCAP V03
• M-CMTS and DTI are allowed
• The CCAP chassis may be deployed in a large chassis, designed to
support a minimum of 40 downstream RF ports. The CCAP could also be
implemented in a smaller chassis, supporting at least 16 downstream RF
ports.

The evolution of DOCSIS is bounded only
by technology and imagination --
both of which themselves are unbounded.

What is DOCSIS 3.1?
• Goals
‒ Allow DOCSIS over HFC to
compete with FTTH solutions.
‒ Achieve 5+ Gbps in the
downstream.
‒ Achieve 1+ Gbps in the
upstream
‒ Backward compatibility story
with DOCSIS 3.0, 2.0, & 1.1.
‒ Better spectral efficiency.
• Technology
‒ OFDM and LDPC
‒ Re-use SCDMA MAC concepts

Backwards Compatibility and
possible Migration to DOCSIS 3.1
54
Backwards Compatibility
• Upstream
‒ ODFM and ATDMA/SCDMA can share the same spectrum
‒ Bonding between OFDMA and ATDMA/SCDMA is possible
• Downstream
‒ Bonding between OFDM and SC-QAM is supported.
• This allows a gradual and evolutionary introduction of DOCSIS 3.1.
‒ This is a distinct competitive advantage that DOCSIS has over other non-DOCSIS solutions
such as EPOC.
• DOCSIS 3.0 will get capped. The target cap is 16x4 or 24x8.

Possible HFC Migration Strategies
Towards DOCSIS 3.1
• A: Initially run D3.1 CMs in D3.0 mode (avoiding RF Data Simulcasting Tax)
• B: For US, enable OFDMA and perform channel bonding with legacy D3.0
• C: Increase D3.1 CM count in SG. Enable some DS OFDM channels & bond with legacy D3.0
• D: Use existing passives with OFDM & 1.2+ GHz electronics as required Phase 3
• E: We Could End Up With One Advanced PHY (OFDM/LDPC) For The Entire Spectrum as our Target Architecture

HFC Plant Legacy Issues
• The legacy migration concerns with mid-split and high-split such as analog TV, RF
interference, ADI and OOB, have workable solutions.
• Analog TV can be reduced, removed, or remapped.
• Interference with specific OTA signals can be managed by attenuating specific
OFDM tones.
• ADI = Adjacent Device Interference
‒ HPF needed on coax in same house as mid/high-split HGW
‒ Adjacent home should be okay if coax design is good.
• OOB can be replaced by DSG on most devices
• A Legacy Mitigation Device (LMA) can be used to fix OOB and ADI concerns if and
when they occur.

DOCSIS 3.1 Technical Summary
• Backwards compatibility
‒ CM and CMTS support D3.0 and D3.1.
‒ D3.0 gets capped. Target is between 8x4 to 32x8 with 1-2 ch SCDMA
‒ For D3.1, SCDMA is required on the CM and optional on the CMTS.
• Downstream
‒DS spectrum extends to 1150 MHz and to 1.7 GHz over time.
‒OFDM & LDPC
‒Target operation is 1024-QAM. Spec up to 4K QAM.
• Upstream
‒ Target US Spectrum is 5 to 230 MHz (known as high-split).
‒ OFDMA
‒ LDPC & BCH FEC (SC-QAM will not be expanded to include a new FEC)
‒ Target operation is 256-QAM. Spec up to 4K QAM.
‒ OFDMA MAC is based upon SCDMA MAC.

• If DPoE is utilized then EPOC can share CMTS chassis and • Coax network must share RF spectrum with HFC and
use common provisioning tools. current services
• Multiple possible RF spectrum solutions, (i.e. Top Split,

DOCSIS 3.1 vs IEEE EPOC
Topic Comment
Spectrum Planning Same spectrum available to both
DPoE does not provide DOCSIS features to EPON/EPOC. DPoE only provides a
translation from DOCSIS provisioning to EPON features.
BRKSPG-2016 © 2013 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Public
DOCSIS 3.1 vs IEEE EPOC
Since EPOC and DOCSIS 3.1 will use the same PHY, there will be no difference in RF Spectrum
efficiency between DOCSIS 3.1 and EPOC
EPoC is not backwards compatible with DOCSIS and therefore cannot bond with SC QAM (Single
Channel QAM)
The coexistence of EPoC and DOCSIS requires segregated RF spectrum for both technologies
When provisioning 1 GHz EPoC, none of the previous investment in DOCSIS QAM’s can be
leveraged
The initial investment in EPoC is much higher than scaling DOCSIS 3.0 or the evolution to
DOCSIS 3.1
Although the total CAPEX for DOCSIS 3.0 and EPoC is similar, the evolution to DOCSIS 3.1 and
the value of Capital over time indicates DOCSIS 3.1 is a wise investment

Conclusions
BRKSPG-2016 © 2013 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Public
CCAP Conclusions
• MSO’s will cherry pick the parts of CCAP that suits them
‒ Density
‒ Power
‒ Rack space
‒ (to reduce cost per DS)
• Mention plans for convergence (video/DOCSIS) and objections are put
forward
‒ “Video and data operations will remain separate entities”...........So why CCAP ?
• What does CCAP give to offer service protection and competitive edge.
‒ DOCSIS 3.0 .............Is it today’s technology spun differently .
