Channel Bonding
 In a nutshell, channel bonding means data is
transmitted to or from CMs using multiple individual
RF channels instead of just one channel
 Channels aren't physically bonded into a gigantic
digitally modulated signal; bonding is logical
With DOCSIS 3.0, data is transmitted to
With DOCSIS 1.x & 2.0, data is
transmitted to modems using one channel modems using multiple channels

Reasons DRFI went Beyond D2.0 RFI
 Applies to CMTS, D3.0, or multi-carrier CMTS DS connector
 Cleaned up ambiguity in 2.0 and lower
– Noise dBmV changed to dBc
 Allows more channels per connector

– DOCSIS 2.0 and lower was only single carrier
 M-CMTS architecture & D3.0 both reference DRFI

– Less expensive E-QAMs, MxN mac domains
 Performance goal was analog protection given analog ch

lineup of 2-13 (54-216 MHz)
– Digital chs justified to upper end of spectrum
– Criteria was 60 dB CNR for all combined sources
– Not necessary for digital communication nor sparser lineup

DOCSIS 3.0 DS Considerations
 Frequency Assignments
– CMTS may be limited to 860 MHz or 1 GHz
– CM’s may be limited to 50 or 60 MHz passband
 Testing and maintaining multiple DS channels

– Physical channels have not changed for DOCSIS 3.0
– Test equip with built-in CM’s need to support bonding
 DS isolation issues
 DS channel bonding max power with 4 freqs stacked
– Four channels stacked on 1 connector limited to 52 dBmV/ch
• DOCSIS 1.x/2.0 DS is 61 dBmV max output
DOCSIS 3.0 –
Upstream Channel
Bonding Details
Upstream Bonding Service Drivers
 Competition against FTTH
– Deliver 20+ Mbps
 High BW residential data

 User generated content
– Video and photo uploads
– Proliferation of social sites
 Video conferencing
– TelePresence
 Commercial service
– High BW symmetrical data services
– Bonded T1
– High BW Ethernet/L2VPN service
Upstream Bonding - Features
 Packet Striping of a minimum of 4 channels

– Delivers in excess of 50 Mbps
 AES and scalability require hardware upgrade
 New CM silicon required
 Phased and seamless technology migration
D2.0 is Still Not Used
 27.2 Mbps total aggregate speed
 Achieved 18 Mbps for single CM on US
– Fragmentation and concatenation with a huge max burst
 Linerate possible of ~ 27 Mbps
 Make sure 1.0 CMs, which can’t fragment, have a max burst < 2000 B
 2.0 increases the EQ tap length from 8 to 24
– Supported in ATDMA & mixed mode
– Off by default

Upstream Adaptive Equalization Example
Upstream 6.4 MHz bandwidth 64-QAM signal
Before adaptive equalization:
Substantial in-channel tilt caused
correctable FEC errors to increment
at a rate of about 7000 errored
codewords per second (232 bytes per
codeword). The CMTS’s reported
upstream MER (SNR) was 23 dB.
After adaptive equalization:

DOCSIS 2.0’s 24-tap adaptive equalization
—actually pre-equalization in the modem
—was able to compensate for nearly all of
the in-channel tilt (with no change in
digital channel power). The result: No
correctable or uncorrectable FEC errors
and the CMTS’s reported upstream MER
(SNR) increased to ~36 dB.
DOCSIS 3.0 Upstream Channel Bonding
 Upstream Channel Bonding
– Bonding process is controlled by the CMTS
– Bandwidth grants are given per flow across one or more
upstream channels as CM’s make requests
– New packet streaming protocol called Continuous
Concatenation and Fragmentation.
• Allows a looser coupling between requests and grants
• Enables the CM to have multiple requests outstanding
simultaneously
 Bonding Mechanism
– Upstream channels are synchronized to a master clock
source
DOCSIS 3.0 US Considerations
 Frequency Stacking Levels
– What is the CM max output with multiple channels stacked
– Could it cause laser clipping?
 Diplex Filter Expansion to 85 MHz
– If amplifier upgrades are planned for 1 GHz, then
pluggable diplex filters may be warranted to expand to 85
MHz on the US…one truck roll
– Still must address existing CPE equipment in the field and
potential overload
 Monitoring, Testing, & Troubleshooting
– Test equipment needs to have D3.0 capabilities
DOCSIS 3.0 US Considerations (cont)
US Frequency and Level Issues
 Max Tx for D2.0 64-QAM for 1 channel is 54 dBmV
 D3.0 US channel max power
– Tx for D3.0 TDMA
• 17 - 57 dBmV (32 & 64-QAM)
• 58 dBmV (8 & 16-QAM)
• 61 dBmV (QPSK)
– Tx for D3.0 S-CDMA
• 17 - 56 dBmV (all modulations)
 Max Tx per channel for 4 freqs stacked at 64-QAM ATDMA
is only 51 dBmV & 53 for S-CDMA
US MER/SNR Issues
 Increasing channel width from 3.2 to 6.4 keeps
same average power for single carrier
– SNR drops by 3 dB or more
 Keeping same power/Hz could cause max Tx level
from CM’s and/or laser clipping/overload
 Equalized vs unequalized MER readings
 Modulation profile choices
– QPSK for maintenance, 64-QAM for Data, 16-QAM for
VoIP?
 Pre-EQ affect
– Great feature in 1.1 & > CMs, but could mask issues
Channel Placement
 Frequencies can be anywhere in US passband and
do not need to be contiguous
 It may be wise to keep relatively close so plant
problems like attenuation and tilt don’t cause issues
 CM should have some dynamic range to allow
specific channels to be a few dB different vs. other
channels
 Channels are separate and can have different phy
layer attributes such as modulation, channel width
ATDMA General Deployment Recommendations
 After increasing CW to 6.4 MHz, measure & document

unequalized US MER at multiple test points in the plant
– Use PathTrak Return Path Monitoring System linecard
– Or Sunrise Telecom Upstream Characterization toolkit
 25 dB or higher Unequalized MER is recommended
– Less than 25 dB reduces operating margin
– Check US MER as well as per-CM MER
 Pick freq < 30 MHz - away from diplex filter group delay
 Make sure latest IOS version is running on CMTS
 Turn on Pre-Equalization

Migration Strategy
Initial Migration Goal
 Deliver very high speed data service
– Deliver 100+ Mbps DS
– Deliver 50+ Mbps US
 Reduction of node split cost

– Multiple DSs per node
• M-CMTS or I-CMTS load balancing
– Multiple USs per node
• Leverage existing ports and deploy 2.0 USs
 BW flexibility & reduction of CMTS port cost

– Break DS/US dependence i.e. independent scalability of US and DS
– Reduce cost of DS ports by more than 1/10
– Reduce CMTS port/subscriber cost by 30-50%
Migration Strategy
 Target CMTS upgrades in high priority markets
– FiOS & U-Verse competitive markets
– High growth & demographics
– Markets with capacity issues
– Your node 
 Add more DS QAMs per service group and load
balancing
– Via I-CMTS and M-CMTS
– Current 1x4 mac domain leaves US stranded
– Increase capacity to existing 1.x/2.0 modem
Migration Strategy (cont)
 Deliver targeted bonded DS channels to DOCSIS

3.0 CMs
 Video and data convergence
– Video and DOCSIS service group alignment
– DSG & Tru2way will leverage DOCSIS DS BW
 Share & leverage existing assets
– UEQAMs for VoD, SDV and DOCSIS
– UERM to enable QAM sharing
Cisco VDOC
What is VDOC?
 Solution for the delivery of managed IPTV services
over a DOCSIS network
 Broadcast TV and VoD services
 TV, PC, and other devices in the home
 Provide user experience subscribers expect from
their cable operator
IPTV – Even better on cable
 Fat Pipes – DOCSIS 3.0
 VBR video
 IP/IP signaling/bearer channel as opposed to
IP/MPEG
 One Network (voice, video, data) to deliver them all
 Delivery to alternate CPE outlets – PCs, Wifi PDAs
(iPhone)
 “Off-net” possibilities

Efficiency Gains from VBR Video
 Support 40 – 60% more streams with VBR video
 Law of large number works in favor of VBR statmux in fat pipe
DOCSIS 3.0 Channel Bonding Concepts
 A CM is unaware of the concept of bonding groups; it is only aware of
the set of downstreams it must tune to and the flows it must forward,
as instructed by the CMTS
 A CM can receive traffic from multiple BGs simultaneously
–Bonding groups may have different aggregate BW based on services
supported, ie 1 BG = HSD and another BG = IPTV
 Different CMs in a Service Group can receive traffic from different
bonding groups, ie different BGs based on subscription levels
 CM may tune to a subset of the downstreams configured for a SG
–Number of receive channels on CM does not need to equal number of RF
channels allocated to DOCSIS service (HSD/VoIP/IPTV)
Bonding Group Selection
 A CM can receive traffic from multiple BGs
 Operator can steer flows to particular BGs by configuring
Service Flow attributes for each BG
–CMTS uses SF-attributes when selecting BG for a flow
 Operator could choose to set aside a BG for Cable IPTV
and a separate BG for HSD/VoIP
