Reasons to Develop DRFI Beyond D 2. 0 RFI § Required to specify a multi-channel environment – DOCSIS 2. 0 and lower was only single carrier § Cleaned up inaccuracies in 2. 0 and lower § Basic idea was no need for external combiner, laser loading concerns and cost reduction? § Criteria was 60 d. B CNR assuming a worse case lineup § Applies only to 3. 0 CMTS or any multi-carrier DS connector (e-qam) Presentation_ID © 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential 14

D 2. 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 Presentation_ID © 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc.

DOCSIS 1. 1 Phy Change (PRE-EQ) § US EQ is supported on all cards for 1. 0 & 1. 1 – 8 -tap blind equalizer § 1. 1 allows 'pre-eq' where EQ coefficients are sent during IM & SM allowing CM to pre-distort its signal § Supported on all linecards & IOS that support 1. 1 – Requires 1. 1 capable CMs, but not. cm file – Configurable option § 2. 0 increases the EQ tap length from 8 to 24 – Supported on U/H cards in ATDMA & mixed mode – Off by default Presentation_ID © 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential 22

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 d. B. 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 d. B. Presentation_ID © 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.

Bandwidth Management Presentation_ID © 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential 31

Bandwidth Management Solutions § SDV – Offer more HD and SD content using less total RF spectrum with the same STB – Only transmit the content being actively watched – Could make more QAMs available for DOCSIS and VOD if QAM sharing is implemented § Node splits – Physically reduce the homes passed per HFC node, thus reduce contention per home for Unicast services – Decombine more attractive – Triggers additional QAMs and CMTS Ports Presentation_ID © 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential 32

Bandwidth Management Solutions (cont) § Traffic “Grooming” § MPEG-4 § Broadcast to narrowcast QAM injection – Reduce broadcast domains to smaller DOCSIS & video service groups – Ultimately a complete Unicast lineup on a per node basis § Analog reclamation for more digital spectrum – More QAM channels for Digital Broadcast, Vo. D, SDV and DOCSIS § Use every channel available – Manage the channel lineup, fill in the gaps, mitigate noise to enable all spectrum § 1 GHz upgrade – Make new spectrum for new CPE above 860 MHz Presentation_ID © 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential 33

1 GHz Upgrade 1 GHz Bandwidth Enhancement & Segmentation • Network Impact • <= 750 MHz of BW may not be enough • Node splitting & SDV alone do not solve HFC BW problem • 1 GHz BW upgrade required • 1 GHz Network Benefits • Value added capacity • 60 analog 6 MHz chs gained • Minimal cost per home passed cost to implement • Electronic-only drop-ins in most cases Presentation_ID © 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc.

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% Presentation_ID © 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential 37

Migration Strategy § Target CMTS upgrades in high priority markets – Fi. OS & 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 1 x 4 mac domain leaves US stranded – Increase capacity to existing 1. x/2. 0 modem Presentation_ID © 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential 38

Migration Strategy (cont) § Deliver targeted bonded DS chs to DOCSIS 3. 0 CMs § Video and data convergence – Video and DOCSIS service group alignment – DSG & Tru 2 way will leverage DOCSIS DS BW § Share & leverage existing assets – UEQAMs for Vo.
