Chapter1 Overview of Cisco uBR7200 Series Software
Supported Software Features for the Cisco uBR7200 Series
An upstream can be configured for a mixed, TDMA/A-TDMA mode, to support both DOCSIS
1.0/DOCSIS 1.1 and DOCSIS 2.0 cable modems on the same upstream.
Note DOCSIS 2.0 A-TDMA cable modems will not register on a TDMA upstream if an A-TDMA or
mixed upstream exists in the same MAC domain, unless the CMTS explicitly switches the cable
modem to another upstream using an Upstream Channel Change (UCC) message. DOCSIS 1.0
and DOCSIS 1.1 cable modems cannot register on an A-TDMA only upstream.
A-TDMA mode defines new interval usage codes (IUC) of A-TDMA short data grants, long data
grants, and Unsolicited Grant Service (UGS) grants (IUC 9, 10, and 11) to supplement the existing
DOCSIS 1.1 IUC types
Increases the maximum channel capacity for A-TDMA upstreams to 30 Mbps per 6 MHz channel.
A-TDMA and mixed modes of operation provide higher bandwidth on the upstream using new
32-QAM and 64-QAM modulation profiles. In addition, an 8-QAM modulation profile is supported.
Supports a minislot size of 1 tick for A-TDMA operations.
Increases channel widths to 6.4 MHz (5.12 Msymbol rate).
