Aiming to significantly increase upstream speeds on its cable network and create the potential of offering multi-Gbps symmetric services, CableLabs has announced a Full Duplex DOCSIS 3.1 specification project.
docsis 3.1This has “created a lot of excitement within the industry,” said Belal Hamzeh is VP, research & development, wireless technologies at CableLabs.
CableLabs has been actively collaborating with the vendor community to further refine the concept and system architecture of a Full Duplex DOCSIS 3.1 system, he added. Cisco for instance offered a new silicon reference design of a digital echo canceler that maximises the use of HFC capacity to provide a scalable multi-gigabit return path.
“The ecosystem support for the Full Duplex DOCSIS 3.1 technology has been staggering, with many vendors collaborating and contributing to the development of the technology,” Hamzeh noted. “Full Duplex DOCSIS 3.1 technology will radically change the art-of-the-possible on the HFC network by delivering an unparalleled experience to cable customers.”
In June, CableLabs officially launched the Full Duplex DOCSIS 3.1 project, transitioning it from the innovation phase to the R&D phase focused on specification development. Working group meetings will be held on a regular basis until the specification development is complete.
