Re: [802.3_EPOC] Action items for September 2012 meeting



Jorge, 

I included both proposed definitions. Until clarification on the use of
top-split is made, I will keep the term in the list tentatively and follow
the discussion.

Marek,

I think I would correct the definitions of Mid- and High-split, as follows:

Mid split: an HFC network in which the split between the upstream and
downstream occurs between 65 and 100 MHz

High split: an HFC network in which the split between the upstream and
downstream occurs above 100 MHz

I still have some concern about a conflict between the definitions of High-
and Top-split since they could overlap. Maybe we could solve it in one of
two ways: 1. add something like "the upstream transmission occupies spectrum
below the downstream" for low-, mid- and high-split definitions, or 2. Get
rid of the top-split altogether since we won't be considering that option
(as we discussed in the meeting in San Diego). 

I wonder what others, especially my MSO/CL colleagues, think. 

Thanks!
Jorge

Marek,

To add to your list, here is a start for the definitions for the various
splits, and one additional definition (HFC):

HFC: a hybrid fiber-coax cable network, in which fiber is used to transmit
analog RF signals (note: this definition excludes the case where we have
digital return, but I think that's OK)
 
Low split: an HFC network in which the split between the upstream and
downstream occurs below 65 MHz

Mid split: an HFC network in which the split between the upstream and
downstream occurs below 100 MHz

High split: an HFC network in which the split between the upstream and
downstream occurs below 200 MHz


Top split: an HFC network in which the upstream is placed above the
downstream

Hope this helps.

Jorge
