whitepaper Cable Sharing in Commercial Building Environments: Reducing Cost, Simplifying Cable Management, and Converging Applications onto Twisted-Pair Media0000-00-00 Siemon
  This white paper introduces the topic of cabling sharing to telecommunications professionals responsible for enterprise networks. Cable sharing describes the practice of running more than one application over different pairs of a twisted-pair copper telecommunications channel thereby reducing costs, simplifying cable management, and converging applications onto one media type in commercial building environments. The growing market acceptance of fully-shielded (i.e. "category 7" or "class F") cabling systems has been identified as the primary reason why cable sharing techniques are appearing in the designs of the industry's top IT infrastructure designers and consultants. Cable sharing meets the increasing demand for high-density, low-speed application support as more and more equipment devices support IP protocol, Ethernet communication, and operation over twisted-pair cabling.

whitepaper Cabling Lifecycles and Total Cost of Ownership0000-00-00 Siemon
  Focusing on enterprise cabling infrastructures where plans are to occupy the premises for at least 5 years, this paper demonstrates that Augmented Category 6 (6A) or higher cabling systems are the most economical solutions, providing a solid return on investment. As cabling represents 5-7% of the overall network investment, understanding the full lifecycle and industry trends will assist in your decisions. The paper compares total cost of ownership for a 24 channel cabling system ranging from category 5e through TERA category 7/class F.

whitepaper Selecting a Structured Cabling Vendor - A Balanced Scorecard for the Best Value0000-00-00 Siemon
  When selecting a cabling vendor for an enterprise cabling infrastructure, one of the most difficult tasks is sorting through the vendor-provided data and getting to the information most critical to you and your network. This white paper examines several factors to evaluate when selecting a cabling partner including test reports, contractor training program, available support services and warranty claims.

whitepaper Unlimited mobile TV for the mass market2006-02-10 alcatel
  Mobile TV is already booming on existing cellular infrastructures in unicast mode. But unicast is not optimized to deliver the same content to many users at the same time, and this prevents mass-market deployment. Overlay broadcast networks are necessary for mass access to mainstream TV channels through mobile devices.

For the broadcast part of the solution, Alcatel proposes to combine satellite and terrestrial infrastructure, enabling indoor, nationwide coverage while operating in a readily available frequency band. The unicast part of the solution will use the existing 3G networks to increase the number of available TV channels.

This paper explains the technical intricacies of the different aspects of this solution, describing their capabilities, scope of application, maturity, and the regulatory situations.

whitepaper Upstream FEC Errors and SNR as Ways to Ensure Data Quality and Throughput2005-09-30 Cisco Systems
  To operate a High Speed Data (HSD) network over a Hybrid Fiber/Coaxial (HFC) cable plant requires a significant level of quality control to ensure data integrity and the highest level of data throughput. The two generally accepted means by which cable operators can measure data quality is by monitoring either the Bit Error Rate (BER) or the Packet Error Rate (PER). The Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS) outlines requirements that each cable operator must maintain in order to reliably transport IP data traffic. An important feature of DOCSIS addresses the need to protect IP data against Radio Frequency (RF) noise impairments. The feature DOCSIS uses to help maintain IP data integrity over HFC cable plants is Reed-Solomon Forward Error Correction (FEC) encoding.

whitepaper Improving Bandwidth Utilization by Implementing DOCSIS 2.0 Logical Channels2005-08-25 Motorola
  DOCSIS 2.0 support for logical channels allows cable operators, who deploy standards-based DOCSIS 2.0 Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS) platforms, to provide significant amounts of increased upstream bandwidth. They can quickly deliver increased upstream performance to HFC networks consisting of mixed mode DOCSIS 1.x and 2.0 cable modems as well as for new networks consisting entirely of DOCSIS 2.0 cable modems. Today, operators run the lowest common denominator modulation mode that supports the weakest cable modems on the network. But DOCSIS 2.0 introduced the concept of logical channels to provide the ability to optimize the throughput of DOCSIS upstream carrier frequencies by segmenting cable modems on the same physical network according to their potential to deliver higher-performance upstream throughput.

whitepaper Enhancing Cable Modem TCP Performance2003-07-01 Texas Instruments
  This white paper discusses the inherent bi-directional behavior of TCP and its performance when used in conjunction with the DOCSIS MAC protocol. It provides typical examples of degradation in TCP throughput and describes how the addition of application awareness and acknowledgment filtering software can be used to improve TCP throughput.

whitepaper Home Gateway2002-10-17 Wipro
  The ubiquity of broadband connectivity and the advancements in home networking technologies introduces into market a new breed of consumer premises equipment termed as "home gateways" or "residential gateways". Home gateway devices provide the consumer benefits such as broadband Internet connection sharing, Firewall security, VPN connectivity, IP telephony, audio/video streaming, Wireless LAN connectivity, etc. At present, home gateway devices are available in market in various physical device personalities or form factors like the SOHO Router home gateway, cable Router/MTA home gateway, DSL Router/IAD home gateway, STB home gateway etc. This paper discusses the various personalities of the home gateway devices along with its usage scenario, as well as detailing the hardware, software technical architecture and specifications of the home gateway devices.   
whitepaper Cable Access Q&A - Part One2002-11-29 BVRP Software Group
  Accessing the Internet using a Cable Network (and a cable modem) is becoming increasingly more popular due to the much greater speed than is available through telephone-modem access. A Cable modem is a device at the subscriber end of a cable that allows a computer to be connected to the Internet through an existing Cable network connection. Unlike a dial-up connection, it does not require a phone line.
