Foreword

This final draft ETSI Standard (ES) has been produced by ETSI Technical Committee Integrated broadband cable

telecommunication networks (CABLE), and is now submitted for the ETSI standards Membership Approval Procedure.

The present document is part 1 of a multi-part deliverable covering the sixth generation transmission systems for

interactive cable television services - IP cable modems, as identified below:
Part 1: "General; DOCSIS 4.0";
Part 2: "Physical layer; DOCSIS 4.0 [ANSI/SCTE 262-1 2020]";

Part 3: "MAC and upper layer protocols interface; DOCSIS 4.0 [ANSI/SCTE 262-2 2020]";

Part 4: "Cable modem operations support system interface; DOCSIS 4.0 [ANSI/SCTE 262-3 2020]";

Part 5: "Converged Cable Access Platform (CCAP) operations support system interface; Part 5: Converged

Cable Access Platform (CCAP) operations support system interface; DOCSIS 4.0 [ANSI/SCTE 262-4

2020]";
Part 6: "Security; DOCSIS 4.0 [ANSI/SCTE 262-5 2020]".

This multi-part deliverable is based on the CableLabs DOCSIS 4.0 specifications and endorses the corresponding

ANSI/SCTE standards. Table 1 indicates for the standards in this multi-part deliverable the endorsed ANSI/SCTE

standards and the corresponding CableLabs DOCSIS 4.0 specifications.

1 Scope

The present document is part of a multi-part deliverable that defines the sixth generation of high-speed data-over-cable

systems and is based on a set of specifications commonly referred to as DOCSIS 4.0 specifications.

This generation of the DOCSIS specifications [i.1] to [i.5] builds upon the previous generations of DOCSIS

specifications (commonly referred to as the DOCSIS 3.1 and earlier specifications), leveraging the existing Media

Access Control (MAC) and Physical (PHY) layers. It includes backward compatibility for the existing PHY layers in

order to enable a seamless migration to the new technology. Further, the DOCSIS 4.0 specifications introduce Full

Duplex (FDX) DOCSIS PHY layer technology as an expansion of the OFDM PHY layer introduced in the DOCSIS 3.1

PHY specification to increase upstream capacity without significant loss of downstream capacity versus DOCSIS 3.1.

The DOCSIS 4.0 specification also builds upon DOCSIS 3.1 OFDM and OFDMA technology with an extended

Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) DOCSIS alternative. DOCSIS 4.0 FDD supports legacy high split and also provides

extended splits up to 684 MHz in an operational band plan which is referred to as Ultra-High Split (UHS). DOCSIS 4.0

FDD also introduces expansion of usable downstream spectrum up to 1 794 MHz. Both the FDX and FDD DOCSIS 4.0

alternatives are based on OFDM PHY. The DOCSIS 4.0 specifications also define appropriate updates to the MAC and

management layers to support new PHY functionality.
