18、ication Standard (ETS) has been produced by the Joint Technical Committee (JTC) Broadcast of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), Comit Europen de Normalisation ELECtrotechnique (CENELEC) and the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI). NOTE: The EBU/ETSI JTC Broadcast was establish
19、ed in 1990 to co-ordinate the drafting of ETSs in the specific field of broadcasting and related fields. Since 1995 the JTC Broadcast became a tripartite body by including in the Memorandum of Understanding also CENELEC, which is responsible for the standardization of radio and television receivers.
20、 The EBU is a professional association of broadcasting organizations whose work includes the co-ordination of its members activities in the technical, legal, programme-making and programme-exchange domains. The EBU has active members in about 60 countries in the European broadcasting area; its headq
21、uarters is in Geneva.

22、elevision industry. Its aim is to establish the framework for the introduction of MPEG-2 based digital television services. Now comprising over 200 organizations from more than 25countries around the world, DVB fosters market-led systems, which meet the real needs, and economic circumstances, of the
23、 consumer electronics and the broadcast industry.

It is not intended to specify a return
25、 channel solution associated to each broadcast system because the inter-operability of different delivery media to transport the return channel is desirable. The solutions provided in this ETS for interaction channel for CATV networks are a pari of a wider set of alternatives to implement interactiv
26、e services for DVB systems. 2 Normative references This ETS incorporates by dated and undated reference, provisions from other publications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendmen

35、ic interactive services). 4.1 Protocol stack model For asymmetric interactive services supporting broadcast to the home with narrowband return channel, a simple communications model consists of the following layers: Physical layer: Where all the physical (electrical) transmission parameters are defi
36、ned. Transport layer: Defines all the relevant data structures and communication protocols like data containers, etc. Application layer: Is the interactive application software and runtime environments (e.g. home shopping application, script interpreter, etc.). This ETS addresses the lower two layer
37、s (the physical and transport) leaving the application layer open to competitive market forces. A simplified model of the OS1 layers was adopted to facilitate the production of specifications for these nodes. Figure 1 points out the lower layers of the simplified model and identifies some of the key
38、 parameters for the lower two layers. Following the user requirements for interactive services, no attempt will be made to consider higher layers in this ETS.

40、structure for generic system reference model This ETS addresses the CATV network specific aspects only. The network independent protocols are specified separately (ITU-T Recommendation 1.361 4). 4.2 System model Figure 2 shows the system model which is to be used within DVB for interactive services.
41、 In the system model, two channels are established between the service provider and the user: - Broadcast Channel (BC): A uni-directional broadband BC including video, audio and data. The BC is established from the service provider to the users. It may include the Forward Interaction path. - Interac
42、tion Channel (IC): A bi-directional IC is established between the service provider and the user for interaction purposes. It is formed by: - Return Interaction path: From the user to the service provider. It is used to make requests to the service provider or to answer questions. It is a narrowband
43、channel. Also commonly known as return channel. - Forward Interaction path : From the service provider to the user. It is used to provide some sort of information by the service provider to the user and any other required communication for the interactive service provision. It may be embedded into t
44、he broadcast channel. It is possible that this channel is not required in some simple implementations which make use of the BC for the carriage of data to the user. The user terminal is formed by the Network Interface Unit (NIU) and the Set Top Unit (STU). The NIU consists of the Broadcast Interface
45、 Module (BIM) and the Interactive Interface Module (IIM). The user terminal provides interface for both broadcast and interaction channels. The interface between the user terminal and the interaction network is via the IIM. -1 at .1 h O O m v) c W t W . u) c G 2 .- J u) c o c C .- r - al D E o ?! ?!

CATV can be used to
47、implement interactive services in the DVB environment, providing a bi-directional communication path between the user terminal and the service provider. 5.1 System concept The interactive system is composed of Forward Interaction path (downstream) and Return Interaction path (upstream). The general
48、concept is to use downstream transmission from the INA to the NIUs to provide synchronization and information to all NIUs. This allows the NIUs to adapt to the network and send synchronized information upstream. Upstream transmission is divided into time slots which can be used by different users, u
49、sing the technique of Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA). One downstream channel is used to synchronize up to 8 upstream channels, which are all divided into time slots. A counter at the INA is sent periodically to the NIUs, so that all NIUs work with the same clock. This gives the opportunity to the INA to assign time slots to different users. Three major access modes are provided with this system. The first one is based on contention access, which lets users send information at any time with the risk to have a collision with other
