The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics.

In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC.

It is the intention of this Recommendation to address requirements only for the E-MTA. The E-MTA is define

32、d as an IPCablecom MTA integrated with a cable modem. See 5.1 for a complete description of the E-MTA. The service referred to in this Recommendation is voice-grade communications, including communications with stations on the public switched telephone network (PSTN). “Primary line service“ refers t

33、o service sufficiently reliable to meet a consumer expectation of essentially constant availability, including, specifically, availability during power failure at the customers premises, and (assuming the service is used to connect to the PSTN), access to emergency services. To enable support for re

34、liable service, three E-MTA interfaces have been identified: 1) powering the E-MTA; 2) telemetry support; and 3) the analog POTS interface. Powering the E-MTA is critical for the service to function during periods when utility power fails. Consequently, the power consumption characteristics of the E

35、-MTA will enable service providers to offer alternate powering techniques. Telemetry support enables the service provider to remotely monitor the status of the E-MTA. The first application of telemetry enables remote monitoring of the E-MTA power source. The analog POTS interface requirements ensure

36、 that CPE that meets telephone industry interoperability requirements (normal telephones, answering machines, etc.) will also operate in the IPCablecom environment. Note that the voice-grade analog transmission requirements are dependent on the compression algorithm utilized to transport the packeti

37、zed voice signal in the IPCablecom architecture. These requirements are derived from existing PSTN requirements that are based on a full 64 kbit/s voice channel. Therefore, the requirements specified are relevant only for the G.711 audio codec. Other audio codec compression algorithms specified by I

38、TU-T Rec. J.161 are not currently addressed in this Recommendation. Note also that the telemetry interface specified in this Recommendation is between the E-MTA and an external local uninterruptible power supply (UPS). The UPS itself is not within the scope of this Recommendation, so specific requir

39、ements for the UPS are not included here. Nonetheless, requirements for the E-MTA telemetry interface may have certain design implications on the UPS. 5.1 Media Terminal Adapter (MTA) An MTA is an IPCablecom client device that contains a subscriber-side interface to the subscribers CPE (e.g., teleph

40、one) and a network-side signalling interface to call control elements in the network (e.g., Call Management Server (CMS). An MTA provides codecs and all signalling and encapsulation functions required for media transport and call signalling. MTAs reside at the customer site and are connected to othe

41、r IPCablecom network elements via the HFC access network (ITU-T Recs J.112 or J.122). IPCablecom MTAs are required to support the Network Call Signalling (NCS) protocol. IPCablecom only defines support for an embedded MTA. An embedded MTA (E-MTA) is a single hardware device that incorporates a J.112

42、/J.122 cable modem as well as an IPCablecom MTA component. Figure 1 shows a representative functional diagram of an embedded MTA. Additional MTA functionality and requirements are further defined in ITU-T Rec. J.160. 4 ITU-T Rec. J.173 (11/2005) Figure 1/J.173 Embedded MTA 6 E-MTA monitoring require

43、ments The E-MTA is a critical element in the IPCablecom architecture. It provides the customers interface to the service providers network and is located outside the service providers “headend“. As such, it is critical that the operational status of the E-MTA be monitored in order to provide the qui

44、ckest information to the service provider. This clause details the critical monitoring requirements of the E-MTA. 6.1 E-MTA alarms The E-MTA functions as the customer premises network interface to the IPCablecom network and thus enables service to the customer. If the E-MTA fails and is not capable

45、of providing the intended service, the service provider will need to know about this condition quickly (and preferably before the customer). The minimum goal of fault management should be to isolate failures to a field replaceable unit. This enables the service provider to confidently dispatch servi

46、ce personnel with the appropriate equipment necessary to repair the problem in the least amount of time (i.e., minimize MTTR). Since the MTA is embedded, or integrated with the CM, the E-MTA can be considered a field replaceable unit. 6.1.1 CM failures The CM provides the critical connection between

47、 the MTA and the IPCablecom/J.112 network. A CM failure will affect the availability of the service. IPCablecom service will rely on the CM failure detection mechanisms. In this Recommendation, ITU-T Recs J.112/J.122 refer to events that the CM must detect as well as events the CMTS must detect. 6.1

48、.2 MTA failures The minimum MTA monitoring MUST utilize the CM failure detection mechanisms since the CM and MTA are integrated together. ITU-T Rec. J.173 (11/2005) 5 Additional MTA monitoring mechanisms MAY be developed but are not defined in this Recommendation. For example, the E-MTA may include

49、internal on-line diagnostics utilized to detect vendor-specific events. 6.2 E-MTA telemetry The telemetry feature provides the ability for the E-MTA to transmit alarm information to the headend. The alarm information could reflect status of the E-MTA itself or of a supporting device connected to the E-MTA. One powering option of the E-MTA is local power with uninterruptible power supply (UPS) battery backup. Maintaining constant power at the E-MTA is important to providing service. For example, an operator may want the service to continue to function when the comme
