6、1/2006) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications. The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questi

7、ons and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. 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

8、on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. 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. NOTE In this Recommendation, th

9、e expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure e.g., interoperability or app

10、licability) and compliance with the Recommendation is achieved when all of these mandatory provisions are met. The words “shall“ or some other obligatory language such as “must“ and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of such words does not suggest that compliance with

11、 the Recommendation is required of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS ITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applic

12、ability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside of the Recommendation development process. As of the date of approval of this Recommendation, ITU had not received notice of intellectual property, protected by patents, which may be required to implem

13、ent this Recommendation. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent the latest information and are therefore strongly urged to consult the TSB patent database at http:/www.itu.int/ITU-T/ipr/.

19、platform with capacity and flexibility to support growth of on-demand video, high definition digital TV, managed in-home networks connecting a wide range of consumer-provided devices, and future IP multimedia services including IP voice, video telephony, and multiplayer gaming. The goal of this Reco

20、mmendation is to provide core functionalities and can serve as foundations for network specific environments. It SHOULD be noted that home networking portion of this architecture is based upon ITU-T Rec. J.190. In actual implementation of NG-STB-A functionalities, this Recommendation MUST be used wi

21、th either ITU-T Rec. J.292 or ITU-T Rec.

23、(BED): Devices and physical layer segments not conforming to the requirements of ASD, AOD, GSD. The devices in this domain do not require content protection or guaranteed quality of service. 3.5 CA_system_ID: This is a field indicating the type of CA system applicable for either the associated ECM a

24、nd/or EMM streams. The CA_system_ID may be used as a DSG client ID in DSG advanced mode. 3.6 DSG client: The DSG (DOCSIS set-top gateway) client terminates the DSG tunnel and receives content from the DSG server. 3.7 entitlement control messages (ECMs): An ECM is an encrypted message that contains a

25、ccess criteria to various service tiers and a control word (CW). 3.8 embedded PS: A portal services element that does not use a stand-alone interface to connect to a set-top box device. 3.9 embedded set-top box: An embedded set-top box is an embedded service application functional entity. It include

26、s the DSG client(s), a DSG client controller, an embedded processor for an application environment, and either an embedded or removable module for conditional access. 3.10 entitlement management messages (EMMs): The EMM contains the actual authorization data and shall be sent in a secure method to e

27、ach CPE device. 2 ITU-T Rec.

30、 infers that the downstream path (from the network to the subscriber) is operational, and that the upstream path (from the subscriber to the network) is not operational. This may occur because the upstream path is not available, the set-top device is not registered, or the set-top device does not su

31、pport a two-way mode of operation. 3.18 QoS parameter set: The set of service flow encodings that describe the quality of service attributes of a service flow or a service class. 3.19 residential gateway: The device that provides interconnection functionalities between access network and home networ

32、k as described in ITU-T Rec. J.190. NOTE How to apply J.190 residential gateway functionality to various networks SHOULD be considered in the near future. 3.20 service class: A set of queuing and scheduling attributes that is named and that is configured at the head-end equipment. A service class is

33、 identified by a service class name. A service class has an associated QoS parameter set. 3.21 set-top controller: This is the computer system responsible for managing the set-top devices within a cable system. It manages set-top devices through control and information messages sent via the out-of-b

34、and channel. 3.22 set-top device: A receiver that contains an embedded PS function for home network connectivity and an embedded set-top box. 3.23 two-way: This expression infers that the downstream path and the upstream path are operational. 3.24 well-known MAC address: This refers to the MAC addre

35、ss of the client within the set-top device.
