Specifically, OOB passages are main by OOB demodulators in CMTS equipment ends(Demodulator), OOB modulators(Modulator), network controller(Network Controller) and data transmission interface server(DTI Server) totally four equipment, wherein, OOB Demodulator are the up PHY of OOB passages, OOB Modulator are the descending PHY of OOB passages, because the processing of OOB PHY baseband modulations is in units of regular length frame, fixed Base-Band Processing time delay can be provided for data link, therefore the Timing PHY modules of the present embodiment can directly reuse OOB PHY, during for OOB signaling datas and Timing between provide unified physical layer modulation module with Walk signaling datas;DTI Server provide global clock function for all local side apparatus, thus can as the present embodiment TS&PLL modules;Network Controller can be OOB MAC entity, frequently with general central processor(Central Processing Unit, referred to as:CPU) and software is realized, it can increase a software module extend Timing MAC functions in Network Controller in the present embodiment.
In CM terminals, OOB PHY are generally realized using an integrated chip, with CMTS equipment End is similar, can also use it for Timing PHY, and Timing MAC can be achieved by extending CM CPU softwares.
As shown in figure 3, the process for realizing accurate Shi Jian Tong Walk by the technical scheme of the present embodiment is specially:
CMTS equipment side, SNI/DTI PHY modules are completed in after the Shi Jian Tong Walk of upper network equipment, for signalling path, TS&PLL modules are produced with master clock with local clock of the frequency with phase, i.e. after temporal information, temporal information is passed into Timing MAC modules, temporal information is packaged into time message by Timing MAC modules, and time message is passed into Timing PHY modules, Timing PHY modules are sent to the cm device of distal end after being modulated to time message;Simultaneously, after SNI/DTI PHY modules are completed in the Shi Jian Tong Walk of upper network equipment, for data channel, after MAC module and PHY modules are handled data message according to the scheme of prior art respectively, data message is also sent to the cm device of distal end.
Cm device side, for data channel, after the MAC module and PHY modules of cm device are handled the data message received also according to the scheme of prior art, pass to UNI/DTI PHY modules, for signalling path, after the Timing PHY modules of cm device are demodulated to the time message received, pass to Timing MAC modules, Timing MAC modules parse temporal information from time message, then temporal information is passed into TS&PLL modules, TS&PLL modules are according to time information renovation local clock, produce new temporal information, new temporal information is passed into UNI/DTI PHY modules again, the data message received and temporal information are passed to next stage mobile base station equipment by UNI/DTI PHY modules together, due to SNI/DTI PHY modules, TS&PLL modules, Timing MAC modules, Timing PHY modules and UNI/DTI PHY modules are respectively provided with fixed time delay, so as to pass through above-mentioned technical proposal, accurate Shi Jian Tong Walk can be realized in DOCSIS networks.
The technical scheme of the present embodiment, can realize Shi Jian Tong Walk in DOCSIS networks.
