Title
Full Duplex DOCSIS: Opportunities and Challenges
Abstract
The recently released full duplex extensions to the DOCSIS 3.1 standard (FDX DOCSIS) promise to greatly alleviate the shortage of upstream bandwidth that has plagued HFC networks since inception. However, there are a number of technical and implementation challenges in both the MAC and PHY layers of FDX DOCSIS that must be overcome in order for the standard to live up to its potential as a major enabler of next-generation services. Due to the relatively small and insular nature of the DOCSIS community, these challenges may not attract attention in the academic community commensurate with their importance. This article presents a high-level overview of FDX DOCSIS technology and describes some key technical challenges related to FDX DOCSIS which, if resolved appropriately, could provide significant value to the industry and society in general.
