usable in the upstream direction. Numbers indicate number of code points per symbol. The QAM
rate or the number of points in the QAM constellation can be computed by 2 raised to the power of
<number of bits/symbol>.
QPSK
—Quadrature Phase-Shift Keying. A method of modulating digital signals onto a
radio-frequency carrier signal using four phase states to code two digital bits.
Ranging—
The process of acquiring the correct timing offset such that the transmissions of a cable
modem are aligned with the correct mini-slot boundary.
SID (Service ID)
—A number that defines (at the MAC sublayer) a particular mapping between a
cable modem (CM) and the CMTS. The SID is used for the purpose of upstream bandwidth
allocation and class-of-service management.
Subscriber Unit (SU)
—An alternate term for cable modem. See
cable modem.
Upstream
—The set of frequencies used to send data from a subscriber to the headend.
Platforms
The uBR904 cable modem is a standalone device; it works in conjunction with the Cisco uBR7246
universal broadband router.
