T. Koonen et al., TOBASCO - AN INNOVATIVE APPROACH FOR UPGRADING CATV FIBER-COAX NETWORKS FOR BROAD-BAND INTERACTIVE SERVICES, IEEE communications magazine, 35(4), 1997, pp. 76-81
To introduce broadband interactive services in a fiber-coax Co;TV netw
ork with high splitting ratio, a high-density wavelength multiplexing
upgrading strategy in combination with conventional TDMA techniques is
presented: it features flexible network reconfiguration via wavelengt
h reassignment at the fiber terminating network units, a high interact
ive services capacity per user, and improved network scalability.
