Spectrum Management Overview
The following sections describe spectrum management implementation using Cisco uBR7200 series
software and the Cisco MC16S cable modem card.
The Cisco uBR7200 series supports the creation of up to 32 cable spectrum groups, allowing
multiple upstream ports in a single spectrum group, and specifications of configured channel widths
for upstream segments. Upstream frequencies can be assigned as follows:
Fixed.
Single subband—the CMTS administrator can define a center frequency and symbol rate such
that the boundaries of the upstream carrier stay within the subband. The frequency and symbol
rate can change within the boundary in response to noisy line conditions, based on the defined
upstream parameters.
Multiple subbands—the data carrier can remain in a particular subband for a duration of time and
then hop to another subband based on the defined upstream parameters.
Note The above frequency agility specifications are based on predetermined sets of frequencies
which may or may not have adequate carrier-to-noise (C/N) ratio at any given time.
Dynamically assigned based on a CMTS administrator-specified threshold percentage of
disconnected cable modems that must be met before a frequency hop will occur—the
Cisco uBR7200 series software can initiate a frequency hop to a clean upstream channel based
on upstream spectrum data collected by the MC16S’s spectrum management daughter card.
For more information regarding the MC16S cable modem card and its frequency hopping
capabilities, refer to the “MC16S Cable Modem Card” section on page 12.
Caution Upstream modulation profiles can be assigned to specific upstream ports based on the
Cisco cable modem card used. Only those familiar with DOCSIS who have received the proper
training should create upstream modulation profiles.
