1.2 CN- cable television networks The key innovations in cable TV? * MMCN-Chapter1 * 1.2 CN- cable television networks The key innovations in cable TV are: Optical feeder links (FTTC: fiber-to-the-curb; or HFC: hybrid fiber/coaxial) Digital compression techniques (MPEG-1; MPEG-2; MPEG-4) Service integration (new services, such as VoD, Internet access, telephony, etc. ; bi-directional network) * MMCN-Chapter1 * 1.2 CN- cable television networks * MMCN-Chapter1 * 1.2 CN- wireless networks Key innovations in wireless? * MMCN-Chapter1 * 1.2 CN- wireless networks The first packet-switched wireless network: ALOHA, 1971 at the U. of Hawaii. Bandwidth in wireless networks remains a very scarce resource. The challenge for wireless networks will be to provide connectivity to the Internet, integrated services, especially voice and data, as well as multimedia and web access. * MMCN-Chapter1 * 1.2 CN- wireless networks Key innovations in wireless: Radio and TV broadcast Cellular telephones Wireless LANs (802.11) and ad hoc Bluetooth Cellular packets (GPRS, CDMA), 1, 2, 3G Voice, data integration WiMax(802.16) * MMCN-Chapter1 * 1.2 CN- wireless networks IMT-2000 goals (3G) Common global frequency band(1.8-2.2GHz) Common air interfaces for vehicular(144kbps), pedestrian(384k), indoor(2M), satellite(9.6k) Circuit-switch, packet switch, multimedia Compatibility with fixed networks Global roaming ? What proposals are there for 3G now? * MMCN-Chapter1 * 1.2 CN-Trend The differences among these types of network are still great. However, each type of networks is now able to provide the services that were formerly the exclusive province of other networks. Trend: Convergence! * MMCN-Chapter1 * 1.3 Media and Stream Characteristics What characteristics are related with media transmission? What difference among asynchronous, synchronous, isochronous transmission ? What are the meanings of CBR and VBR? Why do we discuss those stream characteristics? * MMCN-Chapter1 * 1.3 Media and
