THE ART OF ENGINEERING 2
The path to a DAA network
The analog transmission of RF signals reaches its limits
For higher transmission rates, the proportion of the analog route must be minimized
Remote PHY moves the generation and reception of RF signals into the access node
Between Headend and Node a digital optical transmission becomes possible
CableLabs® New Remote PHY Specifications expand DOCSIS® Network deployment options

Remote MAC-PHY vs Remote PHY
Main problems when using Remote PHY
Communication between systems from different manufacturers
Timing and latency problems lead to synchronization errors
Solution: Remote MAC-PHY Architecture with Distributed CCAP Nodes
The MAC layer is also moved to the node
The CMTS is integrated in the D-CCAP Node and therefore becomes superfluous in the headend
MAC and PHY layers are no longer physically separated
Additionally, big cost, space, and energy savings occur in the headend

Remote MAC-PHY vs Traditional CMTS
Category Comparison Summary
CMTS: difficulty to increase bandwidth limited to centralized headend. Only good at coverage.
R-MACPHY has better bandwidth
R-MACPHY: convenient and easy to increase bandwidth based on distributed architecture. Good
performance
at both coverage and bandwidth.
CMTS: needs lots of optical rx in sub-head/Hub, occupies more space and brings in cost.
R-MACPHY needs less equipment
R-MACPHY: no need.
R-MACPHY needs less fiber CMTS needs lots of return fiber resources.
resources R-MACPHY doesn’t need extra return fibers.
R-MACPHY has less convergence CMTS: high convergence noise because of optical nodes with a large amount of users
noise R-MACPHY: lower convergence noise
CMTS: RF test complex：CMTS<->Optical Tx/Rx<->Hub/ Bi-directional Optical Station<-
R-MACPHY has less RF complexity >Amplifier<->House/CM
R-MACPHY: RF test easier：RMD<->Amplifier<->CM
