Abstract:
PURPOSE: An orthogonal frequency division multiplex transmission apparatus for variable bandwidth transmission in an HFC net and a transmission method thereof are provided to change the bandwidth by controlling the number of inverse fast Fourier transform modules. CONSTITUTION: A serial to parallel converter(321) parallelizes a plurality of serial symbols. The serial to parallel converter receives a signal modulated from a modulator(310). An M×K point inverse fast Fourier transformer(324) comprises MK-point inverse fast Fourier transform modules(325_1~325_M). A parallel-serial converter(327) receives output signals of the MxK point inverse fast Fourier transformers. A bandwidth controller(329) controls mapping bandwidth of a sub-carrier mapping part(320).
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A method for quickly adjusting an upstream power level in a DOCSIS cable modem is provided to effectively control an uplink channel power level during an initialization process of DOCSIS 3.0, thereby efficiently communicating the cable modem with a cable modem terminal system. CONSTITUTION: A cable modem receives an MDD(Mac Domain Descriptor) message after a SYNC message. The MDD message is divided into several messages(402) using TLV encoding information(403). The MDD message is transmitted from the cable modem terminal system to the cable modem. Information about upstream transmit power reporting(413) is defined in the TLV encoding information. A power level value is defined in an SSAP field of a management message header(401) during a ranging request message transmitting process.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A downloadable conditional access system by using distributed trusted authority, and an operating method of the same are provided to distribute SM(Secure Micro) at a central authentication authority and a distributed trusted authority. CONSTITUTION: A central trusted authority server(110) generates a certification and distributes the certification. A distributed trusted authority server(120) receives a certificate from the central trusted authority server. The distributed trusted authority server performs authentication about the DCAS(Downloadable Conditional Access System) host terminal which attempts a connection to the MSO(Multiple System Operator) server. The authenticated DCAS host terminal can access the MSO server.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A method and an apparatus for mutual authentication in a downloadable conditional access system are provided to defend each kind of attach resulting from a security threat when downloading a CAS software by securing the safety in key generation, message authentication and so on. CONSTITUTION: A DCAS(Downloadable Conditional Access System) comprises an authentication unit(110), a key management unit(130) and a download unit(140). The authentication unit transmits an authentication session key to a security module(200) through a CMTS(Cable Modem Termination System)(120). The key management unit generates and manages an authentication session key, and the download unit downloads and updates a CAS(Conditional Access System) software through the control of the security module.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A channel bandwidth allocation device and a method thereof are provided to allocate uplink bandwidth capable of being processed in real time in a CMTS by using the uplink channel transport format defined in the DOCSIS 3.0 standard. CONSTITUTION: An information sorter unit(710) sorts in line the band allocation request information according to the priority. The information sorter unit transfers the sorted band allocation request information to a mini slot allocation unit. An operation unit(720) transmits the band allocation request information to the mini slot allocation unit(730) by applying Multiplier to number of bytes in case of the band allocation request information corresponding to the byte based band allocation request information. The mini slot allocation unit assigns the mini slot by referring to the band allocation request information and set up information.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A broadcasting contents distribution-controlling method and a system are provided to offer the broadcasting contents to the discriminated terminal it is offered. CONSTITUTION: In the broadcasting contents which the information lead portion(110) is received from the broadcasting server, the program setting information is a lead taken. The contents controller(120) distinguish the terminal corresponding to the read program setting information as described above. The contents controller offers the received broadcasting contents as described above to the identified terminal.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A cable network system for providing an IPTV service and a method for controlling a cable network system are provided to shorten channel change time, thereby efficiently providing an IPTV service. CONSTITUTION: A DSID(Downstream Service IDentifier) list maintaining device(410) maintains a DSID list about a broadcast signal received from a cable headend. A broadcast signal confirming device(420) receives an IGMP(Internet Group Management Protocol) join message from an IPTV STB(Set-Top Box). The broadcast signal confirming device confirms the first broadcast signal related to the IGMP join message at the DSID list. A broadcast signal providing apparatus(430) provides the first broadcast signal to the IPTV STB.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A channel map providing method and a system thereof are provided to offer broadcasting contents according to the channel map by constituting a customized channel map based on the property of space where a terminal is installed and an audience object. CONSTITUTION: An audience object determining part(120) determines an audience object in a space where a terminal is installed. A channel map forming part(130) constitutes the channel map in consideration of the audience object. A channel map providing part(140) provides the broadcasting contents according to the channel map to the terminal by being connected to a watching request. The audience object determining part confirms the use of the space and estimates the audience object located in the space based on the identified use.
