Dynamic channel assignment in integrated-services cable networks
Abstract
Cable networks can offer a variety of video services such as video-on-demand, video conferencing, videotex, and real-time monitoring, besides broadcasting TV programs. These services can be extended when optical fibers, equipping tremendous bandwidth, are used to carry the traffic. Most of the newer cable systems are using fibers as the distribution media. In this paper we propose a dynamic channel assignment strategy for an integrated-services cable system.
