Workshop on Multimedia Convergence (IP Cablecom / Mediacom 2004/ Interactivity in Multimedia)
ITU Headquarters, Geneva, 12-15 March 2002


List of Actual ITU-T Recommendations related to IP Cablecom Project

Project on time critical interactive services over cable television network using IP-protocol, in particular Voice and Video over IP


IP Cablecom Rec. Rec. Name Status Recommendation Scope
J.160 Architectural framework for the delivery of time critical services over cable television networks using cable modems Approved Defines architecture framework for IPCablecom networks including all major system components and network interfaces necessary for delivery of IPCablecom services.
J.161 Audio codec requirements for the provision of bidirectional audio service over cable television networks using cable modems Approved Defines the audio and video codecs necessary to provide the highest quality and the most resource-efficient service delivery to the customer. Also specifies the performance required in client devices to support future IPCableCom codecs. and describes suggested methodology for optimal network support for codecs.
J.162 Network call signalling protocol for the delivery of time critical services over cable television networks using cable modems Approved Defines a profile of the Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP) for IPCablecom embedded clients, referred to as the Network-based Call Signaling (NCS) protocol. MGCP is a call signaling protocol for use in a centralized call control architecture, and assumes relatively simple client devices.
J.163 Dynamic quality of service for the provision of real time services over cable television networks using cable modems Approved Defines the QoS Architecture for the "Access"

portion of the PacketCable network, provided to requesting applications on a per-flow

basis. The access portion of the network is defined to be between the Multi-media

Terminal Adapter (MTA) and the Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS). The method of QoS allocation over the backbone is

unspecified in this document.
J.164 Event message requirements for the support of real-time services over cable television networks using cable modems Approved Defines the concept of Event Messages used to collect usage for the purposes of billing within the IPCablecom architecture.
J.165 IPCablecom signalling transport protocol Approved Defines the Internet Signaling Transport Protocol (ISTP) for IPCablecom PSTN Signaling Gateways. ISTP is a protocol that provides a

signaling interconnection service between the IPCablecom network control elements (Call Management Server and Media Gateway Controller) and the PSTN C7 Signaling network through the C7 Signaling Gateway.
J.166 IPCablecom management information base (MIB) framework Approved Describes the framework in which IPCablecom MIBs (Management Information Base) are defined. It provides information on the

management requirements of IPCablecom specified devices and functions, and how these requirements are supported in the MIB. It is intended to support and complement the actual MIB documents, which are issued separately.
J.167 Media terminal adapter (MTA) device provisioning requirements for the delivery of real time services over cable television networks using cable modems Approved Defines the protocol mechanisms for provisioning of an IPCablecom embedded-MTA device by a single provisioning and network management provider.
J.168 IPCablecom media terminal adapter (MTA) MIB requirements Approved Defines the MIB module which supplies the basic management objects for the MTA Device.
J.169 IPCablecom Network Call Signaling (NCS) MIB Requirements Approved Defines the MIB module which supplies the basic management object for the NCS protocol
J.170 IPCablecom security specification Approved Defines the Security architecture, protocols, algorithms, associated functional requirements and any technological requirements that can provide for the security of the system for the IPCablecom network.
J.171 IPCablecom Trunking Gateway Control Protocol (TGCP) Approved Defines a trunking gateway control protocol (TGCP) for use in a centralized call control architecture that assumes relatively simple endpoint devices. TGCP is designed to meet the protocol requirements for the Media Gateway Controller to Media Gateway interface defined in the IPCablecom architecture.
J.173 IPCablecom embedded MTA primary line support Approved Specifies minimum device requirements for embedded multimedia terminal adapters in the areas of physical interfaces, power requirements, processing capabilities and protocol support.
J.174 IPCablecom Interdomain Quality of Service Approved February 02 Defines an architectural model for end-to-end Quality of Service for IPCablecom Inter- and Intra- Domain environments.
J.as Audio server protocol For consent June 02 Describes the architecture and protocols that are required for playing announcements in voice-over-IP (VoIP) IPCablecom networks. Announcements can be as basic as fixed-content announcements (e.g., all circuits busy) or as complex as those provided by intelligent IVR (Inveractive Voice Response) systems.
J.memmib IPCablecom management event  mechanism MIB For consent June 02 Defines the MIB for Management Event Mechanism that IPCablecom elements can use to report to management systems and/or local logs asynchronous events that indicate malfunction situations and notification about important non-fault situation.
