Summary

This Recommendation "Access systems for interactive services on SMATV/MATV networks" covers the definition of the framing structure, channel coding and modulation for the provision of an Interaction channel throughout SMATV/MATV networks from the user to the SMATV/MATV Head-end.

This Recommendation defines two current technological alternatives for the interactive service provision in SMATV/MATV networks according to a bandwidth dependent classification. In particular, the cable based solution is fitted when broadband applications are concerned while the Master Link Low Rate TDMA is suited for narrow-band applications.
