The scope of this project is to amend IEEE Std 802.3 to add physical layer specifications and management parameters for point-to-multipoint passive optical networks supporting MAC data rates of 25 Gb/s or 50 Gb/s in the downstream direction and 10 Gb/s, 25 Gb/s, or 50 Gb/s in the upstream direction, with distance and split ratios consistent with those defined in IEEE Std 802.3. It also extends the operation of Ethernet Passive Optical Networks (EPON) protocols, such as MultiPoint Control Protocol (MPCP) and Operation Administration and Management (OAM).

The present document specifies the oneM2M and AllJoyn® interworking technologies that enable AllJoyn® Applications and oneM2M entities produce/consume services.

The scope of the present document is to support Smart Appliance common ontology and communication framework testing needs. It specifies a global methodology for testing for Smart Appliances, based oneM2M specifications. It analyses the overall testing needs and identifies and defines the additional documentation required.

The testing framework proposed in the present document provides methodology for development of conformance and interoperability test strategies, test systems and the resulting test specifications for SAP.

The present document's scope is to provide guidance on OTT video streaming testing approach with a set of minimum desired and most meaningful QoE centric QoS parameters along with recommendations to create a figure of merit quantifying the OTT video streaming session quality, where possible. In addition, the set of introduced QoE centric QoS parameters aim to help with the identification of the possible roots of video quality degradation. The present document also offers means to understand aspects related with network and services optimization and troubleshooting, such as the trade-off between bandwidth usage or controlled throttling and end-to-end video quality.

The present document provides a framework for concurrent tests of multiple services, using a top-level approach which is also modular and scalable with respect to new services. Also, the framework explicitly integrates measurement methodology, in particular reproducibility aspects.

The present document summarizes the results of an analysis of the impact of the upcoming 5G on existing QoS metrics, and the question if extensions or modifications of the portfolio of QoS parameters portfolio are required to capture respective properties of 5G.

The analysis starts with a summary of features and properties of 5G which can be expected to be relevant for QoS assessment.
The first question addressed is if there are features of the 5G roadmap - as far as technically stable as of the time of publication, or reasonably stable projections - which constitute new services which would then require new sets of QoS parameters. The second question is in what way projected 5G properties may require adaptations with respect to measurement methodologies, computation, or usage of existing QoS parameters.

The present document discusses Quality of Service (QoS) aspects of services related to the Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem from an end-to-end perspective; a strict end-user, service-oriented point of view. Here, end-to-end is understood as "from a service user/terminal/provider to a service user/terminal/provider".

The discussion deals with two questions. The first question is if the existing framework for QoS parameter definitions and methodologies is sufficient to also include the IoT angle of view. The second question is if the existing portfolio of QoS parameters needs extensions or adaptations.

The present document describes requirements on both CMTSs and CMs in order to implement a DOCSIS® Layer-2 Virtual Private Network (DOCSIS® L2VPN) feature.

The L2VPN feature allows cable operators to offer a Layer 2 Transparent LAN Service (TLS) to commercial enterprises. In order to speed time to market, CM-TR-L2VPN-DG-V02 [i.8] offers guidelines to CMTS manufacturers as to how to phase the implementation of requirements defined in the present document.
Phase designations are only applicable to CMTS products. Cable modems are expected to support all required L2VPN features in Phase 1. The present document corresponds to the CableLabs L2VPN specification CM-SP-L2VPN-I12

The present document describes a method for distributed deployment and centralized control of a DOCSIS cable broadband access system in which the cable network equipment is used in a plant where fibre is run to the cabinet (e.g. in the basement of a customer's multiple dwelling unit) and coax to each customer. This architecture is collectively referred to as Cabinet DOCSIS or "C-DOCSIS". It has been developed to meet the operability and manageability requirements for cable networks that offer a variety of high-bandwidth services and provide QoS guarantees for these services in a distributed architecture. This architecture applies to the operations, administration and management (OAM) of cable broadband access networks.

The present document defines optional implementation architectures for CMTS equipment intended for use in distributed deployments. It defines the functional modules within the CMTS, three different system architectures utilizing the functional modules and the data and control interfaces between these modules for each of those architectures. It also defines general device requirements for the different distributed CMTS architectures.
The present document corresponds to the CableLabs C-DOCSIS specification

The present document is part of a series of specifications that defines the fourth generation of high-speed data-over-cable systems, commonly referred to as the DOCSIS 3.1 specifications. The present document was developed for the benefit of the cable industry, and includes contributions by operators and vendors from North and South America, Europe and Asia.

The present document is part 1 of a multi-part deliverable that define the fourth generation of high-speed data-overcable systems, commonly referred to as the DOCSIS® 3.1 specifications. This specification was developed for the benefit of the cable industry, and includes contributions by operators and vendors from North and South America, Europe, and Asia.

This generation of the DOCSIS® specifications builds upon the previous generations of DOCSIS® specifications (commonly referred to as the DOCSIS® 3.0 and earlier specifications), leveraging the existing Media Access Control (MAC) and Physical (PHY) layers, but with the addition of a new PHY layer designed to improve spectral efficiency and provide better scaling for larger bandwidths (and appropriate updates to the MAC and management layers to support the new PHY layer). It includes backward compatibility for the existing PHY layers in order to enable a seamless migration to the new technology.

The present document provides specifications of infrastructure related ITS services to support communication between infrastructure ITS equipment and traffic participants using ITS equipment (e.g. vehicles, pedestrians). It defines services in the Facilities layer for communication between the infrastructure and traffic participants. The specifications cover the protocol handling for infrastructure-related messages as well as requirements to lower layer protocols and to the security entity.
