This is the MIB Module for MCNS compliant Radio Frequency
(RF) interfaces in wireless point-to-multipoint subscriber
units (SU) and wireless Head-end (HE).
Glossary :
The following terms are used in the MIB definitions below.
MCNS : Multimedia Cable Network System
P2MP : Point-Multipoint wireless system consisting of
Headend (HE) and Subscriber-units (SU).
HE : Head-end
SU : Subscriber-unit.
Attached US
channel : The upstream channel on which the SU is
transmitting.
codeword : Data unit in a FEC (forward error correction)
process.
OFDM : Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing.
ODU : Outdoor unit (antenna).
UCD : Upstream Change Descriptor.
Cisco Wireless DOCSIS MIB Organization:
The Cisco Wireless DOCSIS MIB provides the following
categories :
* Groups/Tables that are common between HE and SU
* Groups/Tables that apply to SU only
* Groups/Tables that apply to HE only
Groups/Tables that are common between HE and SU
o. cwdIfChannelTable
This represents the RF channel within which upstream
and downstream sub-channels operate. There will one such
RF channel per point-to-multipoint interface.
A RF channel identifies the portion of the RF spectrum
that will be used to create a broadcast domain that
will be used for communication.
This channel deploys a sub-channel plan, which is used by
the upstreams and downstreams.
The sub-channel number for a channel is determined based
on the number of sub-channels allowed and sub-channel plan
version. If the maximum number of sub-channels allowed is
4 and the sub-channel plan version is 1 the spectrum can
be sub divided as shown below.

The above sub-channel planning can be extended to
allow maximum number of sub-channels to be 8, 26 etc.
The objects in this group are configurable only at
the head-end and are read-only at the subscriber end.
o. cwdIfDownstreamChannelTable
This table contains the configuration
information and attributes of downstream channel.
The objects in this group are configurable
only at the head-end and are read-only at the
subscriber end.
o. cwdIfUpstreamChannelTable
This table contains the configuration information
and attributes of upstream channel.
Parameters in this table are configurable
only at the Head-end, and are read-only at the SU.
Only the rows that pertain to the upstream used by
the subscriber unit will be available at the SU.
o. cwdIfQosProfileTable
This table describes the attributes of each class of
service.
The entries in this table are referenced from the
cwdIfHeServiceEntries or cwdIfSuServiceEntries.
This table is implemented at both the SU and the HE.
The SU need only maintain entries for the classes of
service referenced by its cwdIfSuServiceTable.
o. cwdIfSignalQualityTable
At the SU, this table describes the PHY signal quality of
downstream channels. At the HE, it describes the PHY signal
quality of upstream channels.
o. cwdIfModulationTable
Describes modulation parameters associated with one or more
Upstream or downstream channels.
Groups/Tables that apply to SU only
o. cwdIfSuMacTable
This table describes the attributes of each SU MAC
interface, extending the information available from
ifEntry. An entry in this table exists for each
ifEntry with an ifType of propDocsWirelessMacLayer(nnn).
o. cwdIfSuStatusTable
This table maintains a number of status objects
and counters for Subscriber Units.
An entry in this table exists for each ifEntry with an
ifType of propDocsWirelessMacLayer(nnn).
o. cwdIfSuServiceTable
This table describes the attributes of each upstream
service queue on a SU.
Groups/Tables that apply to HE only
o. cwdIfHeMacTable
Describes the attributes of each HE MAC interface,
extending the information available from ifEntry.
An entry in this table exists for each ifEntry with an
ifType of propDocsWirelessMacLayer(nnn).
o. cwdIfHeStatusTable
For the MAC layer, this group maintains a number of
status objects and counters.
An entry in this table exists for each ifEntry with an
ifType of propDocsWirelessMacLayer(nnn).
o. cwdIfHeServiceTable
This table describes the attributes of upstream
service queues in a Head-end System. Entries in
this table exist for each ifEntry with an ifType
of propDocsWirelessMacLayer(nnn), and for each
service queue (Service ID) within this MAC layer.
Entries in this table are created with the creation of
individual Service IDs by the MAC layer and removed
when a Service ID is removed.
