“…The IEEE standardization bodies should define in the near future a standardized MAC protocol for HFC networks under the 802.14 reference. The transmission technique to be adopted on the optical link is not in the scope of the standard [25], [26].…”

The provision of broad-band services based on either the Internet or the asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) technique requires a new generation of access networks. In the short term, solutions such as x-digital subscriber line (DSL) and hybrid fiber coaxial (HFC), allowing the reuse of existing infrastructures, look very promising. For the longer term, new infrastructures based either on radio or on optical access links seem preferable. Three x-DSL techniques aiming at high-bit-rate transmission over twisted pairs are presented: high-bit-rate DSL, asymmetrical DSL, and very-high-bit-rate DSL. An extension of existing cable television networks known as HFC is also described. Two other prospective approaches, wireless in the loop (WITL) and fiber in the loop (FITL), are then presented. Several techniques are considered for WITL: digital enhanced cordless telecommunication, local multipoint distribution service, wireless ATM, and low earth orbit satellite constellations. The various architectural alternatives for the FITL approach are discussed, a special interest being dedicated to the synchronous digital hierarchy self-healing loop and the ATM over passive optical network. In our presentation, we mention the main experiments and the standardization activities inherent to the domain.
