The Hi-SD CBS includes a termination unit and pluralities of distributed
customer premise units connected through the cable TV (CATV) network. The
radio signals in Hi-SD CBS are propagating inside the co-axial cable. To
insure the linking quality between the termination unit and customer
premise devices, preamble procedures are required to adjust the
transmitting radio power, the receiver sensitivity, the channel
equalization, and to synchronize the transceivers for data transmission
between the termination unit and the customer premise devices. To
guarantee a secure link between the termination unit and an individual
customer premise device or a group of premise devices, the termination
unit provides different encryption keys to different customer premise
device groups.
