Limitation of POTS and ISDN
  • Limitation in existing subscriber lines
  • Restrictive for high-speed service
  • Limited data-carrying capacity of 56kbps using
    V.90
  • Analog mode and suppressing filters above 3,400Hz
  • Limitation of POTS
  • Customer connected over thin-wire pairs (26guage,
    0.5mm)
  • Local loops are bundled in binder groups (feeder
    part)
  • Limitation of ISDN services
  • Not possible to provision ISDN and POTS in same
    local loop
  • Internet Problems for POTS and ISDN
  • Both carries data in circuit mode (voice switch)

6
Digital Loop Carrier
  • T1 or HDSL base feeder (connecting CO and RT)

7
xDSL
  • Advanced modulation technology based bandwidth
    expansion (128kbps to 52Mbps)
  • xDSL easier to install than ISDN
  • needs inside wiring work and copper line cleaning
  • Variations depending on symmetry of
    upward/downward data rates (ADSL vs SDSL) and the
    location of equipment (ADSL vs VDSL)
  • Supports POTS using splitter (split flter). But
    G.Lite can eliminate splitter.
  • HDSL can replace T1/E1 without repeaters.

IDSL
  • ISDN Digital Subscriber Line is a cross point
    between ISDN and xDSL
  • Made available with the introduction of ISDN
  • 2B D basic rate access (BRA), 144kbps16kbps
  • B 64kbps for voice or data
  • D 16kbps for call control or packet data
  • Transmission rate of 80 ksps
  • 2B1Q modulated
  • Travels over 5.4 km over 24 gauge (.5mm)

10
HDSL
  • Comparable with T1/E1 lines
  • 1.5 - 2 Mbps rate transmission with 2 pairs
  • Can replace T1/E1 lines without repeaters
  • For T1 rate (1.5Mbps), two TP wires are necessary
  • For E1 rate (2Mbps), three TP wires are necessary
  • 2B1Q Modulated, CAP, DMT
  • 2B1Q 3.6km, CAP5.5km over 24 gauge
  • Interference problem when bundled in large size

11
SDSL
  • Symmetric (or Single-line) HDSL (SHDSL, SDSL)
  • Two-wire (single pair) implementation of 2B1Q or
    CAP
  • Data rate of 384kbps2Mbps (Sub-T1/E1 rates
    obtainable)
  • HDSL2 (G.SHDSL) stadard
  • Symmetric 2.3 Mbps over a single loop pair
  • Symmetric 4.6 Mbps over two loop pair
  • Echo cancellation and adaptive equalization

12
ADSL
  • Up/down asymmetric bandwidth
  • For use in Internet, VOD like applications
  • One pair - good for residential use
  • 1.5/2 6/8 Mbps down, 16820 kbps up
  • Up to 5.4km without repeaters (0.5mm)
  • DMT (standardized), CAP (market) modulation
  • POTS split through split filter (SF)
  • Rate-Adaptive DSL (RADSL) - line condition
  • Universal ADSL (UADSL) - without split filter

13
ADSL G.Lite
  • ITU G.992.2
  • Easy and consumer-installable due to no need of
    POTS splitters like in full-rate ADSL (UADSL)
  • Offers the services of ADSL at a lower speed
  • POTS service possible by reducing the
    transmission power when off-hook
  • Fast retrain procedure 12 s cessation of
    service
  • Longer reach and much less power than full-rate
    ADSL

14
VDSL
  • Very high data rate, (a)symmetric DSL
  • Drop line for FTTC application
  • 1352 (155) Mbps down depending on distance
  • 300 m to 1.5 km distance (from curb to home)
  • CAP, DMT,QAM (DAVIC) modulation
  • POTS split through split filter (SF)
  • Standardization (DAVIC, ANSI T1E1.4, ETSI TM6,
    FSAN)

ADSL Components
  • ADSL Transceiver Units
  • Physical layer device for frequency allocation,
    echo cancellation, FDM, rate adaptation, etc.
  • POTS splitter
  • Lowpass/highpass filter that separates analog
    voice from ADSL frequencies
  • DSL Access Multiplexer
  • Houses a set of ATU-C interfaces, mux/demuxes
    traffic from multiple ATU-Cs onto a single
    high-speed trunk

ADSL Operation (1)
  • Two services of ADSL
  • transparent access to legacy voice service
  • high-speed digital service
  • Voice Service (1)
  • Provision of voice service relatively simple
  • In-home configuration
  • Frequencies below 3400Hz shunt by POTS splitters
    to POTS wiring at home and to voice switch at CO
  • NID (or NT) by telco powering, ATU-R by local
    powering
  • Voice service not to be subject to home wiring
    impairments
  • Protection of NID from lightening required not to
    damage home electronics.
  • So professional assistance needed for splitter
    installation

29
ADSL Operation (2)
  • Voice Service (2)
  • Three possible locations of POTS splitter
  • LPF at NID and HPF at ATU-R
  • both filters in ATU-R
  • both filters in NID
  • Three constraints
  • local powering ATU-R
  • voice not to be subject to impairments of home
    wiring
  • LPF relatively large, so does not fit into NID
  • These three constraints suggest POTS splitter and
    ATU-R should be separated

30
ADSL Operation (3)
  • One proposal from British Telecom

31
ADSL Operation (4)
  • Digital Service (1)
  • 1. Determine latency
  • Video traffic subject to burst error, so
    interleaving and FEC used.
  • ANSI provided 500microsecond burst protection
    against impulse noise, creating 20ms latency.
  • But data service has no such requirement as
    higher-layer protocols can perform error
    correction, - delay of only 4ms.
  • So ADSL provides two logical data channels fast
    (4ms) and slow (20ms)
  • Video on slow channel due to FEC and interleaving
  • Data on fast channel only with (de)modulation
    delay
  • ATU-R determines which latency type to take at
    start-up

32
ADSL Operation (5)
  • Digital Service (2)
  • 2. Determine bit rate
  • RADSL adapts to the line condition via a
    negotiation process
  • When powered on, ATU-R probes the line to
    determine signal carrying capacity.
  • Signal-carrying capacity is a function of
    distance, noise, and allowable margins
  • Negotiation goes between ATU-C and ATU-R for
    maximum sustainable bit rate (out of four
    start-up rates, ANSI)
  • Entire negotiation within 20s.

33
ADSL Operation (6)
  • Digital Service (3)
  • 3. Perform auto-configuration
  • Configuring IP addresses and software filters for
    ATU-R
  • Relatively straightforward since each user has a
    dedicated ATU-C
  • Manually configured by DSLAM or some form of
    software tunnel between ATU-R and a device
  • Method differs depending whether ATU-R or the end
    system is IP-aware
  • If ATU-R and PC is IP-aware DHCP client is one
    autoconfiguration technique

34
ADSL Operation (7)
  • Digital Service (4)
  • 4. Digital Data Transfer
  • After startup complete, data transferring
  • ATU-R accepts data from home networking over an
    Ethernet, ATM25, or other digital protocols,
    encapsulates, and then sends out.
  • MAC protocol is not required unlike HFC
  • Dynamic rate adaptation ATU-R and ATU-C
    renegotiation during data transmission by
    periodic testing of line conditioning --
    retraining time will be required in support of
    this.

35
Modulation Techniques
  • 2B1Q (2 binary, 1 quaternary)
  • DMT (discrete multi-tone modulation)
  • CAP (carrier-less amplitude and phase modulation)
  • QAM (quadrature amplitude modulation)
  • QPSK

Access Network Architecture (2)
  • Typical technology-independent protocol stack

61
Service Architecture over ADSL (1)
  • Basically a p2p switched transmission technology
  • IP over PPP over HDLC over ADSL or
  • IP over ATM over ADSL
  • ADSL intended to be used as access technology for
    Internet or LAN access in conjunction with analog
    telephony service
  • Various architectural models possible to meet the
    specific service offerings, interconnection to
    the backbone networks, and strategic direction of
    a network provider

62
Service Architecture over ADSL (2)
  • A plausible communications model for data over
    ADSL

63
Service Architecture over ADSL (3)
  • ATU-C encoding and modulating the DS data and
    combining the analog POTS signal in US,
    demodulating the signal received from the
    customer and outputting a data stream and POTS
    signal
  • Three main architecture options
  • Bit-synchronous mode
  • ATM cell mode
  • Packet mode
  • Type of mode is independent of underlying line
    encoding method used

64
Service Architecture over ADSL (4)
  • Generic reference architecture at logical model

65
Service Architecture over ADSL (5)
  • Bit-Synchronous Mode
  • Traditional circuit-switched network digital
    hierarchy
  • Interface with either a backbone voice or data
    network via existing CBR circuit-switched
    services
  • Plesiochronous digital hierarchy supported in
    ADSL
  • DS1 (1.544 Mbps) E1 (2.048 Mbps) DS2 (6.312
    Mbps) E2 (8.448 Mbps)
  • An application will typically use the appropriate
    bandwidth from the digital hierarchy meeting the
    bandwidth demand
  • Data applications such as Internet and LAN
    interconnect supported in this mode

66
Service Architecture over ADSL (6)
  • Packet-based Transport over ADSL
  • MUX in the access node adapts the protocol
    carried over ADSL to one of the commonly used
    packet transport services
  • Switching and/or routing of variable-length layer
    2 frames and/or layer 3 packets over an ADSL link
  • PPP and FR are the most popular L2 protocols
    (HDLC-like) supporting any of L3 protocols (IP,
    IPS,..)
  • PPP encapsulation allows many different
    protocols to be transported over p2p links
  • FUNI encapsulation variable-size frame to be
    transmitted is encapsulated in FUNI frame

67
Service Architecture over ADSL (7)
  • ATM-based Transport over ADSL
  • ATU-R provides a native ATM interface to the user
    device or a legacy LAN interface with
    segmentation and reassembly (SAR) functionality
  • Edge switch
  • ATM multiplexer in access node
  • Concentration and ATM layer routing function
  • Alternatively, SAR and network layer routing can
    be provided in CO such as DSLAM
  • On access side multiplicity of service protocols
    (TCP/IP, PPP, FR, ATM cell relay, ATM circuit
    emulation) over a variety of physical layer
    protocols (HDSL, ADSL, DS1)
  • On backbone side standard ATM user-network
    interface for transport to ATM switch, which can
    connect to ATM backbone
