Title: BROADBAND TRANSMISSION STANDARDS


1
BROADBAND TRANSMISSION STANDARDS
  • DSL, ADSL and other flavors

2
Background
  • For the longest time it was taught that analog
    phone lines are bandlimited to 4 KHz
  • Nyquists first criterion then states that
    maximum theoretical data rate on such lines is
    8000 pulses/sec.
  • So what happened?

3
Historical trends
  • Modems started out at 300 bits/sec using binary
    FSK modulation
  • Over time speed grew to 1200, 2400, 9600 and
    finally 56K bits/sec.
  • This increase was made possible by using high
    density digital modulations
  • And yes, this was all done within the confines of
    4 KHz bandwidth
  • 56K, V.90, was the first standard taking
    advantage of digital backbone at 64 Kbps

4
26 Mb/sec over ordinary phone lines?
  • DSL in its various flavors, allows for up to 26
    MB/sec over twisted pair. How is that possible?
  • The answer is that it is the switch that has
    limited us not the phone lines
  • Solution avoid the switch by extracting digital
    signals before they get to the switch and
    re-route them to a broadband network

5
Original objectives
  • Cover a serving distance of 18000 feet on a
    single twisted pair telephone subscriber loop at
    T1 rate of 1.544 Mb/s. Motivation
    video-on-demand (meets H.261 MPEG rate)
  • Other features
  • POTS availability 300 Hz-4KHz
  • Upstream control channel 16-64Kb/s in 10 KHz-50
    KHz
  • Downstream 1.544 Mb/s in 100-500 KHz

Why the A in ADSL?
  • Asymmetric DSL rates are
  • Downstream 1.544 Mb/s for distances less than
    18000 feet (to CO) up to 6.144 Mb/s up to 12000
    feet
  • Upstream 16 to 640 Kb/s
  • Asymmetry is due to the bundling of the twisted
    pair telephone wires. Symmetric rates interfere
    with each other
  • Symmetric rates must be much slower and cover
    shorter distances

10
DSL flavors
  • ADSL
  • Modulation CAP or DMT
  • Data rate 8 Mb/sec downstream (in 240KHz-2 MHz)
    and up to 1 Mb/sec upstream in the 25--200 KHz
    simultaneously with POTS
  • HDSL
  • Four wire access for achieving symmetrical rates
    at T1 (1.544 Mb/sec) or E1(2.048 Mb/sec).
  • Modulation CAP64(passband) or 2B1Q( baseband)
  • Spectrum in copper loop0-300 KHz or 0-425 KHz
  • Fractional T1 rates supported (i.e. nx64 Kb/sec)
  • No simultaneous voice data, HDSL2 will do that

11
More DSL flavors
  • SDSL
  • Single-pair (two wire) implementation of 2B1Q or
    CAP modem
  • Echo cancellation and adaptive equalization
  • Symmetric data rates of 384 Kb/s, 768 Kb/s, 1
    Mb/s or 2 Mb/s.
  • SDSL is expected to eclipse HDSL due to its
    single pair, symmetrical data rate property
  • VDSL
  • Supports much shorter distances
  • Very high-speed DSL 6.5-51.8 Mb/s downstream.
  • 1.6-6.5 Mb/s upstream for asymmetrical services
    and 6.5-25.9 Mb/s for symmetrical services(short
    lt1000 ft, two-wire loops)
  • Modulation M-ary CAP, DMT

12
DSL Modems
  • Discrete Multi Tone (DMT)
  • or
  • Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing
  • (OFDM)

13
The general problemmultipath
  • Transmitted signal arrives at the receiver
    through a number of paths

14
Effect on pulse transmission
  • Multiple copies of the signal interfere with each
    other(ISI). Let T be bit duration. Pulses are
    delayed differently forming a delay spread
  • Largest delay is called maximum delay spread

?max
A received symbol can be influenced by ?max/T
previous symbols We want max delay spread to be
less than T, i.e. bit duration
T
15
What are the choices?Single carrier approach
  • Either reduce delay spread or increase T
  • Increasing T means reducing bitrate. Dont like
    that.
  • Example (DVB)
  • Transmission rate R1/T7.4 Msymbols/sec
  • Maximum channel delay ?max224 ?sec
  • For a single carrier modulation
  • ?max/T1600
  • The complexity of removing this much interference
    is enormous

16
Multi-carrier approach
  • Split data at rate R into N parallel stream of
    rate Rmc1/TmcR/N
  • Each slower data stream is modulated by a
    different carrier frequency and transmitted in
    the same band
  • ISI is reduced by a factor of N
  • ?max/Tmc ?max/NT
  • For DVB, we have N8192 streams resulting in
  • ?max/Tmc0.2

17
What are we talking about?Multicarrier modulation
  • Modulation method used in DSL is of a frequency
    division multiplexing flavor.
  • Channel is divided into many subchannels
  • This approach bundles bits and transmits them
    over different frequency bands to counter channel
    characteristics

18
Channel allocation
  • DMT in current ADSL creates 256 downstream
    subbands, 4 kHz each
  • Each channel can be modulated with QAM at up to
    15 bits/sec/hz.
  • Theoretical transmission rate is then 15.36
    Mb/sec over a zero length line. How?

15(b/s/Hz) x 4000(Hz/channel) x
256(channels)15.36 Mb/sec
19
Bit allocation
  • Instead of using equalizers to correct channel
    response, DMT spreads data over all channels
    according to the SNR in each one.

20
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexingfirst
step
  • Take a bitstream running and divide it into N
    parallel channels each at a reduced rate

1 0 1 ...
On each line, group Bits into a symbol. The
symbols are much wider than the original
bitstream thus defeating possible ISI

Modulation in OFDM
  • Each symbol is mapped to a QAM constellation.
    Channels are modulated by orthogonal frequencies

22
OFDM signal model
  • The OFDM signal can be written as the sum of N
    pulses modulating N orthogonal carriers
  • Fixed k means summing symbols from different
    channels, each modulating a different frequency

23
OFDM epoch
  • Lets look at epoch k0. This is taking N
    symbols one from each channel and adding them up.

  • OFDM can be generated by an inverse FFT

Variable bit loading
  • Input data at Mfs bits /sec grouped into blocks
    of M bits at a block (or symbol) rate of fs then
    ...

Serial to parallel conversion-M bits at a time

26
Bringing in the multitones
  • Each group of bits then modulate a separate
    carrier the mnth group modulates a carrier with
    carrier frequency fc,n
  • There are Nc carriers spaced ?f Hz apart. The
    total number of carriers where Ncn.
  • For the previous slide, we need 5 carriers
    because we broke up 8 bits into 5 groups of bits

Selecting modulations

3 bits
When a block contains 2 bits, they represent 4
states. The 4 states come from a 4-QAM
modulation. Same goes for 3 bits
