HONET Integrated Services Access Network Chapter 1 System Overview

Chapter 1 System Overview

With the increasing demands on telecommunication services, the carriers need an


access network that can integrate data, voice and multimedia services while providing
large access capacity, high access speed and high quality of service.

The HONET Integrated Services Access Network (the HONET for short) of Huawei is
a mainstream solution for integrated services access network thanks to its diverse
service interfaces, flexible networking patterns and excellent maintainability.

1.1 About Integrated Services Access Network

An integrated services access network is an access network that provides access for
both narrowband and broadband services at the same time.

The narrowband services here include the Public Switched Telephone Network
(PSTN) service, Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) service, Digital Data
Network (DDN) service and so on. While the broadband services here include the x
Digital Subscriber Line (xDSL) access services, Local Area Network (LAN) access
services and Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) leased line interconnection
services.

An integrated services access network is very often built up over a Synchronous


Digital Hierarchy (SDH) or Virtual Path (VP) ring transmission system. The most
important parts in such a network include the Optical Line Terminal (OLT) and the
Optical Network Unit (ONU). The OLT and ONU, together with the SDH/VP ring
transmission system and the network management system (NMS), form a complete
integrated services access network.

Figure 1–1 shows the overall structure of the integrated service access network.

1.2 About the HONET

Huawei presents the HONET as a total solution on the integrated services access
network, in which different systems of Huawei have been merged together to provide
outstanding performance.

1.2.1 Technical Breakthroughs

The HONET supports a full spectrum of narrowband and broadband services that are
essential in an Integrated Services Access network. Moreover, it is empowered with a
number of technical breakthroughs of Huawei to support the ever varying services
and to extend the service coverage.

These breakthroughs include the “narrowband-and-broadband integrated platform”,


“bus resource sharing technology” and “built-in VP Ring technology”.

1.2.2 Components

z OLT
In the HONET solution, the MD5500 Multi-service Distribution Module (the MD5500
for short) of Huawei plays the role of an OLT.
z ONU
In the HONET solution, the following devices of Huawei can play the role of an ONU:

– UA5000 Universal Access Unit (the UA5000 for short)

– PV8 frames (PV8-6, PV8-10 or PV8-12)

1-2
Technical Manual
HONET Integrated Services Access Network Chapter 1 System Overview

– RSP frames (RSP-6, RSP-10, RSP-12 or RSP-14)


z Optical transmission system
In the HONET solution, the OptiX or Metro optical transmission solution of Huawei is
used. Other standard optical transmission systems are also supported.
z NMS
In the HONET solution, the iManager N2000 Fixed Network Integrated Management
System of Huawei (the iManager N2000 for short) is used as the network
management system (NMS) to manage both the network and network elements.

The following chapters describe in detail the composition of the HONET system.

1.2.3 System Architecture

The HONET may consist of both the MD5500 and the UA5000 to build up a two-layer
access network. It may also use only the UA5000 to build up a single-layer access
network together with the local exchanges, ATM switches or the routers.

I. Two-layer networking

In the two-layer networking mode, the HONET consists of the MD5500, the UA5000,
the OptiX or Metro optical transmission system and the iManager N2000 NMS.

See Figure 1–2.

function over environment and power supply and outstanding battery management
function.
2) DC power distribution frame
When powered by –48 V power supply, the OLT cabinet needs to be equipped with an
imbedded DC power distribution frame. There are two types of DC power distribution
frames. One is rear-access and the other is front-access. Both of them are 19-inch
frames of 2U height. A DC power distribution frame provides two –48 V DC power
inputs and four power outputs with a maximum power of 3500 W.

II. Power supply and environment monitoring unit

Designed with powerful environment monitoring function, the HONET can monitor the
environment parameters inside/outside the OLT and ONU cabinets, power supply and
fans. The monitoring function enables unattended maintenance for the equipment
room. At the OLT side, the environment monitoring units include:
z Power supply and environment monitoring unit
z Power distribution frame monitoring unit
z Fan frame monitoring unit
1) Power supply and environment monitoring unit
The PS4845/15 power supply and environment monitoring unit monitors the working
status of all rectifier modules and power distribution module, and manages the battery.

with the MD5500 through a serial port to monitor the power states of the power
distribution frame, as well as the environment around the power distribution frame
through the temperature and humidity sensors and external digital sensors.
z Lightning protection detection: The monitoring unit provides an optical coupling
isolation detecting interface for monitoring the state of the lightning protection
components.
z Voltage detection: The monitoring unit detects the voltage of the –48 V power
inputs of the standard power distribution frame, and reports the voltage values.
When overvoltage or undervoltage occurs to any input, the unit will generate
alarms.
z Shunt switch detection: The monitoring unit performs detection for four outputs of
the power distribution frame. If the shunt switch is disconnected, the unit will
generate alarms.
z Environment monitoring: The monitoring unit monitors temperature and humidity
in the power distribution frame, and provides eight digital interfaces for external
sensors to monitor the status of water, door access control and main distribution
frame.
z Local audio and visual alarm: On the panel of the monitoring unit, there are Light
Emitting Diode (LED) indicators that denote the running states and the existence
of alarms, and a buzzer that makes audio alarm when there is a new alarm.
3) Fan frame monitoring unit
The HONET can communicate with the fan frame through the backplane of the
MD5500 to monitor one or more fan frames at the same time.

The fan frame has a built-in monitoring unit that monitors the running status of a fan.
When any fault occurs to the fan, the unit will generate an alarm. The monitoring unit
executes commands delivered by the MD5500 to control the fans and perform alarm
setting (for example, speed adjustment and fan alarm control). The monitoring unit can
keep the voltage of the power supply to fans within the allowable range, thus ensuring
that the fans can work reliably for a long term.

2.3.2 Frame Structure

The HONET provides a broad range of ONUs for applications in different scenarios.
The differences among these ONUs lie in application site (indoor and outdoor),
specifications (cabinet-shape and case-shape), cabling mode (front-access and
rear-access) and capacity (large capacity and small capacity).

The UA5000 includes five types of frames to fit different cabinets. They are UAM, UAS,
UAFM, UAFS and UAFX.

This section focuses on the ONU frames. For details about the boards used in these
frames, refer to section “2.3.4 Supported Boards”.

2.3.3 Frame Hardware Design

I. UAM and UAFM

The UAM and the UAFM are master frames of the UA5000. They are controlled by the
MD5500 or connect broadband and narrowband networks directly in the single-layer
networking mode.

The UAM and the UAFM can connect slave frames to expand the system capacity and
to share the network resources. For broadband services, they can be subtended with
4-layer broadband slave frames in serial mode. For narrowband services, they can be
subtended with up to eight slave frames at star topology.

The narrowband service boards transmit services of the subscriber side to the
narrowband main control board (PV8) through TDM bus. After the protocol processing
and time slot crossing, the PV8 sends these services to the service node. Through the

2-19
Technical Manual
HONET Integrated Services Access Network Chapter 2 System Composition

control bus, the active PV8 monitors the service boards, test board (TSS) and standby
PV8. The TSS implements test function for the service boards through the test bus,
reports the test results to the active PV8. The PV8 will then forward the results to the
master control software of the MD5500.

The broadband service boards send broadband services to the broadband main control
board (APMA/IPMA). The APMA/IMPA sends the services upstream through IMA E1,
ATM E3, STM-1 ATM, STM-4 VP Ring, FE or GE port. The APMA/IPMA maintains the
broadband service boards.

When the UA5000 acts as a component of the NGN, another type of narrowband main
control board (PVM) converts the TDM signals of all narrowband service data into IP
packets. The IPMA then sends these packets upstream through FE or GE ports to the
IP networks along with broadband services.

There is another type of broadband service boards (BSL/B08/LSL) available for the
UA5000. These boards receive broadband services and transmit them to transmission
system through their E1 ports. These boards are configured and maintained by the
MD5500 through the inband network management channel.

The broadband and narrowband service data are converged and transmitted through
different lines to ensure that instant broadband large data flow will not affect the
narrowband services.

II. UAS and UAFS

The UAS and UAFS are slave frames of the UA5000.

The slave frame handles narrowband services through its narrowband main control
board (RSP). The RSP converges the received narrowband services through TDM bus
and sends them upstream through Highway (HW) or E1 port.

The slave frame processes broadband services through its broadband main control
board (APMA/IPMA). The APMA/IPMA converges received broadband services
through packet bus and sends them upstream through IMA E1, ATM E3, STM-1 ATM,
STM-4 VP Ring, FE or GE port.

The UA5000 slave frame can also house the broadband service boards (BSL/B08/LSL)
to provide small amount of ADSL interfaces. These boards receive broadband services
and transmit them to transmission system through their E1 ports.

III. PV8

The PV8 frame here refers to PV8-6, PV8-10 or PV8-12 frame. A PV8 frame can
subtend RSP frames to expand system capacity and share inter-frame resources. It
provides 32 differential HW interfaces through the HWC board to connect up to eight
RSP frames to scale up the ONU capacity. Each RSP frame consumes four or eight

2-21
Technical Manual
HONET Integrated Services Access Network Chapter 2 System Composition

HW interfaces. Since the HW resources are sufficient, the PV8 frame can share them
with the extended RSP frames.

The narrowband service boards process various subscriber services and transmit them
to the PV8 board through the HW data bus. After the protocol processing and time slot
crossing, the services are converged to the service node. Through the control bus, the
active PV8 board monitors service boards, TSS board and standby PV8 board. The
TSS implements test to the service boards through the test bus, reports the test results
to the active PV8 board through the control bus, and forwards the results to the control
software of the MD5500 in the mean time.

IV. RSP

The RSP frame here refers to RSP-6, RSP-12 or RSP-14 frame. A RSP frame can
share E1 ports of the PV8 frame through HW cables, or connect the transmission unit
directly through E1 ports.

The RSP board converges and transmits various narrowband services from the
subscriber boards to the PV8 frame through HW data bus, or to the transmission unit
through E1 ports.

The TSS implements the routine test for the service boards through the test bus, and
reports the results to the RSP board through the control bus.

3.4 Broadband Access Services

The HONET also supports broadband access services. The access means include
ADSL, VDSL and LAN. The UA5000 provides the ADSL, ADSL2+, VDSL and Ethernet
ports. The MD5500 provides the ATM port or IP port to connect with backbone network.

The HONET adopts the following procedures to handle subscriber services:


z Transmits the subscriber services transparently through AIC board
The MD5500 converges the broadband services from the UA5000 by means of ADSL,
VDSL and LAN, and transmits these services through ATM PVC to the ATM network
through the 155/622 Mbit/s ATM port provided by the AIC board.
z Transmits the subscriber services transparently through EPU board
The MD5500 converges the broadband services from the UA5000 by means of ADSL,
VDSL and LAN, and transmits these services to the upper layer IP equipment through
the FE/GE port provided by the EPU board.
z Implements Layer-3 routing and forwarding through IPU board
The IPU board transmits subscriber services upstream through IP port.

The MD5500 supports static routing and dynamic routing (RIP II and OSPF). The
following will detail the principles of ADSL, VDSL and LAN services.

3.4.1 ADSL Service

The UA5000 provides ADSL ports with different capacities through the ADL, CSL, and
BSL/B08 boards, and provides ADSL2+ ports through the ADMA board.

As shown in Figure 3–7, the UA5000 separates ADSL signals from POTS signals.
These signals are transmitted upstream to the MD5500 by the transmission system

3-4
Technical Manual
HONET Integrated Services Access Network Chapter 3 Service Implementation

through E1 port or IMA E1 port, or by optical fiber through the STM-1 ATM port or VP
Ring optical port. Then, the MD5500 transmits them upstream to the ATM or IP network
through corresponding interface, thus providing broadband services.

The ADSL access mode supports IPoA and IPoEoA protocols. For different access
protocols, ATU-R adopts different working modes, including bridge mode (RFC1483B),
IPoA mode (RFC1483R) and PPP mode. The following is the detail.
z For bridge mode, the HONET supports IPoEoA protocol. It implements Layer-3
routing and forwarding, and Layer-2 Ethernet frame transparent transmission.
z For IPoA mode and PPP mode, the HONET implements service access and
forwarding to upper layer equipment.

3.4.2 VDSL Service

The UA5000 provides VDSL ports through VDLA board. See Figure 3–8.

The UA5000 separates the VDSL signals from the POTS signals. In the upstream
direction, it connects to the MD5500 through FE port using optical fiber. The MD5500
connects to ATM or IP network in the upstream to provide broadband services.

The HONET adopts QAM modulation mode and symmetrical data transmission mode
to implement VDSL access service. It can transmit service at 12 Mbit/s over a distance
of 1500 m for 0.5 mm wire diameter or 1200 m for 0.4 mm wire diameter. As VDSL and
ADSL possess different edges in bandwidth and transmission distance, you can select
them according to networking and requirements in practice.

The UA5000 provides Ethernet ports for LAN access through LSL board. See Figure
3–9.

The LAN access can distinguish the priority level based on VLAN. This can assure the
QoS of the VLAN leased line interconnection service. The service accessed from the
UA5000 is carried over the E1 link and transmitted to the MD5500 through transmission
system. The MD5500 transmits the service upstream to ATM network or to IP network
to provide broadband services.

The LAN access supports IPoE and PPPoE protocols. Similar with the ADSL access,
the LAN access enables the HONET to implement not only the layer-3 routing and
forwarding functions, but also the function of layer-2 transparent transmission of the
Ethernet frames, so as to satisfy different networking application requirements.

3.5 Broadband/Narrowband Leased Line Services

The traditional narrowband data service includes digital data network (DDN), packet
switched public data network (PSPDN) and frame relay (FR) network. These networks

3-6
Technical Manual
HONET Integrated Services Access Network Chapter 3 Service Implementation

are cross-penetrated and complement each other. Meanwhile, they also complement
public switched telephone network (PSTN) and public land mobile network (PLMN).

As access equipment for integrated broadband and narrowband services, the HONET
enriches the narrowband data service access modes and ways, and provides the
broadband leased line services, such as LAN interconnection. This section presents
the implementation of these services.

3.5.1 HONET DAS Access Service

Currently, the problem of data subscriber access has to be considered. Previously, data
subscribers access the core network through copper wires, and the service range can
be expanded by adding the nodes. However, this technical measure has now found its
disadvantages. On one hand, the copper wire resources become insufficient. On the
other hand, it costs much to add service nodes. All of these obstruct further
development to network greatly. Under this condition, it has come to be recognized
using access network to implement data service access.

I. Features

The data service access in the HONET is implemented by the Data Access System
(DAS). It efficiently solves the covering problem of data network in the traditional
networking mode, and breaks through the bottleneck of service/cost. The major
features of the DAS are as follows.
z Abundant service interfaces
z Flexible networking capability
z Powerful network functions
z All-round maintenance means
The HONET DAS is a convenient, low-cost and efficient solution for the current leased
line services. The solution is a better substitute for the end node and even the
convergence node of the network access layer. The HONET DAS optimizes network
architecture.

The HONET provides all-round support to the broadband and narrowband services.
Meanwhile, it also smoothes the evolution from traditional data networks such as DDN
and FR to broadband network. All these make it a better choice for current data
services.

II. Service model introduction

The HONET DAS provides the access of leased line service. Its service model is shown
in Figure 3–10.

z User network interface (UNI) processing module
It provides the user interface interconnected to the user data terminal to implement the
user port function. It is installed in the ONU. Its interface rate includes 2048 kbit/s,
N×64 kbit/s (N=1-31), sub-rate (2.4/4.8/9.6/19.2 kbit/s). The module supports E1, V.35,
V.24 (synchronous/asynchronous), SHDSL, and 2B1Q interfaces.

NMS of the HONET.

3.5.2 2/4-wire VF Leased Line Service

The VFB does not have feed function. Its interface impedance is 600Ω. Its interface
level and 2/4-wire working mode can be set by software.

The subscriber terminal has two categories. One needs feeding and the other needs
not. The ASL analog line is recommended when the terminal type is uncertain. The VF
leased line is applicable to the situation that the terminal does not need feeding, and
the interface impedance is 600Ω.

The features of 2/4-wire VF leased line interface board are as follows:


z The selection of 2/4-wire interface is software adjustable. A 4-wire interface
comprises two adjacent 2-wire interfaces.
z The receiving/transmitting gains are adjustable, and the gain adjustment scope is
described below.
For 2-wire interface: Receiving gains: -7 dB--2 dB; Transmitting gains: 0 dB-+5 dB

For 4-wire interface: Receiving gains: -11 dB-+4 dB; Transmitting gains: -1 dB-+14 dB

3.5.3 2/4-wire E&M Trunk Service

The E&M signaling uses signaling channels that are separated from the voice channels
to convert signaling between exchanges and transmission systems. The signaling
channels include E lead M lead. The E lead is used to receive signaling and the M lead
is used to send signaling.

There are multiple types of E&M signalings. In terms of the lead amount, there are
2-wire E&M signaling and 4-wire E&M signaling. There are not only DC signals like
power supply and grounding, but also DC pulse signals on the E&M line. When Multiple
Frequency Control (MFC) or DTMF, instead of DC pulse signals, is used, these signals
are transmitted over the voice channel.

The E&M signaling is modified somewhat by each country when it is used. For example,
China adopts 2/4 lead VF interface working in 1E1M mode (Bell type V). The 2-wire

E&M interface transmits and receives signals over one pair of balanced line, and the
4-wire E&M interface transmits and receives signals over one pair of balanced line
respectively. See Figure 3–12.

M lead: When it is idle, the switch is off and the line current is zero. When it is busy, the
switch is on and the current flows through the line. The current is related to the E lead
current of the peer end exchange. Normally it ranges from 5 mA to 50 mA.

E lead: When it is idle, the interface voltage is near –48 V. Its current is related to the
leakage current of M lead in the peer end exchange. When the E line is occupied, the
interface voltage is nearly zero. Its current is related to the impedance of M lead in the
peer end exchange.

I. E&M signaling process

1) When an exchange subscriber initializes an E&M trunk outgoing call, switch K1 is


off and the current flows through the M lead. After the current detection circuit of

3-10
Technical Manual
HONET Integrated Services Access Network Chapter 3 Service Implementation

the E&M interface equipment detects the current (normally ranges from 6mA to
25mA), it takes the circuit as occupied.
2) The exchange transmits the telephone number (in MFC or DTMF mode) in line a1
and b1.
3) If the telephone number is correctly transmitted, the peer end exchange returns
the acknowledgment signal to the E&M interface equipment, which will then close
switch K2. The E lead of the exchange will detect the current and think that the call
control has been successfully set up. Then it enters conversation status.
4) As indicated in Figure 3–12, the exchange and the interconnected equipment are
symmetrical. The handling for incoming call is similar to that for outgoing call:
Switch K2 of the interconnected equipment is closed to occupy the exchange. The
exchange receives the telephone number from a2b2 line (in MFC or DTMF mode).
Switch K1 of the exchange is closed to acknowledge the interconnected
equipment. Then, it enters conversation status.
5) After the conversation is over, the side who hangs up turns off the switch. The
other side cannot detect the current and will think that it receives the release signal,
then, it performs release operation.

II. Main indices of ATI board

The HONET provides 2/4-wire E&M interfaces through its ATI board. The ATI board is
slot-compatible with subscriber boards. The board makes use of the transmission
system of access network to transfer the remote analog trunk services. It transmits
signaling and voice channels transparently. The ATI boards at both ends transmit line
signaling through a timeslot of voice channel using private protocol.

Each ATI board has six channels. Each channel supports the 2/4-wire E&M interface
working in 1E1M mode (Bell type V). The main technical indexes are as follows.
z The impedance of the port: 600Ω
z Encoding: A law, conforms to ITU-T Recommendation G.711A.
z Audio indexes: conforms to ITU-T Recommendation G.712.
z Adjustment of receiving/transmitting gains: receiving, –20 dB - +1.5 dB,
transmitting, –7 dB - +14 dB and 0.5 dBr per step
z E lead or M lead current: 6mA - 40 mA
z ATI end-to-end transfer delay: < 10 ms
ATI board is mostly used for analog inter-office trunk. See Figure 3–14.

3.5.4 2 Mbit/s Digital Leased Line Service

The HONET provides E1 (2048 kbit/s) ports and FE1 (N×64 kbit/s) ports through the
DT16, DEHA and CESH boards to implement 2 Mbit/s digital leased line service.

I. 2 Mbit/s digital leased line interconnected with DDN node

The 2 Mbit/s digital leased line service can be used as the SNI for interconnection with
the DDN Node, as shown in Figure 3–15. Inside the HONET system, services
accessed from all narrowband data interfaces at the UA5000 side are connected to the
same 2 Mbit/s leased line interface through SPC, and then are transmitted to the DDN
transparently through the DDN Node.

3–16.In this case, this interface is mainly interconnected with the DDN subscriber
equipment, including E1 port router, subscriber DDN Node and so on.

3.5.5 N×64 kbit/s Leased Line Service

At the UA5000 side, the HONET provides FE1 and V.35 interfaces through the
H302HSL board to accomplish N×64 kbit/s (N=1-31) leased line service. Generally, the
V.35 interface is used to connect with subscriber equipment such as router, and the
FE1 port provides bearing channels to transmit the V.35 interface service to the peer
end.

Because the H302HSL board can provide both V.35 interfaces and FE1 ports, there are
two ways to implement the N×64 kbit/s leased line service: create an SPC by occupying
subscriber frame, or by occupying FE1 port.

As shown in Figure 3–17, the subscriber frame is occupied to create an SPC. The
services are transmitted through the E1 line of the subscriber frame, crossed at the
MD5500 side, and connected to peer end V.35 interface or DDN Node. Because the
N×64 kbit/s service needs to occupy TDM resources of the subscriber frame, it may
make the voice service resources of this frame insufficient. Therefore, this method is
recommended only when the value of N is rather small.

3-13
Technical Manual
HONET Integrated Services Access Network Chapter 3 Service Implementation

As shown in Figure 3–18, the FE1 port is occupied to create an SPC. The services are
transmitted through the FE1 line of the subscriber frame, crossed within the board, and
connected to peer end V.35 interface or DDN Node. In this case, the N×64 kbit/s
service does not need to occupy the TDM resources of subscriber frame. But the FE1
needs to occupy transmission resources additionally. Therefore, this method is
recommended when the value of N is large.

3.5.6 SHDSL Leased Line Service

Single-Pair High Rate Digital Subscriber Loop (SHDSL) is a new kind of symmetrical
digital subscriber line technology developed on the basis of the high-speed digital
subscriber line (HDSL), SDSL and ISDN. It is defined by the ITU-T G.SHDSL
Recommendation G.991.2. The inherent technical advantages of the SHDSL
technology, such as high symmetric rate, strong anti-interference ability and longer
transmission distance, makes it play an important role among the three kinds of widely
used DSL technologies, ADSL, VDSL and SHDSL.

SHDSL can provide a maximum of 2 Mbit/s symmetric rate, with transmission distance
of 3-6 km, which is farther than that of the ADSL. It can take the place of E1/T1 line and
be widely used for high-speed data service access with symmetric upstream and
downstream data. This kind of feature determines that it can be used for the service
that needs consistent bi-directional rates, such as video conferencing and voice
binding.

The HONET provides E1 and SHDSL ports through SDL and H303HSL boards at the
UA5000 side. The E1 port is used to provide bearing channel to transmit the service
accessed from the SHDSL port to the peer end. The SHDSL port is used to provide E1
and V.35 interfaces through the customer premises equipment (CPE) for connection
with the subscriber equipment such as router, so as to accomplish the 2048 kbit/s and
N×64 kbit/s (N=3-31) leased line services.

See Figure 3–19.

that provided by the CPE support not only the N×64 kbit/s FE1 access, but also the

Technical Manual
HONET Integrated Services Access Network Chapter 3 Service Implementation

2048 kbit/s E1 transparent transmission. When the CPE provides the FE1 port, the SDL
board is the same as the H302HSL board. There are two ways to implement SHDSL
leased line service, that is, occupying subscriber frame or occupying FE1 port to create
SPC. In the case of providing the E1 transparent transmission function, the SDL board
can only transmit service data upstream through its own E1 port.

3.5.7 MTA Leased Line Service

The HONET provides 2B1Q interfaces through the DSL board at the UA5000 side, and
provides V.35 and V.24 interfaces through remote MTA to realize 128 kbit/s, 64 kbit/s
and sub-rate services. As shown in Figure 3–20, the V.35 and V.24 interfaces are
provided by extending the 2B1Q interface to connect with the subscriber equipment,
such as router and PC.

MTA is a data service unit (DSU) located at the user end. It is connected with the office
end equipment (such as DSL and MLC) through 2B1Q interface. The access distance
is 4-5 km (with wire diameter of 0.4mm). It provides the subscriber with one V.24/V.35
compatible interface and two V.24 interfaces. The data rates include 64 kbit/s and
128 kbit/s (synchronous interface) and 2.4 kbit/s, 4.8 kbit/s, 9.6 kbit/s and 19.2 kbit/s
(synchronous or asynchronous interface).

3.5.8 Circuit Emulation Service

Circuit emulation is the technology to emulate the traditional circuit switching and circuit
transmission through ATM network.

According to the ITU-T Recommendation I.363.1, the E1 circuit emulation interface can
implement unstructured data transfer (UDT) and structured data transfer (SDT).

The UDT can implement transparent transmission of E1 data. When UDT adaptation is
performed, the AAL1 adaptation module does not distinguish the frame structure in the
E1 line, but performs segmentation and reassembly (SAR) to the
2 Mbit/s code stream to accomplish the adaptation. The UDT circuit emulation
technology can utilize the clock recovery technology to recover TDM clock through the

3-15
Technical Manual
HONET Integrated Services Access Network Chapter 3 Service Implementation

ATM network. It can implement two kinds of clock recovery technologies: adaptive
clock method (ACM) and synchronous residual time stamp (SRTS).

The principle of ACM is to adjust the narrowband clock according to the variation of the
data-receiving buffer. In the flow direction that cells are reassembled to recover
narrowband data, there exits a buffer. If the data are increasing in the buffer, the
sending clock frequency will be increased. Otherwise, the sending clock frequency will
be lowered, thus realizing the TDM clock recovery.

The ACM clock recovery mode has no special requirements for the AAL1 SAR
equipment that implements cell segmentation. However, when the ACM is adopted to
adjust clock, the output clock frequency is directly related to the adaptive adjustment
step length. Therefore, the recovery clock traces the variation of the source end clock
at a lower speed, and the clock float is rather large.

The principle of SRTS is to compare the accessed TDM clock with the ATM network
clock at the clock source, figure out the difference between these two clocks, that is,
residual time stamp, and then write this residual time stamp value into a certain
specified bit of the cell to transmit it over the ATM network. At the destination, the
narrowband clock of the source end is figured out based on the ATM network clock and
residual time stamp value so as to accomplish the clock recovery.

SRTS can calculate the precise value of the narrowband clock. The clock precision,
tracing speed and float specifications are better than those of ACM. However, since the
ATM network clock is used as the reference when the clock is recovered by SRTS, the
ATM network must be synchronous or plesiochronous all over the network. In addition,
the AAL1 SAR equipment at the clock source end and destination end are required to
be able to realize SRTS technology to generate time stamp value at the source end and
recover the clock according to the time stamp value at the destination end.

The SDT can implement transparent transmission of narrowband N×64 kbit/s data
channel over ATM network. When the SDT adaptation is performed, the AAL1
adaptation module needs to distinguish the E1 frame structure and implement
adaptation for N time slots according to configuration. By SDT technology, multiple
logical channels can be realized in the E1 link. Since SDT adaptation cannot
accomplish clock recovery, the ATM network must be synchronized with the TDM
network or the whole network when the SDT adaptation is performed.

The V.35 interface circuit emulation board implements the AAL1 adaptation of V.35
data. The access rate of V.35 interface is N×64 kbit/s (N=1-31), which is suitable for the
access of the V.35 data equipment at the rate lower than 2 Mbit/s. The V.35 interface
can work in the DCE and DTE modes. However, the V.35 circuit emulation cannot
realize clock recovery, that is, it cannot transmit TDM clock over ATM network
transparently.

I. Transparent transmission of narrowband services

The HONET can perform AAL1 adaptation of the E1 and V.35 interfaces at both the
OLT side and ONU side, so as to realize transparent transmission of the traditional
TDM services (such as DDN) over ATM network. As shown in Figure 3–21, it can be
interconnected with the equipment such as PBX, DDN equipment and video
conferencing equipment.

II. DDN service convergence

By circuit emulation technology, the HONET can realize not only interworking of
external TDM equipment through ATM network, but also interworking of internal TDM
system with ATM network. In this case, the narrowband data services accessed by the
HONET are not connected with the DDN through E1 port, but directly transferred to
ATM network through the circuit emulation interface at the MD5500 side, and then
transmitted to the backbone network through ATM port. See Figure 3–22. The network
role of the HONET under this condition is the sum of a medium and large sized DDN
convergence node and multiple DDN access nodes covering some areas.

traditional leased line interconnection services are unable to meet all the requirements.
The LAN interconnection services thus become much more desirable. The HONET
realizes the LAN interconnection by adopting the ATM networking, and it features
compact equipment, broad bandwidth and perfect QoS as a high speed and low cost
solution.

The HONET can provide 10Base-T Ethernet ports at the UA5000 side to connect with
LAN. By RFC 1483B mapping, the ATM PVC is used to realize the point-to-point layer-2
transparent connection between two LANs inside the system.

See Figure 3–23.

Since the HONET cannot realize the point-to-multipoint connection by internal PVC
crossing function, if multiple LANs are to be interconnected, it is required to create a
PVC from each LAN to the system ATM optical port, and then accomplish
interconnection by means of Layer-2 switching function of the upper layer ATM switch.
See Figure 3–24.

3.6 Multicast Service

The multicast service is used in the field of stream media, tele-education, video
conference, video multicast, network game, data duplication, and so on. The multicast
technology is designed with high effective point-to-multipoint data transmission

capability, which is able to save the network bandwidth and reduce the network loads
excellently.

The HONET is able to support the IGMP Snooping through the EPU board. Therefore,
it can form the networks in combination with the multicast router to provide broadband
users with multicast services. IGMP Snooping can capture the IGMP packets
transmitted between the user and the multicast router, set up and maintain Layer 2
multicast table for multicast duplication.

Figure 3–25 shows the networking application of IGMP Snooping multicast service.

The multicast control equipment, such as a multicast router or Huawei ISN8850


implements the IGMP protocol. The HONET realizes transparent transmission and
detection of user Layer-2 packets as well as the duplication function of the multicast
data packets.

The major features of the multicast service supported by the HONET are as follows.
z The system supports up to 64 multicast groups, and each user can add 8 multicast
groups simultaneously.
z Only one PVC needs to be established, which can transmit both unicast data and
multicast data.
z The system supports the multicast services in four downstream networking modes:
IMA E1/ATM E3/ATM 155 Mbit/s/VP Ring.
z A minimum of 256 kbit/s downstream multicast service bandwidth can be provided
by each multicast group. At the same time, every multicast user is guaranteed to
share the bandwidth on average.

3-19
Technical Manual
HONET Integrated Services Access Network Chapter 3 Service Implementation

3.7 VP Ring

The MD5500 and the UA5000 support Virtual Path (VP) Ring networking technology.
VP Ring is a broadband ring network technology that combines the advantages of SDH
ring network protection and ATM statistics multiplexing. It can allocate bandwidth based
on actual needs and support multiple kinds of service and QoS types. Meanwhile, it has
the protection switching function of the SDH/SONET equipment, making the network
more reliable.

VP Ring adopts the point-to-point protection switching mechanism that reserves


bandwidth and routes to realize the ATM-layer service protection. Reserving bandwidth
and routes means that when the working entity is established, the system has to
provide bandwidth and routes for the protection entity at the same time, which should
meet the requirements of working entity for cell transmission performance. The
point-to-point switching is a basic protection mechanism of ATM network, and it takes
one point-to-point VP or VPG in the network as the independent protection entity.

The UA5000 accesses POTS, ISDN, N×64 kbit/s, xDSL, and LAN services. It
transforms them into four basic kinds of ATM service types (CBR, rt-VBR, nrt-VBR,
UBR) after ATM service adaptation, and performs traffic shaping and congestion
control to these services. The service data enters the VP Ring at last. Each node of the
VP Ring supports VP scheduling, which can implement bandwidth sharing of all kinds
of services (including services transparently transmitted from other nodes, and the
service of local node), and guarantee the priority of all kinds of services. Finally, all
services of the VP Ring are converged in the MD5500, processed by the ATM service
processing module of the AIC board, and then distributed to different service ports.

Besides the bandwidth sharing function, VP Ring also supports fast protection
switching function. It can detect link faults quickly by the function of physical layer alarm
detection and that of detection, insertion and capture of ATM layer OAM cell. Once any
fault is detected, VP Ring can set the status of bridging unit/selector to accomplish fast
switching function of the VP.

3.7.1 Protection Switching Type

In the HONET, the VP Ring adopts 1+1 protection switching mode, which falls into two
types: unidirectional and bi-directional modes. The source node sends the service to
the working entity and protection entity simultaneously, and the sink node can select to
receive the service from either the working entity or protection entity. See Figure 3–26.

Working entity

After switching

Figure 3–26 Principle of 1+1 protection switching

The 1+1 unidirectional protection means that the selective receiving of services in
upstream and downstream directions is independent. The upstream selector should
receive services from the working entity, while the downstream selector can receive
services from either the working entity or protection entity.

The 1+1 bi-directional protection means that the selective receiving of services in
upstream and downstream directions is related. The upstream and downstream
selectors should receive services from the same entity.

Compared with the bi-directional protection mode, the unidirectional protection mode is
rather easy to accomplish, not requiring support of any protocols. The selector of local
node can determine from which entity it should receive the service based on working
conditions of the entities, having a rapid switching speed. However, since the service
may be transmitted over different routes in the upstream and downstream directions,
the service quality in both directions may be different. The bi-directional protection
switching mode needs protocol support, and the switching speed is slower; but the
service quality in both directions is almost the same.

3.7.2 Protection Switching Detection and Trigger Mechanism

Protection switching can be triggered not only by detection mechanism automatically,


but also by the protection switching command delivered by the NMS or Console.

3-21
Technical Manual
HONET Integrated Services Access Network Chapter 3 Service Implementation

To achieve automatic triggering, each node should be able to detect Signal Fail (SF)
and Signal Degrade (SD) alarms. The SF alarms include Loss of Signal (LOS) and
Loss of Frame (LOF) of the physical layer and alarm indication signal (AIS) of the ATM
layer. The SD alarm mainly indicates that the cell loss ratio exceeds the threshold.
When the sink node detects an SF or SD alarm, the protection switching is triggered.
When the intermediate node detects an SF alarm, it inserts an AIS cell to the
downstream service data, and then the protection switching is triggered as soon as the
sink node receives this AIS cell.

3.7.3 Protection Switching Protocol

In realization of 1+1 bi-directional switching, the source node needs to negotiate with
sink node about negotiate switching process on the basis of protection switching
protocol, so as to keep the switching at both ends consistent. The protection switching
protocol is transmitted by the Automatic Protection Switching (APS) cell, which is a
special kind of OAM cell and is transmitted by special APS channel.

Figure 3–27 shows the principle of protection switching algorithm. Whether the
switching occurs depends on the local switching request and remote K1 byte.

4.1 System Networking Options

The HONET offers carriers the opportunity to build a broadband and narrowband
integrated network over a single platform supporting various networking topologies.
The MD5500 and the UA5000 of the HONET system can form ring, star, tree or chain
network through transmission system.

4.1.1 SDH Networking

The HONET adopts the OptiX 155/622H, an STM-1/STM-4 SDH optical transmission
device developed by Huawei, as its built-in optical transmission equipment. Besides,
the UA5000 can also use the embedded optical transmission board ATU to implement
SDH transmission.

The chain and ring are two basic topologies of SDH network. There are many other
complicated network topologies derived from these two topologies as per different
requirements.

Figure 4–1 shows the ring topology of SDH optical transmission system. The MD5500
and UA5000 are connected through SDH transmission system to carry both
narrowband and broadband services. The narrowband services are sent to the
MD5500 over E1 links. The broadband services are transmitted to the MD5500 through
spare SDH resources over IMA E1 or ATM E3 links.

massively deployed worldwide. The following are some typical networking application
examples.

4.2.1 Integrated Narrowband and Broadband Access

Thanks to the characteristics of wide coverage area, smooth upgrade from narrowband
to broadband, and the convenient and rapid deployment, the HONET has now found
wide applications in many regions and countries.

I. Application in City A

The HONET application in city A provides POTS, ISDN BRA, ISDN PRA services and
broadband access services including Ethernet, ADSL and VDSL. These services share
the same subscriber frames and are transmitted over the same transmission platform.
The HONET supports the access of full range narrowband and broadband integrated
services.

Technical Manual
HONET Integrated Services Access Network Chapter 4 Networking Applications

In this application mode, broadband access network of City A uses the OptiX 155/622H
as its transmission platform. Narrowband services and broadband services are
provided by the UA5000, and then are transmitted by the OptiX 155/622H.

The VDSL service occupies one FE port for transmission. Subscribers can access the
Internet directly through the 10Base-T Ethernet port. Subscribers can also connect the
broadband network through the telephone line in use taking the advantage of ADSL
technology. In this case, subscribers can make phone calls, activate VOD service,
access the Internet, and realize telecommuting simultaneously through one telephone
line.

In broadband upstream direction, the MD5500 implements layer-2 convergence and


transparent transmission of IP services, which are transmitted to IP network through
the BRAS.

The networking in city A is a typical application of the HONET, aiming at providing


various voice, data and video services. In this networking mode, the broadband
services, such as ADSL, have large coverage area, and is easy to deploy rapidly. And
they are suitable for the places where there are large numbers of subscribers.

z It supports real time alarm. If a fault occurs at a node, the color of corresponding
topology node will change. The iManager N2000 also provides audible and
visual alarm functions. It can be connected with an external alarm box. and
supports multiple alarm report modes.
z It handles the fault information by multiple means. It can redefine alarm levels
and save alarm information to ensure the system efficiency and stability.
z It supports alarm filtering. You can customize the filtering rule to output the most
concerned alarms, and query the current and history alarms. The query results
can be output as a report.
z It supports alarm filtration profile. The profile can be customized on user level.
The alarms a user can query may vary from user to user, which facilitates
dividing user authority.
z It supports the alarm topology positioning. When an alarm occurs, you can jump
to the alarm interface from current interface, which lays the foundation for quick
troubleshooting.
z It supports alarm relationship analysis. You can define rules to mask some
unimportant alarms to reduce the number of alarms, which helps you locate a
fault rapidly.

IV. Supports flexible performance management

The iManager N2000 monitors the equipment performance data in real time. This
enables you to keep track of the current running state and performance state of the
network. It can also predict the network running state, which helps you make
reasonable plans for the management and operation of the network.
z You can view the equipment performance at any time you want, such as port
traffic, number of currently online users, and user type. The iManager N2000 can
collect and display the performance data in real time.
z When viewing the performance data, you can determine whether to stop or
resume refreshing real-time performance data and to adjust the refreshing
frequency.
z You can collect performance data on a timed basis. By creating tasks, you can
collect multiple performance parameters of multiple objects of the device
regularly or at the specified time. In addition, you can customize a formula to
work out the performance index you are concerned about.
z You can set the performance alarm threshold. The iManager N2000 provides
performance alarm prediction function.
z You can save the real time performance data view as file in various formats for
future use.

V. Supports strong security management

The iManager N2000 can perform network management based on different user
authorities and different domains. It can divide user’s authorities based on different
operations and applications, and can manage equipment based on different
geographical positions or actual services.

The system security management provides reasonable authority management


functions, including user management and user group management. To facilitate the
fault recovery and management, it can define the management category for network
elements and executable operations, and create operation logs for future check.

An administrator can terminate the dangerous operations of other users in time.

The user password is encrypted before being saved and transmitted.

The iManager N2000 provides the address access control function. Only the user
whose IP address is included in the Access Control List (ACL) can get access to the
NMS Server.

To enhance the user’s access reliability, the iManager N2000 provides excellent
authentication measures, including user login authentication and user operation
authentication.

5.3 NMS Networking Modes

The HONET supports two NMS networking modes: inband networking and outband
networking.

5.3.1 Inband Networking

In inband networking mode, the NMS manages equipment through the service
channel provided by the managed equipment.

Here, the maintenance information is transmitted to the NMS through the service
channel. The inband networking mode is flexible and requires no peripheral devices.
However, because the maintenance information will occupy the service channel when
being transmitted, the maintained equipment cannot be maintained if it is faulty.

There are multiple inband networking applications, in which the OLT of the HONET is
in different positions of the whole network. The following introduces two commonly
used applications.

I. Outband + ATM inband NMS

The NMC connects with the ATM switch through a LAN, which connects with the
MD5500 or the UA5000 through PVC connections. Here, the NMS networking is
achieved by ATM inband channel, so that the NMC can manage the MD5500, the
UA5000 and the ATM switch in a unified manner.

See Figure 5–1.

II. ATM inband NMS

When the NMS networking adopts ATM inband mode, the MD5500 and the UA5000,
the MD5500 and ATM switch, ATM switches, NMS Server and ATM switch are
networked through PVC connections. Where, the NMS Server is connected with the
ATM switch through 155 Mbit/s optical port. Inband communication mode is used
between the NMC and all managed equipment.

See Figure 5–2.

Figure 5–2 NMS networking diagram (ATM inband)

5.3.2 Outband Networking

Outband networking means that the NMS is connected with the managed equipment
through non-service channel to manage the equipment. Compared with the inband
networking, the outband networking can
z Provide more reliable equipment management channels.
z Locate the network equipment information in time.
z Monitor the managed equipment in real time whenever a fault occurs.
Outband networking mode requires additional networking equipment to provide the
maintenance channel independent of the service channel.

The outband NMS interfaces of the HONET includes serial port and Ethernet port.
The HONET supports multiple outband networking modes. Such network resources
as DDN, ISDN dedicated line, E1 line, Router and Ethernet can be used for outband
networking. See Figure 5–3.

z Signal edge rise/fall duration
The rise duration refers to the time needed for signal voltage to rise from the base
voltage (normally 0) to steady-state value + Vout or –Vout when a signal is transient.
The fall time refers to the time needed for signal voltage to fall from + Vout /- Vout to
base voltage when signal is transient. In general, the value is 10% - 90% of Vout. The
rise and fall duration should meet the following requirements:

3.0 ns ≤ trise/tfall ≤ 5.0 ns. The maximum difference between trise and tfall should be less
than 0.5 ns.
z Wave shape overshoot
Wave shape overshoot reflects the relationship between the steady-state value Vout
and signal overshoot peak value Vover (maximum change in relative to the
steady-state value in jumping). The ratio of Vover to Vout meets the following technical
requirement:

Vover is less than 5% of Vout and attenuates to less than 1% within 8 ns.
z Duty ratio distortion
Duty ratio distortion refers to the change of pulse width in the transmission process
due to the distortion and time delay. It changes the ratio of the pulse continuity
duration to the non-pulse continuity duration. The duty ratio distortion of the Fast
Ethernet port should be less than ±0.5 ns.
z Jitter
The jitter of the Fast Ethernet port output should be less than 0.5 ns.

6.4.8 V.35 Interface

I. Mechanical characteristics

The mechanical characteristics of the V.35 interface are defined by the ISO2593, and
the 34-core connector is used for the V.35 interface.

II. Electric characteristics

The ITU-T Recommendation V.35 Appendix 2 defines the electrical characteristics of


the V.35 interface clock and data signal as a balanced double current interface circuit.
The V.35 interface control signal adopts the unbalanced double current interface
circuit defined by the ITU-T Recommendation V.28.

As for the balanced double current interface, the interface line adopts balanced
twisted multi-pair cable, with the feature impedance as 80 - 120Ω, signal source
impedance in the range of 50 - 150Ω and the load impedance as 100±10Ω. The
normal working voltage between two terminals of each balanced line is 0.55V±20%.
When the voltage of terminal A to B is positive (A>B), it is defined as binary data “0”.
When it is negative (A<B), it is defined as “1”. The ascending time of any status
change between 10% & 90% should be less than 1% or 40ns of the signal code period
and should take the smaller one as the limit. It should not be damaged when the
generator or the load gets inadvertently connected with the ground electric potential
or has short circuit or crosses with other interface circuits.

For the unbalanced double current interface, the open circuit voltage of the signal
source should be ≤25V and the load impedance should be in the range of 3000 -
7000Ω. The load capacitance should be ≤2500pF. For the data circuit, when the
voltage of the interface point is less than -3V, it is defined as binary “1” and as “0”
when it is more than +3V. For control and timing interface circuit, it is defined as “ON”
when the voltage of the interface point is more than +3V and “OFF” when it is lower
than -3V. The point between +3V and -3V is defined as leap change point. The time
for the signal to pass the leap change point should not exceed 1ms or 3% of the bit
code period, and it will take the smaller one as the limiting factor.

III. Functional characteristics

The functional characteristics of the V.35 interface belong to one subset of the ITU-T
Recommendation V.24, including such functions as ground, control, clock and data.
Table 6–49 shows the definitions of these functions.

Technical Manual
HONET Integrated Services Access Network Chapter 6 Technical Specifications

z The “transmit” and “receive” in the circuit name defined by the DCE-DTE
interface are based on the DTE. For example, the 103 circuit is the circuit through
which the DTE sends data to the DCE. At the DCE side, this circuit is still called
data sending circuit, from which the DCE receives data signals. Meanwhile, the
104 circuit is the circuit through which the DCE sends data to the DTE.
z The control circuit is set to meet the requirements of the communication
procedure and test procedure. DCD is used to monitor the working state of the
communication line and the DCE. DSR is used for the DCE to notify the DTE
whether it is in the working state (Start). DTR is used to notify the DCE through
DTE whether it is in the working state (Start). RTS and CTS are used for the
process control of starting or terminating the data transmission between the DTE
and the DCE. If RTS is “ON”, it means the DTE requires sending data. When
RTS is “ON” and the DCE agrees with the DTE’s request, CTS can be set as
“ON” (positive answer), making DCE ready for receiving the data from the DTE.
z In the V.35 synchronous communication interface, the DCE and/or the DTE
are/is required to provide the clock signal. This signal should be synchronous
with the data circuit to ensure accurate identification and receiving of the data.
Figure 6–4 shows the time sequence of the clock and data in the interface line.

6.4.10 U interface

I. Definition

U interface is the interface of Network Termination 1 (NT1) and Line Termination (LT)
in ISDN reference model. In terms of code pattern, since subscriber line features are
different in different countries, their line code patterns also vary. For instance, North
America and China use 2B1Q code, Japan and Italy adopt AMI, while UK adopts
3B2T code. ITU-T has no recommended uniform transmission mode and line code
pattern for 2B+D U interface. The following description is only applicable to 2B1Q
code pattern.

II. Basic features of U interface

z Line code
Line code is 2B1Q (2-bit binary code is expressed with 1-bit quaternary code). This is
a 4-level non-redundancy code.
z Line baud rate: 80k baud
z Clock tolerance
The tolerance of free-run NT1 clock is ±100 ppm.

The tolerance of LT clock is ±5 ppm.


z Frame structure
A primary frame should be the 120 quaternary signals transmitted with nominal 1.5ms
interval. A primary frame includes frame bit, 2B+D data bit and Connection Line (CL)
channel bit. 8 primary frames (12ms in total) form a multi-frame.

III. Specifications and program of U interface

The following is the bit allocation and function of multi-frame based on G.961
specification.
z Monitoring function of CRC bit error
Bits M5 and M6 of the 3rd frame and 8th frame of each multi-frame comprise the CRC,
which are inserted into bit flow through transmitter. In receiver, the CRC bit calculated
from the same bits should be compared with the received CRC. If they are different, it
indicates that there is at least one bit error in the multi-frame.
z EOC frame function
In each multi-frame, the Embedded Operational Channel in DS1 Rate Interface (EOC)
consists of 24 bits. It implements the communication between the network and NT1.
The following basic functions are required for the EOC:

6-47
Technical Manual
HONET Integrated Services Access Network Chapter 6 Technical Specifications

z Operation of 2B+D loopback: This function commands NT1 to loop back the user
data bit stream toward the network.
z Operation of B1 (or B2) channel loopback: This function requires NT1 to setup
single B channel loopback toward the network. Single B channel loopback can
provide maintenance on this channel and the subscriber services are not totally
blocked.
z Recovery to normal: This message is used to release all the uncompleted EOC
controlled operation, and reset the EOC message processor to its initial state.
z Unfollowable acknowledgement: This message acknowledges that NT1 has
received an EOC message, but it is not in the menu of NT1.
z Request degraded CRC notification: This message requests to send degraded
CRC toward the network.
z Degraded CRC notification: This message informs NT1 that the intentionally
degraded CRC will be sent from the network till there is a “Recovery to normal”
message.
z Hold state

IV. Activation and deactivation of U interface

1) Activation
ITU-T Recommendation G.961 defines the signals generated by transceiver during
startup. These signals are used in two start types: cold start and hot start. When NT1
and LT are in resetting state, the activation is allowed either from subscriber
equipment or from the network. The initiator sends single tone in compliance with
ITU-T Recommendation G.961 and starts activation process. In cold start mode, LT
and NT1 should complete the synchronization within 15 seconds, with 5 seconds for
NT1 and 10 seconds for LT; while in hot start mode, they should complete the
synchronization within 300ms.
2) Deactivation
When one of the following happens, the transceiver is allowed to enter the reset state.
z The system cannot be started within 15 seconds (hot or cold start)
z The received signal is lost for more than 480ms.
z Synchronization is lost for more than 480ms.
z Electrical features of U interface
z Output pulse
The nominal peak value of output pulse is 2.5 V. The pulse shape should be as shown
in Figure 6–12 and four-quaternary-characters pulse sample should be obtained from
the nominal sample as shown in Figure 6–12 multiplied by 2.5 V, 0.83 V, -0.83 V or
-2.5 V. The nominal average power is 13.5dBm when the signals are composed of
synchronous framing bits which are of same probability at other position.

that the area between ftr1+∆fT and ftr2-∆fT is rejection band. ∆fT, independent of
transmitting frequency, is 175 kHz. The transmitting signal PSD inside the transition
band is decreased from -80 dBm/Hz to PSDmax or increased from PSDmax to
-80 dBm/Hz in a linear manner. The transmitting signal PSD inside the rejection band
cannot be larger than PSDmax. The total power Pmax of the transmitting signal of each

Appendix A Introduction to xDSL Technology

A.1 Overview

DSL in the term xDSL refers to the digital subscriber line. All xDSL technologies use
existing twisted pair telephone lines to deliver high-bandwidth data service. xDSL
technologies vary in terms of transmission rate, distance and delay due to the
different modulation and coding.

xDSL implements channel multiplexing by dividing spectrums of the copper wire.


Voice and data services are split by filters. Network topology is composed of the
Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM) at the office end and the
Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) at the user end.

A.1.1 Introduction to xDSL Technologies

I. HDSL

High-bit-rate DSL (HDSL) is a well developed xDSL technology. It gains wide


application. It transmits data services over 1–2 twisted pairs at the rate of T1 full
duplex (1.544 Mbit/s) or E1 (2.048 Mbit/s).
z Rate range: Nx64 kbit/s (N=1-32). It reaches 2.048 Mbit/s at the maximum.
z Transmission distance: 5km. It reaches 12km by using repeaters.
z Application: HDSL is a replacement of the T1/E1 technology. It is ideal for
applications of distant learning, video conferencing, dedicated network etc.
Compared with conventional T1/E1 technology, HDSL is more cost effective.
T1/E1 transmission requires a repeater every 0.9–1.8 km, while HDSL ensures
reliable transmission within 3.6 km without a repeater.

II. HDLS2

HDSL2 is newly developed DSL technology, transmitting T1/E1 rate over a single
twisted pair. It uses the same modulation and signaling processing technology as
HDSL.

III. SDSL

Single-line DSL (SDSL) provides high-speed variable bit rate in upstream and
downstream.

A-1
Technical Manual
HONET Integrated Services Access Network Appendix A Introduction to xDSL Technology

z Rate range: 160 kbit/s–2.36 Mbit/s. SDSL delivers T1/E1 rate over a single
twisted pair, thus saving one copper wire compared with HDSL technology. It
accommodates an optimized rate based on the traffic volume.
z Transmission distance: The maximum distance is above 3km over 0.4mm
twisted pairs.

IV. ISDN Loop (IDSL)

IDSL transmits 128 kbit/s over twisted pairs by using ISDN terminal adapter at the
subscriber end and ISDN-compatible interface card in the other end.

V. SHDSL

Single-pair High-bit-rate DSL (SHDSL) is developed from the SDSL, HDSL, HDSL2
technologies.
z Rate range: 192 kbit/s–2300 kbit/s by using two line pairs. The rate is adjustable
according to the actual line condition at 8k steps. The transmit rate is in the range
of 384 kibt/s–4624 kbit/s by using 4 line pairs, adjustable at 16k steps.
z Transmission distance: 3–6 km
z Application:
SHDSL, based on TDM, allows the maximum transmission distance of E1, T1 and
V.35, thus enabling long-haul access of FR and CES.

SHDSL, based on ATM, delivers high-bandwidth symmetric rate, and is


supplementary to ADSL.

VI. ADSL

ADSL speed ranges from 32kbit/s to 8.192Mbit/s in downstream, and 32kbit/s to


1.088Mbit/s in upstream. It provides voice service and data service over the same
twisted-pair telephone line.
z Data service and voice service are delivered over the same twisted pairs.
z Upstream and downstream rate is asymmetric.
z Data service and voice service are delivered simultaneously.

VII. RADSL

Rate Adaptive DSL (RADSL) allows transmit rate to be accommodated based on the
actual requirements.
z Data service and voice service are delivered over the same twisted pairs.
z Synchronous and asynchronous transmission modes are supported.
z Rate adaptive: the downstream speed ranges from 640 kbit/s to 12 Mbit/s, and
upstream speed ranges from 128 kbit/s to 1 Mbit/s.
z Data service and voice service are delivered simultaneously.

A-2
Technical Manual
HONET Integrated Services Access Network Appendix A Introduction to xDSL Technology

VIII. VDSL

Very-high-data-rate Digital Subscriber Line (VDSL) technology supports both


symmetric and asymmetric speed ranges. It provides all-round multimedia services
including voice services, video services and digital services. Rate range: The
multimedia services are delivered over the same twisted pairs, with transmission rate
adaptive. Both symmetric and asymmetric rate ranges are supported. Maximum
transmission distance: 1.5 km

Application: Internet access and VOD etc.

In the following section, the ADSL, SHDSL and VDSL technologies will be detailed.

A.2 ADSL

I. Overview

ADSL makes use of the available bandwidth of a telephone line to deliver high-speed
data service. The downstream band is between 26 kHz and 138 kHz, while upstream
band between 138 kHz and 1.104 MHz. Correspondingly, the upstream rate reaches
640 kbit/s, and downstream rate reaches 8 Mbit/s. ADSL is capable of rate
adaptability, in that an optimum rate can be achieved depending on the transmission
distance and noise. The ADSL transfer rate is inversely proportional to the
transmission distance.

Figure A–1 illustrates ADSL reference model. TSM in the Figure is the interface
between ATU-R and SM, V is the logical interface between ATU-C and a digital
network element (NE). U-C is the loopback interface at the office end, and U-R is the
interface at the remote terminal end.

II. Standards compliance

z ITU-T G.992.1 (G.DMT)


As defined in the ITU-T G.992.1, the downstream rate is up to 8 Mbit/s, and the
upstream rate to 768 kbit/s. Filters are required at the subscriber end.
z ITU-T G.992.2 (G.Lite)
As defined in the ITU-T G.992.2, the downstream rate is up to 1.5 Mbit/s, and the
upstream rate to 512 kbit/s. No filter is required at the subscriber end.
z ANSI T1.413 Issue2
As defined in the ANSI T1.413 Issue2, the downstream rate is up to 8 Mbit/s, and the
upstream rate to 768 kbit/s. Filters are required at the subscriber end.
z ITU-T G.994.1
In consistent with ITU-T G.994.1, the ADSL technology can recognize automatically a
line standard and make adjustment accordingly.

III. Line coding

Three line codes are available for ADSL technology.


1) Carrier-less Amplitude and Phase (CAP)
Using the technology of Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM), the data are
modulated to a single carrier.
2) Discrete Multi-Tone (DMT)
The data are modulated to multiple carriers, with data on each carrier modulated
using QAM.
3) Discrete Wavelet Multi-Tone (DWMT)
DMT is a multicarrier system using wavelet transforms to create and demodulate
individual carriers.
z DMT modulation
DMT is the most widely used modulation technology. It is a multicarrier system using
discrete Fourier transforms to create and demodulate individual carriers.

DMT divides 1MHz frequency band into 256 subcarrier. Voiceband (VB) frequencies
are from 300Hz– 4kHz in the telephone line. Taken the discrete into consideration, the
frequencies from 0– 25kHz are reserved for the voice service. That is to say, the first
six subcarriers among the 256 subcarriers are used for voice services, and the other
250 for data services.

QAM is implemented in all of the 250 subcarriers for data services. The output
waveforms of each subcarrier are overlaid in the transmit end, and are restored to the
original waveform in the receiving end.

Technical Manual
HONET Integrated Services Access Network Appendix A Introduction to xDSL Technology

Among the 250 subcarriers for ADSL service, 0–31 subcarriers are assigned for
upstream data. Two schemes are available for assigning subcarriers for downstream
data. One of the schemes assigns all of the 255 subcarriers for downstream data. In
this case, the upstream band overlaps the downstream band. They are separated by
means of echo cancellation. The second scheme assigns subcarriers 32–255 for
downstream data. Echo cancellation is not needed in such case. 1–15 bits are carried
over each subcarrier. Depending on the line attenuation, delay and noise conditions,
the subcarriers not suitable for data transmission are terminated.
z The upstream and downstream frequencies

IV. ADSL initialization and rate adaptivity

z Establishing communication channel between DSLAM and ATU-R


Transceiver training: ADSL transceiver performs training in each subcarrier.

Analysis of subcarrier: the transceiver makes analysis of each channel baaed on the
received signals, including the attenuation, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), bit counts,
and then defines the transmission and processing parameters of each channel. After
the analysis, receiver at the local end exchanges the parameters set with the remote
transmitter to make sure the settings at both ends match.
z Power and rate adaptation
Power adaptation: Increase the power for subcarriers with relatively high attenuation
and low SNR margin, or decrease the power for subcarriers with high SNR with ±3dB
steps.

Bit swap: bit swap enables an ADSL system to change the number of bits assigned to
a subcarrier, or change the transmit energy of a subcarrier without interrupting data
flow.

A.3 ADSL2+

I. Overview

The full expression of ADSL2+ is the second generation full rate asymmetric digital
subscriber line. In 2003, the ITU-T issued the new Recommendation G.992.5, which is
also known as ADSL2+ recommendation. This recommendation, which is derived
from the first generation one, provides more functions, higher access rate, and
steadier performance for users.

II. New operation modes

There are three kinds of operating modes for ADSL.


z ADSL over POTS: ADSL annex A. In this mode, POTS and ADSL services are
transmitted over the same pair of twisted pairs.
z ADSL over ISDN: ADSL annex B. In this mode, ISDN and ADSL services are
transmitted over the same pair of twisted pairs.
z ADSL annex C: It is used under the TCM–ISDN crosstalk condition. This mode is
mainly applied in Japan.
The following new operating modes are added to the ADSL2+.
z Annex I: This digital operating mode is compatible with Annex A in respect of
spectrum. There is no POTS service transmitted on the line, and therefore, the
ADSL2+ upstream spectrum is in the range of 3 kHz to 138 kHz. The number of
sub-bands reaches 31, and the upstream bandwidth is over 1 Mbit/s.
z Annex J: This digital operating mode is compatible with Annex B in respect of
spectrum. There is no ISDN service transmitted on the line. In this mode, the
upstream frequency band ranges from 3 kHz to 276 kHz. A maximum of 64
upstream sub-bands are supported and the maximum upstream rate reaches
2.3 Mbit/s.

A-8
Technical Manual
HONET Integrated Services Access Network Appendix A Introduction to xDSL Technology

z Annex M: It extends upstream bandwidth of Annex A. The upstream sub-band


starts from 6, and ends with 32, 36, 40, 44, …, 63 based on different
requirements of bandwidth. At the same time, the total Tx power remains
unchanged. In this way, Annex M can provide the upstream rate close to Annex J.
There are two kinds of downstream frequency bands, overlap and nonoverlap,
which are the same as Annex B.
z Annex L: It extends the transmission distance.
ADSL supports two kinds of interfaces, STM interface (PCM interface) and ATM
interface (UTOPIA). Besides this, ADSL2+ also provides PTM (packet) interface,
which bears HDLC over ADSL in non-ATM transmission mode.

III. Higher transmission rate

Because ADSL2+ uses wider frequency (tone 32–511) and more sub-bands (512), it
supports the maximum downstream rate of 24 Mbit/s. Figure A–5 shows its frequency
spectrum. In ADSL2+ Annex J or Annex M, the upstream rate is increased to 2.3
Mbit/s.

Figure A–5 Extended upstream bandwidth of ADSL2+

IV. Longer transmission distance

The transmission distance of ADSL is less than 5 km, while that of ADSL2+ is 6.5 km
at least.

V. Lower power consumption

ADSL2+ provides the power management function to reduce the running power.
z ADSL2+ offers the low power consumption mode, L2 mode. In this mode, if no
user data is transmitted, the system reduces the Tx power to 30% of that in
normal running state, which is only used to transmit the necessary management

A-9
Technical Manual
HONET Integrated Services Access Network Appendix A Introduction to xDSL Technology

messages and signal synchronization signals. When there is data to be


transmitted, the normal power consumption is restored rapidly.
z The CO and the CPE of ADSL2+ have the function of “power cutback”, ranging
from 0 to 40 dB. This function can reduce the Tx power of the system effectively
during the normal operation. For ADSL, only the CO has such function, ranging
from 0 to 12 dB.

VI. Steadier running and good frequency spectrum compatibility

ADSL2+ has steadier running capability and good frequency spectrum compatibility.
z The receiver determines the carrier sequencing according to the channel
analysis result, which can reflect the channel state more reliably and select most
appropriate tone as pilot. This helps improve the steadiness of the ADSL
connection.
z In the training, the Rx end can test the distribution of RFI signals, and can control
the Tx power of each tone through CO-MIB during the tone is closed. This avoids
RFI and reduces the crosstalk to other pairs.
z ADSL2+ is of good dynamic adaptability. The enhanced bit swap and the
function of changing line rate seamlessly and dynamically in the “show time”
state improve the adaptability to the line parameter variation.
z For ADSL2+, the receiver and Tx end have the function of “power cutback”,
ranging from 0 to 40 dB. This function reduces the local end echo and crosstalk.
For ADSL, only the CO has such function in downstream direction, ranging from
0 to 12 dB.
z The Rx end determines pilot, which avoids that the line cannot be activated
because of the interference of line bridge extractor and Am.
z The Tx and Rx ends control the initialization state length, which optimizes the
function of transmitting and receiving signals.
z ADSL2+ provides shortened training process, during which the faulty connection
can be restored to the normal state quickly.

VII. Line diagnosis function

ADSL2+ supports the dual ended loop test between the CO and the CPE to obtain the
following parameters based on the special line test process.
z Line transfer function
The test result is given in two modes: linear expression and logarithm expression. The
former indicates the information about the amplitude and the phase, and the latter
gives the result convenient for calculation.
z Static line background noise power spectral density
When modem does not send any data to the line, it only detects the background noise
on the line. Each tone has a test value.

A-10
Technical Manual
HONET Integrated Services Access Network Appendix A Introduction to xDSL Technology

z Signal-to-noise ratio
It indicates the ratio of the signal power to the noise power that is received by the
receiver.
z Loop attenuation (average value)
It indicates the average value of the amplitudes of transfer function of all nodes.
z Signal attenuation
It indicates the ratio of the signal power received by the Rx end to the signal power
transmitted from the Tx end. Actually, it is the line attenuation parameter of ADSL.
z SNR margin
This value is given during the training and can be refreshed on a timed basis during
the normal operation. It indicates the capability of the line connection to resist noise.
z Maximum reachable rate
You can use the following formula to work out the maximum reachable rate of the line
based on the parameters listed above.

 NSC −1  SNR (i ) − snrgap − TARSNRM  


ATTNDR =  ∑    × 4 kbit / s
 i =0  3 dB 
z Actual total Tx power
It indicates the actual total Tx power of the local and the remote.

VIII. Seamless rate adaptive

A telephone cable is made up of multiple pairs of twisted pairs. The electric signals in
one pair of twisted pairs are coupled to the other twisted pairs of the same telephone
cable. Such phenomenon is called crosstalk, which has an influence on ADSL
performance.

ADSL2+ adopts the seamless rate adaptive (SRA) technology to solve the problem of
crosstalk. When ADSL2+ detects its channel environment changed, it adapts the line
rate to the new application without changing BER, thus solving the problem of
crosstalk.

IX. Rate binding function

When multiple telephone lines are bound logically, users can obtain higher rate to
meet different service needs. ADSL2+ supports the rate binding function, by which
two or more twisted pairs can be bound to serve one ADSL connection. Figure A–6
illustrates how the rate varies from the distance when two twisted pairs are bound.

A-11
Technical Manual
HONET Integrated Services Access Network Appendix A Introduction to xDSL Technology

Figure A–6 Rate variation from the distance when two twisted pairs are bound

X. Channelized voice over DSL

In ADSL2+, bandwidth can be divided into channels that have different connection
characteristics to fulfill different applications.

By channelized voice over DSL technology, ADSL2+ is able to provide CvoDSL


service. By this service, the system can transmit TDM voice service over DSL
bandwidth under the condition of guaranteeing the normal operation of the traditional
POTS and Internet access services.

XI. Improved interworking capability

In ADSL2+, ADSL transceiver unit is functionally divided into different sub-layers,


including TPS-TC, PMS-TC, PMD and MPS-TC. All sub-layers are encapsulated, and
messages among them are defined to achieve the interworking of equipment
produced by different manufacturers.

A.4 SHDSL

I. Overview

SHDSL is developed from the technologies of HDSL, SDSL and ISDN. DSL2
applications are limited by its constant rate delivered. SDSL makes some

A-12
Technical Manual
HONET Integrated Services Access Network Appendix A Introduction to xDSL Technology

improvements to it, but fails to gain wide recognition. Therefore, ITU-T constitutes
SHDSL Recommendation as a replacement.

SHDSL supports a wide range of transmit rate, and features low transmit power,
spectral compatibility. The transmit rate over a single twisted pair is in range of
192 kbit/s–2312 kbit/s with 8 kbit/s steps. Optionally, the transmit rate over two twisted
pairs is in range of 384 kbit/s–4624 kbit/s with 16 kbit/s steps.

SHDSL delivers data service at the rate reaching 2.3 Mbit/s over length of 3 km. It is
used widely as a replacement of E1/T1 technology, or in applications requiring
symmetric high-speed data service or VoDSL. It is applicable to videoconferencing,
voice bundling etc.

SHDSL advantages are as follows:


z Expand the E1/V.35 transmission distance (in TDM mode) to 3–6 km, four times
that of the ordinary E1/V.35.
z Make full use of existing copper wires to enable broadband service access.
z Provides functions of flow control, service configuration, status check, remote
maintenance over embedded operation channel (EOC).

III. Line coding

Two line codes are widely used in VDSL: QAM and DMT. QAM gains wide application
in VDSL commercial applications. QAM advantages are as follows:
z Simple to implement, low cost, low power consumption.
z Adaptive filter decreases the frequency interference.
z It distributes VDSL in frequencies within 900 kHz to overlap ADSL. When ADSL
service is unavailable over the twisted pair, frequencies larger than 138kHz can
be used to deliver higher rate.
z Compared with DMT, QAM requires more precise digital-to-analogue converter
(DAC) and analogue-to-digital converter (ADC).

for example, voice and image services that require the bandwidth in fixed size during
data transmission.

CCS (Common Control Signaling)

It is a signaling mode in which a group of voice channels of signaling is transmitted in


a high-speed data link in the TDM mode. Generally, it is used in the
telecommunications network composed of SPC switches. Since it is usually used for
inter-office, it is also called common channel inter-office signaling mode.

CES (Circuit Emulation Service)

It is a kind of ATM service, which provides virtual circuits similar to the TDM between
local access circuits. This service is realized through the AAL1 protocol.

CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check)

It is a kind of data transmission error detecting function, which performs data


multinomial calculation, and attaches the sum to the frame. The receiving equipment
also performs this algorithm, and checks whether the data are distorted during

carried at the header of the FR frame, and used to distinguish different connections.

DMT (Discrete Multi-Tone)

It is the ADSL modulation technology recommended by the ANSI T1.413. The main
principle is to divide the frequency band (0-1.104MHz) into 256 quadrature
sub-channels indicated by frequency (each sub-channel occupies 4kHz bandwidth).
The input signal, after the bit allocation and buffering, is divided into bit blocks. After
the time compressed multiplex (TCM) coding and 512-point Inverse Discrete Fourier
Transform (IDFT), the signal is transformed to time domain. At this time, the bit blocks
will be transformed to 256 QAM sub-characters. Afterward, a cyclic prefix (used to
eliminate inter-symbol interference) is added to each bit block. Then, the signal is sent

B-2
Technical Manual
HONET Integrated Services Access Network Appendix B Terminologies

to the channel by the sending filter after digital-analog (DA) conversion. At the
receiving end, the reverse order is taken to receive and decode the signal.

DSLAM (Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer)

The frame relay service provides bi-directional transmission of subscriber information


stream between subscribers and network interfaces, and keeps information sequence
unchanged. The subscriber information is transmitted with the unit of frame, and the
subscriber information stream is counted and multiplexed. Frame relay is a major
technology generated in the ISDN standardization process. As a kind of transmission
technology, it is developed based on the X.25 packet switching technology under the
conditions that the digital fiber transmission lines have taken the place of the existing
analog lines gradually and the subscriber terminals become much more intelligent.

HDB3 (High Density Bipolar of Order 3 Code)

It is a kind of E1 line coding mode.

MIB (Management Information Base)

It is the objective collection that can be accessed through the network management
protocol (such as SNMP).

B-3
Technical Manual
HONET Integrated Services Access Network Appendix B Terminologies

It is the inter-node interface in the same network recommended by ITU-T. The ATM
Association prescribes two standards: one is called PNNI used in the private network,
and the other is called common NNI used in the common network.

RTS (Request to Send)

It is a control signal sent from the DTE to DCE, notifying the DCE that the DTE has
data to transmit.

SAR (Segmentation and Reassembly)

It is used to segment the information frames into the ATM cells in the output source,

noise.

SRTS (Synchronous Residual Time Stamp)

It is a method used for AAL1 to restore the clock of the sending end at the receiving
end. The AAL1 detects the frequency margin (residual timestamp) between the
sending clock and network clock at the sending end. The margin value, as part of the
sequence flag field of the AAL1 frame format, is transmitted through the network, and
the receiving end can regenerate the sending clock signal according to this
timestamp.

UBR (Unspecified Bit Rate)

It is a non-real-time application service, of which the delay needs not to be restricted


strictly. This application includes the traditional computer communication application
program, for example, file transmission or E-mail.

VBR (Variable Bit Rate)

In the ATM, the service with variable bit rate can generate the variable throughput rate.
Based on whether the throughput rate is generated in real time, it can be divided into
two kinds of services, nrt-VBR service and rt-VBR.
