Emergence of SDH
• What is SDH?
– Synchronous Digital Hierarchy
– It defines a standard frame structure, a specific
multiplexing method, and so on.

 Why did SDH emerge?


 Need for a system to process increasing amounts of
information.
 New standard that allows interconnecting equipment
of different suppliers.

Page2
Advantages of SDH
 Interfaces
 PDH electrical interfaces  SDH electrical interfaces
 Only 3 regional standards:  Universal standards
European (2.048 Mb/s),  SDH optical interfaces
Japanese, North American
 Can be connected to
(1.544 Mb/s)
different vendors’ optical
 PDH optical interfaces transmission equipments.
 No standards,
manufacturers develop at
their will.

Disadvantages of PDH
• Multiplexing methods: Level by level
140 Mb/s 140 Mb/s

34 Mb/s 34 Mb/s

8 Mb/s 8 Mb/s

Demultiplexers Multiplexers

2 Mb/s
More equipment to achieve this functionality
Not suitable for huge-volume transmission More equipment  More floor space
Headache for network planners More power  More costs

Advantages of SDH
 OAM function
 PDH  SDH
 In the frame structure of  Abundant overheads
PDH signals, there are bytes for OAM
few overhead bytes used  Remote & Centralized
for OAM. Management
 Weak OAM function  Fast circuit provisioning

Comparison between SDH and PDH
 Low bandwidth utilization ratio
 In PDH, E4 signal (140Mbits/s) can contain 64 E1 signals.

 In SDH, STM-1 (155 Mbits/s) can only carry 63 E1 signals.

 Complex mechanism of pointer justification

 Influence of excessive use of software on system security

SDH Multiplexing Features
• SDH Multiplexing includes:
– Low to high rate SDH signals (STM-1  STM-N)
– PDH to SDH signals (2M, 34M & 140M  STM-N)
– Other hierarchy signals to SDH Signals (IP  STM-N)
• Some terms and definitions:
– Mapping
– Aligning
– Multiplexing
