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.

Advantages of SDH
 Interfaces
 PDH electrical interfaces
 SDH electrical interface
s
 Only 3 regional standards
: European (2.048 Mb/s),  Universal standards
Japanese, North American  SDH optical interfaces
(1.544 Mb/s)
 Can be connected to diff
 PDH optical interfaces erent vendors’ optical
 No standards, manufacture transmission equipments.
rs 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

Comparison between SDH and PDH
 Low bandwidth utilization ratio
 In PDH, E4 signal (140Mbits/s) can contain 64 E1 signal
s.
 In SDH, STM-1 (155 Mbits/s) can only carry 63 E1 signal
s.

 Complex mechanism of pointer justification


 Influence of excessive use of software on system secu
rity

SDH Frame Structure
Frame = 125 us
From ITU-T G.707:

1. One frame lasts for 125


microseconds (8000 frames/s)
2. Rectangular block structure 9
rows and 270 columns (Basic

123456789
frame: STM-1)
3. Each unit is one byte (8 bits) 9 rows
4. Transmission mode: Byte by
byte, row by row, from left to
right, from top to bottom

270 Columns
Bit rate of STM-1= 9*270*8*8000
