14 Types of SDH Multiplexing14 Types of SDH Multiplexing
• SDH multiplexing combines low-speed digital signals such as 2, 34, and 140 Mbps signals with required Overhead to form a frame called STM-1.
• It also multiplexes ATM and ISDN signals into SDH frame.
• SDH is a Byte-Interleaving multiplexing system.

• SDH multiplexing includes two types:
1. Multiplexing lower-order SDH signals into higher-order signals.
2. Multiplexing low-rate tributary signals into SDH signal. The goods of different size is
analogous to different data rates such as 140 Mbps, 34 Mbps, and 2 Mbps.

14.1 Multiplexing 140 Mbps 14.1 Multiplexing 140 Mbps Signal into STM-1Signal into STM-1
• First, the 140 Mbps PDH signal (E4) is adapted via bit rate justification into Container level 4 (C-4).
• The C-4 has 9 x 260 = 2340 bytes.
• The frame rate of C-4 is 8000 frames/Sec, every 125 μS.
• The rate of E4 signal after adaptation is 9 x 260 x 8 x 8000 = 149.760 Mbps
07/04/2013 Bahman R. Alyaei 5
Continue…Continue…
• A column of POH is added in front of every C-4 block in order to implement real-time monitoring over the 140 Mbps path signals.
• The resulting block is called Virtual Container level 4 (VC-4) with a rate of 9 x 261 x 8 x 8000 = 150.336 Mbps.

of the STM-1 frame.
• Location of the VC-4 within the Payload may float when it loads.
• Part of the VC-4 is transmitted in one STM-1 frame and another part in the next frame.
• This problem is solved by adding AU-PTR before the VC-4.
• It will indicate the start of the VC-4 in the Payload.

called Administrative Unit level 4 (AU-4).• It has the same basic structure of STM-1
frame (9 rows x 270 columns), but only without SOH.
• AU-4 = VC-4 + AU-PTR
= STM-1 – SOH• To complete the STM-1 frame, the SOH is
added to AU-4.

• The complete procedure of multiplexing 140 Mbps signal into STM-1 is as follow:
1. 140 Mbps PDH signal adapted into container C-4.

14.2 Multiplexing 34 Mbps 14.2 Multiplexing 34 Mbps Signals into STM-1 Frame Signals into STM-1 Frame
• Three different 34 Mbps signals can be multiplexed into one STM-1 frame as follow:
• First, the 34 Mbps PDH signal is adapted via bit rate adaptation into container level 3 (C-3).
• The C-3 has 9 raw x 84 column = 756 Bytes.
• A column of POH is added in front of every C-3 block in order to implement real-time monitoring over the 34 Mbps signals
• The resulting block is called VC-3.

Pointer (TU-PTR) which allows VC-3 to float in the Payload.
• The area in which the VC-3 is allowed to float with the aid of TU-PTR is called Tributary Unit level 3 (TU-3).
• TU-PTR contains an address which indicates the start of the VC-3 in the TU-3.
• TU-3 frame structure is incomplete, therefore, 6-Bytes pseudo-random data (R) are stuffed to fill the gap of TU-3.
• The resulting block is called Tributary Unit Group 3 (TUG3).

• Three TUG-3 blocks are byte interleaved into a container C-4.
• Since the resulting structure has only 258 columns (3 x 86), two columns of stuffed bits are added to complete the C-4 structure.
• Finally, C-4 is multiplexed into STM-1 signal which is similar to multiplexing 140 Mbps signal into STM-1.

14.3 Multiplexing 2 Mbps Signals 14.3 Multiplexing 2 Mbps Signals into STM-1 Frameinto STM-1 Frame
• 63 E1 signals (2 Mbps) can be multiplexed into one STM-1 signal.
• First, the 2Mbps signal is adapted via bit rate adaptation into container level 1, order 2, C-12
• Container C-12 accommodate 34 bytes.• A Multiframe is formed by arranging
Four C-12 basic frames side-by-side.
07/04/2013 Bahman R. Alyaei 33
Continue…Continue…
• Since the frequency of E1 is 8000 frames/sec.
• Therefore, the frame frequency of C-12 basic frame is also 8000 frames/sec.
• Hence, the frequency of the C-12 Multiframe is 2000 frames/sec.
• When a Multiframe multiplexed into STM-1 frame, they are placed in four successive STM-1 frames, instead of one single frame.
07/04/2013 Bahman R. Alyaei 34
Continue…Continue…• The Multiframe is used for the convenience of
rate adaptation.• If E1 (2 Mbps) signals have standard rate of
2.048 Mbps, each C-12 will accommodate 256 bits (32 bytes) Payload (2.048 Mbps /8000 = 256 bits).
• However, when the rate of the E1 signals is not standard, the average bit number accommodated into each C-12 is not an integer.
• In this case, a Multiframe of four C-12 frames is used to accommodate signals.

Continue…Continue…• To monitor the performance of each 2 Mbps
signal, a Lower-Order Path Overhead (LO-POH) with the size of one byte is added to the notch in the top-left corner of each C-12.
• Each Multiframe has four different LO-POH bytes: V5, J2, N2, and K4.
• The combination of a C-12 and a LO-POH byte is called Virtual Container level 1, order 2 (VC-12).

• Every Multiframe is assigned a four-byte Tributary Unit Pointer (TU-PTR) which allow it to float.
• There are four different pointer bytes: V1, V2, V3, and V4.
• The first two (V1, V2) contains an address indicating the start of the Multiframe.
• Then the information structure changes into Tributary Unit level 1, order 2 (TU-12) with 9 raws x 4 columns.

• Three TU-12 frames from different Multiframes are byte interleaved to form a Tributary Unit Group 2 (TUG-2).
• In the next step, seven TUG-2 frames are byte interleaved in the same manner and add two columns of stuffed bits to form a TUG-3 structure.
• And finally, the procedure of multiplexing TUG-3 into STM-1 signal is the same as mentioned before.

• The SDH signal was designed to be timing tolerant to support:
1. Plesiochronously timed,
2. Lower-rate signals,
3. Slight timing differences between synchronously timed NEs.
07/04/2013 Bahman R. Alyaei 57
Continue…Continue…
• Two mechanisms allow for robust timing compensation:
1.Variable bit justification of the lower-rate signal,
2.Pointer (PTR) adjustments between synchronous elements in the SDH network.
07/04/2013 Bahman R. Alyaei 58
Continue…Continue…
• PTR adjustments allow the VC-4 to float with respect to the SDH frame.
• Therefore, a single VC-4 Payload frame typically crosses the STM-1 frame boundary.
• The PTR is contained in the H1 and H2 bytes of the AU-PTR, and it is a count of the number of bytes the VC-4’s POH J1 byte is away from the H3 bytes, not including the SOH bytes.
• A valid VC-4 PTR can range from 0 to 782.

PTR Bytes Designating the Start of the VC-4
POH
07/04/2013 Bahman R. Alyaei 60
Continue…Continue…
• When timing differences exist, dummy bytes can be inserted into the VC-4 without affecting the data.
• The PTR is adjusted to indicate where the real POH starts, the receiving end can effectively recover the Payload (i.e. ignore the dummy bytes).
• When justified bytes are used, they are always in the same location, regardless of where the POH starts.
07/04/2013 Bahman R. Alyaei 61
Continue…Continue…
• H3 bytes are called Negative Justification bytes and carry real Payload data for one frame during a PTR decrement.
• The three bytes following the last H3 byte in the VC-4 are called Positive Justification bytes and carry three dummy bytes of information for one frame during a PTR increment.
07/04/2013 Bahman R. Alyaei 62
1. f1 = f2
• If there is no timing difference between two nodes, the incoming STM-1 Payload bit rate is identical to the transmitting source that drives the outgoing STM-1 frame rate.
• So, in this case, no PTR Adjustments are needed.

2. f1< f2• There is a constant lack of Payload
data to place into the outgoing SDH signal.
• To compensate, three dummy bytes are placed into the Positive stuff bytes and the data is moved to the right by three bytes, so the VC-4 PTR is incremented by one.

3. f1 > f2• Then, three extra VC-4 Payload
bytes are stored into the Negative stuff bytes, H3, in the MSOH for one frame, while all the Payload data is moved to the left by three bytes and the PTR is decreased by one.

Decrementing the Pointer Value
07/04/2013 Bahman R. Alyaei 67
Continue…Continue…• The only equipment that can perform Path PTR
Adjustments is MSTE (DXC and Access Multiplexer).
• Also, Path PTR Adjustments are not performed by PTE (i.e. Access Multiplexer, where the Payload data enters the SDH network) even though there are potential timing differences at these locations as well.
• The timing differences at PTEs are due to Plesiochronously-timed tributary signals and are corrected by traditional bit justification techniques.

15 Multiplexing Revisited15 Multiplexing Revisited
• In SDH terms, multiplexing of non-SDH signals means adapting these signals to the structure and timing of an STM-1 signal, enabling these non-SDH signals to be transported inside the SDH network.
• The first step in the multiplexing of a non-SDH signal is mapping.
• Mapping of a non-SDH signal means increasing the frequency of the non-SDH signal to a pre-determined frequency and adding OH for each one of the non-SDH signals.

15.1 Multiplexing 140 Mbps 15.1 Multiplexing 140 Mbps RevisitedRevisited
07/04/2013 Bahman R. Alyaei 70
Continue…Continue…
• The first step is increasing the frequency of the 140 Mbps signal to the value of 149.76 Mbps, by using variable bit justification.
• The resulting structure is called a C-4.
• Next, add nine OH bytes to the C-4; this OH is called POH.
07/04/2013 Bahman R. Alyaei 71
Continue…Continue…
• These nine bytes are: J1, B3, C2, G1, F2, H4, Z4, and Z5, and the resulting structure is called a VC-4.
• The second step is the addition of a VC-4 PTR.
• The resulting structure is called AU-4. Finally, MSOH and RSOH are added to the AU-4 to create the STM-1 signal.

15.2 Multiplexing 34 Mbps Revisited15.2 Multiplexing 34 Mbps Revisited
07/04/2013 Bahman R. Alyaei 73
Continue…Continue…
• The multiplexing of 34 Mbps signals into an STM-1 is similar to that of 140 Mbps signals.
• The major difference is that, because a VC-4 has a maximum Payload Capacity of 149.76 Mbps, it can transport three 34 Mbps signals.
• Each of the three transported 34 Mbps signals is assigned a separate set of POH identical to the POH used with the 140 Mbps signal.
07/04/2013 Bahman R. Alyaei 74
Continue…Continue…
• Another difference is that there are two levels of pointers:
1. One PTR for the VC-4,2. One separate PTR for each of the
three 34 Mbps signals.• The synchronized 34 Mbps signals
are called C-3s, and the structures created by adding the POH are called VC-3s.
07/04/2013 Bahman R. Alyaei 75
Continue…Continue…
• The three VC-3s along with their PTRs are called TU-3s.
• Once the three TU-3s have been created, they are combined to form the Payload of the VC-4.

07/04/2013 Bahman R. Alyaei 77
Continue…Continue…
• The multiplexing of 2 Mbps signals into a STM-1 is similar to that of 34 Mbps signals.
• In this case, the STM-1 signal can transport 63 separate 2 Mbps signals.
• Therefore, as in the case of 34 Mbps signals, there are two levels of PTRs.
• Also, the POH assigned to each 2 Mbps signal is different from that used in 140 and 34 Mbps signals.
07/04/2013 Bahman R. Alyaei 78
Continue…Continue…
• The POH for a 2 Mbps signal consists of four bytes: V5, J2, Z6, and Z7.
• Unlike mapping of 140 and 34 Mbps signals, the types of 2 Mbps mappings are:
1. Plesiochronous,
2. Bit synchronous,
3. Byte synchronous.
07/04/2013 Bahman R. Alyaei 79
Continue…Continue…• Each C-12 along with its POH is called VC-
12.• Each VC-12 along with its VC-12 PTR is
called TU-12.• Three byte interleaved TU-12s is called
TUG-3.• The Payload of the VC-4 is created by
combining 7 TUG-3s with fixed justification.
