Different Transmission Media• Twisted pair

• Coaxial cable

• Wireless transmission.

• Optical fiber

Page 5: 77205125 Pdh Sdh Presentation 1

Why optical fiber transmission ?

• Large transmission capacity,

• Good quality

• Small attenuation.

• Strict security.

• Large trunk distance.

Page 6: 77205125 Pdh Sdh Presentation 1

Advantages of Optical Transmission

– Large bandwidth permits high data transmission, which also supports the aggregation of voice, video, and data

– Technological improvements are occurring rapidly, often permitting increased capacity over existing optical fiber

Page 7: 77205125 Pdh Sdh Presentation 1

Advantages of Optical Transmission

– Immunity to electromagnetic interference reduces bit error rate and eliminates the need for shielding within or outside a building

– Glass fiber has low attenuation, which permits extended cable transmission distance

Page 8: 77205125 Pdh Sdh Presentation 1

Advantages of Optical Transmission

– Light as a transmission medium provides the ability for the use of optical fiber in dangerous environments

– Optical fiber is difficult to tap, thus providing a higher degree of security than possible with copper wire

– Light weight and small diameter of fiber permit high capacity through existing conduits

Nyquist’s Sampling theorem

For a signal of bandwidth B Hz, the minimum sampling rate is 2B samples/s

• In the telephone system the speech signal has a bandwidth up to 3.4 kHz and a sampling rate of 8 kHz,

Page 12: 77205125 Pdh Sdh Presentation 1

The 32-channel PCM Transmission system

• 30 speech signals plus two control channels for signalling and synchronising: – Signal bandwidth 3.4 kHz

– Sampling rate 8 kHz (8000samples/sec)

• Hence frame length 1/8000 sec or 125s

– Sample size 8 bits/sample

• Hence bit rate from each signal 8*8000=64 kbit/s

– 32 channels

• Hence each time slot 3.906 s

– 1/(8000*32)

– Overall data rate 2.048 Mbit/s

• 32*64 kbit/s =2048 kbit/s or 2.048 Mbit/s

HIGHER ORDER DIGITAL MULTIPLEXING TECHNOLOGY

• Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy

(PDH)

• Synchronous Digital Hierarchy

(SDH)

Page 15: 77205125 Pdh Sdh Presentation 1

PDH MULTIPLEXING

• Plesiochronous means non synchronous.• Multiplexing of 2 Mbit/s to 140 Mbit/s requires two

intermediate multiplexing stages of 8 Mbit/s and 34 Mbit/s.

• The multiplexing of several tributaries can be achieved by

Bit by bit multiplexing (bit interleaving)• There are four bit streams to be multiplexed. One bit is

sequentially taken from each tributary so that the resulting multiplexed bit stream has every fifth bit coming from the same tributary.

Page 16: 77205125 Pdh Sdh Presentation 1

PDH features

• Bit interleaving is used for North American and European PDH system. A typical 8.448 Mb/s plesichronous multiplexer has four primary (E1) MUX, each having an out put of 2.048 Mb/s, bit interleaved to form the next level in hierarchy.

• Note that this output rate of 8.448 Mb/s is not exactly four times the tributary bit rate of 2.048Mb/s. This is a result of the non-sychronous nature of the system.

Page 17: 77205125 Pdh Sdh Presentation 1

PDH Features

• Every tributary has its own clock. Every tributary is timed with plesiochronous frequency, that is a nominal frequency about which the shifts around it within prefixed limits. For example, the primary multiplexer output is 2.048 Mb/s +- 50ppm.

• To account for the small variations of the tributaries frequencies about the nominal value when multiplexing four tributaries to the next hierarchy level, a process known as positive stuffing (also known as positive justification) is used.

Page 18: 77205125 Pdh Sdh Presentation 1

Positive Pulse stuffing or justification

• Pulse stuffing involves intentionally making the output bit rate of a channel higher than the input rate. The output channel therefore contains all the input data plus a variable number of “stuffed bits’ that are not part of the incoming subscriber information.

• The stuffed bits are inserted at the specific locations, to pad the input bit stream to the higher output bit rate. This stuffed bits must be identified at the receiving end so that “de-stuffing” can be done to recover the original bit stream.

Page 19: 77205125 Pdh Sdh Presentation 1

Positive Pulse stuffing or justification

• Pulse stuffing is used for higher order multiplexing when each of the incoming lower order tributary signal is unsynchronized, and therefore bears no prefix phase relationship to any of the other.

Comparison Of SDH & PDH Technology

For SDH, tributaries & data are mapped/de mapped to VC-4 container directly and have its own identity.

• For PDH , tributaries are mux. /de-mux. in steps and have no identity.

• Synchronous Digital Multiplexers have tributaries with the same clock frequency, and they are all synchronized to a master clock.

• Plesiochronous Digital Multiplexers (non synchronous) have tributaries that have the same nominal frequency (that means there can be small difference from one to another), but they are not synchronized to each other.

• For synchronous case, the pulses in each tributary all rise and fall during the same time interval.

• For the PDH, the rise and fall time of the pulses in each tributaries do not coincide with each other.

Page 28: 77205125 Pdh Sdh Presentation 1

Disadvantage of PDH System

• Inability to identify individual channels in a higher-order bit stream;

• Insufficient capacity for network management; • Non compatibility between different vendors.• No worldwide standard optical interface specification.• Restricted to point-to-point transmission.• Can’t sustain high bit rate multiplexing (Above

140Mb/s)• Impossible to extract base-band signal in between

without complete De multiplexing the aggregate• restoration time is several seconds to minutes

Page 29: 77205125 Pdh Sdh Presentation 1

Advantage of SDH System

• Simple multiplexing processes• Easy access to various signals in a multiplexed high

bit rate signal• Standardized interface can support multi vendor inter

working, international connection and many different services; i.e. Voice , Ethernet, video, ATM, IP

• Support advance Network Management System (OAM&P) – Overhead bits for Fault, Configuration, Performance Monitoring, Security and Accounting management

Page 30: 77205125 Pdh Sdh Presentation 1

Advantage of SDH System

• Service restoration time is less than 50 ms• A flexible and efficient way of networking

– Network Distribution: Add/Drop capability– Network survivability: APS (Automatic Protection

Switching)– Traffic Cross connection: capacity management,

bandwidth management and protection route diversity

Regenerator Section

– Regeneration section layer is the lowest level of link components in a SDH network

– Deals with the transport of an STM-N frame across the physical medium

– Point-to-point connection between two regeneration section termination points with direct optical or electrical domain connectivity

– Terminated by Regenerator Section Terminating Equipment (RSTE)

– The Regeneration section is mainly designed to overcome physical limitations of the transport technology

Page 45: 77205125 Pdh Sdh Presentation 1

Pointer

• H1, H2, H3 Pointers

– Pointers were included into SDH design to provide tools to compensate for incoming payload phase differences

• It avoids delay and jitter in payload

Multiplex Section

– One or more consecutive regenerator sections might compose a multiplex section

• Main element to build different topologies (e.g. ring)

– Deals with the transport of path layer payloads across the physical medium

– Multiplex section is a point-to-point logical link that connects to ADM, MUX, or DCS devices

• These devices might not include a path termination

– Overhead is interpreted and modified by Multiplex Section Terminating Equipment (MSTE)

• Multiplex section (MS) overhead is accessed only after the section overhead has been first terminated

POH

– One or more connected multiplex sections may provide a transport service for a path

• Multiplex section may carry multiple paths by multiplexing

– Deals with the transport of various payloads between SDH terminal multiplexing equipment

– Path layer maps payloads into the format required by the MS Layer

– Communicates end-to-end via the Path Overhead (POH)

– POH is terminated and modified by Path Terminating Equipment (PTE)

• Regenerator and multiplex section overhead must be terminated to access the overhead
