Physical Media

Three major types of physical media Copper

Twisted-pair, coaxial, twin-axial (twin-ax), broadband (used in CATV)

Fiber Resistance to electromagnetic signals, not affected by

crosstalk, interference, but require more protection Air

Point-to-point wireless, wireless LAN, cellular, microwave, or satellite

RS-232, ITU-T V.24/V.28

EIA RS-232 (or EIA-232 or most recent TIA-232) are defined by the Electronic Industries Association (EIA) as synchronous interface standards for use with the physical layer D-shaped 25-pin connector (DB25) DTE interface to voice-

grade modems (DCE) TIA: Telecommunications Industry Association EIA: Electronic Industries Alliance

ITU V.24/V.28 is similar to RS-232 and provides the international version of the RS-232 standard V.24 defines physical interface and V.28 defines electrical

interface

RS232


6

RS-232 (cont’d)

The standard does not define bit rates for transmission, although the standard says it is intended for bit rates lower than 20 kbps.

Many modern devices can exceed this speeed (38.4 kbps and 57.6 kbps being common, and 115.2 kbps and 230.4 kbps making occasional appearances) while still using RS232 compatible signal levels.

In general, terminals have male connectors with DTE pin functions, and modems have female connectors with DCE pin functions

Full RS232 requires 25-pin connector, whereas only 22 pins are used. Since most devices, especially PC, use only a few signals, smaller connectors can be used, e.g. 9-pin connector (DB9)

IEEE802 Physical Interfaces

3 common MAC physical interfaces for the IEEE 802 architecture model are: Ethernet (802.3) Token Ring (802.5) Wireless LAN (802.11)


18

10-Mbps (Legacy) Ethernet

Many different types of Ethernet access: 1 Base5, 10Base2, 10Base5, 10BaseF

Each type defines both wiring and device terminating the end of the wiring

10Base5 (Thicknet) and 10Base2 (Thinnet) 10 refers to 10-Mbps Ethernet Base stands for baseband

Baseband signaling indicates that Ethernet signals are the only signals carried over the media system

Most common connectivity is via twisted-pair using 10BaseT or 100BaseT standards with no more than 100 m from central bus or switch


19

Comparisons of Ethernet Cabling Specifications


20

Fast Ethernet

100 Mbps, new preferred standard FastEthernet specifications include mechanisms for

autonegotiation of the media speed. Vendor can produce dual-speed Ethernet interfaces that can

be installed and run at either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps automatically

Autonegotiation allows the devices to perform automatic configuration to achieve the best possible mode of operation over a link


21

Fast Ethernet (cont’d)

Three media varieties 100BaseTX: uses 2-pair Category 5 UTP cable

TX segment type is a twisted-pair segment that uses two pairs of wires and is based on data grade twisted-pair physical medium standard developed by ANSI

100BaseFX: uses fiber-optic cable FX is based on fiber-optic physical medium standard

developed by ANSI and uses two strands of fiber cable 100BaseT4: uses 4-pair Category 3, 4, or 5 UTP cable

T4 segment type is a twisted-pair segment that uses four pairs of telephone-grade twisted-pair wire


22

Gigabit Ethernet

Idea when budget is tight but require higher bandwidth Employ all the same specifications defined by the

original Ethernet standard, including the same Ethernet frame format and size

1000BaseT physical layer provides 1-Gbps Ethernet signal transmission over four pairs of Cat-5 UTP cable

Use five-level (PAM-5) encoding along with four wire pairs, able to provide 250 Mbps per pair

Can transmit signal for 100 m over twister-pair cable and longer with fiber-optic cable


23

Gigabit Ethernet (cont’d)

1000BaseT: use 4-pair CAT-5 balanced copper cabling and a 5-level coding scheme

1000BaseCX: use 150-ohm shielded copper cable and supports a max length of 25 m

1000BaseF: use fiber-optic 1000BaseFX: use 62.5/125 multimode fiber and supports a max

distance of 412 m 1000BaseSX: use 50/125 or 62.5/125 multimode fiber with max

distance of 550 m 1000BaseLX: use 9/125 single-mode, 50/125 multimode, or

62.5/125 multimode fiber with max distance of 5 kms 1000BaseZX: use 9/125 single-mode fiber with max distance of 100

kms 10-Gbps Ethernet: only fiber-optic cable


24

Step-index Profile

The proportion between diameters of core and cladding e.g. 62.5/125 (µm)


25

Token Bus and Token Ring Physical interface for IEEE802.4 Token Bus and IEEE802.5 Token Ring is

the DB connector, interfacing with IBM Type 1 shielded twisted-pair cable. Token ring: Physical star, logical ring Uses special 3-byte frame called a token travelling around the ring. Coaxial cable connections are also available (for Token Bus) Token ring LAN speeds of 4, 16, 100 Mbps and 1 Gbps have been standardi

zed by the IEEE 802.5 working group. Token Ring is usually run in Type 1 (2-pair STP), Type 2 (4-pair STP), Type

3 (UTP), and Type 5 (fiber-optic cable)

Media access unit(provide logical ring)

MDI port: medium dependent interface used to connect to other hub or switch without crossover cable required


26

Physical Media Comparison


27

Wireless LAN (IEEE802.11)

IEEE802.11 specifies connectivity between LAN devices using radio-based equipment

802.11 is similar to 802.3 for wired LANs but use CSMA/CA instead of CSMA/CD

Collision detection cannot be used for radio frequency transmission because when a node transmits over the air, it cannot hear other nodes on the network

Support two types of operating configurations: Adhoc or independent do not need an access point Infrastructure need an access point

Access point acts as a bridge in a wired LAN

modems was 33.6 Kbps. With V.90, connection speeds can exceed 50 Kbps

Up to 54 Kbps download, 33.6 Kbps upload V.92 provides 56 Kbps with enhancements:

Upload speed increased to 48 Kbps: improve video conferencing and file uploading

Startup time reduced from about 20 seconds to about 10 seconds

ISDN

ISDN provides one of the best disaster discovery alternatives for services such as Fame Relay and IP (VPNs and Internet access)

Built on the TDM hierarchy developed for digital telephony

ITU-T defines two standards for physical interface to ISDN BRI (Basic Rate Interface) PRI (Primary Rate Interface)

50

ISDN: PRI


51

ISDN Protocol Model

Primary ISDN architecture concepts consists of multiple devices connecting through an ISDN network termination device (TE) into the central office environment where information services are provided


52

ISDN Information Services Concept


53

ISDN Protocol Architecture


54


ISDN introduced the notion of multiple planes: Bearer service (or user plane) Control plane Management plane


55


The user protocol (or bearer service) is Layer 1 for circuit-mode, Layer-2 for frame-mode, and Layer 3 for packet-mode services

Intermediate nodes might provide only physical connectivity.

The purpose of control plane is to establish, configure, and release the user plane capabilities

The management plane is responsible for monitoring the status, configuring the parameters, and measuring the performance of the user and control planes


56


57

DSL

DSLAM: DSL Access Multiplexer


58

DSL Types


59

DSL Modem

The existing copper telephone network line connects the customer’s xDSL modem to a service provider model in the public network.

The xDSL modem can create the following three channel types: High-speed downstream channel ranging from 1.5 to 5.2

Mbps Medium-speed duplex channel ranging from 16 kbps to 2.3

Mbps POTS channel


60

DSL Equipments

DSL modem Connect the customer across the local loop to the

provider’s DSL access multiplexer (DSLAM) Support routing, switching, or firewall functionality

DSLAM Use statistical multiplexing to combine many DSL lines Support different types of DSL in a single central office

with additional features e.g. IP routing or DHCP


61

Advantages of DSL

Always on connection Simultaneous voice and data communications Higher speed than legacy V.92 modem Not require new wiring


62

Disadvantages of DSL

Limitation of distance ADSL, ADSL Lite, IDSL, RADSL, UDSL: 18,000 ft HDSL, FDSL 2: 12,000 ft SDSL: 10,000 ft VDSL: 4,500 ft

The achievable high-speed downstream data rate depends on Length of twisted-pair line Presence of bridged taps (repeaters) and load coils (filters)

from the old party-line days Cross-coupled interference from other lines


63

DSL Standards

The ANSI standard for ADSL is discrete multitone (DMT) DMT is a FDM that divides the data into 256 downstream and 32

upstream channels, each 4-kHz wide DMT constantly searches for the best channels for transmission and

reception and shifts the signals between the different channels QAM uses phase and amplitude modulation to create 16 different

channels Support two carriers having the same frequency buy differ in phase by

90 degrees Enable twice the rate of standard pulse amplitude modulation

CAP: a version of QAM divides signals on the telephone line into three distinct bands: Voice conversation: 0-4 kHz Upstream channel: 25-160 kHz Downstream channel: 240 kHz – 1.5 MHz

Cable Access Technologies

Enable people to view cable TV and get high-speed internet over the same (coax) access circuit


66

Coaxial Cable

Installed approx 60% of all homes in the US Less distance sensitive than DSL Coaxial cable is more resistant to interference

and attenuation than twisted-pair cabling Attenuation is the loss of signal strength, which

begins to occur as the signal travels further along a copper wire


67

Coaxial CableGround and protecting the core from electrical noise and crosstalk, a signal overflow from an adjacent wire


68

Two-way Cable System


69

Two-way Cable Operation (cont’d)

Coaxial cable can carry hundreds of MHz of signals Each TV signal is supported by a 6-MHz channel on the

cable High-end coaxial cable supports 550 MHz carrying 75 TV

channels Recently install fiber from cable headend to distribution

channel, then transmit signals through coaxial cable Fiber supports 750 MHz to support more channels and

high-speed Internet, cable telephony, and interactive video services


70

Two-way Cable System (cont’d)

To enable internet access, need to put data into a 6-MHz channel

The first user to connect to the Internet through a specific 6-MHz channel can use almost the entire bandwidth of that channel.

More users, performance drops Service provider resolve performance degradation by

adding a new channel and splitting the numbers of users on each channel

The average throughput is typically about 1 Mbps 2 types of equipments required

Cable modem on the customer end Cable-Modem Termination System (CMTS) at the cable

provider’s end


71

Equipment Associated with Cable Access

2 types of equipments required Cable modem on the customer end Cable-Modem Termination System (CMTS) at

the cable provider’s end


72

Cable Modem

A set-top box device that supports, Internet access, cable TV programming, and telephone access to the PSTN

Provide high-speed Internet access through a cable TV network on average of 3-50 Mbps and a distance of 100 kms

Use a tuner to separate data channels from cable TV programming


73

CMTS

CMTS Located at the cable provider’s headend CMTS inserts IP packets from the Internet into MPEG frames

and transmits them to the cable modems via an RF signal Similar to DSLAM acting as a multiplexer combining traffic

from multiple users onto a single channel A CMTS supports up to as many as 2,000 connections to the

Internet through a single 6-MHz channel Support both upstream and downstream

Upstream data is transferred from the customer in a separate division of time not used by other customers

Downstream data is supported much like an Ethernet LAN


74

CMTS (cont’d)

A CMTS performs packet format conversion and DHCP addressing. It may also provide routing, bridging, filtering and traffic shaping. The combiner merges the TV programming feeds with the RF data from the CMTS.

A CMTS may provide filtering to protect against theft of service and denial of service attacks or against hackers trying to break into the cable operator's system.

It may provide traffic shaping in order to guarantee a specified quality of service (QoS) to selected customers.

A CMTS may also provide bridging or routing capabilities.


75

CMTS (cont’d)


76

Cable Modem Standards

In the US, Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS) accepted by ITU in 1998 Has become ITU J.112

DOCSIS supports data services over a cable TV network using one 6-MHz channel in the 50-750 MHz spectrum range for downstream traffic the 5-42 MHz band for the upstream traffic

A DOCSIS-compliant CMTS enables customer PCs to dynamically obtain IP addresses by acting as a proxy and forwarding DHCP requests to DHCP servers.

Wireless Internet Access


82

Mobile Wireless

Cellular and analog network work using a hierarchical model consisting of base stations and antennas.

The area a base station covers is called a “cell” Macro cells are the largest of the cells and

provide extensive coverage, often first built to provide coverage

Micro cells support selected outdoor areas Pico cells are the smaller of the cells and are

built to provide capacity Usually cover the interior of buildings

Evolution of Cellular Technologies


85

Fixed Wireless Wireless local loop (WLL) using radio technology has been

implemented for places too expensive to wire such as mountain, swamp, and rural cluster areas.

Multichannel multipoint distribution system (MMDS) A line-of-sight service that operates in the 2.1-2.7 GHz frequency

range Use microwave channels to distribute a varied range of

telecommunications services to subscribers Support 6-MHz channels Can reach up to 70 miles in flat area

Local multipoint distribution service (LMDS) Allocated at 27.5-29.5 GHz Provide two-way wireless cable TV and high-speed data service Similar to MMDA but use higher frequencies and has higher

transmission capacity Require only 6-inch antenna, but must be within 3-5 miles of the

subscriber’s house
