    Multiplexing

    Multiplexing (also known as muxing) is a method by which multiple

    analog message signals or digital data streams are combined into onesignal over a shared medium.

    Space-Division Multiplexing (SDM)-

    simply implies different point-to-point wires for different channels.

    Analogue stereo audio cable ( Multi pair telephone cable)

    Switched star network( analog telephone access network)

    Mesh network.

    Wired space-division multiplexing is typically not considered as multiplexing.Space-Division Multiplexing is achieved by multiple antenna elements forming

    a phased array antenna.

    Frequency-division multiplexing (FDM)

    Assignment of non-overlapping frequency ranges to each user or signal ona medium. Thus, all signals are transmitted at the same time, each using

    different frequencies.

    A multiplexor accepts inputs and assigns frequencies to each device.

    Time-division multiplexing (TDM) is a type of digital (or

    rarely analog) multiplexing in which two or more bit streams or signalsare transferred apparently simultaneously as sub-channels in one

    communication channel, but are physically taking turns on the channel.

    Types of Multiplexing

    The time domain is divided into several recurrent time slots of fixed

    length, one for each sub-channel

    Code-division multiplexing(CDM)- is a technique in which each channel

    transmits its bits as a coded channel-specific sequence of pulses. This codedtransmission typically is accomplished by transmitting a unique time-

    dependent series of short pulses, which are placed within chip times within the

    larger bit time.

    All channels, each with a different code, can be transmitted on the same fiber and

    asynchronously demultiplxed Allows numerous signals to occupy a single

    transmission channel, optimizing the use of available bandwidth,

    PDH

    Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy

    The PDH high capacity transmission networks are based

    on a hierarchy of digital multiplexed signals: E.1 to E.4.

    The basic building block is the primary rate of 2.048 Mb/s(E.1). This could be made up of 30 x 64 Kb/s voice

    channels. This would then be multiplexed up to a higher

    rate for high capacity transmission.

    SDH Basics

    Introduction

    SDH (Synchronous Digital Hierarchy) is a standard for

    telecommunications transport

    Specification are written by ITU-T

    First Introduced into the telecommunication networks in 1992

    Based on overlaying a synchronous multiplexed signal onto a

    light stream transmitted over fibre-optic cable.

    SDH is also defined for use on radio relay links, satellite links,

    and at electrical interfaces between equipment.

    Advantages of SDH

    A reduction in the amount of equipment and an increase in

    network reliability.

    The provision of overhead and payload bytes the overhead

    bytes permitting management of the payload bytes on an

    individual basis and facilitating centralized fault sectionalization

    The definition of a synchronous multiplexing format for carrying

    lower-level digital signals (such as 2 Mbit/s, 34 Mbit/s, 140Mbit/s) which greatly simplifies the interface to digital switches,

    digital cross-connects, and add-drop multiplexers.

    The availability of a set of generic standards, which enable multi-

    vendor interoperability.

    The definition of a flexible architecture capable of

    accommodating future applications, with a variety of

    transmission rates.

    SDH Signal

    The basic format of an SDH signal allows it to carry manydifferent services in its Virtual Container (VC) because it is

    bandwidth-flexible.

    This capability allows for such things as the transmission of

    high-speed packet-switched services, ATM, contribution

    video, and distribution video. However, SDH still permits

    transport and networking at the 2 Mbit/s, 34 Mbit/s, and 140

    Mbit/s levels, accommodating the existing digital hierarchy

    signals.

    In addition, SDH supports the transport of signals based onthe 1.5 Mbit/s hierarchy.

    SDH Pointers

    SDH provides payload pointers to permit differences in thephase and frequency of the Virtual Containers (VC-N) with

    respect to the STM-N frame. Lower-order pointers are also

    provided to permit phase differences between VC-1/VC-2 and

    the higher-order VC-3/VC-4.

    On a frame-by-frame basis, the payload pointer indicates the

    offset between the VC payload and the STM-N frame by

    identifying the location of the first byte of the VC in the

    payload. In other words, the VC is allowed to float within

    the STM-1 frame capacity.

    SDH need to be highly reliable (five nines)

    Down-time should be minimal (less than 50 msec)

    So systems must repair themselves (no time for manual intervention)

    Upon detection of a failure (dLOS, dLOF, high BER)

    the network must reroute traffic (protection switching)from working channel to protection channel

    The Network Element that detects the failure (tail-end NE)initiates the protection switching

    The head-end NE must change forwarding or to send duplicate traffic

    Protection switching is unidirectionalProtection switching may be revertive (automatically revert to working channel)

    How does it work?

    Head-end and tail-end NEs have bridges (muxes)

    Head-end and tail-end NEs maintain bidirectional signaling channel

    Signaling is contained in K1 and K2 bytes ofprotection channel

    High transmission rates Transmission rates up to 40Gbit/s can be achieved in modern SDH

    systems. SDH is therefore the most suitable technology for backbones,which can be considered as being the super highways in todaystelecommunications networks.

    Simplified add & drop function Compared with the older PDH systems, it is much easier to extract and

    insert low-bit rate channels from or into the high-speed bit streams inSDH. It is no longer necessary to de multiplex and then re multiplexthe plesiochronous structure, a complex and costly procedure at thebest of the times.

    High availability and capacity matching With SDH, network providers can react quickly and easily to the

    requirements of their customers. For example, leased lines can beswitched in a matter of minutes. The network provider can usestandardized network elements that can be controlled and monitoredfrom the central location by means of a telecommunication networkmanagement (TMN) system.

    Advantages of SDH

  • 7/29/2019 Part 3. Multiplexing PDH SDH

    40/59

    Reliability Modern SDH networks include various automatic back-up and repair

    mechanisms to cope with system faults. Failure of a link or an networkelement does not lead to failure of the entire network which could bea financial disaster for the network provider.

    These back-up circuits are also monitored by a management system.

    Future-proof platform for new services

    Right now, SDH is the ideal platform for services ranging from POTS,ISDN and mobile radio through to data communications (LAN, WAN,etc.), and it is able to handle the very latest services, such as video ondemand and digital video broadcasting via ATM that are graduallyestablished.

    Interconnection SDH makes it much easier to setup gateways between different

    network providers and to SONET systems. The SDH interfaces areglobally standardized, making it possible to combine networkelements from different manufacturers into a network. The result is areduction in equipment costs as compared with PDH.

    Line BIP-24 (B2)

    Bit interleaved Parity-24 (BIP-

    24) is used for multiplex

    section error monitoring. The

    B2 Bytes contains the result of theparity check of the previous STM

    frame, except the RSOH, before

    scrambling of the actual STM

    frame. This check is carried out

    with a Bit Interleaved Parity check
