xDSL Technologies (I)

• Digital Subscriber Line.

• Voice, uplink and downlink.• Bandwidths and bitrates depends on X Technology.• NQAM channels.

xDSL Technologies (II)

• Based on existing infrastructure.• Twisted pair.

• From User Access Point to the cabinet.

UDSL HDSL

VDSL SHDSL

RADSL IDSL5

ADSL

• Asymmetric DSL.• Uplink: From 25KHz to 131KHz.• Downlink: From 131KHz to 1,1MHz.

• Basic version bitrate up to 2Mbps.• New ADSL technologies and Extended spectrum.• Up to 1Gbps (In development by Huawei).

Simplifications

• Causes:• High computational load.• Configuration complexity.• Simulink limitations.

• Applied simplifications:• From 256 carriers to 4 carriers.• Error Detection and correction blocks were omitted.• One-way channel.

Initialization function

• Complete model configuration.• Carrier frequencies.• Twister pair parameters.• Etc…

• Let’s get a glimpse of it…

• NQAM demodulator Inverse process.10

Block diagram: Channel (I)

• Channel response.• From twisted pair equations.

• Modeled by an arbitrary magnitude FIR filter block.

Conclusions

• ADSL still is a highly competitive technology.

• Our system is completely functional.• Even taking into account the applied simplifications.

• Due to the Initialization Function many different scenarios can be simulated.• It can be adapted to other xDSL technologies.

17

Conclusions

• Simulink is a great tool for system modeling.• Though, it has important limitations.• High computational requirements for fast simulations.• The configuration of systems is really constrained.

• The methodology in which this homework is based on is useful to develop skills highly valued in a typical engineer profile.
