PREFACE

We cannot achieve anything worthwhile in the field of technical education until or unless

theoretical education acquired in classroom is effectively wedded to its practical approach that is

taking place in the modern industries and other means of technical application, the technical

education is of equal proportions of practical and theoretical study. The six month training taken

at the RTTC Rajpura as a part of my practical study was a wonderful learning experience for me.

I was fortunate enough to see the infrastructure built by BSNL for the service of trainee. In the

period of training I was able to interact with many trainees which enhance my communication

skill as a part of whole.

I also observed fiber splicing and STM -1 operation and maintenance in transmission, in the

RTTC during project session of my training. Further the experience of working in a competitive

environment was also a major boon.

This report is a brief of learning experience at RTTC in transmission. In transmission section

STM-1 (SDH based equipment) installation & maintenance gives provide basis for

understanding of higher order multiplexing equipments.

1 INTRODUCTION TO OPTICAL FIBER CABLE

Optical fiber

An optical fiber (or fiber) is a glass or plastic fiber that carries light along its length.

Fiber optics is the overlap of applied science and engineering concerned with the design and

application of optical fibers. Optical fibers are widely used in fiber-optic communications, which

permits transmission over longer distances and at higher data rates (bandwidth) than other forms

of communications. Fibers are used instead of metal wires because signals travel along them

with less loss, and they are also immune to electromagnetic interference. Fibers are also used for

illumination, and are wrapped in bundles so they can be used to carry images, thus allowing

viewing in tight spaces. Specially designed fibers are used for a variety of other applications,

including sensors and fiber lasers.

OFC Cable

An optical fiber cable is a cable containing one or more optical fibers. The optical fiber

elements are typically individually coated with plastic layers and contained in a protective tube

suitable for the environment where the cable will be deployed.

In practical fibers, the cladding is usually coated with a tough resin buffer layer, which may be

further surrounded by a jacket layer, usually plastic. These layers add strength to the fiber but do

not contribute to its optical wave guide properties. Rigid fiber assemblies sometimes put light-

absorbing ("dark") glass between the fibers, to prevent light that leaks out of one fiber from

entering another. This reduces cross-talk between the fibers, or reduces flare in fiber bundle

imaging applications.

1.1 PRINCIPLE OF FIBER OPTICS

Total Internal Reflection - The Reflection that Occurs when a Ligh Ray Travelling in One

Material Hits a Different Material and Reflects Back into the Original Material without any Loss

of Light.

Page 14: bsnl rajpura

14

Speed of light is actually the velocity of electromagnetic energy in vacuum such as space.

Light travels at slower velocities in other materials such as glass. Light travelling from one

material to another changes speed, which results in light changing its direction of travel. This

deflection of light is called Refraction.

The amount that a ray of light passing from a lower refractive index to a higher one is

bent towards the normal. But light going from a higher index to a lower one refracting away

from the normal,

1.2 PROPAGATION OF LIGHT THROUGH FIBER

The optical fiber has two concentric layers called the core and the cladding. The inner

core is the light carrying part. The surrounding cladding provides the difference refractive index

that allows total internal reflection of light through the core. The index of the cladding is less

than 1%, lower than that of the core. Typical values for example are a core refractive index of

1.47 and a cladding index of 1.46. Fiber manufacturers control this difference to obtain desired

optical fiber characteristics.

Figure1.1 light travelling through a fiber

Light injected into the fiber and striking core to cladding interface at greater than the

critical angle, reflects back into core, since the angle of incidence and reflection are equal, the

reflected light will again be reflected. The light will continue zigzagging down the length of the

fiber.

Page 15: bsnl rajpura

15

Light striking the interface at less than the critical angle passes into the cladding, where it

is lost over distance. The cladding is usually inefficient as a light carrier, and light in the

cladding becomes attenuated fairly. Propagation of light through fiber is governed by the indices

of the core and cladding by Snell's law.

Such total internal reflection forms the basis of light propagation through a optical fiber.

This analysis consider only meridional rays- those that pass through the fiber axis each time, they

are reflected. Other rays called Skew rays travel down the fiber without passing through the axis.

The path of a skew ray is typically helical wrapping around and around the central axis.

Fortunately skew rays are ignored in most fiber optics analysis.

The specific characteristics of light propagation through a fiber depends on many factors,

including

The size of the fiber.

The composition of the fiber.

The light injected into the fiber.

1.3 TRANSMISSION SEQUENCE

(1) Information is Encoded into Electrical Signals.

(2) Electrical Signals are Converted into light Signals.

(3) Light Travels Down the Fiber.

(4) A Detector Changes the Light Signals into Electrical Signals.

(5) Electrical Signals are Decoded into Information.

1.6 LOSES OCCURE IN FIBER

1.6.1 ATTENUATION

Attenuation is defined as the loss of optical power over a set distance, a fiber with lower

attenuation will allow more power to reach a receiver than fiber with higher attenuation.

Attenuation may be categorized as intrinsic or extrinsic.

INTRINSIC ATTENUATION

It is loss due to inherent or within the fiber. Intrinsic attenuation may occur as

Absorption - Natural Impurities in the glass absorb light energy.

Scattering - Light rays travelling in the core reflect from small imperfections into a new

pathway that may be lost through the cladding.

EXTRINSIC ATTENUATION

It is loss due to external sources. Extrinsic attenuation may occur as –

Macro bending - The fiber is sharply bent so that the light travelling down the fiber cannot

make the turn & is lost in the cladding.

Micro bending - Micro bending or small bends in the fiber caused by crushing contraction

etc. These bends may not be visible with the naked eye.

Attenuation is measured in decibels (dB). A dB represents the comparison between the

transmitted and received power in a system.

Page 18: bsnl rajpura

18

1.6.2 DISPERSION

Dispersion is the spreading of light pulse as its travels down the length of an optical fiber.

Dispersion limits the bandwidth or information carrying capacity of a fiber. The bit-rates must be

low enough to ensure that pulses are farther apart and therefore the greater dispersion can be

tolerated.

There are three main types of dispersion in a fiber -

a) Modal Dispersion

b) Material dispersion

c) Waveguide dispersion

1.7 OFC SPLICING

Splices

Splices are permanent connection between two fibers. The splicing involves cutting of the edges

of the two fibers to be spliced.

Splicing Methods

The following three types are widely used

1) Adhesive bonding or Glue splicing.

2) Mechanical splicing.

3) Fusion splicing.

1. Adhesive Bonding or Glue Splicing

This is the oldest splicing technique used in fiber splicing. Cylindrical rods or another kind of

reference surfaces are used for alignment. During the alignment of fiber end, a small amount of

adhesive or glue of same refractive index as the core material is set between and around the fiber

ends. A two component epoxy or an UV curable adhesive is used as the bonding agent. The

Page 19: bsnl rajpura

19

splice loss of this type of joint is same or less than fusion splices. But fusion splicing technique is

more reliable, so at present this technique is very rarely used.

2. Mechanical Splicing

This technique is mainly used for temporary splicing in case of emergency repairing. This

method is also convenient to connect measuring instruments to bare fibers for taking various

measurements. A very good mechanical splice for M.M. fibers can have an optical performance

as good as fusion spliced fiber or glue spliced. But in case of single mode fiber, this type of

splice cannot have stability of loss.

3. Fusion Splicing

The fusion splicing technique is the most popular technique used for achieving very low splice

losses. The fusion can be achieved either through electrical arc or through gas flame. The process

involves cutting of the fibers and fixing them in micro–positioners on the fusion splicing

machine. The fibers are then aligned either manually or automatically core aligning process.

Afterwards the operation that takes place involve withdrawal of the fibers to a specified distance,

preheating of the fiber ends through electric arc and bringing together of the fiber ends in a

position and splicing through high temperature fusion.

If proper care taken and splicing is done strictly as per schedule, then the splicing loss can be

minimized as low as 0.01 dB/joint. After fusion splicing, the splicing joint should be provided

with a proper protector to have following protections

Mechanical protection

Protection from moisture.

Page 20: bsnl rajpura

1.8 FIBER SPLICING

Splicer Operation

It is awkward at first to hold, strip, cleave and place the fiber in the clamps. Practice makes

perfect. Here are five general steps to complete a fusion splice

Strip, Clean, & Cleave

a. Strip

Strip fiber to appropriate length per your splicer's instruction manual

b. Cleaning

Clean the fiber with Fiber-Clean towelettes or a lint-free wipe and isopropyl alcohol so that the

fiber squeaks

c. Cleaving

Place fiber (after stripping and cleaning it) in cleaver using the fiber guide to position. It align the

fiber in the cleave area to cleave at the proper length Depress the cleaver arm gently. Remove

and safely discard the fiber scrap.

Page 21: bsnl rajpura

21

2. Load Splicer

Position tip of fiber near electrodes. Do not bump tips into anything. Ease placement by bowing

fibers in groove

3. Splice Fibers

Read The Manual. Place first cleaved fiber in v-groove with fiber tip near the electrodes

Close the fiber clamps Repeat on opposite side for second fiber. Select program on fusion

splicer. Initiate fuse cycle (can be manual or automatic)

4. Remove and Protect Splice

Remove completed splice from splice area .Use Heat-Shrink oven (or mechanical protection) to

protect the splice Place splice tray in adjustable tray holder and insert protected splice into splice

2 INTRODUCTION TO TRANSMISSION SYSTEM

A long distance or local telephone conversation between two persons could be provided

by using a pair of open wire lines or underground cable as early as early as mid of 19th century.

However, due to fast industrial development and an increased telephone awareness,

demand for trunk and local traffic went on increasing at a rapid rate. To cater to the increased

demand of traffic between two stations or between two subscribers at the same station we

resorted to the use of an increased number of pairs on either the open wire alignment, or in

underground cable. This could solve the problem for some time only as there is a limit to the

number of open wire pairs that can be installed on one alignment due to headway

consideration and maintenance problems.

Similarly increasing the number of open wire pairs that can be installed on one alignment

due to headway consideration and maintenance problems. Similarly increasing the number of

pairs to the underground cable is uneconomical and leads to maintenance problems.

It, therefore, became imperative to think of new technical innovations which could exploit

the available bandwidth of transmission media such as open wire lines or underground cables to

provide more number of circuits on one pair. The techniques used to provide a number of

circuits using a single transmission link is called Multiplexing.

2.1 MULTIPLEXING TECHNIQUES

There are basically two types of multiplexing techniques

Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM)

Time Division Multiplexing (TDM)

Frequency Division Multiplexing Techniques (FDM)

The FDM techniques is the process of translating individual speech circuits (300-3400

Hz) into pre-assigned frequency slots within the bandwidth of the transmission medium. The

frequency translation is done by amplitude modulation of the audio frequency with an

appropriate carrier frequency. At the output of the modulator a filter network is connected to

Page 23: bsnl rajpura

23

select either a lower or an upper side band. Since the intelligence is carried in either side band,

single side band suppressed carrier mode of AM is used. This results in substantial saving of

bandwidth mid also permits the use of low power amplifiers.

Time Division Multiplexing (TDM)

Time division multiplexing involves nothing more than sharing a transmission medium

by a number of circuits in time domain by establishing a sequence of time slots during which

individual channels (circuits) can be transmitted. Thus the entire bandwidth is periodically

available to each channel. Normally all time slots1 are equal in length. Each channel is assigned

a time slot with a specific common repetition period called a frame interval.

2.2 BASIC REQUIREMENTS FOR PCM SYSTEM

To develop a PCM signal from several analogue signals, the following processing steps are

required

Filtering

Sampling

Quantization

Encoding

Line Coding

FILTERING

Filters are used to limit the speech signal to the frequency band 300-3400 Hz.

SAMPLING

It is the most basic requirement for TDM. Suppose we have an analogue signal.

The amplitude of the sample is depending upon the amplitude of the input signal at the instant of

sampling. The duration of these sampled pulses is equal to the duration for which the switch S is

Page 24: bsnl rajpura

24

closed. Minimum number of samples are to be sent for any band limited signal to get a good

approximation of the original analogue signal and the same is defined by the sampling Theorem.

i.e. Fs>2Fh.

QUANTISATION

The process of measuring the numerical values of the samples and giving them a table value

in a suitable scale is called "Quantizing". Of course, the scales and the number of points should

be so chosen that the signal could be effectively reconstructed after demodulation.

Quantizing, in other words, can be defined as a process of breaking down a continuous

amplitude range into a finite number of amplitude values or steps.

ENCODING

Conversion of quantized analogue levels to binary signal is called encoding. To represent 256

steps, 8 level codes are required. The eight bit code is also called an eight bit "word".

The 8 bit word appears in the form

P ABC WXYZ

Polarity bit „1‟ Segment Code Linear encoding

for + ve 'O' for - ve. In the segment

The first bit gives the sign of the voltage to be coded. Next 3 bits gives the segment number.

There are 8 segments for the positive voltages and 8 for negative voltages. Last 4 bits give the

position in the segment. Each segment contains 16 positions.

LINE CODING

Line codec chips converts the encoded signal into HDB code which is compatible for transmit

over channel.

Page 25: bsnl rajpura

2.3 OVERVIEW OF PDH AND SDH

With the introduction of PCM technology in the 1960s, communications networks were

gradually converted to digital technology over the next few years. To cope with the demand for

ever higher bit rates, a multiplex hierarchy called the plesiochronous digital hierarchy (PDH)

evolved. The bit rates start with the basic multiplex rate of 2 Mbit/s with further stages of 8, 34

and 140 Mbit/s. In North America and Japan, the primary rate is 1.5 Mbit/s. Hierarchy stages of

6 and 44 Mbit/s developed from this. Because of these very different developments, gateways

between one network and another were very difficult and expensive to realize. PCM allows

multiple use of a single line by means of digital time-domain multiplexing. The analog telephone

signal is sampled at a bandwidth of 3.1 kHz, quantized and encoded and then transmitted at a bit

rate of 64 kbit/s. A transmission rate of 2048 kbit/s results when 30 such coded channels are

collected together into a frame along with the necessary signaling information. This so-called

primary rate is used throughout the world. Only the USA, Canada and Japan use a primary rate

of 1544 kbit/s, formed by combining 24 channels instead of 30. The growing demand for more

bandwidth meant that more stages of multiplexing were needed throughout the world. A

practically synchronous (or, to give it its proper name plesiochronous) digital hierarchy is the

result. Slight differences in timing signals mean that justification or stuffing is necessary when

forming the multiplexed signals. Inserting or dropping an individual 64 kbit/s channel to or from

a higher digital hierarchy requires a considerable amount of complex multiplexer equipment.

Page 26: bsnl rajpura

26

Fig.2.1 Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchies (PDH)

Traditionally, digital transmission systems and hierarchies have been based on multiplexing

signals which are plesiochronous (running at almost the same speed). Also, various parts of the

world use different hierarchies which lead to problems of international interworking; for

example, between those countries using 1.544 Mbit/s systems (U.S.A. and Japan) and those

using the 2.048 Mbit/s systems. To recover a 64 kbit/s channel from a 140 Mbit/s PDH signal,

it‟s necessary to demultiplex the signal all the way down to the 2 Mbit/s level before the location

of the 64 kbit/s channel can be identified. PDH requires “steps” (140-34, 34-8, 8-2 demultiplex;

2-8, 8-34, 34-140 multiplex) to drop out or add an individual speech or data channel (see Figure

1).

The main problems of PDH systems are

1. Homogeneity of equipment

2. Problem of Channel segregation

3. The problem cross connection of channels

Page 27: bsnl rajpura

27

4. Inability to identify individual channels in a higher-order bit stream.

5. Insufficient capacity for network management;

6. Most PDH network management is proprietary.

7. There‟s no standardised definition of PDH bit rates greater than 140 Mbit/s.

8. There are different hierarchies in use around the world. Specialized interface equipment

is required to interwork the two hierarchies.

1988 SDH standard introduced with three major goals

– Avoid the problems of PDH

– Achieve higher bit rates (Gbit/s)

– Better means for Operation, Administration, and Maintenance (OA&M)

SDH is an ITU-T standard for a high capacity telecom network. SDH is a synchronous

digital transport system, aim to provide a simple, economical and flexible telecom infrastructure.

The basis of Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) is synchronous multiplexing - data from

multiple tributary sources is byte interleaved.

SDH brings the following advantages to network providers

High transmission rates

Transmission rates of up to 40 Gbit/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 today's telecommunications networks.

Simplified add & drop function

Compared with the older PDH system, it is much easier to extract and insert low-bit rate

channels from or into the high-speed bit streams in SDH. It is no longer necessary to demultiplex

and then remultiplex the plesiochronous structure.

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 be switched in a matter of minutes. The network

Page 28: bsnl rajpura

28

provider can use standardized network elements that can be controlled and monitored from a

central location by means of a telecommunications network management (TMN) system.

Reliability

Modern SDH networks include various automatic back-up and repair mechanisms to cope with

system faults. Failure of a link or a network element does not lead to failure of the entire network

which could be a 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 on demand and digital video broadcasting via ATM that are gradually

becoming established.

Interconnection

SDH makes it much easier to set up gateways between different network providers and to

SONET systems. The SDH interfaces are globally standardized, making it possible to combine

network elements from different manufacturers into a network. The result is a reduction in

equipment costs as compared with PDH.

Network Elements of SDH

Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of a SDH ring structure with various tributaries. The mixture of

different applications is typical of the data transported by SDH. Synchronous networks must be

able to transmit plesiochronous signals and at the same time be capable of handling future

services such as ATM.

Current SDH networks are basically made up from four different types of network element. The

topology (i.e. ring or mesh structure) is governed by the requirements of the network provider.

Regenerators

Regenerators as the name implies, have the job of regenerating the clock and amplitude

relationships of the incoming data signals that have been attenuated and distorted by dispersion.

Page 29: bsnl rajpura

29

They derive their clock signals from the incoming data stream. Messages are received by

extracting various 64 kbit/s channels (e.g. service channels E1, F1) in the RSOH (regenerator

section overhead). Messages can also be output using these channels.

Terminal Multiplexer

Terminal multiplexers are used to combine plesiochronous and synchronous input signals into

higher bit rate STM-N signals.

Fig.2.2 Schematic diagram of hybrid communications networks

Add/drop Multiplexers (ADM)

Add/drop multiplexers (ADM) Plesiochronous and lower bit rate synchronous signals can be

extracted from or inserted into high speed SDH bit streams by means of ADMs. This feature

makes it possible to set up ring structures, which have the advantage that automatic back-up path

switching is possible using elements in the ring in the event of a fault.

Page 30: bsnl rajpura

Digital Cross-connect

Digital cross-connects (DXC) This network element has the widest range of functions. It allows

mapping of PDH tributary signals into virtual containers as well as switching of various

containers up to and including VC-4.

Network Element Manager

Network element management The telecommunications management network (TMN) is

considered as a further element in the synchronous network. All the SDH network elements

mentioned so far are software-controlled. This means that they can be monitored and remotely

controlled, one of the most important features of SDH. Network management is described in

more detail in the section “TMN in the SDH network”

SDH Rates

SDH is a transport hierarchy based on multiples of 155.52 Mbit/s. The basic unit of SDH is

STM-1. Different SDH rates are given below

STM-1 = 155.52 Mbit/s

STM-4 = 622.08 Mbit/s

STM-16 = 2588.32 Mbit/s

STM-64 = 9953.28 Mbit/s

Each rate is an exact multiple of the lower rate therefore the hierarchy is synchronous.

2.4 SDH HIERARCHY

SDH defines a multiplexing hierarchy that allows all existing PDH rates to be transported

synchronously.

The following diagram shows these multiplexing paths.

Page 31: bsnl rajpura

31

Fig.2.3 Synchronous Digital Hierarchy

Multiplex unit A basic SDH multiplex unit includes multiple containers (C-n), virtual containers

(VC-n), tributary units (TU-n), tributary unit groups (TUG-n), administrative units (AUn) and

administrative unit groups (AUG-n), where n is the hierarchical sequence number of unit level.

Container Information structure unit that carries service signals at different rates. G.709 defines

the criteria for five standard containers C-11, C-12, C-2, C-3 and C-4.

Virtual container (VC) Information structure unit supporting channel layer connection of SDH.

It terminates an SDH channel. VC is divided into lower-order and higher-order VCs. VC-4 and

VC-3 in AU-3 are higher-order virtual containers.

Tributary unit (TU) and tributary unit group (TUG) TU is the information structure that

provides adaptation between higher-order and lower-order channel layers. TUG is a set of one or

more TUs whose location is fixed in higher-order VC payload.

Administrative unit (AU) and administrative unit group (AUG) AU is the information structure

that provides adaptation between higher-order channel layer and multiplex section layer. AUG is

a set of one or more AUs whose locations are fixed in the payload of STM-N.

Page 32: bsnl rajpura

2.5 THE STM-1 FRAME FORMAT

The standardized SDH transmission frames, called Synchronous Transport Modules of Nth

hierarchical level (STM-N).

A frame with a bit rate of 155.52 Mbit/s is defined in ITU-T Recommendation

G.707. This frame is called the synchronous transport module (STM). Since the frame is the first

level of the synchronous digital hierarchy, it is known as STM-1. Figure 2 shows the format of

this frame. It is made up from a byte matrix of 9 rows and 270 columns. Transmission is row by

row, starting with the byte in the upper left corner and ending with the byte in the lower right

corner. The frame repetition rate is 125 ms., each byte in the payload represents a 64 kbit/s

channel. The STM-1 frame is capable of transporting any PDH tributary signal.

The first 9 bytes in each of the 9 rows are called the overhead. G.707 makes a distinction

between the regenerator section overhead (RSOH) and the multiplex section overhead (MSOH).

The reason for this is to be able to couple the functions of certain overhead bytes to the network

architecture. The table below describes the individual functions of the bytes.

4 CONFIGURATION APPLICATION AND PERFORMANCE

4.-3 NETWORK TOPOLOGIES

Topology is the layout pattern of interconnections of the various elements (links, nodes,

etc.) of a computer network. Network topologies may be physical or logical. Physical topology

means the physical design of a network including the devices, location and cable installation.

Logical topology refers to how data is actually transferred in a network as opposed to its physical

design.

STM-1 can work with any topology given below

Point to point topology.

Star topology.

Bus topology.

Ring topology.

But point to point and ring topology is commonly used in STM networks. Few of above

topologies are explained below.

POINT TO POINT TOPOLOGY

Figure4.1 Point to point topology

Page 46: bsnl rajpura

46

Point to point topology is used between the two systems in which both are connected to each

other. It is used at the edge of network.

RING TOPOLOGY

Ring topology is used at the core of the communication network. In present days we are using

this topology in our core networks. Figure 4.2 shows ring of three systems

Figure 4.2 Ring topology

CROSS-CONNECTION

Cross Connection is important function of STM-1 Equipment. By using this function we can

connect PCMs of one station to PCMs of another station. For example 1st PCM of Patiala station

can be connect to 7th PCM of Rajpura station.

To perform these function we must following.

Shelf View---Cross-Connection---Select Output Port---Configure---Select Input Port---

Apply

Page 47: bsnl rajpura

47

Now connections are established.

Figure 4.3 Establishment of STM-1 ring (Main Path)

We can also give the protection path, if working path has been failed.

Goto Configure---Protection---Protection Input Port---Apply

Page 48: bsnl rajpura

48

Figure 4.4 Establishment of STM-1 ring (Protection Path)

Another important function in cross connection is multiple connections. By using this function

we can connect more than 1 PCM to another station‟s PCM. For established multiple

connections we must following.

Cross-Connection--- Multiple Connection---Select OLT Card---Select N-PCM Output Port-

--Select Starting Input Port---Apply

Now multiple connections are established. We can also give them protective path by using

protection function of cross connection.

Each cross-connection is defined by its parameters

Output port Connection Destination End (Slot name and port number of selected card)

Page 49: bsnl rajpura

49

Mode Unidirectional or Bi-directional

Input port Connection Origin End (Slot name and port number)

VC-n type Either VC4, VC3 or VC12

Protection Connection Origin End (Slot name and port number), if SNC protection is used.

Status Working or protection according to channel which is carrying traffic.

Similarly after completing the connection at one station, the same type of connections are made

at another station and the third station is just bye passed in order to provide the protection path

and complete the ring.

5 ETHERNET ON SDH

Next Generation SDH enables operators to provide more data transport services while increasing

the efficiency of installed SDH/SONET base, by adding just the new edge nodes, sometime

known as Multi Service Provisioning Platforms (MSPP) / Multi Service Switching Platforms

(MSSP), can offer a Combination of data interfaces such as Ethernet, 8B/10B, MPLS (Multi

Protocol Label Switching) or RPR (Resilient Packet Ring), without removing those for

SDH/PDH. This means that it will not be necessary to install an overlap network or migrating all

the nodes or fiber optics. This reduces the cost per bit delivered, and will attract new customers

while keeping legacy services. In addition, in order to make data transport more efficient,

SDH/SONET has adopted a new set of protocols that are being installed on the MSPP/MSPP

nodes. These nodes can be interconnected with the old equipment that is still running.

5.1 VARIOUS FEATURES OF THE NEXT GENERATION SDH

5.1.1 GENERIC FRAMING PROCEDURE (GFP)

Generic Framing Procedure (GFP), an all-purpose protocol for encapsulating packet over

SONET (POS), ATM, and other Layer 2 traffic on to SONET/SDH networks. GFP is defined in

ITU-T G.7041 along with virtual concatenation and link capacity adjustment scheme (LCAS)

transforms legacy SDH networks to Next generation SDH networks.

There are actually two types of GFP mechanisms ;-

1. PDU-oriented known as Frame mapped GFP (GFP-F)

2. Block-code-oriented known as Transparent GFP (GFP-T)

1. GFP-F -

GFP-F(Framed) is a layer 2 encapsulation in variable sized frames. Optimised for data packet

protocols such as DVD, PPP and Ethernet, MPLS etc Frame mode supports rate adaptation and

Page 54: bsnl rajpura

54

multiplexing at the packet/frame level for traffic engineering. This mode maps entire client frame

into one GFP frames of constant length but gaps are discarded. The frame is stored first in buffer

prior to encapsulation to determine its length. This introduces delay and latency.

Figure 5.1Functional model of NG-SDH

2. GFP-T

GFP-T is useful for delay sensitive services. GFP-T(Transparent) is a layer 1

encapsulation in constant sized frames. Optimized for traffic based on 8B/10B codification such

as VoIP, DVB-ASI, 1000BASE-T, SAN, Fiber Channel, and ESCON.

5.1.1 CONCATENATION (V-CAT & C-CAT)

SDH concatenation consists of linking more than one VCs to each other to obtain a rate that does

not form part of standard rates. Concatenation is used to transport pay loads that do not fit

efficiently into standard set of VCs.

Two concatenation schemes are

Contiguous concatenation

Virtual concatenation

Page 55: bsnl rajpura

55

i. Contiguous concatenation

The traditional method of concatenation is termed as contiguous. This means that adjacent

containers are combined and transported across the SDH network as one container. Contiguous

concatenation is a pointer based concatenation. It consists of linking N number of VCs to each

other in a logical manner within the higher order entity i.e. VC4 and above. The concatenated

VCs remain in phase at any point of network. The disadvantage is that it requires functionality at

every N/E adding cost and complexity. Lower order VCs (VC-12, VC3) concatenation is not

possible in contiguous concatenation .

ii. Virtual Concatenation

Virtual concatenation maps individual containers in to a virtually concatenated link. Any number

of containers can be grouped together, which provides better bandwidth granularity than using a

contiguous method. It combines a number of lower/higher order VCs (VC-12, VC3 & VC4

payload) that form a larger concatenation Group, and each VC is treated as a member. 10 Mb

Ethernet would be made up of five VC-12s, creating these finely tuned SDH pipes of variable

capacities improve both, scalability and data handling/controlling ability as per SLA (service

level agreement).

5.1.2 LINK CAPACITY ADJUSTMENT SCHEME (LCAS)

Link Capacity Adjustment Scheme (LCAS) is an emerging SONET/SDH standard and is defined

in ITU-T G.7042 having capability to dynamically change the amount of bandwidth used in a

virtually concatenated channel i.e. bandwidth management flexibility. LCAS is bi-directional

signaling protocol exchanged over the overhead bytes, between Network Elements that

continually monitors the link. LCAS can dynamically change VCAT path sizes, as well as

automatically recover from path failures. LCAS is the key to provide “bandwidth on demand”.

Page 56: bsnl rajpura

56

Benefits of LCAS-

Call by call bandwidth (Bandwidth on demand)

Bandwidth on Schedule

5.2 4E/FE CARD

The SDH bandwidth can be divided among separate connections to match fine requirements with

great flexibility and with optimal usage of the STM1 link.

The 4E/FE can terminate a combination of VC3 and VC12 connections up to an aggregated

bandwidth of 1 STM1. Multiple VC3 or VC12 connections are grouped together in a VC Group

(VCG) with Virtual Concatenation. The VC members of a given VCG do not need to be

contiguous. They do not need to take the same path across the SDH core network either. The

bandwidth of a VCG VC3-nV is n times the bandwidth of 1 VC3. The bandwidth of a VCG

VC12-nV is n times the bandwidth of 1 VC12.

6 RESULT AND CONCLUSION

Although Hi-tech techniques like SDH making the world smaller these days, but these are not

going to fulfill the requirements of future generation. These techniques are lack of speed,

intelligence and efficiency which wouldn‟t be tolerable in the future. Future generation would

require more data rates and error less transmission which wouldn‟t be fulfilled by the present

technologies. In future every technology will be going to be IP based with introduction of IPv6

which offers us with huge number of IP addresses so that these present technologies has to either

modified or completely eliminated to make it compatible with IP based system demand. In case

of wireless technologies 2G i.e. GSM support only 9.6Kbps which we very small which does not

support essential VAS related to data services. In switching, circuit switching is not going to

support high switch rates and high traffic rates in future.

Page 62: bsnl rajpura

62

7 FUTURE TRENDS

In future huge data rates will require in transmission media, of course media as optical fiber will

not change but technology like SDH has to modify. A modified version of the SDH as DWDM,

RPR, MLLN technology which consist of the optical multiplexing offer us huge data rates of the

order of giga bits. In case of wireless technologies by changing modulation techniques can

enhance the data rates and security. Upcoming technologies like 3G supports data rates in mega

bits which are pretty much better as compared to the existing 2G. In switching the entire circuit

switching network are to be modified to packet switched networks and will be IP based. In

nutshell future technologies will be more efficient, precise and faster as compression to present

technologies and thus these are helpful in meeting the demands of the users in order of high

speed, large bandwidth etc.
