If two digital signals are plesiochoronous then their transitions occur at “ almost” the same rate, with any variation being constrained within tight limits. Although this clocks are extremely accurate, there is a difference between one clock and the other.

Limitation of the PDH Network
• Inability to identify individual channels in a higher order bit stream.
• Insufficient capacity for network management.
• Most PDH network management is proprietary.
• There is no definition of bit rates greater than 140 Mbit/s
• There are different hierarchies in use around the world.

Synchronous Digital
Hierarchy
GTL Limited
The Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH)
• Need for extensive network management capability within the hierarchy.
• Standard interfaces between equipment.
• Need for inter-working between north American and European systems.
• Facilities to add or drop tributaries directly from a high speed signal.
• Standardization of equipment management process.

The reference clock is not synchronized
throughout the network
The reference clock is synchronized
throughout the network.
Multiplexing / Demultiplexing
operations have to be performed from
one level to the next level step by step.
The synchronous multiplexing results in
simple access to SDH system has
consistent frame structures throughout
the hierarchy.
The payload is not transparent. The payload is transparent
PDH system has different frame
structures at different hierarchy levels.
SDH system has consistent frame
structures throughout the hierarchy.
Physical cross-connections on the same
level on DDF are forced if any
Digital cross- connections are provided
at different signal levels and in different
ways on NMS

PDH SDH
G.702 specifies maximum 45Mpbs &
140Mpbs & no higher order (faster)
signal structure is not specified
G.707 specified the first level of
SDH.That is, STM-1, Synchronous
Transport Module 1st Order & higher.
(STM-1,STM-4,STM-16, STM-64)
PDH system does not bear capacity to
transport B-ISDN signals.
SDH network is designed to be a
transport medium for B-ISDN, namely
ATM structured signal.
Few services are available It will transport variety of services.
Limited amount of extra capacity for
user / management
It will transport service bandwidths
Sufficient number of OHBs is available

STM-N Frame FormatSTM-N Frame Format
• STM - "Synchronous Transport / Transmission Module"
• STM-N general format
• Basic frame STM-1 consists of • 270 x 9 = 2430 octets • 9 x 9 = 81 octets section overhead • 2349 octets payload
• Higher rate frames are derived from multiples of STM-1 according to value of N

SDH Generalised Multiplexing Structure
GTL Limited
• Input signals are placed into the containers
• It adds stuffing bytes for PDH signals,which compensates for the permitted frequency deviation between the SDH system and the PDH signal
• C12 (2 Mbps – G.703)• C11 (1.5 Mbps)• C2 (6 Mbps)• C3 (34 / 45 Mbps)• C4 (140 Mbps)
Container
GTL Limited
Container
ALIGNMENT : It is a process of adopting the incoming PDH signals into containers i.e. PCM 30 or 2Mbps to C12.
GTL Limited
Mapping is a process used when tributaries are adapted into VCs by adding justification bits and Path overhead information
The 2 Mbps signals are not synchronized to the SDH signal.It imposes no signal structure requirements, so 2 Mbps signals using this mapping do not need to be framed.This allows easy interface with existing PDH systems as variable bit justification occurs as part of this type of 2Mbps mapping.
Mapping (Asynchronous)
GTL Limited
• It adds overheads to a container or groups of tributary units, that provides facilities for supervision and maintenance of the end to end paths• VCs carry information end to end between two path access points through the SDH system• VCs are designed for transport and switching sub-SDH payloads
• VC12 (C12 + POH)• VC11 (C11 + POH)• VC2 (C2 + POH)• VC3 (C3 + POH)• VC4 (C4 + POH)
Virtual Container
GTL Limited
Virtual Container
• The AU pointer locates a higher-order VC, and the TU pointer locates a lower-order VC. For example, an AU–3 contains a VC–3 plus a pointer, and a TU–2 contains a VC–2 plus a pointer.
• A VC is the payload entity that travels across the network, being created and dismantled at or near the service termination point.
GTL Limited
• It adds pointers to the VCs
• This pointer permits the SDH system to compensate for phase differences within the SDH network and also for the frequency deviations between the SDH networks
• TUs acts as a bridge between the lower order path layer and higher order path layer
• TU12 (VC12 + pointer)• TU2 (VC2 + pointer) • TU3 (VC3 + pointer)
Tributary Unit
GTL Limited
• It defines a group of tributary units that are multiplexed together
• As a result, a TU group could contain one of the following combinations
• Three TU-12s (TUG – 2)
• Seven TUG-2s (TUG – 3)
Tributary Unit Group
GTL Limited
It adds pointer to the HO Virtual containers (similar to the tributary unit) • AU - 3 (VC-3 + pointer)• AU - 4 (VC-4 + pointer)
Administrative Unit Group
• It defines a group of administrative units that are multiplexed together to form higher order STM signal
Administrative Unit
GTL Limited
Synchronous Transport Module – n
• It adds section overhead (RSOH & MSOH) to a number of AUGs that adds facilities for supervision &maintenance of the multiplexer & regenerator sections
• This is the signal that is transmitted on the SDH line
• The digit “n” defines the order of the STM signal
GTL Limited
STM-1 Frame StructureSTM-1 Frame Structure
GTL Limited
• As indicated, the STM – n signal is multiples of frames
consisting of 9 rows with 270 bytes in each row• The order of transmission of information is first from
left to right and then from top to bottom• The first 9 bytes in each row are for information and
used by the SDH system itself.This area is divided into 3 partso Regenerator Section Overhead(RSOH)o Multiplex Section Overhead(MSOH)o Pointers
STM-1 Frame StructureSTM-1 Frame Structure
GTL Limited
Mapping of 2Mbps into STM – N signal
GTL Limited
• Stuffing bytes are added in the container one at the head and the other at the tail of each frame• The lower order POHs are added at the head of each frame in the VC12• Adding of pointers takes place at the head of each frame in the TU12• Three parallel TU12s are multiplexed to form a TUG-2• Seven TUG-2s are multiplexed to form a TUG-3• Multiplexing of three TUG3s with stuffing bytes at the header forms the input to VC4
Mapping of 2Mbps into STM – N signal
GTL Limited
• Higher order path over heads are added at this level, which is the input to AU4• The location of the starting byte J1(VC-4) is written in pointer bytes H1 and H2. This process is defined as pointer processing• AUG, performs the function of concatenation in case of higher order STMs• In STM-1,virtually there is no difference between AUG and AU-4
