• G.992.1 Annex A —— ADSL over POTS


• The upstream and downstream spectrums are 25–138 kHz and 138–1104 kHz respectively. ADSLs of this type are
classified into non-overlap and overlap ADSLs and most commonly used.
• G.992.1 Annex B —— ADSL over ISDN
• Supports ISDN and ADSL on the same twisted pair.
• G.992.1 Annex C
• This is an ADSL in the G.961 (ISDN) crosstalk environment with time division duplex. It is mainly used in Japan.
• G.992.2: G.Lite or splitterless ADSL
• The upstream spectrum is the same as that of the Annex A. The downstream spectrum is 138–552 kHz. The upstream
and downstream transmission rates are 512 Kbps and 1536 Kbps respectively.
National Telecommunication Institute ‫المعهد القومي لالتصاالت‬
ADSL2 Standard
• The ADSL2 frequency band division is similar to the current ADSL (the upstream and downstream
frequency bands are both up to 1104 kHz). Theoretically, the maximum downstream rate can reach
12 Mbps and the maximum upstream rate can reach 1.2 Mbps.

• G.992.3
• ADSL2 is developed based on ADSL and has been established in June 2002.
• In G.992.3 Annex I and J, the support for the full digital loop mode is added.
• The Annex I is applicable to the scenario where the adjacent route pair is POTS,
• and the Annex J is applicable to the scenario where the adjacent route pair is ISDN.
• G.992.3 Annex L is the so-called long distance ADSL2 or READSL2.
• G.992.5
• Based on ADSL2, ADSL2+ extends the downstream frequency band from 1.104 MHz to 2.208
MHz, and the number of sub-bands increases from 256 to 512. Therefore, the downstream
rate increases greatly.

National Telecommunication Institute ‫المعهد القومي لالتصاالت‬


VDSL2 Standard (G.993.2)
• The G.993.2 (VDSL2) transmission standard, as the ultimate DSL technology, is based on the Discrete
Multi-tone Modulation (DMT) technology.

• In this standard, the ADSL2+ technology is used to provide long-distance transmission, and the
maximum data transmission rate of VDSL is enhanced from 70/30 Mbps to symmetric 100 Mbps.

• To achieve such a high transmission rate in a range of 350 meters, the spectrum of VDSL2 has increased
from 12 MHz to 30 MHz. In addition, the transmission power has increased to 20 dBm to meet the
requirements for medium-and high-ring transmission.

DSL Equipment
ADSL uses two pieces of equipment,
one on the customer end and one at
the Internet service provider,
telephone company or other
provider of DSL services.
At the customer's location there is a
DSL transceiver, which may also
provide other services.
The DSL service provider has a DSL
Access Multiplexer (DSLAM) to
receive customer connections.

National Telecommunication Institute ‫المعهد القومي لالتصاالت‬


DSL Equipment
• "DSL modem" The engineers at the telephone company or ISP call it an ATU-R.
• The DSLAM at the access provider is the equipment that really allows DSL to happen.
• A DSLAM takes connections from many customers and aggregates them onto a single high-
capacity connection to the Internet.
• DSLAMs are generally flexible and able to support multiple types of DSL in a single central office,
and different varieties of protocol and modulation -- both CAP and DMT, for example -- in the
same type of DSL.
• In addition, the DSLAM may provide additional functions including routing or dynamic IP
address assignment for the customers.
• ADSL provides a dedicated connection from each user back to the DSLAM, meaning that users
won't see a performance decrease as new users are added, until the total number of users begins
to saturate the single high-speed connection to the Internet.
• At that point, an upgrade by the service provider can provide additional performance for all the
users connected to the DSLAM.

❑ The xDSL technology can transmit data signals and traditional analog voice signals (except SHDSL) on the same twisted pair.
❑ In ADSL, data and voice must be transmitted on separate frequency bands.
❑ The preceding two types of DSL technologies, ADSL and SHDSL, have a maximum transmission rate of 8 Mbps.
❑ ADSL uses a frequency band higher than 30 kHz, whereas common voice signals are in a frequency band lower than 4 kHz.

❑ The voice and data signals are filtered by a splitter at the subscriber side and then transmitted on the same twisted pair in
different frequency bands.
❑ Each subscriber-side splitter maps a CO-side splitter which separates the voice/data mixed signals transmitted on the
twisted pair.
❑ A splitter consists of a 3-port “Input/low-pass/high-pass filter group”.
❑ The low-pass filter can filter allows only low-frequency voice signals to pass and suppresses the interference from data
signals.
❑ The high-pass filter allows only high-frequency data signals to pass and suppresses the interference from voice signals.

❑ A CO-side splitter also consists of a 3-port “Input/low-pass/high-pass filter group” in which the high-pass filter separates
data signals while the low-pass filter separates voice signals.
❑ After separation, voice signals are transmitted through the PSTN network, and data signals are transmitted through a
dedicated high-speed data exchange network.
❑ In this way, data transmission is not restricted by the PSTN system, and can reach a rate much greater than 64 Kbps.

G.Lite Standard ADSL System Composition “splitter less”
• Due to the influence of the interference, the transmission rate of the G.lite is much lower than that of the G.dmt.
• In the G.lite standard, the maximum downstream and upstream transmission rates are 1.536 Mbps and 512 Kbps
respectively.
• It can be seen that the downstream transmission rate of the G.lite ADSL is greatly reduced.

ADSL Modulation Technology
• Common modulation methods used in DSL products:
• Quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM)
• No carrier amplitude/phase modulation (CAP)
• Discrete multiTone (DMT)
QAM: quadrature amplitude
modulation
DMT: discrete multiband
modulation

National Telecommunication Institute ‫المعهد القومي لالتصاالت‬


Splitting the Signal: CAP
• There are two competing and incompatible standards for ADSL.
• The official ANSI standard for ADSL is a system called discrete multitone, or DMT. A
• ccording to equipment manufacturers, most of the ADSL equipment installed today uses DMT.
• An earlier and more easily implemented standard was the carrierless amplitude/phase (CAP) system, which
was used on many of the early installations of ADSL.
• CAP operates by dividing the signals on the telephone line into three distinct bands:
1. Voice conversations are carried in the 0 to 4 KHz (kilohertz) band, as they are in all POTS circuits
2. The upstream channel (from the user back to the server) is carried in a band between 25 and 160 KHz.
3. The downstream channel (from the server to the user) begins at 240 KHz ),and goes up to a point that
varies depending on a number of conditions (line length, line noise, number of users in a particular
telephone company switch) but has a maximum of about 1.5 MHz (megahertz).
• This system, with the three channels widely separated, minimizes the possibility of interference between the
channels on one line, or between the signals on different lines.

National Telecommunication Institute ‫المعهد القومي لالتصاالت‬


Splitting the Signal: DMT
• DMT also divides signals into separate channels, but doesn't use two
fairly broad channels for upstream and downstream data.
• Instead, DMT divides the data into 247 separate channels, each 4 KHz
wide.
• One way to think about it is to imagine that the phone company
divides your copper line into 247 different 4-KHz lines and then
attaches a modem to each one.

National Telecommunication Institute ‫المعهد القومي لالتصاالت‬


28
ADSL Frequency bands “Splitting the Signal: DMT”
In ADSL DMT-systems the downstream channels are divided into 256 ,4-kHz-wide tones.
The upstream channels are divided into 32 sub channels.

Upstream data transfer frequencies range from 25 kHz to 138 kHz, whereas downstream data
transfer frequencies range from 139 kHz to 1.1 MHz

Note:
Guard bands divide the three frequency bands. Each tone has a bandwidth of 4 kHz and a spacing of 4.3 kHz; each
supporting a maximum number of 15 bits, as limited by its signal-to-noise ratio. Since the tones in higher frequencies
are more susceptible to attenuation and noise, higher frequencies

ADSL, ADSL2, and ADSL2+ spectrum distribution
• ADSL2 is developed based on ADSL and has been established in June 2002 (G.992.3).

• The ADSL2 frequency band division is similar to the current ADSL (the upstream and downstream frequency
bands are both up to 1104 kHz). Theoretically, the maximum downstream rate can reach 12 Mbps and the

Comparison Between ADSL2+ and ADSL
• The ADSL2+ provides a higher rate for subscribers in a short loop within 2.5 km.
• The ADSL2 standard adopts an enhanced modulation mode, which can better reduce the impact of line noise on
signals, obtain higher line encoding gain, and increase the connection rate.
• ADSL2 uses variable overhead bits with an overhead rate of 4–32 Kbps while the ADSL overhead rate is fixed at 32
Kbps.
• It can be considered that ADSL2 increases the speed by 50 Kbps and transmission distance by 200 m compared
with ADSL (6% greater coverage area).
• The ADSL2 standard requires the line noise and signal attenuation of each carrier in DMT mode to be tested to
determine whether ADSL services can be provisioned on the line. It also requires real-time monitoring over ADSL
connections.
• The ADSL2 standard implements traffic-based power control. When a large amount of data needs to be
transmitted, for example, during large file download, the line power increases to the standard ADSL power level
L0. When a small amount of data or no data needs to be transmitted, for example, during web pages browsing,
the power decreases to L2 and L3 specified in the ADSL2 power levels. Decreasing the line power can effectively
reduce the crosstalk between line pairs.

VDSL Overview
• VDSL which is short for very high speed digital subscriber line is a new generation of high-speed DSL technology.
• VDSL provides various transmission rates and multiple working modes, including symmetric and asymmetric transmission, to
meet the requirements of different customers.
• Because the transmission rate of VDSL is high, the twisted pairs used in VDSL are shorter, usually from 300 m to 1 km. The
length of the twisted pairs is inversely proportional to the transmission rate.
• Compared with ADSL, VDSL uses a higher frequency band than PSTN and ISDN frequencies on twisted pairs. Therefore, VDSL
is compatible with existing traditional telephone services as well as ISDN services.
• The basic working principles of VDSL are similar to that of ADSL. also uses passive filters as signal splitters to support voice
and ISDN transmission.
• VDSL is a video and data transmission technology over the voice frequency band. It provides multiple working modes and
can transmit data at a high rate within a short distance.
• This technology enables telecom operators to use existing twisted pairs to transmit broadband services, such as VoD and
high-speed Internet access.
• Currently, the internationally recognized VDSL system complies with the American standard formulated by T1E1.4 and
European standard formulated by of ESTI TM6. Both standards adopt the G.998 standard and DMT/CAP modulation modes.
The difference is that the American standard adopts the G.998 standard for baseband planning to provide a highest rate of
22 Mbps, while the European standard adopts the G.998 standard for baseband planning to provide a highest rate of 14
Mbps.

Advantages of VDSL2
• The rate can reach 10 times the average ADSL rate, and the maximum rate can reach 100
Mbps at 0 distance, effectively supporting triple play of video, Internet, and voice services.
• VDSL2 not only has the long-distance transmission capability of the ADSL2+ technology,
but also increases the data transmission rate of the VDSL from 70 Mbps (downstream) /30
Mbps (upstream) to 100 Mbps (downstream) /100 Mbps (upstream).
• To achieve such a high transmission rate within 350 meters.
• The working frequency of VDSL2 is increased from 12 MHz to 30 MHz.
• To meet the access requirements of medium and long distance loops, the transmit power
of VDSL2 is increased to 20 dBm, and the echo cancellation technology is also specified, so
that the transmission performance is similar to that of ADSL in long-distance transmission
scenarios.

Take VDSL2 access as an example.
Generally, an access device is installed in
an indoor cabinet placed in a central
office (CO) equipment room together
with PSTN switches or softswitch access
gateways, and transmits data upstream
to a switch in GE/10GE mode.
Then, the twisted pairs are connected to
copper terminals in users’ homes
through devices such as splice boxes.
The transmission distance of twisted
pairs is about 1000 m.
A single access device can connect to a
maximum of 1024 users.

Crosstalk: VDSL2 Bandwidth Killer
• Crosstalk: interference caused by the coupling of signals in DSL line pairs.
• Near-end crosstalk (NEXT): interference between upstream and downstream channels at the same end
• Far-end crosstalk (FEXT): interference between upstream and downstream channels at different ends

CPE
DSLAM

NEXT FEXT FEXT NEXT

CPE

Crosstalk can cause the VDSL2 rate to decrease by 40%–60%.

National Telecommunication Institute ‫المعهد القومي لالتصاالت‬


How to Eliminate Crosstalk
• NEXT: Because the upstream and downstream frequency bands of the VDSL2 are
different, near-end crosstalk is separated from normal signals by frequency bands
and can be eliminated or greatly reduced by using a filter.

• FEXT: FEXT occurs between upstream signals or between downstream signals, and
is in the same frequency band as normal signals. Therefore, FEXT cannot be
eliminated by using a filter.
• To reduce FEXT, ITU-T proposed the vectoring technology standard G.993.5.

National Telecommunication Institute ‫المعهد القومي لالتصاالت‬


Vectoring Implementation Principle
• Vectoring improves the VDSL2 rate by eliminating crosstalk.
• Obtain the crosstalk information on the line through the cooperation of CO devices and terminals, and calculate the
crosstalk cancellation scheme accordingly.

Vectoring Acceleration Effect
• The highest rate supported by vectoring is the rate of VDSL2 single-wire pairs in an
environment without crosstalk.

1000 m 800 m 60 Mbps 40 Mbps
1200 m 1000 m 40 Mbps 30 Mbps

◼ The effective distance of vectoring is within 1.5 km, and the rate improvement in the 300–800 m range is the most obvious.
◼ Vectoring can increase the rate by 50%–90% on the basis of VDSL2, reaching 90%–95% of the theoretical VDSL2 rate.

National Telecommunication Institute ‫المعهد القومي لالتصاالت‬


G.fast Application Scenarios
As the spectrum width increases, crosstalk between copper lines increases sharply, and the transmission distance
becomes shorter. In the initial phase, the voice signals carried by copper lines are 64 kHz low-frequency signals and
support a transmission distance up to 5 km.
At present, the fastest G.fast access technology uses frequency up to 106 MHz and supports the highest rate of 1000
Mbps, with a typical transmission distance shortened to about 100 m.
G.fast (also called Giga DSL) achieves the FTTH access rate using existing copper lines, bringing copper access into the
"gigabit era".
• Fiber to the door (FTTD)
• Fiber to the distribution point (FTTDp)
• Fiber to the building (FTTB)

G.fast applies to the following scenarios:


• FTTD, FTTDp, and FTTB where the fiber length to end subscribers is usually less than 200 m
• The twisted pair at the drop cable section can be reused to avoid complex fiber routing and greatly reduce the network
deployment cost.
• Provides services for generally no more than 50 subscribers.
• Device installation is complex, and onsite power supply is difficult to acquire, requiring low power consumption devices to
support some special power modes, such as remote power supply or PoE.
• The installation environment, such as electric poles, corridors, and manholes, demands high environment adaptability and less
maintenance. Generally, remote maintenance needs to be supported.
