DSL Types

ADSL, HDSL, IDSL, SDSL, VDSL = xDSL

DSL2-1

ADSL

ITU Version G.992.1 = ADSL Full G.992.2 = ADSL Lite

Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line World standard (ANSI, ITU) High data rate in only one direction (download) 8.1/0.8 Mbps (down/up) Note: can be configured symmetric 384/384, 768/768 Leaves POTS undisturbed = Life Line POTS G.992.1 line coding option of S=1/2 provides 12 Mbps download option

DSL2-2

DMT ADSL
4kHz low pass filter (LPF) for voice sub-carrier spacing for discrete multitones (DMT)

DSL2-3

ADSL Line Repeaters

Symmetricom GoLong http://www.symmetricom.com/ Mid-span ADSL repeater 1.5Mbps/128kbps down/up to 30,000 feet (9100 m)

DSL2-4

HDSL2/SDSL/IDSL
HDSL2 High-Bit-Rate Digital Subscriber Line T1 Transmission over 2-wire loop (1.544 Mbps) Maximum distance approximately 18,000 feet SDSL Symmetric Digital Subscriber Line 2.3/2.3 Mbps 2B1Q 4-level line code Low power Distance limitation of about 15,000 feet IDSL ISDN Digital Subscriber Line (144/144 kbps) about 120,000 feet with repeaters
DSL2-5

MVL
Paradyne solution proprietary MVL uses Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) QAM generates up to 8 bits per baud (256 constellation) 768 kbps / 768 kbps up to 28,000 feet from CO

DSL2-6

SHDSL
Single-Pair High-bit-rate DSL (SHDSL) 16 level TC-PAM line coding Trellis Coded Pulse Amplitude Modulation (TC-PAM) ITU G.991.2 approved April 2001 (was G.shdsl) 2-wire (2.36/2.36) 192 kbps steps 4-wire (4.7/4.7) 384 kbps steps STU-R connects to STU-C Very good spectral compatibility with other services Some vendors are providing SHDSL over POTS
DSL2-7

SHDSL Repeaters
Adtran, Inc. ADSL Loop Extender (ALE) Uses G.shdsl to extend the range and signal for ADSL CO -------G.shdsl------<ALE>----G.dmt----ADSL CPE

DSL2-8

VDSL
Very-High-Data-Rate Digital Subscriber Line Standards track (~ January 2001) Downstream rates: 12.96 Mbps (4,500 ft. 1500m) 25.82 Mbps (3,000 ft. 1000m) = FTTN (Fiber-to-the-Node) 51.84 Mbps (1,000 ft. 300m) = FTTC (Fiber-to-the-Curb) Upstream rates from 1.6 to 2.3 Mbps Symmetric rate (13 Mbps) possible Simpler than ADSL Shorter lines, fewer transmission constraints Ten times faster Enables multiple video streams HDTV compatible (19 Mbps or 10 Mbps compressed)
DSL2-9

VDSL Line Sharing

VDSL Alliance

Frequency Plan 998 1-Downstream: 138 kHz 3.75 MHz. 1-Upstream: 3.75 MHz 5.2 MHz 2-Downstream: 5.2 MHz 8.5 MHz 2-Upstream: 8.5MHz 12.0 MHz

Multi carrier Modulation (MCM) with Discrete Multi Tone (DMT) and Filtered Multi Tone (FMT) both using Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM) in the range 138 kHz to 12 MHz following Frequency Plan 998 supported by ANSI, ETSI and T1E1. http://www.vdslalliance.com FS-VDSL Committee Full Service Access Network (FSAN) using Frequency Plan 998 http://www.fsanet.net/ VDSL Coalition An interest group promoting Single Carrier Modulation (CAP / QAM) DSL2-10 http://www.vdsl.org

DSL2-11

DSL Configuration
Design note; 1) DSLAMs can support multiple DSL line cards (xTU-C) For example; DSLAM with G.dmt, G.shdsl, G.vdsl CPE can then choose speed/service required Future cross connects at the DSLAM could provide for customer speed/service increases 2) DSLAMs could be integrated with the POTS line card to provide POTS -or- DSL options to all telephone subscribers this will benefit facilities based exchange carriers
DSL2-12

DSL Deployment Model

1. ILEC/CLEC sends CPE to customer for self install 2. ILEC/CLEC drives to customer site for the install 3. Retail: Customer buys the DSL CPE in a store (Radio Shack, Frys,), customer does self install,ILEC/CLEC activates the DSL line (connects the DSLAM)

DSL2-13

DSL Flavors
ADSL = ITU-T G.dmt = G.992.1 (world standard) SHDSL = ITU -T G.shdsl = G.991.2 (world standard, business focus) VDSL = Standards track with ETSI/ANSI IDSL = longest reach (part of DSL Anywhere) SDSL = multirate DSL (business focus) HDSL = T1 4-wire (most popular DSL to date) HDSL2 = T1 2-wire MVL = Paradyne proprietary, long reach RADSL = Globespan proprietary (voice, data, video) 1-Meg = Nortel proprietary xDSL = any of the above YDSL = CATV solution (why DSL?)
