For NVLT-C or NVLT-D (which both support ATM and PTM), you can configure the transfer mode.
For ports on NALT boards, there’s nothing you can take the default transfer mode (which in
that case is ATM, obviously).

The XDSL line spectrum profile groups all parameters on physical level. These parameters are
mainly related to the environmental conditions of the line (spectrum management).
The spectrum configuration profile contains parameters which have a common value for all
ADSLx flavors (Common) and parameters which have a specific value depending on the ADSLx
flavor used (ADSL1/2, READSL2, ADSL2Plus). The actual selected operating mode determines
which set of ADSLx specific parameters is used. In case a common parameter is not supported
for a specific ADSLx flavor, this parameter will be ignored for that flavor.
The XDSL line service profile groups all parameters on service level (data rates, delay, …). These
parameters are mainly related to the configuration of the XDSL Channel interface.
The service parameters are common for all ADSLx flavors. In case a parameter is not supported
for a specific ADSLx flavor, this parameter will be ignored for that flavor.

xDSL line service profile

 Configuration of:
• Rate adaptation mode
• Net bit rates
• Latency characteristics
o max. interleaving delay
o min. INP
o Erasure detection

13

The defined interleaving delay will determine the interleaving depth (also taken into account is
the actual line rate). These decisions are taken by the xTU-C (in the DSLAM).
Reed-Solomon coding is used for impulse noise protection. In the xDSL line spectrum profile you
can fill in how many symbols may be affected by a noise burst without causing unrepairable
damage. This parameter will also have effect on the interleaving depth.
Most bursts of noise affect less than one DMT, but it is possible that a burst is longer (e.g. from
4 to 10 DMT symbols). If you fill in a value of 2 symbols to be protected, you already have a
good protection for data traffic (for video, it is recommended to have a minimum INP of 4 DMT
symbols). You don’t need to introduce too much delay (e.g. max. 8 or 16 ms is sufficient).
Obviously, the INP parameter is related to the interleaving delay.
When you fill in the bit rate values, there’s no link to which xDSL is used, so you’ll have to pay
attention to what port it will be applied (ADSLx, ADSL2+ & VDSL)!

Document Number | Document Title 13 © 2010 Alcatel-Lucent, All Rights Reserved


What is erasure detection?
It is a mechanism to detect erroneous bytes in the Reed-Solomon codewords. If that
mechanism would work perfectly, it would mean that the Reed-Solomon overhead bytes can
be used for error correction only (that way doubling the amount of bytes that can be
corrected!). Unfortunately, the technology is not field proven yet. It would be dangerous to
rely on erasure detection. Maybe it works fine, but it is also possible that it only detects a few
erroneous bytes and it leaves some for Reed-Solomon to detect. (In the worst case, it would
even tell that a correct byte is erroneous!)
Alcatel-Lucent recommends that you don’t rely on erasure detection. This means that the
modem will at least try to reach the requested delay and INP value without erasure detection.
The modem can still choose to use erasure detection but this will then provide a higher INP. If
the modem is allowed to rely on erasure detection, it will use this mechanism to reach the
requested delay and INP value. Erasure detection is covered in more detail in the VDSL2
module.
More details in part 2 of the operator course

xDSL line spectrum profile: modes

 Defines allowed modes on the port


• ADSL ... VDSL2

15

It is better to allow all VDSL2 profiles and restrict specific operational parameters via the other
configuration tabs. Like this you might avoid that a modem doesn´t want to enter showtime
because it couldn´t support the requested profile. By allowing all VDSL2 profiles you avoid this

Overview of the new standards

 G.dmt = G.992.1 = ADSL


ITU-T

G.dmt = G.992.1  G.dmt.bis = G.992.3 = ADSL2


= current ADSL
• better performance
• loop diagnostics
• improved initialization & fast start-up
G.dmt.bis = G.992.3
= ADSL2
• power management
• …
 G.adslplus = G.992.5 = ADSL2+
• More downstream bandwidth
G.adslplus = ∆ on G.992.3 o (spectrum  2.2 MHz)
= ADSL2+
• up to 24 Mbps / at least 16 Mbps
READSL2 = G.992.3 annex L
= Reach Extended ADSL2
 READSL2 = Annex L G.992.3
• Reach Extended ADSL2

16

The G.dmt = G.992.1 standard describes the current ADSL technology.


The ADSL2 G.992.3 and G.992.4 standards, approved by the International Telecommunication
Union, improve data rate and reach performance, dynamic rate adaptation and diagnostics,
and include a power-saving standby mode as well.
ADSL2+ (G.992.5), more than doubles the downstream data rate of ADSL to 16 Mbit/sec, but
extending the frequency spectrum from 1,1Mhz to 2,2Mhz.
ADSL2 addresses the growing demand for bandwidth to support services such as video. ADSL2
and ADSL2+ gear will interoperate with existing ADSL equipment, allowing carriers to roll out
new high-speed services while gradually upgrading their legacy infrastructure.
Reach Extended ADSL2 (READSL2), which is annex L of ADSL2 (G.992.3), results in an increase in
reach of about 600 meters. With ADSL the reach was limited to an average of 5,4km. With
READSL2 this is extended up to 6km (for 0,4mm loops). This is done by adapting a specific PSD
(Power Spectrum Density) where the lower carriers of the downstream data are given a bit
more power, while the higher carriers are not used. The result is an overall lower bitrate,
allowed over a longer loop length, without needing a higher overall power.
For completeness, we also refer to the ADSL lite versions.
 The lite version for the current ADSL is defined as G.lite or G992.2
 For ADSL2 the lite version is defined as G.lite.bis or G.992.4

ADSL2+ doubles the frequency spectrum

18

While the current ADSL standard (G.992.1) specifies a downstream frequency band up to 1.1
Mhz, ADSL2+ specifies a downstream frequency up to 2.2 Mhz. The result is a significant
increase in data rates on shorter phone lines.

Noise margins

for SRA only

19

SRA: Seamless Rate Adaptation

You specify a minimum noise margin, target noise margin and maximum noise margin.
 The configured value for the maximum noise margin can be any value from 0 dB until 31
dB. The value of 51.1 dB means that there’s no limit.

Document Number | Document Title 19 © 2010 Alcatel-Lucent, All Rights Reserved


DSL Line Profiles: SNR/QAM relationship

 Relation between the SNR and the max. QAM.


(QAM is directly linked to the line rate)

 To obtain a certain speed we need a min. SNR!

Bits/symbol QAM Signal/Noise ratio (dB)

for BER<10-7

4 QAM-16 21,8
6 QAM-64 27,8
8 QAM-256 33,8
9 QAM-512 36,8
10 QAM-1024 39,9
12 QAM-4096 45,9
14 QAM-16.384 51,9
15 QAM-32.768 54,9
20

Another way to look at the MinNM (= minimum noise margin):


A minimum noise margin >0 results in rescaling the third column of above table: e.g., if QAM-64
is assigned at SNR=SNRtable + MinNM, this means that the BER will decrease from 10-7 to a
lower value.
For ADSL on the carriers (1 to 255) we use Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM). At startup
for each carrier the SNR is determined and the target noise margin (TNM) of 6dB is subtracted.
The resulting SNR is used to determine the maximum QAM we can use on that carrier.
In the ADSL course we have seen that for the data layer there are 4000 symbols per second.
So assume in the downstream direction we use at startup 200 carriers and the ATM rate
requested by the operator is 3,2Mbps per second.
With this we can calculate the average SNR needed.
 Number of bits per symbol needed for 3,2Mbps  3,2M / 4000 = 800 bits
 With 200 carriers this is an average of 4 bits per carrier (800/200)
 To be able to get 4 bits on a carrier we need at least a SNR of 21,8dB per carrier. This is
not taken in account the TNM at startup.
 With the TNM of 6dB we need so a SNR of AT LEAST 27,8 dB per carrier at startup.
This small calculation shows you the relation between the SNR and the requested line rate. This
calculation does not take into account the overhead generated by Trellis and Reed Solomon.

 ADSL1 modems always adjust their power settings in order to reach the maximum noise
margin whenever possible.
 ADSL2(+) modems can do power savings and may go for a lower noise margin (no matter
what you configure as a maximum noise margin!)

28000* 29100* 29700*

23

For each RFI Band, the RFI type, egress control and the ingress level is specified.
The ingress level and RFI type are specified for information of the XDSL modem subsystem such
that it can be taken into account at initialization.
 RF Band: [start frequency, stop frequency]
 frequency: 0 – 12000 kHz
 RFI Type:
 HAM
 AM (not included in standard)
 Only HAM band support is defined in the standard. As HAM & AM are 2 different types of
signal modulation they will also behave differently PSD wise. So if the modem also supports
AM RFI signal types this might mean a different manipulation of the PSD mask in that
region.
 HAM bands are standardized worldwide, but there are local differences.
In the XDSL line spectrum profile you can define 8 hamming bands. Default there are 4,
but you can create new ones (modify).
The fact that all this information can be provided means that it’s also part of the MIB and that it
can be signaled to the xDSL modem. The xDSL modem can then take appropriate actions based
upon this information. (philosophy: the more information we provide the better, what the
modem actually supports is another story)

RFI details: Egress vs. ingress

 Egress control notched


PSDdBm/Hz
-60
or …

< -80

f1 f2 fMHz

• Notched: adapt PSD mask to –80dBm/Hz for that range

 Ingress control
• Operator informs modem of possible disturbance level of RFI bands
• Modem could decide not to charge those frequencies too heavily

24

Egress control:
 Notched: PSD level will be reduced below -80 dBm/Hz
 No control: no notching required for that band

Ingress level:
 Low: ingress level can be neglected
 Weak: expected ingress level is weak (at -30dBm@LT / -20dBm@NT)

 Strong: expected ingress level is strong (at -10dBm@LT / 0dBm@NT)

Egress and ingress can be activated separately.


 By choosing egress notched the PSD mask is forced to at least –80dBM/Hz in that RFI band
region.
 By specifying an ingress level for a RFI band we inform the modem of a possible disturbance
by the RFI on his receivers (see above). With this information the modem can decide not to
charge too heavily the frequencies in that band, as sudden noise could appear in that
range. In other words the modem could act pro-actively instead of reacting to sudden
disturbance in that frequency band. In fact the modem could increase the noise margins in
two ways :
 by choosing a lower QAM

by emitting more power (there are limits to this: PSD.)


Although the result of egress and ingress control might result in something similar on the line
(lowering the PSD mask) the cause for it is different.
 Egress > disturbance of the xDSL line on the HAM/AM band

 Ingress > disturbance of the HAM/AM band on the xDSL line
