 Overview of the new standards

ITU-T
 G.dmt = G.992.1 = ADSL
G.dmt = G.992.1
= current ADSL  G.dmt.bis = G.992.3 = ADSL2
• 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 (spectrum  2.2
G.adslplus =  on G.992.3 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

• Maximum Noise Margin

 If maximum not enabled,

default: 51dB

 Downstream (out)
• Max. up to carrier 512

 Used carrier range
• Depends on actual operating

 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
