xDIGITAL SUBSCRIBER LINE-xDSL ?
25
x Digital Subscriber Lines (x DSL)
• Digital Subscriber Line is an Access technology that enables broadband data over twisted copper pairs, opening the most crucial bottleneck in the today’s data stream.
26
The three Ws–What ?–Why ?–When ?
x Digital Subscriber Lines (x DSL)
27
• DSL uses existing telephone lines– Millions of telephone lines around the world.– DSL can provide data and voice over the same phone
line– Users don’t need a second line.– DSL provides service providers with the capability to
leverage the existing infrastructure
• DSL makes economic sense– Reuse of existing telephone Outside Plants and
reduces the deployment costs and risks– Deployed incrementally without large capital
investment.
x Digital Subscriber Lines (x DSL) What ?
28
• DSL has many flavors – xDSL is a generic abbreviation for the many flavours
of DSL or DSL Technology.
• DSL enables more bandwidth – DSL refers to the technology used between a
customer’s premises and the telephone company, enabling more bandwidth over the already installed copper cabling than user have traditionally had.
– One may be able to receive data at rates up to 6.1 Mbps (millions of bits) per second (of a theoretical 8.448 megabits per second),
x Digital Subscriber Lines (x DSL) What ?
29
• Provides a variety of services– Internet Access– Telecommuting (The practice of using
telecommunication technologies to work a site away from office )
– Distant learning – On-line gaming– Remote LAN Access– Videoconferencing etc– Continuous transmission of motion video, audio
x Digital Subscriber Lines (x DSL) What ?
30
• DSL enables new applications – Services requiring real-time, interactive
multimedia and broadcast-quality video. – Such applications include
• Video conferencing• Video-on-demand • IP TV• Many Many More………
x Digital Subscriber Lines (x DSL) What ?
31
• Transmission speeds are not affected by other users going on-line – DSL is one customers dedicated line,– Generally transmission speeds are not affected
• DSL is "always on" – DSL is always connected - just like a standard
telephone. There is no time wasted in dialing up the service.

x Digital Subscriber Lines (x DSL) What ?
34
x Digital Subscriber Lines (x DSL) What ?
35
• DSL makes use of Huge Investment which has already been done on Copper
• Eliminates the need for upgrades– Unlike competing technologies, DSL eliminates the
need for extensive and expensive infrastructure upgrades
• DSL bridges gap between latest technologies and copper– DSL is the best Choice to bridge the gap between
the latest bandwidth hungry applications and the already cheaply available copper cable ,
x Digital Subscriber Lines (x DSL) Why ?
36
• Saving of time is essential .
High Data rates are required.
• Revenue Saving is desired .
Unmet broadband demand is to be met.
Growing Traffic needs are to be satisfied.
Alternate to insufficient optical fiber deployment is required.
x Digital Subscriber Lines (x DSL) When ?
37
How does DSL technology achieve information rates in the millions of bits per second over those same copper loops?
38
The answer is simple As most speech energy lay in the frequency range below 3500 Hz. Thus, for faithful reproduction of speech, only a narrow range of frequencies (0-3500 Hz), needs to be transmitted. The telephone networks are designed to pass frequencies in the range 300 – 3400 Hz.DSL uses a much broader range of frequencies than the voice channel . Thus ,eliminating the 3,400-Hz boundary and using all bandwidth of underutilized copper .
39
• xDSL modems take advantage of the spectrum above the telephone audio channel.
– DSL increases data rates by greatly increasing the frequency range of the communication signal (from about 10KHz to over 1.0MHz).
– To do this they require the installation of special equipment at the central office and customer premise

xDSL-Flavors
43
Asymmetric DSL
• Why it is called Asymmetric DSL ?– faster downstream rate vs. upstream rate.
• Applications – Web-browsing, IP TV , Video on demand (VoD)
Asymmetric DSL and Derived Types 1 ADSL2 Universal ADSL (UDSL), G.Lite or DSL Lite3 Rate-Adaptive DSL (RADSL)4 Very High Bit-rate DSL (VDSL)
44
• Why it is called Symmetric DSL?– Downstream & upstream rates are equal
• Applications – Office type applications like Video conferencing
• Types – High bit-rate DSL (HDSL)– Single-pair HDSL (SHDSL)– ISDN DSL (ISDL)
Symmetric DSL
45
Few key differences1 Speed
How much data can be sent or received in a certain amount of time ?(bit rate)
2 Line CodingHow the information is encoded and sent on the line ?
3 Number of Lines What are the requirements in terms of twisted pairs ?
4 ReachHow many feet/meters the signal can reliably travel ?
Differences in different flavors /variants of DSL
46
Asymmetric DSL and Derived Types
Asymmetric DSL and Derived Types
• ADSL
• Universal ADSL (UDSL), G.Lite or DSL Lite
• Rate-Adaptive DSL (RADSL)
• Very High Bit-rate DSL (VDSL)
47
48
• Why it is called ADSL ?– ADSL is called "asymmetric" because most of its two-way
bandwidth is devoted to the downstream direction i.e sending data to the user.
• Data Rate and Reach– Only a small portion of bandwidth is available for upstream or
user-interaction messages. Using ADSL, up to 6.1 Mbps of data can be sent downstream and up to 640 Kbps upstream
– The data rate of ADSL is highly dependent upon the distance from Central Office (CO) to the Consumer Premises
– ADSL is designed to co exist with a regular phone line (phone operates at frequencies up to 4 KHz). ADSL will extend out to 18,000 ft, but its ideal rates only operate out to 9,000 ft.
– Speeds and distances based on good pair
ADSL
49
• Advantages– Well suited to residential application.– Peacefully co-exists with current phone service.
• It has large downstream data capacity
– ADSL (like most flavors of xDSL) is always connected
• Disadvantages– For Large business upstream data rates are often
just as important as downstream ,which would make ADSL a poor choice
– Data rates also suffer dramatically as line length increases.
ADSL
50
ADSL
51
• To create multiple channels ,ADSL Modem divide the available bandwidth of a telephone line by using Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM).
• By FDM , ADSL splits off a 4 kHz region for basic telephone service at the lower end of the band. One band is used for upstream and one band for downstream is assigned.
ADSL (Operation)
52
ADSL Spectrum - FDM
53
• DSL Lite, Splitter less ADSL or UADSL (Universal ADSL)
• A derivative of ADSL technology• ITU-T Standard• UADSL is Output of Universal ADSL Working Group (UAWG)
• Slower version • provides a data rate of 1.544 Mbps downstream and from 128
Kbps to 384 Kbps upstream.
• Simpler Hardware design• Because of the lower bit rate, hardware design for G.Lite is
easier
Type of Asymmetric DSL- G.Lite
54
• No Splitter Required• Where wiring in the home is old or done poorly,the
voice and data signals can interfere with each other .In those cases ,small Micro Filters are placed on each phone line in the house.
• Higher noise levels can be tolerated, eliminating the need for a POTS splitter.
• Cost effective solution as no splitter required
Types of Asymmetric DSL- G.Lite
55The (3) Divided Segments of G.Lite
• The 0 to 4 kilohertz (KHz) range is used for POTS
• The 20 KHz to 130 KHz range is used to transmit data upstream
• The 140 KHz to 550 KHz range is used to transmit data downstream
Types of Asymmetric DSL- G.Lite
56

58
• RADSL (Rate Adaptive DSL )
• By dynamically decreasing or increasing the bit-rate ,rate adaptive technology uses the optimal speed for the Line.
• Modem periodically assesses line quality and adjust transmission rate
• Generally used to extend reach of systems to areas that are far from the central office.
Types of Asymmetric DSL- RADSL
59
• Operates over single twisted-pair copper loop
• Downstream: 1 to 12 Mbps
• Upstream: 0.128 to 1 Mbps.
• In summary RADSL gives flexibility to adapt to the changing conditions and adjust the speeds in each direction to potentially maximize the throughput on each line.
Types of Asymmetric DSL- RADSL
60
• VDSL (Very high bit rate DSL)
• Data rates: Up to 52 Mbps (13, 26, or up to 52 ) in one direction and 2 Mbps in the other
• Meets businesses and residences with broadband access requirements over a Fiber-To-The-Curb (FTTC) network.
• Ultra High Speed data access such as Streaming video possible.

Symmetric DSL
• Why it is called Symmetric DSL?– Downstream & upstream rates are equal
• Applications – office type applications like Video conferencing
• Types – High bit-rate DSL (HDSL)– Single-pair HDSL (SHDSL)– ISDN DSL (ISDL)
64
• HDSL (High bit rate Digital Subscriber Line)
– 1.544/2.048 Mbits bi-directional service
• Matured and cheaper type of DSL . • Developed in late 1980’s as an alternative to T1/E1 standards .
• Initially T1/E1 lines were developed and deployed for high speed data transmission.
– They are dedicated lines where there is always a connection between the end user and the service provider.
– A leased T1 /E1 line has customarily been quite expensive.
Type of Symmetric xDSL-HDSL
65
Types of Symmetric xDSL-HDSL
66
• HDSL was designed to automatically compensate for line conditions.
• HDSL uses Duplex transmission sending data bi-directionally against T1/E1 which uses Simplex Transmission
• HDSL transceivers can transmit a 2.048 Mbps data signal over two, 0.5mm, twisted wire pair loops at a distance of up to 4.2 km without the need for repeaters
Types of Symmetric xDSL-HDSL
67
Types of Symmetric xDSL-HDSL
68
• HDSL is designed to run at the same bit rate as a T1/E1 line (1.544/2.048 Mbps) and it uses the same number of lines, but it can achieve this same bit rate on less expensive lines over a greater distance.
• To do this, it sends a half rate signal (784/1040 kbps) on each line.
Types of Symmetric xDSL-HDSL
69
Types of Symmetric xDSL-HDSL
• Advantages– Matured and proven technology. – Very easy and economical to install.– Having decent transfer rate in both directions at 1.544/2.048
Mbps (784/1040 kbps x 2).
• Dis-advantages– Requires two twisted pairs of wires to operate
– High deployment cost for service providers.
– Slightly slower in speed than other forms of DSL,
70
71
Types of Symmetric DSL- SHDSL
• SHDSL (Single-pair HDSL)
• Single twisted pair of wires is used.
• This helps to drive the cost of a system down.
• Having transfer rate in both directions at 1.544/2.048 Mbps .
• SHDSL supports repeaters ,which further increases the reach capability
• It can be used to provide variety of rates between 192 Kbps and 2.312Mbps and can extend 5.5 km @ 256 Kbps.
• Ideally suited to SOHO market
72
Types of Symmetric DSL- SHDSL
73
• IDSL (ISDN Digital Subscriber Line).
• IDSL provides DSL technology over existing ISDN lines.• • Even though the transfer rates for IDSL are about the
same as ISDN (144kbps v. 128kbps), and IDSL circuits can only carry data (not voice), the major benefits of switching to IDSL from ISDN are
– Always-on connections, as opposed to dial-up, thus eliminating call setup delays;
– Transmission of data over the data network, rather than the PSTN.

DSL Architecture
78
DSL Central Office Components
• DSLAM (Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer)
– Aggregates traffic from multiple DSL Modems and combine it into higher speeds before sending it to the Internet or data network.
– It is a mechanism at a phone Company’s central location that links many DSL customers (Connections) to a single high speed Data Line
– DSLAMs are generally flexible and able to support multiple types of DSL in a central office
79
– DSL customer Terminates individual subscriber line and integrates it into the telephone and data networks.
– Multiple DSLAMs are further connected to B-RAS (Broad band Remote Access server) and hence to Internet Cloud.
– Splitters and filters are also located at the telephone company equipment.
– Modern DSLAMs support • Multiple DSL transmission types• ADSL, SDSL, etc• Different protocol • Different modulation techniques
DSL Central Office Components

81
• Splitter / Filters– Separates the low frequency voice signals from the
high frequency data signals.– If we will not install the DSL splitter on our telephone
line, the phone line signals can interfere with DSL modem. And we can face noise, low speed data or service break down.

DSL Coding Techniques
86
Coding Techniques for xDSL
• Many approaches have developed as a means of encoding data on to xDSL Circuits
• The Commonly used modulations are – Discrete MultiTone Modulation (DMT)
– Carrierless Amplitude Phase Modulation (CAP)
– Quadrature with Phase Modulation (QAM)
87
Line Coding Techniques for ADSL
• Discrete MultiTone Modulation (DMT)– Used in Industries – DMT uses multiple narrowband Carriers ,– DMT systems divide the frequency band into 256 sub
carriers with the standard 4.3125 kHz bandwidth.– 32 of these channels are reserved for upstream data.– All Carriers transmitting simultaneously in a parallel
transmission mode– Each of these carriers carries a portion of the
information being transmitted
