Chap 4 Circuit-Switching Networks 4.1 Multiplexing Chap 4 Circuit-Switching Networks • Provide dedicated circuits between users •Example: 1. telephone network: provides 64Kbps circuits for voice signals 64Kbps=8 k samples/sec * 8 bits/sample 2. transport network: high bandwidth circuit. • Backbone interconnects telephone switches • Backbone interconnects large routers (internet) – Provide the physical layer that transfer bits • Circuit switching networks require: – Multiplexing & switching of circuits – Signaling & control for establishing circuits 4.1 Multiplexing • Sharing of transmission systems by several connections • Desirable when the bandwidth of individual connections is much smaller than that of the transmission system. – E.g. FM radio 25MHz (total) a standard FM radio signal 150Khz • Cost can be reduced by combining many signals into one – Fewer wires/pole; fiber replaces thousands of cables (a) (b) A A A A B B B MUX MUX B C C C C 1 4.1.1 Frequency-Division Multiplexing (FDM) • Frequency slots: each connection uses different frequency slot • Demultiplexer: recovers the signals •Example: – Broadcast radio AM, FM, Television AM: 10 KHz, FM: 200KHz, Television: 6MHz – Cellular telephony: e.g. AMPS, 30KHz – Guard bands: voice signal 3.4KHz, assigned 4KHz to provide guard bands Frequency-Division Multiplexing • Channel divided into frequency slots (Fig 4.2) A f 0 Wu (a) Individual signals occupy B f W Hz 0 u Wu C f 0 Wu (b) Combined signal fits into channel A B C f bandwidth 0 W 2 4.1.2 Time-Division Multiplexing (TDM) • Share a high-speed digital transmission line using temporal interleaving (Fig 4.3) … A1 A2 t 0T 3T 6T B … (a) Each signal 1 B2 t transmits 1 unit 0T 3T 6T every 3T seconds … C1 C2 t 0T 6T (b) Combined 3T signal transmits 1 unit every T A B C A B C … seconds 1 1 1 2 2 2 t 0T 1T 2T 3T 4T 5T 6T Digital Multiplexing Hierarchy • TDM used in the telephone network from early 1960s • Digital voice: 64 Kbps = 8K samples/sec *8 bit/sample PCM sample (pulse code Modulation) • T-1 carrier: 24 digital telephone connections • T-1 frame: 24 slots (8 bits/slot) + 1 “framing bit” 1 1 2 MUX MUX 2 22 23 24 24 b . b 1 2 . 24 Frame 24 Framing bit Bit Rate = 8000 frames/sec. x (1 + 8 x 24) bits/frame = 1.544 Mbps 3 Digital Multiplexing Hierarchy • T-1 or DS1 (Digital signal 1) North America and Japan basic building block of digital multiplexing hierarchy •DS2: 4DS1 + 136Kbits synchronization information (per sec) = 6.312 Mbps •DS3: 7DS2 + 552Kbits sync info = 44.736 Mbps • In Europe: CEPT-1 (E-1) = 32 64Kbps channels (30 for voices and 2 for signaling, frame alignment etc) Primary M12 M23 DS2 6.312 Mbps DS3 44.736 Mbps multiplex DS1 1.544 Mbps Multiplex Multiplex e.g., digital . switch x4 x7 24 channel PCM M13 Multiplex DS3 44.736 Mbps . x28 North American digital hierarchy (Fig 4.5) Clock Synch & Bit Slips • Digital streams cannot be kept perfectly synchronized • If the clock of input stream is slower than that of the multiplexer, bit slips can occur (Fig 4.6) • If faster, bits will accumulate at the multiplexer and get dropped Slow clock results in late bit arrival and bit slip MUX t 514 3 2 1 5 4 3 2 4 Clock Synch & Bit Slips Solution: – Multiplexer operates at a speed slightly higher than the combined speed of inputs – Indicate to the receiving multiplexer when a slip occurs – To extract an individual input stream, need to de-multiplex the entire combined signal. 64 Kbps → DS1 → DS2→ DS3→ DS2→ DS1→ voice 4.1.3 Wavelength-Division Multiplexing (WDM) • Optical domain version of FDM (λf=c) • Electrical signals → optical signals ⇒ optical → electrical limited at tens of Gbps. fiber: tens of terahertz (THz) 1 THz = 1000 GHz – e.g. 160 wavelengths * 10Gbps/wavelength = 1.6 Tbps • Huge increase in available bandwidth without investment on additional optical fiber 5 4.2 SONET • Synchronous optical network (SONET) North America • Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) Europe • S: synchronous (tightly synchronized to network based clocks, atomic clocks) 4.2.1 SONET Multiplexing • STS-1 (Synchronous-transport signal level-1) – 51.84 Mbps is the basic building block • STS-n: obtained by interleaving of bytes from n STS-1 – no additional synchronization information needed – e.g. STS-3: 3 x 51.84 = 155.52 Mbps • OC-n (optical carrier level-n) – Modulation STS-n electrical signal to optical signal • In SDH, STM-n (Synchronous transfer module-n) –STM-1 ⇔ STS-3 • STS-48/STM-16 is widely deployed in the backbone of modern communication networks 6 4.2.1 SONET Multiplexing • SONET uses the term “tributary” to refer to component streams that are multiplexed (Fig 4.10) –Flexible • Several STS-1 frames can be concatenated to accommodate signals with bit rates that cannot be handled by a single STS-1, e.g. STS-3C DS1 Low-speed DS2 mapping E1 function STS-1 51.84 Mbps Medium DS3 speed STS-1 44.736 mapping OC-n function STS-n . STS-3c MUX Scrambler E/O E4 High- STS-1 speed STS-1 mapping STS-1 139.264 function STS-3c STS-1 High- STS-1 ATM or speed STS-1 POS mapping function 4.2.2 SONET Frame Structure • Four layers: optical, section, line, path – Section: the span of fiber between two adjacent devices e.g. two regenerators • regenerator – Line: the span between two adjacent multiplexers – Path: the span between two SONET-terminals • e.g. large routers, can be SONET terminals 7 Section, Line, & Path in SONET PTE PTE LTE LTE STE STE STE SONET SONET terminal terminal MUX Reg Reg Reg MUX Section Section Section Section STS Line STS-1 Path STE = Section Terminating Equipment, e.g., a repeater/regenerator LTE = Line Terminating Equipment, e.g., a STS-1 to STS-3 multiplexer PTE = Path Terminating Equipment, e.g., an STS-1 multiplexer Fig 4.11 SONET Frame Structure • STS-1 frame structure (Fig 4.12) –9 rows x 90 columns per frame (810 bytes) – Frame rate: 8000 frames/sec – The bits are physically transmitted row by row and from left to right – Overall bit rate: 8 x 9 x 90 x 8000 = 51.84 Mbps – First three columns: section and line overhead • Section overhead: 3 rows (framing, error monitoring) • Line overhead: 6 rows (synchronization, multiplexing etc) •H1, H2, H3, in line overhead; very important – Remaining 87 columns “information payload” • 8 x 9 x 87 x 8000 = 52.122 Mbps 8 SONET Frame Structure 90 bytes Section A1 A2 87B overhead B1 3rows H H H 1 2 3 9 rows B K K Line 2 1 2 overhead 6rows 125 μs Transport overhead Information payload SONET Frame Structure • SPE (synchronous payload envelope) Fig 4.13 – First column: path overhead – SPE is not necessarily aligned to the information payload of an STS-1 frame –H1, H2 (first two bytes of line overhead) are used as a pointer to indicate where the SPE begins – When n STS-1 signals are multiplexed, they are first synchronized to the clock of the multiplexer – The STS-n frame is produced by interleaving the bytes of the n synchronized STS-1 frames ⇒ 9 rows x 90n columns (3n section, line overhead, 87n payload information) 9 Pointer First octet Frame 87 Columns k Synchronous 9 Rows payload envelope Pointer Last octet Frame k+1 First column is path overhead 10.

  • Application Note: 2-Cell Test Environment
    Application Note 2-cell Test Environment MD8475A Signalling Tester 1. Background to LTE Rollout Mobile phones appearing in the late 1980s soon experienced rapid evolution of functions from 1990 to 2000 and also spread worldwide as key communications infrastructure. The mobile phone is not limited to just two-way communications between two people but also supports sending and receiving of Short Message Services (SMS), web browsing using the Internet, application and video download, etc., and has become a popular and key cultural tool supporting a fuller lifestyle for many people. Figure 1. Evolution on UE According to one research company, total mobile phone (terminal) shipments at the end of 2010 were valued at $38 billion split between 45% for 2G phones and 49% for 3G. Table 1. Mobile Terminal Shipments Mobile Terminal Shipments ($38 billion total) LTE 1.3% WiMAX 4.0% W-CDMA 40.0% CDMA 9.3% GSM 45.4% 1 MD8475A-E-F-1 The purpose of the shift from 2G to 3G systems was to make more efficient use of frequency bandwidths and was closely related to the explosive growth of the Internet. While still maintaining the easy portability of a mobile phone, users were able to access the information they needed easily at any time and place using the Internet. Similarly to growth of 3G technology, the requirements of LTE systems, which is are positioned in the market as 3.9G to maintain competitiveness with coming 4G systems, are being examined. Connectivity with IP-based core networks must be maintained to support multimedia applications and ubiquitous networks using the packet domain.
