2. 2 Introduction Some notes and new terms: - PSTN and Internet - digital / analog - frequency bands, bandwidths - busy time of circuit - bandwidth, delay, latency - utilizing of twisted pairs (of metallic networks) - several forms of DSLs  xDSL - ‘bonded channels’ - statistical multiplexing - and others – see next pages

11. 11 HDSL group

12. 12  HDSL Fig.7 HDSL time frame for 2-pairs system data blocks synchro - group 1 st pair 2 nd pair H - HDSL service bits, S - stuffing symbols, Zn – identification bits of both pair and data block

13. 13 Fig.8 HDSL transmission principle 2 x 3 x DLL = Dig.Local Line pairs service channel Tab. Comparision of 2- and 3-pair HDSL (for unique pair HDSL is v p = 2320 kbps) User side HDSL link portion terminal unit exchange unit I – application interface M – mapping circuits C – common circuits of link termination REG – regenerator H – HDSL transmitter and receiver

14. 14 Fig. General reference configuration for xDSL systems [6]

15. 15 Fig. HDSL reference model vs. xDSL general reference model [6] Note: - HDSL can consist of 1, 2 or 3 pc. of H, REG and DLL, in the dependence from data transmission intensity - REG is not obligatory
