SDH OVERVIEW

SDH – Definition
Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) is a standard
which is developed by the International
Telecommunication Union (ITU)
It is documented in standard G.707 and its extension G.708
It was developed to replace the Plesiochronous Digital
Hierarchy (PDH) system for transporting large amounts of
telephone and data traffic and to allow for interoperability
between equipment from different vendors
5
Limitation of PDH
INTERFACES:
Electrical interfaces
There are only regional standards, instead of universal standards
Optical interfaces
No unified standards for optical line equipments, manufacturers
develop equipment according to their own standards
6
PDH: the electric interface is a standard interface, but the opticalinterface is not a standard interface

Limitations of PDH
MULTIPLEXING METHOD:
Asynchronous Multiplexing
Code rate justification is required for matching and
accepting clock difference
The locations of the low-rate signals in high-rate signals
are not regular nor fixed

Limitations of PDH
OPERATION & MAINTENANCE (OAM)
PDH signal frame structure has very few overhead bytes
for Operation, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM)
NETWORK MANAGEMENT INTERFACE
No universal network management interface for PDH

Advantages of SDH over PDH
INTERFACEElectrical interfaces
SDH provides a set of standard rate levels----STM-N.
(N= 4n =1, 4, 16, 64……).The basic signal transmission structure level is STM-1, at a rate of155Mb/s
Optical interfacesOptical interfaces adopt universal standards. Line coding of SDHsignals involves scrambling, instead of inserting redundancy codes

Advantages of SDH over PDH
OPERATION & MAINTENANCEAbundant overhead bits are used for OAM.
Unnecessary to add redundancy bits to monitor lineperformance during line coding
COMPATIBILITYSDH network and the existing PDH network can worktogether
SDH network can accommodate the signals of other hierarchiessuch as ATM, FDDI, and Ethernet
SDH FRAME STRUCTURE
19
STM-N Frame Structure
For the convenience of signal analysis, the frame
structures of the signals are often illustrated as block
frame structures
The frame structure of PDH signals, ATM signals and
data packets of IP network are also block frames
The frame of E1 signals is a block frame of 1 Rows x
32 Columns consisting of 32 Bytes

SDH Frame Structure - ANATOMY
Transmission rate of single byte of STM-N frame:
STM-N frame contains 2430xN Bytes and each frame is
transmitted every 125 μs
That means a given byte is transmitted 8000 times a second
Transmission rate of a single byte:
8000 x 8 = 64 Kbps
Transmission rate of a STM-1 frame:
9 rows x 270 columns x 8000 frames/s x 8 bits = 15,55,20,000 bps
= 155.52 Mbps

SDH Frame Structure
Payload – area for services transmission in STM-N
2M, 34M, and 140M signals are packed and carried
in the payload of STM-N frame over SDH network
Path Overhead (POH) – after packing low rate
signals, POH is added for OAM of every frame
25
SDH Frame Structure
Section Overhead (SOH) – monitors the whole STM-N frame
Regenerator Section Overhead (RSOH) – monitors thewhole STM-N frame.
Multiplex Section Overhead (MSOH) – monitors eachSTM-1 of the STM-N frame.
RSOH, MSOH, and POH compose the integratedmonitoring system of SDH.

Terminal Multiplexer (TM)
Add/Drop Multiplexer (ADM)
Regenerator (REG)
27
Regenerator
Regenerator has the job of regenerating the clock and amplitude
relationships of the incoming data signals that have attenuated
and distorted by dispersion
The regenerator replaces the RSOH bytes before re-transmitting
the signal

How to understand SOH and POH?
Both SOH and POH are OAM bytes added to ensure correct andflexible transmission of signals
SOH and POH are used in different layers to supervise andadministrate the signals. RSOH and MSOH are used in RS and MSseparately, but HPOH and LPOH are used for VC-3/VC4 and VC12
LPOH----used to supervise small package (VC-12)
HPOH----used to supervise big package (VC-3 / VC-4)
MSOH----used to supervise the “carriage”(STM-1) of the “truck”
RSOH----used to supervise the motorcade formed by trucks (STM-4/16/64)
33
SDH Frame Structure
AU Pointer (AU-PTR)Used for alignment of lower rate signals in the payload of STM-Nframe to accurately locate the payload
AU-PTR is added in transmitting end, when the signal is packedinto the payload of STM-N frame
At receiving end, the low rate signal is dropped from STM-Nframe according to the AU-PTR value
Low-rate signals in the STM frame are arranged obeying somerules – byte interleave; so only have to locate the first low-ratesignal in the STM frame
SDH MULTIPLEXING

Mapping, Aligning and MultiplexingLow-rate tributaries are multiplexed into STM-N signals through three procedures:
Mapping
Aligning
Multiplexing.
MAPPINGSDH mapping is a procedure by which tributaries are adapted into virtual containers at theboundary of an SDH network, for example, E1 into VC-12, E3 into VC-3, E4 into VC-4.
ALIGNINGSDH aligning is a procedure by which the frame-offset information is incorporated into thetributary unit, by adding a pointer
The pointer value constantly locates the start point of the VC frame within the payload, so thatthe receiving end can correctly separate the corresponding VC
MULTIPLEXINGSDH multiplexing is the procedure by which multiple lower order path layer signals are adaptedinto a higher order path

B2 Bytes
The B1 byte monitors the transmission error of the
complete STM-N frame signal
The B2 bytes monitor the error performance status for
each STM-1 frame within the STM-N frame
There are N*3 B2 bytes in an STM-N frame with
every three B2 bytes corresponding to an STM-1 frame
66
B2 BytesB2 Byte Principle
At transmitting end, the BIP-Nx24 is computed over all bits of the STM-N frame except for the first three rows of SOH, and the result is placedin 3 bytes B2 of the preceding frame before scrambling.At receiving end, the BIP- Nx24 is computed over all bits of the frameexcept for the first three rows of SOH, and then Exclusive OR with theB2 bytes of the later arrived frame.If the value of Exclusive OR operation is zero, there is no bit block error.Any mismatch in result indicates transmission errors.
For exampleBIP-N×24 is computed overa frame of signal composedof 9 bytes.

BIP-2Parity code of VC-12
LP-REILow order Path Remote Error Indication
LP-REI is set to "1" and returned to the opposite direction if one or more errors are detected via BIP-2
LP-RFILow order Path Remote Failure Indication
If a defect condition persists beyond the maximum allowed time, it becomes a failure, then LP-RFI is set to "1"and sent back to the source
Signal LabelIndicates type and composition of VC-12 tributary information
LP-RDILow order Path Remote Defect Indication
If sink end detects a TU-12 AIS, it sets LP-RDI to "1" and sends back to the source
