Page 709 Glossary 1588 PTP 1588 PTP The goal of the IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) is to provide Network Synchronization using a packet based distribution mechanism. Depending on the system application the Network Synchronization may require phase and frequency synchronization. 1588 PTP has the capability to deliver both by allowing a Client clock to track a Master clock in phase (time of day) and in frequency.
Page 710 Glossary 1588 PTP Peer Delay mechanism uses message Pdelay Request, Pdelay  Response, and if required Pdelay Response Follow Up. This mechanism is restricted to topologies where each peer-to-peer port communicates PTP messages with, at most, one other such port. Peer Delay is not supported by the Telecom Profile.
Page 711 Glossary 1588 PTP The 1588 PTP supports the following Master/Client communication; however Unicast is used for the Telocom Profile. Multicast: A Master clock sends its Sync/Follow Up and Delay  Response in a multicast mode. A Client can collect information from many Master clocks and select the Master clock that is best suited for its application.
Page 712 Glossary 1588 PTP Telecom Profile G.8265.1 The Telecom Profile G.8265.1 is designed for frequency synchronization in Telecom network applications. The main attributes of this profile are: Unicast communication with the Grand Master  UDP/IPv4 network layer  With the Telecom Profile, the Client Clock initiates the communication to the Master Clock by making a request for service that consists of sending Signaling messages containing a REQUEST UNICAST TRANSMISSION TLV to the IP address of the Master Clock.
Page 713 Glossary 1588 PTP The following diagram shows the sequence of message exchange between a Client Clock and a Master Clock. First, the Client request Unicast Announce message service.

Page 715: Cpri
Glossary CPRI CPRI Overview Traditional mobile installations are bulky (use thick coaxial cables) and require a lot of power to operate (there is a huge power loss in the coaxial cabling which often requires the use of Tower Mounted Amplifiers) as outlined in the following figure.
Page 716 Glossary CPRI This protocol called Common Public Radio Interface (CPRI) separates a traditional radio base station configuration into two separate elements: Radio Equipment Control (REC) and the Radio Equipment (RE). The REC processes the baseband radio digital information and performs the control of the Radio Equipment.
Page 717 Glossary CPRI Functional Description As mentioned earlier, CPRI remotely locates the RE from the REC. This means that the RE must be controlled, managed and synchronized from the REC in addition to transporting the User information (Voice and user application data) and all that on the same digital link. As such, CPRI is composed of 3 communication flows multiplexed into a single serial signal transmitted in the same optical fiber as illustrated in the following figure.
Page 718 Glossary CPRI CPRI Model The CPRI Model revolves around the 3 communication flows described above. CPRI defines only the Layer 1 and Layer 2 associated to these communication flows as outlined in the following figure. The User Data Plane contains mostly voice/data traffic in the form of IQ Data samples.
Page 719 Glossary CPRI Physical Interface CPRI offers 8 options in terms of interface rates. Rates below 10G uses 8B/10B line coding as per CPRI V6.0 while rates above 10G use 64B/66B coding. Depending on the rates used, scrambling is optional. Depending on the CPRI signal structure (Framed or Unframed) the scrambling is either manually configured or negotiated.

Glossary G.709 Optical Transport Network (OTN) G.709 Optical Transport Network (OTN) Overview The optical transport network (OTN) combines the benefits of SONET/SDH technology with the bandwidth expansion capabilities offered by dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) technology. The OTN consists of the following layers: Optical Transport Section (OTS) ...
Page 723 Glossary G.709 Optical Transport Network (OTN) Each of these layers and their functions are distributed along the network and activated when they reach their termination points, which are illustrated in the following figure. OTN Layer Termination Points The termination of the OTS, OMS and OCh layers is performed at the optical level of the OTN.
Page 724 Glossary G.709 Optical Transport Network (OTN) The OTU, ODU (including the ODU tandem connection) and OPU layers can all be analyzed and monitored. As per ITU G.709, current test solutions offer these possibilities using the following line rates: OTU1 (255/238 x 2.488 320 Gbit/s ≈ 2.666057143 Gbit/s) also referred to ...

Page 726 Glossary G.709 Optical Transport Network (OTN) As depicted above, to create an OTU frame, a client signal rate is first adapted at the OPU layer. The adaptation consists of adjusting the client signal rate to the OPU rate. Its overhead contains information to support the adaptation of the client signal.
Page 727 Glossary G.709 Optical Transport Network (OTN) OTU Frame Structure and Overhead As shown in the figure below, the OTU frame is broken down into the following components: Framing  OTL, OTU, ODU, OPU overhead  OTU FEC  OTU Frame Description Power Blazer...
Page 728 Glossary G.709 Optical Transport Network (OTN) Framing  The OTU framing is divided into two portions: FAS and MFAS. The frame alignment signal (FAS) uses the first six bytes and, similarly to SONET/SDH, it is used to provide framing for the entire signal. In order to provide enough 1/0 transitions for synchronization, scrambling is used over the entire OTU frame, except for the FAS bytes.
Page 729 Glossary G.709 Optical Transport Network (OTN) Optical Transport Unit (OTU)  The OTU overhead is comprised of the SM, GCC0 and RES bytes. The section monitoring (SM) bytes are used for the trail trace identifier (TTI), parity (BIP-8) and the backward error indicator (BEI), or backward incoming alignment error (BIAE), backward defect indicator (BDI), and incoming alignment error (IAE).
Page 730 Glossary G.709 Optical Transport Network (OTN) Optical Data Unit (ODU)  The ODU overhead is broken into several fields: RES, PM, TCMi, TCM ACT, FTFL, EXP , GCC1/GCC2 and APS/PCC. The reserved (RES) bytes are undefined and are set aside for future applications.
Page 731 Glossary G.709 Optical Transport Network (OTN) Optical Payload Unit (OPU)  The primary overhead field associated to the OPU is the Payload Structure Identifier (PSI). This is a 256 bytes multi-frame where its first byte is defined as the Payload Type (PT). The remaining 255 bytes are currently reserved.
Page 732 Glossary G.709 Optical Transport Network (OTN) Tandem Connection Monitoring (TCM) TCM enables the user and its signal carriers to monitor the quality of the traffic that is transported between segments or connections in the network. SONET/SDH allowed a single level of TCM to be configured, while ITU G.709 allows six levels of tandem connection monitoring to be configured.
Page 733 Glossary G.709 Optical Transport Network (OTN) Each of the six TCMi fields in the ODU overhead is assigned to a monitored connection. There can be from zero to six connections that can be configured for each connection. In the figure Tandem Connection Monitoring on page 720, there are three different connections that are actually monitored.
Page 734 Glossary G.709 Optical Transport Network (OTN) The FEC uses a Reed-Solomon RS (255/239) coding technique. This means that 239 bytes are required to compute a 16-byte parity check. The FEC can correct up to eight (bytes) errors per sub-row (codeword) or detect up to 16 byte errors without correcting any.
Page 735 Glossary G.709 Optical Transport Network (OTN) ODU Multiplexing The ODU multiplexer is a function that allows the multiplexing of ODU tributary signals into higher OTN signal rates. The G.709 standard supports 2 types of ODU multiplexer which can be classified as follows: Legacy architecture is based on multi-stage architecture to bring an ...
Page 736 Glossary G.709 Optical Transport Network (OTN) The main attributes of the ODU multiplexer functionality are as follows: The Asynchronous Mapping Procedure (AMP) is used for multiplexing  the tributary signals; this method uses a modified Justification Control mechanism which has 2 positive Justification Control bytes and one negative Justification Control byte.
Page 737 Glossary G.709 Optical Transport Network (OTN) ODUflex ODUflex provides the capability to carry client payload of variable size with a container size of 1.244 Gbit/s granularity. An ODUflex (L) signal can be transported once multiplexed in an ODUk (H) signal, the multiplexer in this case handles tributary slots of 1.244 Gbit/s and has a Payload Type 21.

Page 739: Generic Framing Procedure (Gfp)
Glossary Generic Framing Procedure (GFP) Generic Framing Procedure (GFP) Generic framing procedure (GFP), defined in ITU recommendation G.7041/Y.1303, is a framing mechanism to transport packet-based client signals, such as Ethernet, Fibre Channel, ESCON, FICON, over fixed-data-rate optical channels. As such, GFP provides a single, flexible mechanism to map these client signals into SONET/SDH and OTN networks, as shown in figure below.
Page 740 Glossary Generic Framing Procedure (GFP) Other methods have focused on using point-to-point protocol (PPP). The IP traffic coming to an Ethernet port is encapsulated over a PPP link and multiple ports can be encapsulated over multilink PPP (ML-PPP) links. By using an HDLC framing, the PPP traffic is transported over the SONET/SDH payload.
Page 741 Glossary Generic Framing Procedure (GFP) GFP Mapping Two types of mapping are currently available for GFP: framed-mapped (GFP-F) and transparent-mapped (GFP-T), whose mappings keep the same basic frame structure, as will be shown in the next sections. The decision on which mode to use is dependent on the underlying service to be transported.
Page 742 Glossary Generic Framing Procedure (GFP) The figure GFP-T vs GFP-F Features below provides a functional comparison between GFP-F and GFP-T, while figure GFP-T vs. GFP-F Frames below provides a comparison of the GFP frames for both modes. GFP-T vs GFP-F Features GFP-T vs.
Page 743 Glossary Generic Framing Procedure (GFP) Functionally, GFP consists of both common and client-specific aspects. Common GFP aspects apply to all GFP-adapted traffic (i.e., both GFP-F and GFP-T) and cover functions such as packet data unit (PDU) delineation, data link synchronization and scrambling, client PDU multiplexing, and client-independent performance monitoring.
Page 744 Glossary Generic Framing Procedure (GFP) The GFP generic frame structure is presented in figure below. GFP Generic Frame Structure Each GFP frame type consists of three main components: the core header, the payload header, and the payload information field. The core and payload headers form the GFP header, whereas the payload information field represents the customer traffic carrying the data services.
Page 745 Glossary Generic Framing Procedure (GFP) Core Header  The GFP core header consists of a two-octet length field, specifying the length of the GFP frame's payload area in octets, and a two-octet field containing a CRC-16 error-check code. Payload Length Indicator (PLI): The PLI is a two-byte field ...
Page 746 Glossary Generic Framing Procedure (GFP) Payload FCS Indicator (PFI): A one-bit subfield indicating the  presence (1) or absence (0) of the payload FCS field. The following table lists the currently defined PFI values. Description FCS Absent FCS Present Extension Header Identifier (EXI): A four-bit subfield identifying ...

Page 748 Glossary Generic Framing Procedure (GFP) Type HEC (tHEC) Field: A two-octet field that contains a CRC-16  sequence to protect the integrity of the type field. The tHEC sequence is computed over the core header bytes using standard CRC-16. As with the cHEC, CRC-16 enables both single-bit error correction and multibit error detection.
Page 749 Glossary Generic Framing Procedure (GFP) Payload Information Field  The payload area (also referred to as payload information field) contains the framed client signal. This variable-length field may include from 0 to 65,535 – X octets, where X is the size of the payload header (including the extension header, if present) and the payload FCS field (if present).
Page 750 Glossary Generic Framing Procedure (GFP) GFP Summary GFP has been standardized to better optimize the transport of Ethernet and other data services over SONET, taking into account both the pros and cons of ATM and PPP/HDLC framing mechanisms. As described in this section, GFP represents a robust mapping mechanism that allows for the mapping of multiple client-data types into SONET/SDH payload (SPEs).

Glossary OBSAI OBSAI Overview Traditional mobile installations are bulky (use thick coaxial cables) and require a lot of power to operate (there is a huge power loss in the coaxial cabling which often requires the use of Tower Mounted Amplifiers) as outlined in the following figure.
Page 753 Glossary OBSAI This protocol called Open Base Station Architecture Initiative (OBSAI) separates a traditional radio base station configuration into two separate elements: Base Transceiver Station (BTS) and Remote Radio Head (RRH). The BTS processes the digital baseband radio information and performs the control of the RRH.
Page 754 Glossary OBSAI OBSAI RP3-01 System Architecture OBSAI remotely locates the RRH from the BTS. This means that the RRH must be controlled, managed and synchronized from the BTS in addition to transporting the User information (Voice and user application data) and all that on the same digital link, the RP3-01.

Page 767: Synce
Glossary SyncE SyncE Synchronous Ethernet or SyncE enables a traceable network timing reference frequency to be distributed node-by-node across a chain of Ethernet devices (SyncE compliant devices only). The network timing reference is typically hierarchically traceable to a Primary Reference Source/Clock (PRS/PRC) in a unidirectional flow.
Page 768 Glossary SyncE In order for an Ethernet interface to be considered Synchronous Ethernet compliant it needs to be upgraded as shown in the following diagram. In addition to supporting the ESMC channel, this upgrade consists in allowing the recovered clock from the CDR to be propagated to a function called the Ethernet Equipment Clock (EEC).
