  • Page 608 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 609 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 610 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 611 Glossary 1588 PTP If the Master Clock has sufficient capacity to handle the Client Clock request, it responds with a signaling message containing a GRANT UNICAST TRANSMISSION TLV. The REQUEST UNICAST TRANSMISSION TLV contains several parameters: messageType is the type of service being requested: Announce, ...
  • Page 612 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. When this is granted and the first Announce message is received, the Client can check the QL value conveyed in the clockClass field of the message.
  • Page 613 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 614 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 615 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 616 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 617 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.

The OTN consists of the following layers: Optical Transport Section (OTS) ...
  • Page 621 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 622 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 624 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 625 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 NetBlazer...
  • Page 626 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 627 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 628 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 629 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 630 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 631 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 618, there are three different connections that are actually monitored.
  • Page 632 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 633 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.

  • Page 634 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 648 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.
