COMP514 – Advanced Communications Lecture 2: SDH Matthew Luckie mluckie@cs.waikato.ac.nz
Lecture Outline • SDH : Synchronous digital hierarchy • Self-healing rings • OAM • Fault location
Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) • Dominant standard for digital telecommunications networks
STM-1 • STM-1 frame rate 8000/second • 125 microseconds • STM-1 frame 270 columns by 9 rows • 2430 bytes / 19440 bits • 19440 * 8000 = 155.52 Mbps
STM-1 Frame Regenerator Section Overhead (RSOH) PathOverhead AU Pointer 9 Rows Multiplexer Section Overhead (MSOH) InformationPayload Section Overhead (9 bytes) Payload (261 bytes)
STM-1 / STM-n • STM-1 frames begin with A1/A2 frame alignment bytes. • Receiver can watch for this sequence every 125us to gain synchronisation • STM-n is formed by byte-multiplexing STM-1 frames. • STM-4 frame begins withA1 A1 A1 A1 A2 A2 A2 A2

SDH Multiplexers • Add-drop multiplexers allow individual streams to be added or removed from the STM-1 STM-n STM-n ADM
SDH Multiplexers • Digital Cross Connects (DXC) demux the entire stream and switch channels to other SDH circuits • Core equipment will break down to STM-n rate • Edge equipment will break down entire stream DXC STM-n STM-n STM-n
SDH Repeater • A repeater regenerates the optical signal

Operations and Maintenance (OAM) • Goals of OAM are • Performance monitoring • Fault detection • Fault notification • System protection • Point-of-fault identification
OAM • Hierarchical structure • F1: Repeater section • F2: Digital section • F3: Transmission path • F4: Virtual Path (VP) • F5: Virtual Channel (VC)
