  1. CS 4594 Broadband Communications SONET

  2. Synchronous Optical Network • SONET = Synchronous Optical Network • First standardized by ANSI/ECSA, now SDH by ITU-T. • SONET is Time Division Multiplexing (TDM). • SONET encompasses optical and electrical specifications. • SONET uses octet multiplexing. • SONET uses extremely precise timing. • SONET provides support for operation, maintenance, and administration (OAM).

  3. SONET is superior to T-3 and T-4 • with improved (over T-carrier) • transport performance • ability to identify substreams • international connectivity • enhanced control and administrative functions

  4. SONET electrical signal hierarchy • STS-1 = Synchronous transport signal level 1 • speed = 51.84 Mbit/s • designed to carry DS-3 or a combination of DS-1, DS-1C, and DS-2 signals that are equivalent to DS-3 • STS-N = Synchronous transport signal level N • speed = N x 51.84 Mbit/s • designed to carry multiple STS-1 • octet multiplexed STS-1

  5. SONET optical signal hierarchy • OC-1 = Optical carrier level 1 (caries STS-1) • OC-N = Optical carrier level N (caries STS-N)

  6. Sections, Lines, and Paths • Sections are bounded by repeaters or multiplexers that terminate the line. • Lines may carry several tributary signals.Lines are bounded by multiplexers. • A path goes end to end (between terminating multiplexers).

  7. MPX MPX M1 M1 SECTION, LINE, and PATH repeater repeater section section section line path

  8. STS-1 Frame • Each STS frame lasts 125 microseconds (8000 types a second) • STS-1 frame has 6480 bits = 810 octets • The octets are understood in terms of a table of 9 rows of 90 columns

  9. SONET Frame 3 Columns 87 Columns Sonet Frame 9 rows

  10. STS-1 Frame - Columns • The first three columns contain TOH = Transport Overhead: • TOH has 9 rows by 3 columns (27 octets) which is subdivided into • SOH = Section Overhead: 9 octets (3 rows of 3 columns) • LOH = Line Overhead:18 octets (6 rows of 3 columns)

  11. MPX MPX M1 M1 SECTION, LINE, and PATH repeater repeater section section section line path

  12. Overhead patterns - Section and Line Section Overhead Line Overhead

  13. Overhead Streams • Section Overhead (SOH) defines and identifies frames, and monitors section errors and communication between section terminating equipment • Line Overhead (LOH) locates first octet of SPE and monitors line errors and communication between terminating equipment • Path Overhead (POH) verifies connection, and monitors path errors, receiver status, and communication between path terminating equipment

  14. STS-1 Frame - Columns • The last 87 columns hold SPEs = Synchronous Payload Envelope • SPE has 9 rows by 87 columns which are divided into • POH = Path Overhead • payload • The SPE does not necessarily start in column 4. • The SPE does not necessarily stay within one frame.

  15. Two SONET Frames 3 Columns 87 Columns Sonet Frame 9 rows
