What is Mapping
• This is the procedure by which tributaries are adapted into
virtual container.
• Container of C-11, C-12, C-2, C-3, C-4 type are filled with
plesiochronous signal.
• Mapping is the first step in creation of STM-N frame

What is Alignment
• This is the procedure by which the frame offset
information is incorporated into the Tributary unit or
Administrative unit.
• Alignment applied after the complition of Mapping.
• It is the process in which Virtual Container is
adapted to TU or AU.

What is Multiplexing
• It is a process in which multiple Higher order path layer
signals are Adapted into a Multiplex section.
• Also if the multiple Lower order path layer signals Adapted
to Higher order path layer signals.
• With multiplexing STM-N frame is completed.

Principle of SDH Multiplexing
• Depending upon the PDH bit rates, various VCs are formed.

• VC-1, VC-3 and VC-4 are formed for European PDH bit rates
2 Mbps, 34 Mbps and 140 Mbps respectively.

• STM-N frame is fully synchonized, but the location of VCs
within a STM-N frame are not be fixed with time.

• Multiplexing scheme allows each container of
any size and bit rate (PDH’s) to be fit in STM-
N frame.

Way of Integrating PDH Signal in STM-1
frame:

Multiplexing of 140Mbps Signal
•

Synchronous multiplexing of 140 Mbps signal Involves,

• Forming Container C-4

• Forming Virtual Container VC-4

• Forming Administrative Unit AU-4

• Formation of Administrative Unit Group (AUG)

• Adding SOH to form STM-1

Synchronous multiplexing of 34 Mbps signal Involves,


• Forming Virtual Container VC-3

• Forming Tributary Unit TU-3

• Formation of Tributary Unit Group (TUG-3)

• Multiplexing TUG-3 into VC-4

• Next Procedure same as 140Mbps

Synchronous Multiplexing of 2 Mbps signal Involves,


• Forming Virtual container (VC-12)

• Forming Tributary Unit (TU-12)

• Multiplexing of TU-12 to form TUG-3

Introduction

• Devices that implement SDH transmission referred as
SDH NE’s.
• NE’s include regenerator section, multiplex section
and path terminating section equipment's.
• SDH NE’s integrate to form the Digital loop
carrier(DLC) to support SDH architecture and
topologies.
• SDH NE are subdivided into various layers.

SDH Networks in Layers

SDH as a Layered Model

Terminal Multiplexer
• TM is a path terminating element that concentrate or
aggregate DS1,E1s ,STM-Ns.
• Various PDH signals are mapped with their associated
SDH electrical payload in TM. For eg.

Terminal Multiplexer

• Application of TM:
1. Transmission system (STM-1, STM-4,STM-16)
2. Multiplexing of Signals
3. For higher bit rates signals
4. Point-to-point (Chain network)

ADD/DROP Multiplexer(ADM)
• PTE that can multiplex & demultiplex various signals
to or from STM-N signals. At add/drop side, only
those signals that need to be accessed are dropped or
inserted. Remaining traffic continues through NE
without signal processing.
• Single stage ADM can multiplex or demultiplex one
or more tributary signals to or from STM-N. Used in
Terminal side(low speed side) where lower bit rate
signals can add or drop into high speed SDH signals.

ADM

• Automatic back-up path switching is possible using
elements in ring in fault.
• Next generation multiservice platform have their roots
in ADM which carry data services over SDH.

REGENERATORS
• It regenerates attenuated signals which causes due to
long distance between multiplexer.(Signals becomes
too low to drive receiver)
• Also called as repeater. As it retransmit regenerated
high power signal. They derive their clock signal from
incoming data stream.
• Since 1990, REG have been replaced by optical
amplifier.

REGENERATORS

• Functions of REG.:
1. Regeneration of signals
2. Amplification
3. Retransmission of high power signals toward
receiver.
• Applications:
1. In point-to-point and in ring network
2. For long haul distance communication

DIGITAL CROSS-CONNECT(DXC)
• Used for setting up semi-permanent interconnection
between different channels. Regroup & switch data
streams between interfaces of cross connect system.
For eg. UMUX- multiservice access system( equipped
for cross connect system with STM-4 system).
• 2 types- 1.Broadband DXC & 2.Wideband DXC

DIGITAL CROSS-CONNECT(DXC)
• Core function is cross connection
• Used at hub stations.
• Used for grooming telecommunication traffic,
switching traffic from one to other in network failure
condition

NETWORK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
• NMS is combination of software & hardware used to
monitor and administer a network.
• Network elements(NE’s ) in a network are managed
by this NMS system.
• NMS manages NE such as fault, accounting,
configuration and performance managements.
• NMS employs various protocols to perform these
tasks such as SNMP protocol can be used to gather
information from devices in network.

Introduction
1)How the nodes in the system are connected.
2)Topology can be considered at many different levels:
physical, logical, connection, or organizational.
3)Topology is considered in terms of the information
flow.
– Nodes in the graph are individual computers or
programs,
– links between nodes indicate that those nodes are
sharing information regularly in the system.

Topology types
a) Point to point topology
b) Point to multipoint topology
c)Ring topology
d)Mesh topology
e)Star topology

Ring topology
• A single centralized server cannot handle high client
load, so a common solution is to use a cluster of
machines arranged in a ring to act as a distributed
server.
• Communication between the nodes coordinates state-
sharing, producing a group of nodes that provide
identical function but have failover and load-
balancing capabilities.
• Unlike the other topologies here, ring systems are
generally built assuming the machines are all nearby
on the network and owned by a single organization.

Mesh topology

Each node is connected to every other
node.
Allows communication to continue in the
event of a break in any one connection
It is “Fault Tolerant.”

Mesh Topology advantages
&disadvantages
Advantage.
1.Improves Fault Tolerance

Disadvantages.
1.Expensive
2.Difficult to install
3.Difficult to manage
4.Difficult to troubleshoot

Star topology

All computers connect to a centralized point.
The central point is called the hub.

Star topology advantages
• Advantages
• Easy to add devices as the network expands
• One cable failure does not bring down the
entire network (resilience)
• Hub provides centralised management
• Easy to find device and cable problems
• Can be upgraded to faster speeds
• Lots of support as it is the most used

Star topology disadvantages

Disadvantages
A star network requires more cable than a ring
or bus network
Failure of the central hub can bring down the
entire network
Costs are higher (installation and equipment)
than for most bus networks
