Summary:
|
This technical paper describes typical network architectures, parameters, and implementation issues regarding broadband applications that use ITU-T G.9960/G.9961 transceivers (called here "G.996x transceivers"). G.996x devices are designed to be capable of operating over different types of physical media, using different bandplans (frequency ranges), and different sets of PHY and MAC parameters. Each of these applications has specific characteristics that may require optimized settings (configuration options) to be used. Additionally, implementations themselves need to consider various aspects of the applications, which are described in detail in this document.
This document is not an ITU-T Recommendation, but rather a tutorial that provides guidance for the user and describes how to configure ITU-T G.996x home networking systems to operate in the context of applications that require operating over various phone lines with potentially high level of crosstalk, such as phone line cables within private apartment buildings, connecting GAM equipment in the basement with GNT equipment in the individual apartments.
This technical paper does not intend to describe ITU-T G.9960/G.9961 as an alternative to Recommendations ITU-T G.9700/G.9701. Unlike the G.9700/G.9701 (also known as ITU-T G.fast), which is intended for high data rate application in the access network, ITU-T G.9960/G.9961 does not support vectoring and hence does not support peak data rates on the various phone lines in the same bundle simultaneously. Data rates will be limited due to crosstalk caused by simultaneous transmission over various phone lines.
As VDSL2, G.fast and G.hn share partially or totally the same bandwidth, the use of G.hn technology over the phone line medium can generate crosstalk that may impact the performances (data rate or Quality of Service) of VDSL2 and G.fast systems.
