| ITU-T Study Group 15 Area of Responsibility (Study Period 1997 - 2000) |
Study Group 15 shall develop and maintain
Recommendations on:
- transport related aspects of networks (including the signal processing aspects of
network echo control), taking into account the general network concept and network
performance objectives set by other Study Groups
- systems and equipment for transport networks (e.g. SDH/ATM multiplexing,
cross-connect and switching equipment, muldexes and statistical muldexes for data
applications);
- line transmission systems and equipment for access network and core network
applications on optical and metallic media;
- application of TMN to facilitate the management of transport networks, systems
and equipment in accordance with the general TMN concept set up by Study Group 4;
- implementation of SDH and PDH digital hierarchies (e.g. bit rates, interfaces,
multiplexing structure, etc.);
- transmission techniques and associated implementation topologies for the local
loop and access environments (e.g. PON, photonic network, etc.);
- coordination
and harmonization of the ITU-T work on access network transport (Lead Study Group).
