Guidance on the configuration of these two parameters in North American implementations of VDSL2. Although this TR provides information on the co

18、L2 Recommendations 4 UPSTREAM POWER BACK OFF CONFIGURATION This Technical Report (TR) provides guidance on the configuration of the a and b values for UPBO for VDSL2 in North America. This TR provides guidance to the Industry in the following areas: Clause 4.1 discusses the meaning of the UPBO param

19、eters a and b for VDSL2 and the context in which they are used by a North American Operator. As the values of a and b can be used to optimize UPBO with respect to the specifics of a Network Operators plant in particular locations, the TR provides guidance as to the meaning of the parameters and the

20、general effects of changes in their values. However, specific techniques for optimizing the values are not in the scope of this TR. Clause 4.2 provides a discussion on optimum values for a and b . Clause 4.3 Provides examples of the use of a and b on sample loops of various gauges. This TR emphasize

21、s that in North America the values for a and b be configurable by the Network Operator, as is currently required in the ITU-T Recommendations, to enable optimization of UPBO. NOTE: The analysis that follows assumes the limit mask is flat for each upstream band (i.e. beyond the reference length used

22、for an upstream band Ui,), the PSD level will nominally be aiacross the entire band. 4.1 What are the UPBO a and b parameters In G.993.2 1, the PSD Mask for Upstream Power Back Off (UPBO), UPBOMASK, is defined in Section 7.2.1.3.2 of that recommendation by formulas which define the UPBOMASK as funct

23、ions of f , frequency, in Mhz, kl0, electrical length of the loop as defined in G.997.1 2, and two variables a and b . In the equations defining UPBOMASK in Section 7.2.1.3.2 of G.993.2, the term abf defines a reference PSD based on an assumed nominal transmit PSD and the loss on an assumed Referenc

24、e Loop of a particular Reference Length. The formulas that define UPBOMASK use a to set an assumed nominal transmit PSD and b to model a loop that corresponds to the Reference Length (RL) where ATIS-0600023 4 the loss on the reference loop is modeled as being proportional to f such that bf approxima

25、tes the loss of a loop of length RL. When a is set to the nominal transmit PSD3for a particular band, the effect of the term abf on the formula for UPBOMASK is that no upstream power back off is applied for loops whose electrical length, kl0, is greater than the RL that is determined by the setting

26、ofb . ITU-T Recommendation G.997.1 4 defines the parameter UPBOPSD-pb to allow the Network Operator to configure a and b for each upstream band except US0.4. Figure 1 illustrates the relationship between various settings of b and reference lengths of 26 AWG loops at 1000ft, 1500ft, 2000ft, 2621ft5,

27、and 3000ft and insertion loss modeled across the VDSL2 US1 band6. In general, the values of a and b are set to same values for all loops in a binder. As mentioned above, a is typically set to the Transmit Template PSD, which for the VDSL2 US1 and US2 bands is the Limit PSD Mask 3.5dB. The value of a

28、 is configurable to allow the Network Operator to tune the behavior of UPBO when a PSD Mask is set in the upstream direction that modifies the Transmit Template PSD for a modem to one below the Transmit Template PSD. 3The default nominal transmit PSD in VDSL2 is (LimitMask for the band 3.5) dB. This

29、 PSD is flat for US Bands in Annex A of VDSL2.) 4As the formula abf has units of dBm / Hz in the definitions of a and b in the ITU-T Recommendations and in the guidance provided in this TR, the values of a are in units of dBm / Hz and of b are in units of dB / Hz . 5This is equivalent to the value o

30、f b proposed for the default for the US1 band in ATIS-0600424.2004 (R2009) 3 for the F noise model and the M2 template. This graph indicates that such a value for b equates to a RL of 2621 ft. 6Clause 4.3 provides a examples of a and b settings for the US1 and US2 bands for both 26 AWG and 24 AWG lo

31、ops. ATIS-0600023 5 Figure 1 - Various Reference Lengths and Best Fit Values of b in the US 1 Band Increasing the reference length (RL, that is increasing b) in the UPBO formulas results in lowered upstream FEXT from shorter loops into the longer loops. However, the reduced power also leads to reduc

32、ing the maximum upstream bit rate available on the short loops to a rate at least equal to that which would be possible if the short loop length were equal in the length the RL. Increasing the value.of bthus reduces the upstream bandwidth achievable on all the loops shorter than the RL. 4.2 Issues o

33、n the Optimization of UPBO Determining the optimum setting of b for any particular implementation of VDSL2 involves evaluating the above trade off in terms of both particular characteristics of the Network Operators loop plant and their specific VDSL2 customer service models and requirements. Becaus

34、e of this, determining an optimum value of b for VDSL2 is likely to be dependent on conditions specific to particular Network Operators environments, possibly varying among different metropolitan areas or even in some cases from access node to access node. It must be assumed if UPBO is to be configu

35、red in a North American field implementation that equipment supporting VDSL2 is compliant with the ITU-T Recommendations G.997.1 and G.993.2 with respect to the ability to set the values of a and b . That is the values of a and b must be configurable by the Network Operator if they are to utilize UP

36、BO. ATIS-0600023 6 4.3 Examples of the a and b Settings for North American Loops The following tables provide a list of b values and the corresponding Reference Length (RL) - for example, 26 AWG and 24 AWG loops in the US1 and US2 VDSL2 bands. In all these tables a is set to a value of the Transmit

37、Template PSD as defined in G.993.2 section 7.2.1 and Annex A1 which for the VDSL2 US1 and US2 bands is the Limit PSD Mask 3.5dB. That is: US1 band: a 53dBm / Hz US2 band: a 54dBm / Hz The examples in these tables provide guidance as to acceptable initial values for b in North America for the example

38、 loops listed below. However, as discussed in 4.2, they are not necessarily optimal values for any particular field implementation of VDSL2 and are not recommended default values for b in North America. Guidance for the US0 and US3 bands is for further study. Table 1 - b vs Reference Length (RL) for
