Foreword This Technical Report (TR) has been produced by ETSI Technical Committee PowerLine Telecommunications (PL
4、T) STF 332. The present document describes test cases prepared for a Plugtests event on coexistence between PLT modem systems. Introduction The Plugtests on the coexistence between PLT modem systems are performed to confirm the robustness of the CDCF as defined in PLT WI20 PLT39_TD_19a1.zip and to v
5、erify the protocol by tests on prototypes of different vendors, as available. A Special Task Force (STF) 332 was established to model the CDCF mechanism on sub MAC layer, to define suitable test cases for the Plugtests and to perform and report the results of the Plugtests. The aim of the Plugtests
6、is to verify the coexistence protocol given in the PLT WI20 drafts. The tasks of the STF with regard to PLT WI20 Plugtests are in detail: Describe and identify Plugtests to be done; Prepare test beds for the Plugtests; Perform the Plugtests; and Report the results of the Plugtests.

7、615 V1.1.1 (2008-02) 5 1 Scope The test cases defined in the present document are designed to verify the coexistence mechanism as defined in PLT-WI20 drafts. They are applicable to PLT modems (Access and Inhouse), in which the coexistence mechanisms are at least partly implemented. Since a monitorab
8、le reference device is not yet available, it is required that the PLT modems used for the tests have built-in monitoring abilities. Results of the verification of the proposed mechanism may be used to improve coexistence between PLT systems. 2 References References are either specific (identified by

16、RF Radio Frequency TCP Transmission Control Protocol UDP User Datagram Protocol 4 General Test Conditions, Traffic Generation and Traffic Monitoring Usually the PLT modems build a bridge between the powerline as transport media and a standard communication line (e.g. ethernet). For the tests, in whi
17、ch traffic is to be generated and to be monitored, the use of the public domain tool IPERF (http:/ will be used. The participant should bring with him the required computer with appropriate interfaces for his modem. In case of UDP traffic the following settings apply: stream type packet size data ra
18、te UDP 1 500 byte (MTU) 10 % to 100 % of maximum for PLT system as determined in pretests in steps of 10 % Since TCP uses congestion mechanisms, which may limit the traffic due to packet losses, some tests will be performed using TCP instead of UDP. This may be more realistic for quality perceived b
19、y the user. Since a monitorable reference device is not yet available, it is required that the PLT modems used for the tests have built-in monitoring abilities for the coexistence mechanism. This monitoring should include: Master or Slave synchronised with CDCF frames which resources do a modem try

For each given selected tests, t
22、he part of it that can not be performed will be noted and the rest will be performed. Many of the coexistence tests require two PLT systems of different vendors or types. These tests can only be performed in agreement with all participants concerned. 4.1 Coupling and Decoupling of the PLC-Signal The
23、 central element of the modular artificial test environment is a coupling/decoupling box (CDB) as shown in figure 4.1. It consists of a decoupling filter (60 dB for both symmetric and asymmetric signals) between power plug and mains connector and a coupling network (two capacitors, transformer and s
24、everal resistors). The resistors are designed for a 50 termination seen from each BNC connector. An RF-impedance of 100 can be measured into the power plug. The attenuation between the coaxial inputs and power plug depends on the dimensioning of the resistors and the RF-transformer. For all tests th
25、e resistors will be chosen to have an attenuation of about 16 dB between coaxial input and power plug, whereas the attenuation between two coaxial inputs is about 11 dB (see figure 4.2). mainsfiltermainsmains toother boxesconnector for unterminated line or passive filter (simulation of resonances, B

27、and attenuators complex network structures can be realised. Unused BNC connectors (intended for connections to other boxes) shall be terminated with 50 . 4.2 Shielding of the Test Set-up Shielding the entire test set-up is mandatory for reproducibility. For small set-ups simple metal cases can be us
28、ed. For larger set-ups the occupied space is more and more a problem. For the proposed set-up a locker with the corresponding number of sockets is the best solution. This needs some work for RF-improvement as well as some modifications like holes for cabling. Because of the flexible cabling concept
29、any scenario can be tested as long as the maximum number of needed compartments is not exceeded. The dimension of the boxes provided by ETSI is 457 mm 457 mm 460 mm (outer dimensions). If the modem does not fit into this box the participant is invited to bring four suitable shielding cases / methods
30、. Alternatively the tests will be performed without shielding. If the parasitic coupling between the modems is too large, the interpretation of the test results may be difficult. 5 Tests with one PLT system In the following tests the PLT modem/system means: a) a single PLT modem; or b) a pair of PLT
31、 modems combined in a multiple socket. depending on the properties of the PLT system. 5.1 CDCF Timing - Comparison with Simulation Model Necessary PLT equipment PLT-modem / system with ability to initiate transmission of CDCF and to define slot usage.
