19、 NOTE 1 - If a real digital section is shorter, there will be no reduction of error performance allocation. If a real digital section is longer, the two different methods of performance allocation should be applied according to the section quality. In the case of systems in classes 2, 3, or 4, their

20、 overall allocation should correspond to that of an integer number of HRDS (of the same quality classification) the combined length of which is at least as long as the real section length. In the case of systems in class 1, performance objectives should be derived from a pro-rata approach in accorda

21、nce with Recommendation ITU-R F.634. NOTE 2 - The concept of unavailability of a digital radio-relay system is defined in recommends 3 of Recommenda- tion ITU-R F.557. NOTE 3 - Short-term interference is the interference due to the existence of anomalous propagation conditions, and typically consist

22、s of very high levels of interference which only occur rarely, and exist for short periods of time. Long-term interference is the interference which arises from sources within line-of-sight of the victim receiver, and is typically low in level and constant in value. NOTE 4 - In the design of the sys

23、tems, the degradation of performance due to the sharing of the spectrum with satellite systems and other services, needs to be taken into account where appropriate, and is under study. NOTE 5 - In considering specific values for the error performance objectives of the medium grade portion at each en

Where measurements are used to ensure compliance with this Recommendation, then propagation conditions also need to be assessed and related to propagation data representative of “any month” conditions.

ITU-R F.696-2 37 NOTE 7 - In the case of the SES an allowance for adverse propagation may be added to the given objectives for HRDS classes 3 and 4. Since the full length of the medium grade portion always belongs

27、 to a national network, the apportionment of the 0.025% allowance to the individual network parts based on the national reference network model should be a matter for the administration concerned. However, it has to be ensured that this overall objective for the medium grade portion is not exceeded.

28、 NOTE 8 - The SESR and ESR objectives includes all performance degradations other than unavailability. NOTE 9 - Prior to the approval of Recommendation ITU-R F.1189 (1999, real digital radio-relay links forming part of the medium grade portion within an ISDN were designed by applying the error perfo

As a consequence, translation rules were suggested to normalize error performance measurement results obtained at the system bit rate to the 64 kb

31、DSs Considering that the average length of the medium-grade portion in many countries may be much less than 1 250 km and/or that its composition varies from country to country to a great extent, it may be difficult to define a single hypothetical reference digital path (HRDP) for medium-grade system

32、s. However, it can be assumed that the whole medium-grade portion is composed of several HRDSs with different quality classifications. ITU-T Recommendation G.801 states that the introduction of such HRDS is necessary to accommodate the performance specification of transmission systems (for instance:

33、 digital line and radio equipment). The HRDS lengths have been chosen to be representative of digital sections likely to be encountered in real operational networks, and are sufficiently long to permit a realistic performance specification for digital radio systems. The model is homogeneous in that

34、it does not include other digital equipments such as multiplexers/demultiplexers. FIGURE 1 Hypothetical reference digital section o X (kbitk) X (kbits) -+.

36、lability objectives The ITU-T has not specified availability objectives for the systems used in the medium-grade portion. In the medium-grade portion, systems may operate in frequency bands above 10 GHz which are sensitive to rainfall. Therefore, availability objectives become highly important facto

37、rs in the system design. An unavailability objective for the class 1 HRDS may be directly derived from Recommendations ITU-R F.556 and ITU-R F.557, since this HRDS corresponds to the high-grade classification. Linear subdivision of the Recommenda- tion IT-R F.557 objective, down to a length of 280 k

38、m, gives an objective of 0.033% for the class 1 HRDS (280 km). According to Recommendation ITU-R F.557, these objectives would refer to both directions of transmission and to an observation period of probably greater than one year. For the medium-grade portion of the HRX an overall bidirectional unavailability objective between 0.2% and 0.5% is proposed, based on the theoretical calculations and the measurements carried out by administrations.
