Interfacing EIE325: Telecommunication Technologies
Characteristics of Interface • Mechanical • Connection plugs • Electrical • Voltage, timing, encoding • Functional • Data, control, timing, grounding • Procedural • Sequence of events EIE325: Telecommunication Technologies

Functional Specification • Various functional tasks of interchange circuits • data (4) • control (16) • transmission (13) • loopback testing (3) • timing (3) • ground EIE325: Telecommunication Technologies
Loopback testing • Provide testing of DCE • Fault isolation • Common on modern modems • Output connected to input – isolated from the transmission line • Remote or Local loopback EIE325: Telecommunication Technologies

Procedural Specification • Defines the sequence of operation, correct request/response sequences and requirements to send and receive data EIE325: Telecommunication Technologies
Asynchronous private line modem Connecting two DTE over a short distance Only six circuits required AB: Ground (102) BA: Transmit (103) BB: Receive (104) CA: Request to Send (105) CB: Clear to Send (106) CC: DCE ready (107) CF: Received line signal detector (109) A Modem EIE325: Telecommunication Technologies
A Modem • When turned on and ready, modem (DCE) asserts DCE ready (CC) • When DTE ready to send data, it asserts Request to Send (CA) • Also inhibits receive mode in half duplex • Modem responds when ready by asserting Clear to send (CB) • DTE sends data (BA) • When data arrives (BB), local modem asserts Receive Line Signal Detector (CF) and delivers data EIE325: Telecommunication Technologies
Public line modem • Previous example is insufficient for modem operating on public network • Also need • CD: DTE ready (108.2) • CE: Ring Indicator (125) EIE325: Telecommunication Technologies

Telecommunication Technologies Week 10 Multiplexing
Multiplexing EIE325: Telecommunication Technologies
Multiplexing • Frequency Division Multiplexing • Wavelength Division Multiplexing • Time Division Multiplexing • Synchronous TDM • Statistical TDM • Code Division Multiplexing EIE325: Telecommunication Technologies
Frequency Division Multiplexing EIE325: Telecommunication Technologies
Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM) • Useful bandwidth of medium exceeds required bandwidth of channel • Each signal is modulated to a different carrier frequency • Carrier frequencies separated so signals do not overlap (guard bands) • NB: Channel allocated even if no data • e.g. broadcast radio EIE325: Telecommunication Technologies
Example: Analog Carrier Systems • AT&T (USA) • Hierarchy of FDM schemes • Group • 12 voice channels (4kHz each) = 48kHz • Range 60kHz to 108kHz • Supergroup • 60 channel • FDM of 5 group signals on carriers between 420kHz and 612 kHz • Mastergroup • 10 supergroups EIE325: Telecommunication Technologies
Asymmetrical Digital Subscriber Line • ADSL • Link between subscriber and network • Local loop • Uses currently installed twisted pair cable • Can carry broader spectrum • 1 MHz or more EIE325: Telecommunication Technologies
ADSL Design • Asymmetric • Greater capacity downstream than upstream • Frequency division multiplexing • Lowest 25kHz for voice • Plain old telephone service (POTS) • Use echo cancellation or FDM to give two bands • Use FDM within bands • Range 5.5km EIE325: Telecommunication Technologies
ADSL Channel Configuration EIE325: Telecommunication Technologies
xDSL • High data rate DSL (HDSL) • 2Mbps over two twisted pair lines • BW of less than 200kHz • Single line DSL (SDSL) • Single twisted pair • Echo cancellation • Very high data rate DSL (VDSL) • New: increase data rate at the expense of distance EIE325: Telecommunication Technologies
Time Division Multiplexing EIE325: Telecommunication Technologies
TDM: Transmitter EIE325: Telecommunication Technologies
TDM: Transmission EIE325: Telecommunication Technologies
TDM: Receiver EIE325: Telecommunication Technologies
Synchronous Time Division Multiplexing • Data rate of medium exceeds data rate of digital signal to be transmitted • Multiple digital signals interleaved in time • May be at bit level of blocks • Time slots preassigned to sources and fixed • Time slots allocated even if no data • Time slots do not have to be evenly distributed amongst sources EIE325: Telecommunication Technologies
Statistical TDM • In Synchronous TDM many slots are wasted • Statistical TDM allocates time slots dynamically based on demand • Multiplexer scans input lines and collects data until frame full • Data rate on line lower than aggregate rates of input lines EIE325: Telecommunication Technologies
Expected Link Usage (kbps) 9am – 5pm 5pm – 1am 1am – 9am HK trading line 12 1 3 London trading line 5 19 3 New York trading line 1 4 21 An international brokerage firm has its head office in Hong Kong, and a smaller branch office in Singapore. The firm's interests lie in trading on the futures markets of Hong Kong, London, and New York; and data related to these trades should be communicated over a private leased line between Hong Kong and Singapore. The company finds that a single leased line between Hong Kong and Singapore is insufficient for its needs. Instead, the Hong Kong, London and New York trading arms each maintain a separate link and these three lines are multiplexed together for transmission between Hong Kong and Singapore. Each of these three lines is utilised 24 hours per day, but varies according to the following table: Compute the capacity required on the multiplexed line using: (i) synchronous time division multiplexing. (ii) statistical time division multiplexing if 5% of capacity is required for framing overhead.
Synchronous vs. Statistical TDM EIE325: Telecommunication Technologies
TDM Link Control • No headers and tails • Data link control protocols not needed • Flow control • Data rate of multiplexed line is fixed • If one channel receiver cannot receive data, the others must carry on • The corresponding source must be quenched • This leaves empty slots • Error control • Errors are detected and handled by individual channel systems EIE325: Telecommunication Technologies
Data Link Control on TDM Inputs: Transmission:
Framing • No flag or SYNC characters bracketing TDM frames • Must provide synchronising mechanism • Added digit framing • One control bit added to each TDM frame • Looks like another channel - “control channel” • Identifiable bit pattern used on control channel • e.g. alternating 01010101…unlikely on a data channel • Can compare incoming bit patterns on each channel with sync pattern EIE325: Telecommunication Technologies
Pulse Stuffing • Problem - Synchronising data sources • Clocks in different sources drifting • Data rates from different sources not related by simple rational number • Solution - Pulse Stuffing • Outgoing data rate (excluding framing bits) higher than sum of incoming rates • Stuff extra dummy bits or pulses into each incoming signal until it matches local clock • Stuffed pulses inserted at fixed locations in frame and removed at demultiplexer EIE325: Telecommunication Technologies
