During the current period of transition, global telecom carriers need to: 1. Enhance service competitiveness and provide more services. 2. Increase ARPU (Average Revenue Per User) value and reduce the maintenance cost by binding multiple services. 3. Improve customers satisfaction on the network and reduce the customer churn rate. To make a success in the transition, increasing the bandwidth is the prerequisite.

Light Propagation in Optical Fiber

Propagation of light in an optical fiber requires that the light be totally confined within the fiber. The above object can be obtained in two different ways Total Internal Reflection

Continuous Refraction

38

PTCL Training & Development

Total Internal Reflection

Most widely used method for the propagation of light through optical fiber is the total internal reflection. The amount and direction of deflection is determined by the amount of difference in refractive indices as well as the angle at which the rays strike the boundary.

39

PTCL Training & Development

Total Internal Reflection

For incidence angles equal to or greater than the critical angle, the glass air boundary will act as a mirror and no light escape from the glass. Example:

PTCL Training & Development

2.

MULTI-MODE

MULTI-MODE

Multi-mode fibre was the first type of fibre to be commercialized and is commonly used for data communications. In multi-mode fibre many rays, or modes, of light propagate down the core simultaneously. Multi-mode fibre typically is used in private premises networks, where signals are transmitted less than two kilometers.

Optical Fiber and LASER Light Safety

Safety issues relevant to operation and maintenance staff involved in optical fiber systems fall into one of three categories: - Laser light Sources - Handling of bare optical fiber ends - Hazardous Chemicals

108

PTCL Training & Development

LASER LIGHT SOURCES

This includes both optical line transmission equipment and Optical test equipment. A laser can cause damage to human tissue either on the surface of the skin or in and around the eyes. - The Eyes - Laser Safety Requirements - Laser safety Procedures - Some General Rules on Laser Safety

109

The Eyes
The eyes, being a very sensitive part of the human body, can Be very susceptible to the hazards of laser light.

Laser Safety Requirements

Only staff who have attended an optical fiber training course And had their eyes tested may install, test and optical fiber cables.

Laser Safety Procedure

-Ensure that the power is turned off at both ends of the section while the optical fiber cable is being worked on. -Under no circumstances should an optical fiber or connector

115

PTCL Training & Development

Some General Rules on Laser Safety

Never look into the beam of a transmitting laser, either via the output port of equipment or the end of a connected fiber Initially assume that all fiber and equipment is active in transmitting light. Optical connectors should always be held at least 300mm from the eye, etc.
116
PTCL Training & Development

HANDLING OF THE BARE FIBERS

Bare fibers should be treated with more care than handling a piece of broken glass in the home If optical fiber glass accidentally penetrates the skin, it probably remain there and eventually infect the area around it However in extreme cases it could potentially end up in the blood stream, which would be extremely dangerous.
117
PTCL Training & Development

HANDLING OF THE BARE FIBERS

Always dispose of broken fibers or fiber. Off cuts in receptacle designated for this purpose i.e. fiber bin. Do not throw bare fiber in a waste disposal bin or on the floor. Always wash hands thoroughly after handling optical fiber, especially when eating food. Never touch the end of a bare fiber

. FTTC & FTTCab scenario MDU : Multi-dwelling unit ;providing a comparatively larger number of ports, including 10/100/1000BASE-T, VDSL2, and so on.

FTTc ~ Fiber to the Curb , is the deployment of fiber close to the customer but not fully to the customers residence. In this deployment the existing copper plant is still used to deliver service to the actual customer. FTTN (Fiber to the Neighborhood) & FTTC (Fiber to the Cabinet) generally fall under the FTTC category. Both services are in deployment and in use, a perfect example is a DLC/NGDLC (Digital Loop Carrier) which some of us get our phone service from. A direct fiber from the CO (Central Office) is terminated at the DLC/NGDLC and then service is delivered to the customers residence via the copper plant.

170

PTCL Training & Development

COMPONENTS
A PON consists of an Optical Line Terminal (OLT) at the service provider's central office and a number of Optical Network Units (ONUs) near end users. A PON configuration reduces the amount of fiber and central office equipment required compared with point to point architectures.

171

PTCL Training & Development

OLT
The OLT provides the interface between the PON and the service providers network services. These typically include: Internet Protocol (IP) traffic over Gigabit, 10G, or 100 Mbit/s Ethernet Standard time division multiplexed (TDM) interfaces such as SONET or SDH ATM UNI at 155-622 Mbit/s

172

PTCL Training & Development

OLT ~ Optical Line Terminal

OLT is the networks control card. This card resides in the local CO (Central Office) cross connected to the video and data networks that will be delivered to your home, it consists of a special DFB (Distributed Feedback) calibrated laser that is always on. This control card acts as a traffic signal to the remote ONT's for complete data / video throughput upstream and downstream.
173

PTCL Training & Development

ONU
ONT is an ITU-T term, whereas ONU is an IEEE term. In Multiple Tenant Units, the ONT may be bridged to a customer premise device within the individual dwelling unit using legacy technologies such as Ethernet over twisted pair, Ethernet over Coax, or DSL.

An ONT is a device that terminates the PON and presents customer service interfaces to the user.
Some ONUs implement a separate subscriber unit to provide services such as telephony, Ethernet data, or video.
174
PTCL Training & Development

ONU ~ Optical Network Unit

ONU ~ Optical Network Unit , this is similar to the SFU-ONT but for a MDU / MTU, or small business. It contains 12 - 24 POTS Lines, multiple "Ethernet" or "VDSL" connections, and one / two high-powered RG video outputs. These ONT's come in two forms, a wall mountable or rack-mountable unit, they are typically installed in a stairwell area, or basement next to the existing SAI for that floor
175
PTCL Training & Development

ONT
The ONT terminates the PON and presents the native service interfaces to the user. These services can include voice plain old telephone service (POTS) or voice over IP (VoIP)), data (typically Ethernet), video.

Functions of ONT

178

PTCL Training & Development

Functions of ONT
Often, the ONT functions are separated into two parts:
The ONU, which terminates the PON and presents a converged interface such as xDSL, coax, or multiservice Ethernet toward the user. Network termination equipment (NTE), which provides the separate, native service interfaces directly to the user.

Note: This is the CPE (Customer Premise Equipment) endpoint of the ODN. The ONT is an Optical to Electrical to Optical device , that delivers your triple play services. It will replace your existing copper NID (Network Interface Device) , and coax connections. The existing POTS / Coax inside wiring will be cross connected to the ONT. Since we understand that a PON is completely passive the endpoint must contain an AC voltage connection to perform the Optical to Electrical conversions for your services.

A beam splitter is an optical device that splits a beam of light in two.

Schematic representation of a beam splitter cube

184
PTCL Training & Development

BEAM SPLITTER - Design 1

In its most common form, a cube, it is made from two triangular glass prisms which are glued together at their base using Canada balsam. The thickness of the resin layer is adjusted such that (for a certain wavelength) half of the light incident through one "port" (i.e. face of the cube) is reflected and the other half is transmitted.

185

PTCL Training & Development

BEAM SPLITTER - Design 2

Another design is the use of a half-silvered mirror. This is a plate of glass with a thin coating of aluminum (usually deposited from aluminum vapor) with the thickness of the aluminum coating such that, of light incident at a 45 degree angle, one half is transmitted and one half is reflected. Instead of a metallic coating, a dielectric optical coating may be used. Such mirrors are commonly used as output couplers in laser construction. Similarly, a very thin pellicle film may also be used as a beam splitter.

186

PTCL Training & Development

BEAM SPLITTER - Design 3

A third version of the beam splitter is a dichroic mirrored prism assembly which uses dichroic optical coatings to split the incoming light into three beams, one each of red, green, and blue. Such a device was used in multi-tube color television cameras and also in the three-film Technicolor movie cameras. It is also used in the 3 LCD projectors to separate colors and in ellipsoidal reflector spotlights to eliminate heat radiation.

PON Splitter Cabinet Sizing

Sizes available: 32 Fiber (1 Splitter) to 864 Fiber (Home Run and Centralized Local Distribution Cabinet) Sizing will be dependent on rural or urban applications. Specific cabinet sizing is trade off between size of the distribution area and number of cabinets. Rural areas: Serving areas tend to get too large well before the ideal cabinet size is reached. Urban areas: Due to the density, the number of fibers can exceed the available cabinet sizes before the serving areas become unmanageable.

Outdoor Fiber Distribution Hub (FDH).

The outdoor (FDH) provides for connections between fiber optic cables and passive optical splitters in the OSP environment. The outdoor (FDH) utilize standard SC/APC to interconnect feeder and distribution cables via 1:32 optical splitters and connectors.

197

PTCL Training & Development

Indoor Fiber Distribution Hub (FDH)

The indoor FDH is designed to organize and administer fiber optic cables and passive optical splitters in an indoor environment typically suitable for high rise buildings and is placed in the telecom room. These FDH are used to interconnect main cable (Feeder) and drop cable (2F) via optical splitters in a FTTH network application. No splices are allowed between the Telecom Room and Flats. Where the building has less than 32 customers, a wall mounted splitter FDH (indoor type) is more suitable. The unit will serves as a Mini ODF with splitter assembly and facility to terminate drop cables.

198

PTCL Training & Development

Distribution Cables & Drop Cables

From Outdoor FDH Cabinet location, distribution cable (loose tube) sizes 24F, 16F and 8F combinations may be considered, depending upon the grouping of villas/homes, number and locations. The drop closures to be installed inside joint boxes, close to group of villas/homes or as per site requirements. These have single entry on one side and 24+ outlets for drop cables. The drop cables are 2F construction, it is recommended that both the 2F are spliced through in the drop closure, so that the fibers are through to the splitter location. In the FDH Cabinet, only one fiber of 2F drop cable is required to be terminated. In the case of single villas, company shall extend and terminate the drop cable in the micro ODF (Low Homes Areas).

199

PTCL Training & Development

DROP CABLE
DROP CABLE ~ This cable is the final connection to the customers ONT. This cable can be spliced from an aerial / underground FDT. Most providers have moved to a pre-terminated drop cable system, this saves cost and installation time. Drop Cable ~ This cable will enter the customers apartment from the FDT that's usually located in a closet, or stairwell in a high-rise building. In a small garden-style MDU deployment your drop cable may come from an FDT located on the outside of your building, and routed through the roof breezeway into your apartments designated closet.

214

PTCL Training & Development

Upstream Bandwidth Allocation

The OLT is responsible for allocating upstream bandwidth to the ONTs. Because the optical distribution network (ODN) is shared, ONT upstream transmissions could collide if they were transmitted at random times. ONTs can lie at varying distances from the OLT, meaning that the transmission delay from each ONT is unique. The OLT measures delay and sets a register in each ONT via PLOAM (physical layer operations and maintenance) messages to equalize its delay with respect to all of the other ONTs on the PON.
215
PTCL Training & Development

Upstream Bandwidth Allocation

Once the delay of all ONTs has been set, the OLT transmits so-called grants to the individual ONTs. A grant is permission to use a defined interval of time for upstream transmission. The grant map is dynamically re-calculated every few milliseconds. The map allocates bandwidth to all ONTs, such that each ONT receives timely bandwidth for its service needs.

Decryption

OLT applies Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) 128 encryption. GPON supports encrypted transmission in downstream direction, such as AES128 encryption. In the case of GEM fragments, only the payload will be encrypted. GPON system initiates AES key exchange and switch-over periodically, improving the reliability

of the line.

Port T-CONT Port Port T-CONT Port Port

GEM Port: the minimum unit for carrying services. T-CONT: Transmission Containers is a kind of buffer that carries services. It is mainly used to transmit upstream data units. T-CONT is introduced to realize the dynamic bandwidth assignment of the upstream bandwidth, so as to enhance the utilization of the line. IF pon: GPON interface. Based on the mapping scheme, service traffic is carried to different GEM ports and then to different T-CONTs. The mapping between the GEM port and the T-CONT is flexible. A GEM port can correspond to a T-CONT; or multiple GEM Ports can correspond to the same TCONT. A GPON interface of an ONU contains one or multiple T-CONTs.

TDM data

Payload TDM fragment

TDM frames are buffered and queued as they arrive, then TDM data is multiplexed

in to fixed-length GEM frames for transmission.

This scheme does not vary TDM services but transmit TDM services transparently. Featuring fixed length, GEM frames benefits the transmission of TDM services .

Ranging
OLT obtains the Round Trip Delay (RTD) through ranging process, then specifies suitable Equalization Delay (EqD) so as to avoid occurrence of collision on optical splitters. To acquire the serial number and ranging, OLT needs open a window, that is, Quiet Zone, and pauses upstream transmitting channels on other ONUs.

DBA
What is DBA? DBA, Dynamic Bandwidth Assignment Why DBA? It enhances the uplink bandwidth utilization of PON ports. More users can be added on a PON port. Users can enjoy higher-bandwidth services, especially those requiring comparatively greater change in terms of the bandwidth.

Based on the bandwidth allocation information, ONU sends the status report of data currently waiting in T-CONTs in the specified time slots. OLT receives the status report from the ONU, updates BW Map through DBA algorithm and then delivers the new BW Map in the next frame. ONU receives the BW Map from the OLT and sends data in the specified time slots.

NSR-DBA Operation
NSR-DBA NSR is an algorithm scheme that realizes DBA. It helps to predict the bandwidth allocated to each ONU based on the traffic from ONUs. Procedure: Step1: Monitor the number of data packets received by OLT within the specified interval. Step2: Use the result of real time monitoring in step 1 to calculate the utilization rate. Step3: Recognize the congestion status by comparing the utilization rate with the specified limits.

233

PTCL Training & Development

DBA Working Principle

Based on service priorities, the system sets SLA for each ONU, restricting service bandwidth. The maximum bandwidth and the minimum bandwidth pose limits to the bandwidth of each ONU, ensuring various bandwidth for services of different priorities. In general, voice service enjoys the highest, then video service and data service the lowest in terms of service priority. OLT grants bandwidth based on services, SLA and the actual condition of the ONU. Services of higher priority enjoy higher bandwidth. PTCL Training & Development

234

T-CONT Bandwidth Terms

Transmission Containers (T-CONTs): it dynamically receives grants delivered by OLT. T-CONTs are used for the management of upstream bandwidth allocation in the PON section of the Transmission Convergence layer. T-CONTs are primarily used to improve the upstream bandwidth use on the PON. T-CONT BW type falls into FB, AB, NAB, and BE. Five T-CONT types: Type1, Type2, Type3, Type4, and Type5.

235

PTCL Training & Development

T-CONT Type and Bandwidth Type

Type1 T-CONT is of the fixed bandwidth type and mainly used for services sensitive to delay and services of higher priorities, such as voice services. Type2 and type3 T-CONT is of the guaranteed bandwidth type and mainly used for video services and data services of higher priorities. Type4 is of the best-effort type and mainly used for data services (such as Internet and email), and services of lower priorities. These services do not require high bandwidth. Type5 is of the mixed T-CONT type, involving all bandwidth types and bearing all services.

FTTH Planning-Outgoing FO Cable from CO.

The OSP fiber counts from the Central Office should be of suitable size, to ensure meeting the future capacity requirements. The number of fibers in the OSP cable would more likely end up being closer to 1 Fiber per 16 tenants. Requirements of direct fibers for business establishment should also to be considered, while sizing the main cables. Where the diversity is required for an important office, Airport, Police, Hospital etc the fiber can be routed in two different routes. Fibers already laid for local network & CATV Network can be considered while developing the GPON Network.

The Number of Splitters per (FDH) Cabinet & Sizing of (Feeder) Cable.
Every splitter requires a single fiber from OLT. The total number of splitter requirement per cabinet shall be based on 5th year tenants forecasted. 25% spare fibers should be considered in the FO cable size, for future requirements, maintenance, etc. Number of Splitter per Cabinet=No of Tenants / Split Ratio (1:32). The provision of the number of fibers may equal to at least 20 year tenants forecasted. Feeder cable to be loose tube 8F/16F/24F.

Minimum loss Maximum loss

NOTE The requirements of a particular class may be more stringent for one system type than for another, e.g. the class C attenuation range is inherently more stringent for TCM systems due to the use of a 1:2 splitter/combiner at each side of the ODN, each having a loss of about 3 dB.
