SHDSL In the Railway Environment

SHDSL

2

History Lesson Analogue Leased lines

• Dedicated lines between sites

• Lines are costly to maintain (BT will drop this service eventually)

• Bandwidth 33600 bps maximum, usually 9600bps

• Typically Master Slave relationship

SHDSL

Effective data rate;1200/ number of outstation less pre / post amble time and inter- message gaps approx 50%e.g. 1200 / 10 =120 bps per unit 120bps less 50% = 60 Bits/s!

The Requirements

Open Standard Technology (COTS)Rail Network Capacity

Industrial robustness & reliability High isolation and EMC requirements

SHDSL A Way Forward

SHDSL

SHDSL stands for Symmetric High-Bitrate Digital Subscriber Loop

G.SHDSL was standardised in 2001

Conforms ITU G.991.2

Bi-directional data rates of 192kbit/s to 15.3Mbit/s over a single twisted pair

Upcoming ”Pair bonding” can be used to increase this data rate and provide link resilience

What is SHDLS?

Internationel Standards

Why standard?

Get away from proprietary solutions Increasing Interoperability  Joint development towards the same goal World-Wide COT’s equipment supply

Focus on "spectral compatibility"

Many different technologies have to coexist The introduction of new technology should not affect (s) the old New technologies must be designed to minimize the impact

on future technologies

SHDSL performance in the rail environment

Performance

Advanced modulation techniques “Spectral shaping” FEC (Forward Error Correction) provides robust transmission Error Rate 1000 times better than older Analogue modem, Unicode modulation

schemes Error rates of 10^-7

Negotiation G.994.1 (G.hs) -> Data Mode

Purpose:The units will arrive at the best possible link based on current cable-to-noise levels and the configured settings.
