DATA COMMUNICATION &DIGITAL SUBSCRIBER LINE
TECHNOLOGY
Principles o D!"! Co##$nic!"ions:
The first data communications system was the telegraph. It was invented more than
100 years ago. The letters to be transmitted were converted into a code called Morse code. The
codes were transmitted as pulses along a wire or as radio-frequency bursts in the case of wireless
telegraph. Then the development of data communications slowed but during the last few decades
data communications have e!panded rapidly as computers have become tools for everyone in
both business and residential environments.
Co#p$"er Co##$nic!"ions%
Modern computers manipulate bits binary symbols of electrical energy. "hen a
computer communicates with another computer it sends these bits along a cable between them.
This is relatively easy if the computers are within the same room or a building. If the distance is
longer a telecommunications networ# is required that provides an end-to-end communications
channel. $ata communications can be accomplished by means of many various alternatives
some of which we discuss in the following sections
Seri!l !n' P!r!llel D!"! Co##$nic!"ions%
In a transmission networ# only one channel is usually allocated for one end to-end
connection in each direction. %et us use as an e!ample source of data a simple &merican
'tandard (ode for Information Interchange )&'(II* terminal. "e press #eys on the #eyboard
and each #eystro#e generates a +-bit binary word ), bits with parity* corresponding to the
letter or number of the #ey pressed. or e!ample character a corresponds to the binarysequence 1000011 )the first bit on the left* .
"hen serial transmission is used between a computer and its peripheral device a
parallel cloc# signal may be used for timing. In serial transmission over longer distances we want
to manage with one channel and we have to use a line code to insert timing information into the

data stream. This synchroniation information enables the receiver to determine when it has to
detect each individual received bit. /ow we implement this depends on whether we use an
asynchronous or synchronous transmission mode.
arallel data transmission is much quic#er than serial but we can typically use it only over short
distances. The ma!imum is usually of the order of 10m.
(ommunicating terminal devices in data communications are called data
terminal equipment )$T* and the equipment that terminates the transmission channel that
goes through the networ# is called data circuit terminating equipment )$(*. & modem
that we use for data transmission over a telephone networ# is a typical e!ample of $(. Many
different interface specifications e!ist for $T and $( and the most common standards are
defined by the IT2-T and the lectronic Industries &ssociation )I&*.

3ver longer distances we use serial transmission either in an asynchronous or
synchronous transmission mode. 'erial transmission over long distance requires that the timing
information for the receiver be transmitted together with the data so that a separate cloc# signal
is not required.
In asynchronous transmission only a small number of bits are transmitted at a time
usually , bits that correspond to one &'(II character. In the beginning of each bloc# of , bits of
data a start bit is sent to indicate to the receiver that it should prepare to receive , bits of data .
or synchroniation the receiver has to #now the data rate which has to be set in advance so that
when it detects the start bit it is able to receive the few following bits. &fter these bits a stop bit is
sent that terminates the ,-bit data bloc#. The ne!t bloc# of data is synchronied independently
with the help of a new start bit preceding the data bits.
In asynchronous transmission a simple error-detecting scheme called parity can be
used. "e may use even or odd parity error chec#ing. If even parity is used the total number of
415 bits in the bloc# including data bits and the parity bit is set to be even with the help of the
TELE COMMUNICATION NETWORKS by Mr.G. SUBBA RAO,A.S.T.UPage 3
8/17/2019 Chapter v Final
4/16
parity bit. In the case of odd parity the parity bit is set to 415 or 405 so that the total number of
415bits in the bloc# is odd. To detect possible transmission errors the receiver determines
whether the received number of 415 bits is even or odd depending on the parity agreed.
'ynchronous transmission is a more modern principle for transmitting a large
amount of information in a frame )see igure*. ach frame starts with a special start-of-frame bit
sequence and the frame may contain more than 1000 bytes of information. ach frame also
contains error control words and an end-of-frame sequence. The receiver uses the error control
section of the frame to detect if errors have occurred in transmission. The most common
detection method for error detection is a cyclic redundancy chec# )(6(*. It is much more
reliable than the parity chec# method discussed previously. In the case of errors the transmitter
retransmits the frame in error. In the most common protocols the receiver sends an
ac#nowledgment to the transmitter in the other transmission direction for received error-free
frame or frames. If errors have occurred the frame is not ac#nowledged in a predefined period of
time and the transmitter sends it again.
In asynchronous transmission the start bit provided the required timing information
for each byte of data. 2nique start-of-frame and end of frame sequences or flags are used to
provide frame synchroniation. These flags should be unique and actual data must
not include similar data sequences. 3ne common method used to avoid frame misalignment
is to use bit stuffing or ero insertion as shown in igure. (onsider a flag )01111110* used
in the popular high-level data lin# control )/$%(* protocol. &fter the start-of-frame flag the
sequence of si! subsequent 17s is not allowed in the data section of the frame. To avoid that a
0 is inserted in the end of each sequence of five subsequent 17s. In the receiver each 0 following
five subsequent 17s is discarded. If binary 1 follows five subsequent 17s the frame is declared to
be finished )end-of-frame flag*.

The best-#nown e!ample of a circuit-switching networ# is the public telephone networ#.
S$,scri,ers: The devices that attach to the networ#. It is still the case that most subscriber
devices to public telecommunications networ#s are telephones but the percentage of data
traffic increases year by year.
Loc!l loop: The lin# between the subscriber and the networ# also referred to as the subscriber
loop. &lmost all local loop connections used twisted-pair wire. The length of a local loop is
typically in a range from a few #ilometers to a few tens of #ilometers.
Ec)!n.es: The switching centers in the networ#. & switching center that directly supports
subscribers is #nown as an end office. Typically an end office will support many thousands of
subscribers in a localied area. There are over 18000end offices in the 2nited 'tates so it is
clearly impractical for each end office to have a direct lin# to each of the other end offices.
Tr$n/s: The branches between e!changes. Trun#s carry multiple voice frequency circuits
using either $M or synchronous T$M. arlier these were referred to as carrier systems.
'ubscribers connect directly to an end office which switches traffic between
subscribers and between a subscriber and other e!changes. The other e!changes are responsible
for routing and switching traffic between end offices9 this distinction is shown in igure. To
connect two subscribers attached to the same end office a circuit is set up between them in the

same fashion as described before. If two subscribers connect to different end offices a circuit
between them consists of a chain of circuits through one or more intermediate offices. In the
figure a connection is established between lines a and b by simply setting up the connection
through the end office. The connection between c and d is more comple!. In cs end office a
connection is established between line c and one channel on a T$M trun# to the intermediate
switch. In the intermediate switch that channel is connected to a channel on a T$M trun# to ds
end office. In that end office the channel is connected to line d.

(ircuit-switching technology has been driven by those applications that handle voice traffic.
3ne of the #ey requirements for voice traffic is that there must be virtually no transmission delay
and certainly no variation in delay. & constant signal transmission rate must be maintained as
transmission and reception occur at the same signal rate. These requirements are necessary to
allow normal human conversation. urther the quality of the received signal must be sufficiently
high to provide at a minimum intelligibility.

PAC+ET S*ITCHING%
ac#et-switched networ#s are specially designed for data communication. The source data are
split into pac#ets containing route or destination identifications. The pac#ets are routed toward
the destination by pac#et-switching nodes on the path through the networ#. There are two basictypes of pac#et-switched networ#s as illustrated in igure
;irtual circuits
$atagram transmission.
In the case of virtual circuits the virtual connection is established at the beginning of each
conversation or it is permanently set up and every pac#et belonging to a certain connection is
transmitted via the same established route. The main difference between circuit-switched
physical circuits and virtual circuits is that many users share the capacity of the transmission
lines and channels between networ# nodes if virtual instead of physical circuits are used. &t a
certain moment active users may use all the available capacity if other users are not transmitting
anything. The complete address information is not needed in the pac#ets when the connection is
established. 3nly a short connection identifier is included in each pac#et to define the virtual
circuit to which the pac#et belongs.
¬her method for pac#et-switched data communications is connectionless datagram
transmission in which routing devices perform routing procedures and each pac#et contains a
full destination address.

& family of technologies #nown as $'% or digital subscriber line has been
developed to increase the data transmission rate over ordinary local loops to the order of a few
megabits per second and it is simultaneously available for ordinary telephone service. This is far
beyond the capacity of I'$> subscriber lines. The I'$> data channels are e!pensive dial-up
circuits that are switched by I'$> e!changes and each connection minute increases the
subscriber7s telephone bill. In the case of $'% data and speech are separated at the local
e!change site. Then the data portion is connected to the data networ# for Internet access.
(ustomers pay a fi!ed monthly fee for a high-data-rate connection that is always on.
&pplications of $'%:
The carriers or networ# operators are aiming their $'% services mainly at residential users. or
them it provides high-data-rate access to the Internet and at the same time an ordinary telephone
connection over a local loop. In these applications &$'% which transmits at a higher data rate
downstream than upstream and its variants are preferred. igure illustrates some applications
of $'%: remote access to a data center Internet access and interconnection of %&>s.

$'% replaces the ordinary local loop and $'% modems are needed at both ends of
the line. If an ordinary telephone connection is to be available simultaneously the low pass filter
splitter at the carrier7s central office splits off the voice channel and routes it to the 'T>. &
$'% access multiple!er )$'%&M* terminates the data channel at the other end of the subscriber
loop and sends traffic onto the carrier7s bac#bone data networ# implemented by I &TM frame
relay technology or fi!ed data circuits where it heads to a remote data center or the Internet.
$'% is mainly designed to improve the utiliation of subscriber cables in the access
networ#. /owever because it requires fewer intermediate repeaters system cost is reduced
and $'% will replace conventional primary rate 1.B- or C-Mbps copper cable transmission
systems inside the core networ# as well.
DSL Tec)ni2$es%$'% technologies are still evolving and many alternative technologies are
available today and new ones are under standardiation. The most important technologies their

The high-bit-rate $'% )/$'%* increases the section length and thusreduces the need for intermediate repeaters. This technology uses C=1A )two bits are
transmitted in each four-level symbol* encoding that has superior spectral and distance
characteristics. /$'% uses two )or sometimes three cable pairs* and thus it is not a consumer

access technology. It provides the same data rate for 1 or T1 in both directions and is suitable
for small and medium sie enterprises )'Ms* where upstream traffic has equal volume.
/$'% systems use two cable pairs for full-duple! transmission. The data rate is
divided between pairs. In one pair to one direction it is only half of the data rate of conventional
systems that use different cable pairs for each transmission direction. urther improvement is
achieved with the help of an efficient line code. The line code in use is C=1A which means that
each pair of bits is coded into one quaternary symbol with four values to the line. This is the
same line code that is used in I'$> basic rate subscriber lines for 1D0Ebps bidirectional
transmission and each symbol carries two bits of information. That reduces the symbol rate on
the line to half of the binary rate and the lower transmission rate decreases attenuation and
crosstal#. Ta#en together these developments double the transmission distance compared to the
distance of conventional systems.
The /$'% system transmits the same data rate to both directions Fust as
conventional 1.BGC-Mbps copper cable transmission systems. It will replace them in other
applications in the telecommunications networ# such as in I'$> 6I connections because it
requires fewer intermediate repeaters which reduces costs. /$'% is not a consumer access
technology because it is symmetrical uses two pairs and does not allow a voice-band telephone
connection to coe!ist in the same subscriber loop.

&n often-used term 6&$'% refers to modern $'% technologies such as &$'%.dmt
'$'% and ;$'% that can adapt their operation to ma!imie transmission rates over a cable
pair. To achieve this it adapts loading of each bin to its 'G> as e!plained earlier. /owever the
$'% access data rate is often set to be fi!ed and then 6&$'% technology can ensure that the
defined data rate is achieved in various loop conditions.
Ver(-Hi.)-Bi"-R!"e DSL 3VDSL4 %
;$'% is an evolving technology that aims to provide access to wider band services via ordinary
telephone subscriber pairs. The transmission data rate from the networ# to the subscriber7s
premises is up to BC Mbps and up to D Mbps in the opposite direction over a single pair )see

igure. Its symmetrical configuration allows an up to H-Mbps data rate in both directions. The
distance over an ordinary cable pair without intermediate repeaters is quite short between 0.1
and C #m depending on the data rate and loop conditions.
'ubscriber loops from e!change site are usually longer than ;$'% can tolerate and the
networ#-side ;$'% equipment has to be installed close to the customer. Then a copper wire $'%
part of the circuit might only include the drop line to a residence or business.
