TECHNICAL TUTORIAL | TUESDAY 19 MAY 2015

09.00   WELCOME, REGISTRATION AND COFFEE
     
MORNING SESSION
    PRESENTED BY BROADBAND FORUM AMBASSADORS
     
10.00   BBF: FTTdp and G.fast Certification
     
   


Tom Starr, AT&T
Broadband Forum


Kevin Foster
Broadband Forum
     
    The BBF WT-301 specifies the architecture of FTTdp (fiber to the distribution point) system and WT-318 specifies the management of the DPU (distribution point unit). This includes two alternatives: TR-167-based where the access node functions are located in the DPU, and TR-156-based where much of the access node functions are located in a HON (higher order node). FTTdp uses cases including G.fast and VDSL2 will be discussed.
   
  • uplink options (G-PON, XGPON1, point-to-point fiber, bonded copper)
  • reverse power feeding
  • PMA (persistent management agent)
  • NETCONF/Yang management protocol
  • automated service provisioning
  • FTTdp in the context of SDN/ NFV
10.45   COFFEE BREAK
     
11.15   The BBF’s G.fast certification and interoperability testing program includes specifications for plugfest testing, conformance testing, interoperability testing, and oversight of qualified testing laboratories. The testing addresses both network-side and customer premises G.fast equipment. Example test cases, including noise conditions will be discussed.
12.30   LUNCH
AFTERNOON SESSION
    PRESENTED BY ITU-T AMBASSADORS
     
14.00   ITU-T: G.fast Standards Developments

ITU-T
     
    The ITU-T G.fast standard (G.9970, G.9971) specifies the physical layer for transmission of up to one Gigabit-per-second over copper wires with signals transmitted up to 106 MHz. G.fast operates on copper wires to the customer premises and within the premises from a fiber-fed serving node that may be within the building or nearby. Transmission of a few hundred Mbits/s is supported on loops up to 400m. G.fast is designed to make self-installation of the equipment easy for the customer.
   
  • forward error control and retransmission
  • OLR and FRA (fast rate adaptation)
  • discontinuous operation to reduce power consumption
  • vectoring to remove far-end crosstalk
  • adjustable ratio of the bit-rates in upstream and downstream directions
14.45   COFFEE BREAK
   
  • control of frequency range, PSD, notching
  • management and diagnostic functions
  • protocol adaptation, data transmission units
  • rate vs. reach performance
  • current status of implementation and trials
  • what is next for G.fast
