Mission Statement:

Excerpt

The Physical Layer Transmission Work Area provides test plans, technical documentation, and marketing papers to enable multi-vendor interoperability in deployments for both access and in-premises networks.

Work Area Directors:

 Herman Verbueken, Nokia; Dong Wei

Evan Sun, Huawei

Business Impact:

The focus of the PHYtx WA is to develop technical recommendations which will help service providers deploy equipment that will give a better quality of experience for their end users.

Standardized interoperability and certification, create a trusted base of equipment and services providing operators with an accelerated time to market, avoiding large investments in time and customizations. Interoperability provides invaluable intelligence as feedback to both developers and implementers of new products and services.

Scope:

  • Definition of test plans for access network physical layer transmission technologies (such as VDSL2 and Gfast) and Reverse Power Feeding technologies
  • Definition of test plans for in-premises network physical layer transmission technologies such as power line communications
  • Creation of best practice or use cases documentation for advanced features, such as  Fiber extensions, cable models.

Description

PS Leaders

NonPHYtx - PS AssignedProjects

Projects that don’t fit under the scope of an existing Project Stream or if they fit under the scope of more than one Project Stream, are developed under the Non-PS Assigned category. are handled on Work Area level.

FANCE (Fiber Access Network Copper Extensions)

Development of technical documentation for the deployment of copper transmission technologies that extend fiber networks to end-users using existing copper infrastructure at the premises. Technologies covered include but are not limited to Gfast, G.hn and MoCA.

G.fast and RPF Certification

Development of test plans and related technical documentation for certification and performance testing of ITU-T G.fast and its associated reverse power feeding.  This work may be leveraged within certification programs operated by the Broadband Forum.

Home Networking

Development of technical documentation for comparison of in-home network devices and their co-existence.

WT-500MoCA Access Performance Test Plan

MoCA AccessTM technology can be used to deliver gigabit and multi-gigabit services to the end-user in the scope of Fiber Extension (FTTep). It has been defined as one of the the available technologies in TR-419. MoCA has been defined by the Multimedia over Coax Alliance  (https://mocalliance.org). MoCA Acces supports broadband data transmission in the access environment - including large apartment and office buildings (the MDU environment).

The focus of this performance test plan is on the Physical layer and Traffic testing similar to how TR-380 and TR-476 are defined.  This performance test plan will include test setup information, equipment configuration requirements, test procedures, and performance requirements. Traffic tests should show the throughput and delay for various packet sizes and mixes for the various use cases

WT-301i2a3Architecture and Requirements for Fiber to the Distribution Point

TR-301defines the Distribution Point Unit (DPU), for use within the access network. All aspects of the introduction of the DPU into the network are considered and requirements are specified for the DPU and all affected nodes in the access network along with the RPF functionality.

Amendment 3 adds requirements for bulk data collection (using IPFIX) using the data model as defined in Broadband Forum.
