Mission Statement:
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 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.

WT/MD/SD# Projects Abstract Related Contributions Editors WT-476 Performance Test Plan for use of G.hn technology in access scenarios The goal is to provide performance requirements between a G.hn Aggregation Multiplexer (GAM) and one or more G.hn Network Terminations (GNTs). The focus is on the device level (DLL and PHY) testing, similar to how TR-380 is defined. This performance test plan will include test setup information, equipment configuration requirements, test procedures, and performance requirements for each test case. WT-476
