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 Director: Les Brown, Huawei Technologies; Martin Casey, Calix

Business Impact:

As with the Fiber Access Networks work area, the focus is on cost reduction and accelerating time to market. Standardized interoperability and certification create a trusted base of equipment and services avoiding large investments in time, repeated customized one-off and NxN testing that impact revenue and credibility. Interoperability provides invaluable intelligence as feedback to both developers and implementers of new products and services. As the move to open sourcing gains momentum the role of interoperability becomes ever more necessary.

Scope:

Definition of test plans for access network physical layer transmission technologies (such as VDSL2 and G.fast) 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 documentation for advanced features, such as Upstream Power Back-off, Self Install, and Vectoring

WT-114i3	IL-114i3	VDSL2 Performance Test Plan - Issue 3	This Broadband Forum Working Text, WT-114i3, as part of the Broadband Suite, provides a set of region specific performance requirements and test methods for VDSL2 modems implemented in accordance with ITU-T G.993.2 (Very high speed Digital Subscriber Line transceivers 2). Its key value is in the verification of performance such that network operators may deploy consistent and successful VDSL2 services in their networks.	JIRA contributions	Aleksandra Kozarev, Intel

WT-115i3a1	IL-115i3a1	VDSL2 Functionality Test Plan - Issue 3 Amendment 1	This test plan describes a series of functionality tests that are used to verify that a VTU (VTU-O or VTU-R) is functionally compliant to ITU-T Recommendation G.993.2 (Very High Speed Subscriber Line transceiver 2). A VTU is functionally compliant to this test plan if it implements correctly the required functions and features of the ITU-T Recommendation G.993.2. In addition the VTU is functionally compliant if it implements the optional feature as specified in the standard. WT-115i3 also defines tests for some of the VDSL2 optional features such as dual latency and Seamless Rate Adaptation (SRA).	JIRA contributions	Aleksandra Kozarev, Intel
