Introduction
Target Improved Performance of
Symmetric Transport using VDSL
Modified Version of Band Plan 998 with
variable low frequency region
Also may use to extend reach for
asymmetric applications
Improve Mid-reach Performance:
! 5Mb/s up to ~2 km
! 10 Mb/s up to ~1 km

Plan 998 w/ Variable LF Region
U0 D1 U1 D2 U2

Frequency
.025 .138 3.75 5.2 8.5 12.0 (MHz)
F1

Vary transition frequency F1 between U0 and D1 to boost

upstream channel bit rate
F1 vary between 25 kHz and 490 kHz
Derived via variable bandwidth capability of SHDSL (G.991.2)
Define supporting PSD
! Improve upstream channel performance at reduced downstream
channel rate
! Spectrally Compatible per T1.417

PSD Masks for Modified Plan 998
U0 band:
! -50 dBm/Hz maximum from 25 – 490 kHz
! Based on 2.32 Mb/s SHDSL Bandwidth
PSD Masks shown in subsequent charts
! Based on Mask M2 defined in T1.424
! Similar may be defined based on M1 in T1.424
PSD Nomenclature
! Plan998-M: Bands U0, D1, and U1
! Plan998-M+: Bands U0, D1, U1, D2, and U2

Some Observations on Performance

Asymmetric Profile: 2.5Mb/s upstream

! Plan998 provides reach to ~1.1 km
! Plan998-M(+) provides reach to ~ 2 km
UPBO
! U0 may be enabled based on UPBO status
! When UPBO is needed, band U0 may be turned off
! May apply extended upstream band (F1 > 25 kHz)
on loops longer than ~1 km

Summary
Recommend Variable F1: 25 – 490 kHz
Enhance performance of Upstream
Channel " More Symmetric Profile
Enhance service performance on loops
beyond ~1 km
Apply F1>25 kHz on loops where UPBO
cannot be used.

18
Conclusion
We recommend inclusion of the
modified bandplan 998 and the
supporting PSDs in the P802.3ah
Copper specification, D1.4
