18 Figure 4-1 is a block diagram o an SHDSL Transceiver Unit STU) transmitter showing the unctional blocks and interaces that are reerenced in this Recommendation. It illustrates the basic unctionality o the STU-R and the STU-C. Each STU contains both an application invariant section and an application speciic section. The application invariant section consists o the PMD and PMS-TC layers, while the application speciic aspects are conined to the TPS-TC layer and device interaces. As shown in the igure, one or more optional signal regenerators may also be included in an SHDSL span. Management unctions, which are typically controlled by the operator's network management system, are not shown in the igure. See clause 9 or details on management. Remote power eeding, which is optionally provided across the span by the STU-C, is not illustrated in the igure. The unctions at the central oice side constitute the STU-C or Line Termination LT)). The STU-C acts as the master both to the customer side unctions o the STU-R or Network Termination NT)) and to any regenerators. The STU-C and STU-R, along with the DLL Digital Local Line) and any regenerators, make up an SHDSL span. The DLL may consist o a single copper twisted pair, or, in optional conigurations, two copper twisted pairs. In the two-pair cases, each STU contains two separate PMD layers, interacing to a common PMS-TC layer. I enhanced transmission range is required, one or more signal regenerators may be inserted into the loop at intermediate points. These points shall be chosen to meet applicable criteria or insertion loss and loop transmission characteristics. The principal unctions o the PMD layer are: symbol timing generation and recovery; coding and decoding; modulation and demodulation; echo cancellation; line equalization; link startup. The PMD layer unctionality is described in detail in clause 6. The PMS-TC layer contains the raming and rame synchronization unctions, as well as the scrambler and descrambler. The PMS-TC layer is described in clause 7. The PMS-TC is connected across the α and β interaces in the STU-C and the STU-R, respectively, to the TPS-TC layer. The TPS-TC is application speciic and consists largely o the packaging o user data within the SHDSL rame. See clause 8 or details. This may include multiplexing, demultiplexing, and timing alignment o multiple user data channels. Supported TPS-TC user data raming ormats are described in Annex E. The TPS-TC layer communicates with the Interace blocks across the γ R and γ C interaces. Depending upon the speciic application, the TPS-TC layer may be required to support one or more channels o user data and associated interaces. The deinition o these interaces is beyond the scope o this Recommendation. Note that the α, β, γ R and γ C interaces are only intended as logical separations and need not be physically accessible. 6 ITU-T Rec. G /001)

Application model Figure 4-3 is an application model or a typical SHDSL system, showing reerence points and attached equipment. In such an application, an STU-R will typically connect to one or more user terminals, which may include data terminals, telecommunications equipment, or other devices. These connections to these pieces o terminal equipment are designated S/T reerence points. The connection between STU-R and STU-C may optionally contain one or more SHDSL signal regenerators SRUs). The connections to the DLLs that interconnect STUs and SRUs are designated U reerence points. For each STU-x and SRU, the Network side connection is termed the U-R interace and the Customer side connection is termed the U-C interace. The STU-C typically connects to a Central Oice network at the V reerence point. ITU-T Rec. G /001) 7

When transerring K inormation bits per one-dimensional PAM symbol, the symbol duration is K times the bit duration, so the K values o n or a given value o m are {mk + 0, mk + 1,, mk + K 1}.

The direct speciication o the perormance o individual receiver elements is avoided when possible. Instead, the transmitter characteristics are speciied on an individual basis and the receiver perormance is speciied on a general basis as the aggregate perormance o all receiver elements. Exceptions are made or cases where the perormance o an individual receiver element is crucial to interoperability. In 6.., "convergence" reers to the state where all adaptive elements have reached steady-state. The declaration o convergence by a transceiver is thereore vendor dependent. Nevertheless, actions based on the state o convergence are speciied to improve interoperability PMD activation reerence model The reerence model o the activation mode o an STU-C or STU-R transmitter is shown in Figure 6-5. logical ones dm) precoder coeicients, encoder coeicients Activation Framer m) Scrambler Spectral sm) Mapper ym) zt) Shaper output at loop interace T Figure 6-5/G.991.
