` After start-up we will use a lower QAM then possible on most of
`the carriers
` the measured SNR at startup determines the maximum possible
`QAM at start-up
` Example : QAM-4096 corresponding with 12 bits per symbol 
`used QAM on that carrier : QAM-1024 (10 bits per symbol). This
`results in extra bits that could be allocated on that carrier
` During showtime (modem operation), the SNR is measured on
`all carriers at regular intervals (default 1 sec)
` if the SNR on a certain carrier degrades resulting at a lower QAM
`that can be used on that carrier, the bits of that carrier will be
`reallocated to other carriers where the maximum QAM is higher
`than the actual used QAM.
` the modems will try to spread out the reallocated bits over
`numerous carriers.

` Assume Trellis coding is NOT used !
` 1 data symbol corresponds to a 255 RS word. Some bytes in
`the RS word are framing overhead used for modem to modem
`communication (EOC, AOC, IB, CRC)
` If RS is not used, our data still runs through the RS decoder.

`Trellis coding
`
`TOC
`
` Trellis coding is another error detection and correction
`mechanism which is optional for ADSL.
` Trellis principle
` looking at the complete data, you’re able to detect and correct
`errors, similar to detection and correction is spoken language.
` Example :
`transmitted data
`received data
`
`the water is wet and cold
`the water is let and cold
`
`– by looking at the word “let” only, we can not decide that the sentence
`is wrong.
`– by looking at the information before and after the word (context), we
`can safely say that it should be “wet” instead of “let”.

` With ADSL, unable to provide consistent performance over
`longer distances.
` Several potential improvements defined in the last years in
`areas as:
` Data rate versus loop reach performance
` Loop diagnostics
` Deployment from remote cabinets
` Spectrum control
` Power control
` Robustness against loop impairments and RFI, operations and
`maintenance.
` So, after 3 years of field expierence with ADSL, the next steps
`are ADSL2, ADSL2+ and READSL

`ADSL2 improvements
`
`TOC
`
` ADSL2 will improve the ADSL rate and reach on long lines.
` ADSL2 is more robust in the presence of narrow band interference on
`long lines.
` This is done via improvements on:
` Modulation efficiency
` Mandatory trellis coding
` Enabling enhanced signal processing algorithm
` Reducing framing overhead
` Enabling achieving higher RS coding gain.
` Initialization state machine
` Existing ITU G.992.1 & 2 ADSL standards remain in force.
` New ADSL chipset should support ADSL2 and be backwards
`compatibility with G.992.1 & 2

`Improvements
`
`TOC
`
` Better modulation efficiency by mandatory trellis-coding. Was
`optional for ADSL (G.992.1).
` The 1-bit QAM constellation provide higher data rates on long
`lines where the SNR is low.
` In ADSL (G.992.1) the overhead bits per frame consume min.
`32Kbps of the payload data. By a low data rate of 128Kbps this
`is 25% overhead.
` In ADSL2 the overhead bits can be programmed from 4 to 32Kbps.
`This provides an additional 28Kbps for payload data.
` Improved performance by allowing data modulation on the pilot
`tone.

`
`Power Management (Power consumption)
`
`TOC
`
` Current ADSL operates always in full-power mode, even when
`no user data is transmited.
` ADSL2 brings in two power management modes, which reduce
`the overall power mode, while maintaining the “ADSL always
`on” functionality and reduce the overall power consumption.
` L0 = full power mode, used during high data traffic.
` L2 low-power mode: is based on the internet traffic over the ADSL
`connection. For example when there is only background traffic to
`keep sessions alive.
` L3 low-power mode: is a sleep mode when the user is not on-line.
`When user returns on-line, ADSL transceiver use a FAST
`STARTUP (duration 3 sec), to reinitialise and enter into showtime.

`IMA Bonding for higher data rates
`
`TOC
`
` With bonding multiple phone lines together, data rates to homes
`and businesses can be significantly increased.
` ADSL2 uses as bonding mechansime, the IMA (inverse
`multiplexing for ATM) standard.
` Through IMA, ADSL2 chipset can bind two or more copper
`pairs in an ADSL link, which results in higher downstream data
`rates.

`
` Allow ATU’s to quickly enter Showtime:
` From a L3 power management state
` In case of error during Showtime
`
` Data Rate fine tuning in Showtime.
` Following a Fast Start-up, Seamless Rate Adaptation (SRA) is
`used, to optimise the ATU settings. This because the fast startup
`makes estimations during the short training phase which will be
`most of the times not optimal.

`Reach Extended ADSL2 concept
`
`TOC
`
` A new ITU project studies Long Reach DSL (LDSL)
` Targets operation on long loops (e.g. up to 18 kft 26 AWG)
` Introduction of Reach Extended ADSL2 (READSL2)
` Not to much expected in long reach anyway (Shannon’s limit!!)
` New ADSL2 PSD mask with reduced crosstalk to existing services.
` Leads to a small reach increase on the longest loop of about 0,5 kft
`relative to ADSL2, if SHDSL is a dominating upstream killer.
` However, in self-crosstalk the length increases up to 2kft.
` Defined by ITU-T in Annex L of G.992.3 (2003)
` For a DS data rate of 500 Kbps, READSL2 results in an
`increase of coverage area of about 18%.
` Longer reach achieved by using a higher power level (PSD) but in
`a smaller band so that the total PSD remains the same as for
`ADSL2
