정보통신단체표준 ( 영문표준 ) Preface 1. Purpose of Standard This Recommendation pertains to flexible access networks using optical fibre technology. It describes a network supporting multiple services with bandwidth requirements ranging from that of voice to data and video, running at an aggregate reference downstream rate of 40 Gbit/s. This Recommendation specifies characteristics of the PMD layer of a PON system based on TWDM and an optional PtP WDM system that can be used in an overlay to TWDM with the capability of bi-directional data transmission between OLT and ONU. The OAN addressed by this Recommendation enables the network operator to provide a flexible upgrade to meet future customer requirements, in particular, in the area of the optical distribution network (ODN). The legacy ODN infrastructure is based on a point-to-multipoint tree and branch option using power splitter based technology (see [ITU-T G.989.1] for additional details). However, the use of wavelength splitters in the ODN is also allowed. 2. Summary of Contents Recommendation ITU-T G.989.2 specifies the physical media dependent (PMD) layer requirements for a passive optical network system with a nominal aggregate capacity of 40 Gbit/s in the downstream direction and 10Gbit/s in the upstream direction, hereinafter referred to as NG-PON2. NG-PON2 is a flexible optical fibre access network capable of supporting the bandwidth requirements of mobile backhaul, business and residential services. Furthermore, this recommendation describes optional configurations to extend beyond this nominal capacity as the G.989 series of standards allows for multiple upstream and downstream line rates. NG-PON2 wavelength plan is defined to enable the coexistence through wavelength overlay with legacy PON systems (see [ITU G.989.1]). The transmission convergence (TC) layer is based on Recommendation ITU-T G.987.3, with unique modifications for NG-PON2 captured in Recommendation ITU-T G.989.3. The ONU management and control interface (OMCI) specifications are described in Recommendation ITU-T G.988 for NG-PON2 extensions. v TTAE.IT-G.989.2

정보통신단체표준 ( 영문표준 ) This recommendation specifies the characteristics of hybrid time and wavelength multiplexed channels, hereinafter referred to as TWDM PON. The characteristics of, optional, tunable point-to-point wavelength overlay channels are also described, hereinafter referred to as PtP WDM PON. The TWDM PON described in this Recommendation represents a further development from the systems described in the ITU-T G.984 and G.987 series. To the greatest extent possible, this Recommendation retains the requirements of ITU-T G.984.1 and G.987.1 to ensure maximal reuse of existing technology and compatibility with deployed optical access systems and optical fibre infrastructure. 3.

FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications, information and communication technologies (ICTs). The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-T's purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression "Administration" is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure, e.g., interoperability or applicability) and compliance with the Recommendation is achieved when all of these mandatory provisions are met. The words "shall" or some other obligatory language such as "must" and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of such words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is required of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS ITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside of the Recommendation development process. As of the date of approval of this Recommendation, ITU had received notice of intellectual property, protected by patents, which may be required to implement this Recommendation. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent the latest information and are therefore strongly urged to consult the TSB patent database at http://www.itu.int/itu-t/ipr/.

Recommendation ITU-T G.989.2 40-Gigabit-capable passive optical networks 2 (NG-PON2): Physical media dependent (PMD) layer specification 1 Scope This Recommendation pertains to flexible access networks using optical fibre technology. It describes a network supporting multiple services with bandwidth requirements ranging from that of voice to data and video, running at an aggregate reference downstream rate of 40 Gbit/s. This Recommendation specifies characteristics of the physical media dependent (PMD) layer of a passive optical network (PON) system based on time and wavelength division multiplexing (TWDM) and an optional point-to-point wavelength division multiplexing (PtP WDM) system that can be used in an overlay to TWDM with the capability of bidirectional data transmission between optical line termination (OLT) and optical network unit (ONU). The optical access network (OAN) addressed by this Recommendation enables the network operator to provide a flexible upgrade to meet future customer requirements, in particular, in the area of the optical distribution network (ODN). The legacy ODN infrastructure is based on a point-to-multipoint tree and branch option using power splitter based technology (see [ITU-T G.989.1] for additional details). However, the use of wavelength splitters in the ODN is also allowed. 2 References The following ITU-T Recommendations and other references contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this Recommendation.

Figure 5-3 Relationship between the power and loss budget parameters 5.4 Dynamic range, sensitivity and overload The concept of the dynamic range definition is illustrated in Figure 5-4. The receiver sensitivity and overload are generally understood, respectively, as the minimum and maximum average received optical power at which the bit error ratio (BER) at the receiver output remains at the specified reference level. The observed values of receiver sensitivity and overload may vary as the operating temperature and signal quality change, and the system ages. The signal quality characteristics that affect receiver sensitivity and overload may include the transmitter extinction ratio (ER), parameters of the eye diagram and in-band crosstalk. In the present series of Recommendations, receiver sensitivity and receiver overload are formally specified by their respective worst-case values, i.e., maximum sensitivity and minimum overload over the range of operating temperature and signal quality parameters, and under the end-of-life conditions.

It is assumed that the FEC algorithms specified, respectively, for continuous mode downstream and burst mode upstream transmission are sufficiently strong to achieve the BER level of 10 12 or better at the FEC decoder output. See [b-itu-t G.sup39] for further discussion. 5.6 Reach and distance See clause 5.4 of [ITU-T G.987], which is applicable in the NG-PON2 context as well. 5.7 Use of the term passive optical network (PON) See clause 5.5 of [ITU-T G.987], which is applicable in the NG-PON2 context as well. 5.8 Use of the term optical distribution network (ODN) See clause 5.6 of [ITU-T G.987], which is applicable in the NG-PON2 context as well. 5.9 Use of the terms optical network unit (ONU) and optical network termination (ONT) See clause 5.7 of [ITU-T G.987], which is applicable in the NG-PON2 context as well. 5.10 Use of the terms T-CONT and Alloc-ID The terms transmission container (T-CONT) and allocation identifier (Alloc-ID) are used for consistency with the ITU-T G.989 series of Recommendations, but are not used in this Recommendation. 5.11 Use of the terms bandwidth assignment and bandwidth allocation These terms are used for consistency with the ITU-T G.989 series of Recommendations, but are not used in this Recommendation. 12 Rec. ITU-T G.989.2 (12/2014)

5.12 Use of the terms band and range When used in the context of optical spectrum, the terms band and range generally denote a spectral interval in terms of frequency (fmin, fmax) or wavelength ( min, max). Within the NG-PON2 context, the term band applies specifically to a spectral interval which covers all wavelength channels of a specific application (e.g., TWDM PON upstream band, narrowband option, shared spectrum band, G-PON downstream band), whereas the term range usually applies to a spectral interval corresponding to a single wavelength channel. The operating bands are specified in wavelength terms as a matter of convenience for classification and reference purposes. The actual minimum and maximum wavelengths for an operating band of each application should be calculated from the maximum and minimum frequencies of the two outmost wavelength channels defined for that application. 5.13 Transmitter enable control and associated transient times Conceptually, TxEnable is a binary signal that controls a burst-mode ONU transmitter. The TxEnable signal must be asserted (active) for the ONU to transmit an assigned burst. The TxEnable signal is expected to be de-asserted (inactive) whenever no burst is assigned to the ONU. The transmitter enable transient time and transmitter disable transient time are the allocated time intervals which serve to accommodate any transient physical processes that may be associated, respectively, with assertion and de-assertion of the TxEnable signal. The maximum number of bits allocated for transmitter enable transient time and transmitter disable transient time are specified in Tables 11-6 and 11-7 for 2.48832 Gbit/s and 9.95328 Gbit/s, respectively. Figure 5-5 shows the relationship between the level of the TxEnable signal (without loss of generality, active-high logic is assumed) and the associated transient times of the burst-mode transmitter. Within the scope of this Recommendation, the definitions of the optical-power-related physical media dependent (PMD) parameters applicable to the burst-mode transmitters (mean launch optical power, ER, out-of-channel power spectral density (OOC-PSD), optical power spectral density when not enabled (WNE-PSD)) are referenced to the corresponding averaging intervals which are specified in terms of transmitter's enabled/disabled periods and the associated transient times. Figure 5-5 The TxEnable signal and the associated transient times of a burst-mode transmitter 6 Architecture of the optical access network Figure 6-1 represents the reference logical architecture for the multi-wavelength NG-PON2 system. A multi-system OAN architecture for NG-PON2 coexistence with legacy systems is represented in Figure 5-1 of [ITU-T G.989.1]. During coexistence, mitigation techniques may be necessary to avoid inter-system impairments, e.g., see Appendix VI and Appendix IX for Raman crosstalk Rec. ITU-T G.989.2 (12/2014) 13

considerations. This architecture allows both point-to-multipoint connectivity (i.e., TWDM PON) and virtual point-to-point connectivity (i.e., PtP WDM PON). Figure 6-1 NG-PON2 reference logical architecture The following reference points from Figure 6-1 are defined below: S: The sending interface to the network. R: The receiving interface from the network. S/R, R/S: Combination of points S and R existing simultaneously in a single fibre, when operating in bidirectional mode. The S/R point is referenced to the OLT side, the R/S point is referenced to the ONU side. The two directions for optical transmission in the ODN are identified as follows: downstream direction for signals travelling from the OLT to the ONU(s); and upstream direction for signals travelling from the ONU(s) to the OLT. Transmission in downstream and upstream directions takes place in the ODN through the same fibre and components (duplex/diplex configuration). Optical power is specified at the S/R reference point for channel group (S/R-CG) reference point of Figure 6-1 for the individual wavelength channels in the associated optical interface parameters tables. Additionally, examples of WM loss values are provided in Appendix VIII. The optical power for the individual S/R reference point for channel pairs (S/R-CPs) is not specified in this standard and can be derived from the S/R-CG and WM loss values. Each ONU in Figure 6-1 is equipped with a tunable transmitter and a tunable receiver. The tunable ONU transmitter must be able to adjust to the allocated upstream TWDM or PtP WDM wavelength channels within the bands specified in Table 9-1. The tunable ONU receiver must be able to adjust to the allocated downstream TWDM or PtP WDM wavelength channels within the bands specified in Table 9-1. This Recommendation specifies a minimum of four, with extension up to eight, TWDM channels. A minimum of four PtP WDM channels is supported with a maximum not specified. The number of wavelength channels supported by a given equipment implementation or network instance is not specified; however the optical parameter tables should be consulted for the specific assumptions made for the parameters given. 14 Rec. ITU-T G.989.2 (12/2014)

The architecture can be extended to support multiple OLTs on a common ODN for other purposes such as pay-as-you-grow deployment and spectral flexibility. 6.1 Physical grouping of logical functions The logical functions identified in Figure 6-1 for NG-PON2 could be considered to be individual physical items, or fully integrated into a single device. 6.2 ODN optical path loss classes ODN optical path loss classes (ODN classes) are specified in Table 6-1. The optical path loss for each class is specified at IFNG-PON2 of one side of the ODN and at IFNG-PON2 of the other side of the ODN in each direction. It takes into account a 15 db differential optical path loss and optical path penalty (OPPs). Table 6-1 ODN optical path loss classes (ODN classes) 2 Class N1 Class N2 Class E1 Class E2 Minimum optical path loss 14 db 16 db 18 db 20 db Maximum optical path loss 29 db 31 db 33 db 35 db Maximum differential optical path loss 15 db ODNs including gain elements, wavelength couplers or low split ratio power splitters may have optical path losses less than the stated minimum loss values above. In such a case, the ODN must contain measures (e.g., optical attenuators) to guarantee the minimum optical path loss for the given class to prevent BER degradation and/or potential damage to receivers. 6.3 Fibre distance classes Fibre distance classes are specified in Table 6-2.

9 Common optical network requirements 9.1 Layered structure of optical network The layered structure of the NG-PON2 optical network can generally be represented by a structure in which the data plane and the auxiliary management and control plane are mounted on top of the common physical medium, represented by the NG-PON2 ODN. 9.2 Wavelength plans for NG-PON2 Table 9-1 specifies the wavelength plans for both TWDM PON and PtP WDM PON. The NG-PON2 wavelength plan is specified to enable the coexistence through wavelength overlay with legacy PON systems (see [ITU-T G.989.1]). Shared spectrum allows full coexistence with G-PON, XG-PON1, radio frequency (RF) video overlay and TWDM. The expanded spectrum option of PtP WDM PON supports spectral flexibility as described in clause 9.2 of [ITU-T G.989.1]. Expanded spectrum can be used in the absence of any one of these coexistence systems. Wavelength compatible systems GPON, RF video, XG-PON1 Table 9-1 NG-PON2 wavelength bands TWDM PON PtP WDM PON Downstream Upstream Upstream/downstream 1596-1603 nm Wideband option 1524-1544 nm Reduced band option 1528-1540 nm Narrow band option 1532-1540 nm Expanded spectrum 1524-1625 nm (Note 1) Shared spectrum 1603-1625 nm (Note 2) NOTE 1 This Recommendation specifies PtP WDM PON anywhere in the spectrum identified in Table 9-1, subject to spectrum otherwise being used. Whenever a particular subset of the spectrum in either band is unused by TWDM PON and/or legacy systems, PtP WDM PON is permitted to make use of that particular sub-band in upstream and/or downstream direction. However, the isolation requirements to the TWDM PON and/or legacy systems must be considered when determining the expanded spectrum wavelengths to be occupied by PtP WDM PON. NOTE 2 When TWDM PON and PtP WDM PON are both present, wavelength channels of both technologies may occupy adjacent wavelength bands; however, TWDM and PtP WDM channels must not be interleaved. The required guard band between TWDM PON and PtP WDM PON is a minimum of 3 nm when using separate mux/demux devices. In the shared spectrum case, the PtP WDM PON upstream channels use the shorter wavelengths in the shared spectrum. When a single device is used to multiplex PtP WDM PON and TWDM PON, the required guard band is a minimum of 100 GHz. The selection of the operating band option in the PtP WDM PON sub-bands depends on the coexistence requirements. In the expanded spectrum case, DWDM grids as specified in [ITU-T G.694.1] or [ITU-T G.698.3] can be used. See Appendix VII for some example channel plans; however other plans are conceivable and permitted. 9.3 Physical media dependent layer requirements This clause contains the PMD layer specifications that are common to both TWDM PON and PtP WDM PON. Unique specifications for TWDM PON and PtP WDM PON are contained in respective clauses and annexes of this Recommendation. 16 Rec. ITU-T G.989.2 (12/2014)

9.3.1 Physical media and transmission method 9.3.1.1 Transmission medium This Recommendation is based on the fibre described in [ITU-T G.652]. Other fibre types compatible with this Recommendation, e.g., [ITU-T G.657], may be used for indoor cabling and/or drop section. 9.3.1.2 Transmission direction Signals are transmitted both upstream and downstream through the optical transmission medium of the ODN. 9.3.1.3 Transmission method Bidirectional transmission is accomplished by use of a WDM technique on a single fibre. 9.3.2 Minimum extinction ratio The minimum ER is specified in logarithmic form and is expressed in decibels as a positive number. To satisfy the requirement, a component or device must meet or exceed the specified ratio. To measure signal ER at a single-channel reference point (S/R-CP or R/S) the configuration shown in Figure B.1 of [ITU-T G.957] can be used directly. In the case of measurements at the multichannel reference point (S/R-CG), channel isolation is performed with a reference optical bandpass filter (as described in [ITU-T G.959.1], Annex B) before applying this filter output to the configuration shown in Figure B.1 of [ITU-T G.957]. 9.3.3 Maximum reflectance of equipment, measured at the transmitter wavelength The maximum reflectance of equipment, measured at the transmitter wavelength, is specified as a ratio less than one and is expressed in decibels. To satisfy the requirement, a component/device must not exceed the specified ratio. 9.3.4 Tolerance to reflected optical power The tolerance to reflected optical power is specified as a ratio less than one and is expressed in decibels. To satisfy the requirement, the transmitter must operate without performance degradation in the presence of the optical reflections at or below the specified tolerance level. This parameter is shown in [ITU-T G.984.2] as "Tolerance to the transmitter incident light power". 9.3.5 Optical path between S/R and R/S 9.3.5.1 Attenuation range The optical power parameters are specified for four distinct ODN optical path loss classes in clause 6.2. Each class is specified by its respective minimum and maximum optical path loss between the S/R-CG and R/S reference points. The attenuation range is the difference between the maximum and minimum optical path loss in each class. 9.3.5.2 Minimum optical return loss The minimum optical return loss (ORL) is specified as a ratio greater than one and is expressed in decibels. To satisfy the requirement, a component/device must meet or exceed the specified ratio. 9.3.5.3 Maximum discrete reflectance between points S and R The maximum discrete reflectance is the maximum value of reflectance of any single discrete element in the ODN. The value specified in this Recommendation is lower than 35 db, also see [ITU-T G.982]. Rec. ITU-T G.989.2 (12/2014) 17

9.3.5.4 Dispersion Maximum values of dispersion (ps/nm) are specified in Tables 11-4 to 11-7 for TWDM PON, and Tables A.2 to A.7 for PtP WDM PON. These values are consistent with the maximum OPPs specified. They take into account the worst-case fibre dispersion coefficient over the operating wavelength band. 9.3.6 Receiver at reference point R All parameters are specified as follows, in accordance with Tables 11-4 to 11-7 for TWDM PON, and Tables A.2 to A.7 for PtP WDM PON. 9.3.6.1 Receiver sensitivity The receiver sensitivity is specified as a power level and is expressed in decibels relative to 1 mw. To satisfy the requirement, a component or device must be qualified at or below the specified power level. 9.3.6.2 Receiver overload The receiver overload is specified as a power level and is expressed in decibels relative to 1 mw. To satisfy the requirement, a component/device must be qualified at or above the specified power level. 9.3.6.3 Maximum optical path penalty The optical path penalty is specified as a ratio greater than one and is expressed in decibels. The optical link budget for a particular ODN optical loss class is satisfied, only if the difference between the minimum transmitter mean launch optical power (in decibels relative to 1 mw) and the receiver sensitivity (in decibels relative to 1 mw) is equal to or exceeds the sum of the maximum OPP (in decibels) and the maximum optical path loss (in decibels) specified for the given ODN optical loss class. 9.3.6.4 Maximum reflectance measured at the receiver wavelength The reflectance at S/R-CG or R/S reference point, measured at the receiver wavelength, is specified as a ratio less than one and is expressed in decibels. To satisfy the requirement, a component/device must not exceed the specified ratio. 9.3.6.5 Clock extraction capability Conventional clock extraction applies for continuous data transmission i.e., as used for TWDM PON downstream and PtP WDM PON in both directions. For TDMA burst mode transmission, the clock of the upstream transmission signal is extracted rapidly from several alternating bits in the preamble. The clock extracted from the preamble is maintained at least during reception of the signal from the delimiter through the end of the upstream assigned burst, or is continuously extracted from the signal after the preamble during reception of the assigned burst. 9.3.6.6 Consecutive identical digit immunity The consecutive identical digit (CID) immunity is specified as a bit pattern length. To satisfy the requirement, the system must meet or exceed the specified length. 9.3.6.7 Transmission quality and error performance The bit error ratio reference level describes the quality of the transmission system. The BER reference level is specified for performing measurements of the receiver sensitivity and overload. A compliant system provides BER equal to or better than the specified value. 18 Rec. ITU-T G.989.2 (12/2014)

9.3.7 Tunable characteristics for transmitter and receiver A key feature of NG-PON2 is the ability to tune the ONU transmitter and receiver. In the OLT to ONU downstream direction, a tunable ONU receiver is required to select the proper wavelength channel. In the ONU to OLT upstream direction, the ONU transmitter is tuned to emit at the desired wavelength channel. There are two characteristics of tunable transmitter/receiver; channel control and wavelength control. For wavelength control, two types of mechanisms are allowed; one requires OLT and ONU interaction to manage the wavelength, the other requires the ONU to be in complete control of the wavelength. The mechanisms of the tuning process are outside the scope of this Recommendation. Note that the specifications in the optical interface parameter tables in clause 11 and Annex A must be met throughout the tuning process to avoid any rogue behaviour. The central frequency, spectral excursion, channel spacing (CS), and tuning characteristics are specified in the respective clauses and annexes of this Recommendation. This Recommendation classifies the wavelength channel tuning time of a receiver or transmitter into three classes. These classes may enable different use cases, but the definition of the use cases are outside the scope of this Recommendation. Table 9-2 Classes of transmitter/receiver wavelength channel tuning times Class 1 Class 2 Class 3 10 μs 10 μs to 25 ms 25 ms to 1 s 9.3.8 Minimum side mode suppression ratio The minimum side mode suppression ratio (SMSR) is specified in logarithmic form and is expressed in decibels as a positive number. To satisfy the requirement, the component/device must meet or exceed the specified ratio. SMSR is measured on the laser output, before any filtering. This prevents a significant mode partition noise penalty. Other limitations on out-of-band (OOB)/out-of-channel (OOC) power still apply to the equipment interface. 9.3.9 Out-of-channel power spectral density mask The OOC-PSD must not exceed certain levels that depend on the optical frequency offset from the nominal channel central frequency (f0). These limits are depicted in Figure 9-1, in terms of the specified CS, and the specified maximum spectral excursion (MSE). OOC2 is the limit within the ± MSE interval of each channel, and OOC1 is the limit in between those intervals. A transmitter must comply with the mask when it is tuned anywhere within its MSE. Rec. ITU-T G.989.2 (12/2014) 19

Figure 9-1 OOC-PSD mask definition 10 Crosstalk-to-signal ratio tolerance for NG-PON2 In the previously specified PON systems, the crosstalk-to-signal ratio (X/S) tolerance characteristics have applied only to the ONU. However, NG-PON2 is a multi-wavelength architecture and as such, the NG-PON2 wavelength channels not intended for a particular receiver (either at the ONU or at the OLT) can be considered interfering signals. This clause specifies X/S characteristics for both the ONU and the OLT. It is anticipated that the ONU will provide X/S filtering directly at the ONU's receiver; whereas X/S filtering at the OLT will likely be external to the OLT receiver, or in combination with the receiver. In any case, this Recommendation specifies only the X/S filtering needed and leaves the method of obtaining that X/S to the implementers of this Recommendation. As NG-PON2 is a multi-wavelength system, interfering signals may derive from other NG-PON2 wavelength channels. In the case of the ONU, interfering signals may also derive from coexisting legacy systems such as G-PON, XG-PON1, RF video overlay and maintenance wavelengths from optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR). To minimize the effect of interfering signals, NG-PON2 receivers need to reject them using an appropriate wavelength filtering. This Recommendation does not specify the isolation characteristics of the wavelength filtering directly, but specifies the X/S tolerance of the NG-PON2 receiver 3. Here, S is the optical power of an individual wavelength channel within an aggregate NG-PON2 signal, and X is that of the aggregated interfering signals, consisting of legacy signals and other NG-PON2 wavelength channels. Both are measured at the receiver reference point R, corresponding to the IF reference points specified in Figure 6-1. The interfering signal format for measuring X/S tolerance is a non-return to zero (NRZ) pseudorandom code with the same line rate as the target NG-PON2 signal. In the case of both TWDM PON and PtP WDM PON, eight channels are considered the worst-case configuration. The wavelength filtering is divided into two parts: a wideband X/S, based on legacy system considerations, and a narrowband X/S based on the NG-PON2 wavelength channels. 3 The X/S definition is intended to capture the worst-case difference in interfering signal levels (X) relative to the intended data signal (S). In order to derive the actual isolation value, the X/S value is added to the required level of isolation from the interfering signal to obtain a stated degradation of "x" db to the data signal. 20 Rec. ITU-T G.989.2 (12/2014)

10.1 Wideband X/S tolerance mask definition This clause describes the generic X/S tolerance of NG-PON2 devices. It makes no assumption about additional services using the wavelength band specified in this Recommendation. 10.1.1 Wideband ONU X/S tolerance Figure 10-1 shows the generic PON X/S tolerance mask that allows the NG-PON2 ONU receiver to meet its sensitivity requirements in the presence of legacy systems. Implementers need to specify the isolation characteristics of the wavelength filters to obtain enough isolation of the interfering signal(s). The wavelengths and total optical power of all additional services must fall beneath the mask of Figure 10-1 to allow coexistence with NG-PON2 ONUs. Class Y (db) N1, E1, N2, E2 21.5 Figure 10-1 X/S tolerance mask for TWDM PON ONU S: Received optical power for target channel in TWDM PON downstream band. X: Maximum total power of other optical signals received in the blocking wavelength band. X/S: The value in the mask (hatched area) allows the NG-PON2 receiver to meet its sensitivity requirements The wideband ONU X/S tolerance mask of PtP WDM PON can be derived by analogy with the TWDM PON X/S tolerance mask above. The specific values are for further study (FFS). 10.1.2 Wideband OLT X/S tolerance The separation of legacy system wavelengths from the NG-PON2 wavelengths is accomplished by the coexistence element (CE), as defined in [ITU-T G.984.5]. This device must have sufficient isolation to allow the OLT to operate within specifications. As the CE is not part of the OLT equipment, there are no requirements on the OLT equipment for wideband X/S tolerance. 10.2 Narrowband TWDM PON X/S tolerance mask The narrowband TWDM PON X/S mask is shown in Figure 10-2, using the particular value tables as given below. The TWDM-PON self-interference configuration is common to both the ONU and OLT. This configuration of one desired wavelength and 14 potentially interfering wavelengths is devised to approximate the worst-case crosstalk situation. Of the 14 interference locations, only seven contiguous points will be populated at any one time. That is to say, if the central frequency is on channel C (C being of the value one through eight), the shortest wavelength interferer would be at Rec. ITU-T G.989.2 (12/2014) 21

channel one, and the longest wavelength interferer would be on channel eight. The receiver is required to have its specified sensitivity for the desired signal over the wavelength band S- to S+, despite the fact that the seven interferers are present with power level X and modulated with a TWDM PON signal format of the same rate as the signal channel. 10.2.1 Narrowband ONU X/S tolerance mask In addition to the TWDM interferers, there are an assumed eight PtP WDM interferers, both downstream and upstream. These are assumed to be at the channel assignments as given in Appendix VII, Table VII-3. The upstream interference channels (which result from the potential for a 32 db ORL in the ODN) have a power level Y and modulated with an NRZ signal at a similar data rate as the signal channel. The downstream interference channels have a power level Z and are modulated with an NRZ signal at the similar data rate as the signal channel. The parameters of the downstream mask are given in Table 10-1.

It may also support an optional extension up to eight TWDM channels. All parameters are specified as follows, and are in accordance with Tables 11-4 to 11-7. All parameter values specified are met under the worst-case operating conditions such as temperature and humidity, and include ageing effects, as specified in [ITU-T G.989.1]. The parameters are specified relative to a BER Reference level not worse than the values specified in Tables 11-4 to 11-7, for the worst-case optical path loss (see Table 6-1) and fibre chromatic dispersion. 24 Rec.

Parameters to be specified are categorized by downstream and upstream nominal line rates, and downstream/upstream rate combinations as shown in Table 11-1. Each TWDM channel in the channel group on a TWDM PON can use any of the line rate options specified in Table 11-1.

When the OLT is in its free running mode, the accuracy of the downstream signal is at least that of a Stratum-4 clock (3.2 10 5 ). OLTs intended for timing-critical applications such as mobile backhaul may require Stratum-3 quality in free-running mode. NOTE The OLT may derive its timing from either a dedicated timing signal source or from a synchronous data interface (line timing). A packet-based timing source may also be used. 11.1.1.2 Upstream clock accuracy When in one of its operating states and granted an allocation, the ONU transmits its signal with frequency accuracy equal to that of the received downstream signal. 11.1.2 Line code The convention used for optical logic levels is: high level of light emission for a binary ONE; low level of light emission for a binary ZERO. 11.1.2.1 Downstream Downstream line coding for 9.95328Gbit/s: scrambled NRZ. Downstream line coding for 2.48832Gbit/s: scrambled NRZ.

NOTE 11 See [b-itu-t G.Sup39], clause 9.4.1 for additional details. NOTE 12 See clause 11.1.4.3.1 for an approach to accommodate the case of 40 km and eight wavelengths. 11.1.4.3.1 Example of upstream OPP and receiver substitution The upstream tables specify the OLT receiver sensitivity for the base case of 20 km and four TWDM channels. As noted in the tables above, if a different application is used, then the OPPs will be different and potentially impact the optical link budget. The case of the 40 km and eight wavelengths can be accommodated by selecting the OLT receiver specified for the next available ODN class. For example, in Table 11-6, N2 class with 40 km and eight wavelengths needs an additional 1.5 db of optical link budget. Selecting the E1 class OLT provides a 2.0 db improvement and thereby meets the budget requirement. 11.1.5 Transmitter at reference point S All parameters are defined as follows, and are in accordance with Table 11-4 to Table 11-7. 11.1.5.1 Source type Considering the attenuation/dispersion characteristics of the target fibre channel, suitable transmitter devices include only single longitudinal mode (SLM) lasers. The indication of a nominal source type in this Recommendation is not a requirement though it is also expected that only SLM lasers meet all the distance and line rate requirements of both the downstream and upstream links. Rec. ITU-T G.989.2 (12/2014) 35

11.1.5.2 Spectral characteristics For SLM lasers, the laser is specified by its fibre dispersion range, the range over which the laser characteristics and fibre dispersion result in a defined penalty at a specified fibre distance, under standard operating conditions. Additionally, for control of mode partition noise in SLM systems, a minimum value for the laser SMSR is specified. The actual spectral characteristics are limited by the maximum amount of OPP produced with the worst-case optical dispersion in the data signal. 11.1.5.2.1 Operating wavelength band Operating wavelength band specification options are summarized in Table 9-1. 11.1.5.2.2 Nominal central frequency The central frequencies are based on the frequency grid given in [ITU-T G.694.1]. The downstream central frequencies are specified in Table 11-2. Examples of TWDM upstream channel grid are in Clause VIII.4. Note that the value of "c" (speed of light in a vacuum) that is used for converting between frequency and wavelength is 2.99792458 10 8 m/s. 11.1.5.2.3 Operating channel spacing The specified value of the operating CS is used to parameterize the spectral properties of a laser. 11.1.5.2.4 Maximum spectral excursion The MSE is specified as a one-sided deviation from the nominal central wavelength and is expressed in gigahertz. The maximum spectral excursion requirement applies to fixed wavelength transmitters as well as tunable wavelength transmitters. For tunable wavelength transmitters, it only applies while they are in a stationary wavelength channel state. Among the tunable transmitters, the maximum spectral excursion requirement applies to both tunable transmitters, which are under fine wavelength control of the OLT, and tunable transmitters, which are not under fine wavelength control of the OLT. In the application to NG-PON2, MSE is the total allowable excursion due to: spectral width, tuning granularity, short-term wavelength drift (over one OLT-ONU tuning cycle) and tuning control errors, when tunable ONU transmitters under fine OLT control are used; spectral width, tuning granularity and tuning accuracy, when tunable ONU transmitters not under fine OLT control are used. 36 Rec. ITU-T G.989.2 (12/2014)

11.1.5.2.5 Minimum tuning window Figure 11-1 Spectral excursion illustration The minimum tuning window is specified as a positive number in gigahertz. To satisfy the requirement, a component or device must meet or exceed the specified value. 11.1.5.2.6 Tuning granularity The tuning granularity is specified as a positive number in gigahertz. To satisfy the requirement, a component or device must not exceed the specified value. 11.1.5.2.7 ONU transmitter power wavelength dependency The ONU transmitter power wavelength dependency is specified as a ratio greater than one and is expressed in decibels. To satisfy the requirement a component or device must not exceed the specified value. 11.1.5.2.8 Mean launch optical power The mean launch optical power is specified as a range to allow for some cost optimization and to cover all allowances for operation under standard operating conditions, transmitter connector degradation, measurement tolerances and ageing effects. In the operating state, the lower figure is the minimum power to be provided and the higher one is the power never to be exceeded. NOTE Measurement of the launch power at the ONU reference point S optical interface must take into account the bursty nature of the upstream traffic transmitted by the ONUs. 11.1.5.2.9 Upstream optical PSD when not enabled (WNE-PSD) In the upstream direction, the ONU transmitter ideally launches no power into the fibre in all bursts which are not assigned to that ONU. However, an optical power level less than or equal to the upstream WNE-PSD is allowed during bursts which are not assigned to that ONU. During the transmitter enable transient time immediately preceding the assigned burst, which may be used for laser pre-bias, and during the transmitter disable transient time immediately following the assigned burst, the maximum launch power level allowed is the zero level corresponding to the minimum ER and the maximum channel launch power specified in Tables 11-6 and 11-7. Rec. ITU-T G.989.2 (12/2014) 37

The specification of the maximum transmitter enable and transmitter disable transient times is provided in Tables 11-6 and 11-7.

Note that it is a stress test to ensure that no additional penalty is incurred under operating conditions. The ONU must tolerate, as a minimum, the input jitter applied according to the mask in Figure 11-9, with the parameters specified in that figure for the downstream line rate. The OLT must tolerate, as a minimum, the input jitter applied according to the mask in Figure 11-9, with the parameters specified in that figure for the upstream line rate. The jitter tolerance specification for the OLT is informative as it can only be measured in a setting that permits continuous operation of the upstream. 11.1.5.4.3 Jitter generation An ONU must not generate a peak-to-peak jitter amplitude more than shown in Table 11-10 with no jitter applied to the downstream input and with a measurement bandwidth as specified in Table 11-10. An OLT must not generate a peak-to-peak jitter amplitude more than shown in Table 11-10 with no jitter applied to its timing reference input and with a measurement band as specified in Table 11-10.

Annex A Tunable PtP WDM PON PMD layer requirements (This annex forms an integral part of this Recommendation.) This annex describes a PtP WDM PON system with wavelength tunability. The characteristic of a PtP WDM PON is that each ONU is served by one pair of upstream and downstream wavelengths dedicated to this ONU. On the OLT side, downstream wavelengths are multiplexed onto a shared, bidirectional fibre connecting the wavelength WM to a branching node (BN). Figure A.1 shows a logical view of a PtP WDM PON. Figure A.1 Logical architecture of a generic PtP WDM PON Examples of PtP WDM PON clients include GbE, 10GbE and [b-cpri]. The OLT channel pair may also exist in multiple instances, particularly to support different client types. At a BN, the ODN branches out to drop fibres, one for each ONU. The feeder and BN may be further divided into sub-trees, and part or all of the feeder-bn tree, and even the drop fibres, may be duplicated for redundancy. The BN may include any combination of power splitters, bandpass or bandstop filters, or wavelength filters (e.g., arrayed waveguide gratings (AWGs)). Logically, a wavelength selection function is required between each port of the BN and the corresponding colourless ONU transceiver. This wavelength selector can be located physically either within the ONU (wavelength selected case) or at a BN (wavelength routed case), giving rise to two classes of PtP WDM PON architecture: Wavelength-selected: The λ selection function is built into the ONU. Part or all of the spectrum is available to the ONU (power split with or without bandpass filter) such that it is possible for the ONU and OLT to communicate on part or all of the spectrum. The ONU determines its wavelength in an activation process that involves the OLT. The upstream wavelength is typically established as a fixed function of the assigned downstream wavelength. This class of PtP WDM PON supports power splitter ODN. This annex focuses on the wavelength-selected class of PtP WDM PON as an overlay to TWDM PON. 44 Rec. ITU-T G.989.2 (12/2014)

Wavelength-routed: The λ selection function is part of the BN. The ONU's wavelength is determined by its physical connectivity to the ODN, for example by a port on an AWG. Upstream and downstream wavelengths may be the same, or may differ by a multiple of the free spectral range (FSR) of the AWG. This class of PtP WDM PON supports filtered ODN. ONUs that have no wavelength selective capability, i.e., that can only support a fully wavelength routed architecture, are out of scope of this annex. A.1 PMD layer requirements The PtP WDM PON system must support minimum four PtP WDM channels. All parameters are specified as follows, and are in accordance with Table A.2 to Table A.7. All parameter values specified are worst-case values, to be met over the range of operating conditions such as temperature and humidity, and include ageing effects, as specified in [ITU-T G.989.1]. The parameters are specified relative to a BER not worse than the values specified in Table A.2 to Table A.7, for the worst-case optical path loss (see Table 6-1) and fibre chromatic dispersion. A.1.1 Line rate This clause specifies the line rates required to support various PtP WDM PON clients. Parameters to be specified are categorized by downstream and upstream, and the nominal line rates as shown in Table A.1. The PtP WDM PON supports three classes of line rates. Each line rate applies for a symmetric service protocol, i.e., the downstream and the upstream line rates are identical for the respective service protocol. The downstream and upstream PMD parameters are specified in Table A.2 to Table A.7. Line rate class Table A.1 Relation between PtP WDM PON line rate classes and optical parameter tables Nominal line rate (Gbit/s) Symmetric downstream and upstream 1 1.24416, 1.25, 1.2288 2 2.48832, 2.4576, 2.666 3 9.95328, 9.8304, 10.709, 11.09 10.3125 Supported UNI STM-8 1G Ethernet Common public radio interface (CPRI) option 2 OC-48, STM-16 CPRI option 3 OTU1 OC-192, STM-64 CPRI option 7 OTU2, OTU2e 10G Ethernet 4 6.144 CPRI option 6, OBSAI FFS Reference table downstream/upstream Table A.2/Table A.3 Table A.4/Table A.5 Table A.6/Table A.7 A.1.2 FEC code selection The choice of FEC depends on the service protocol. For CPRI, no FEC is used. For 1 Gbit/s Ethernet services with 8b/10b coding, no FEC is used. Rec. ITU-T G.989.2 (12/2014) 45

For 10GBASE-ER Ethernet with 64b/66b coding, no FEC is used. For OC-48, OC-192, STM-8, STM-16 and STM-64, the inbuilt FEC according to [ITU-T G.707] and [ITU-T G.709] may be used. No extra FEC overhead is applied. For OTU1, OTU2, and OTU2e the inbuilt FEC as of [ITU-T G.709] may be applied. No extra FEC overhead is applied. A.1.3 Line code Line coding for PtP WDM PON is determined by the specific application. A.1.4 Operating wavelength PtP WDM PON spectrum is specified according to Table 9-1, subject to spectrum otherwise assigned or in use. Two wavelength bands for PtP WDM PON are specified: 1) Shared spectrum band: 1603-1625 nm Details of the sharing between TWDM PON and PtP WDM PON bands are specified in clause 9.2 2) Expanded spectrum band: 1524-1625 nm Spectral flexibility is required to allow reuse of unoccupied bands in other coexistence scenarios where legacy bands and TWDM PON bands are available. For the purpose of coexistence with G-PON, XG-PON1, RF video and four TWDM channels, a minimum of four PtP WDM channels is supported. Upstream and downstream can be in separate spectral regions or share the same spectral band. A.1.5 PMD parameters A.1.5.1 Compatible ODN PtP WDM PON operates over the same ODN as TWDM PON, see clause 11.1.4.1. A.1.5.2 Optical interface parameters for line rate class 1 The following optical interface parameter tables are applicable for up to 40 km fibre length and a minimum of four PtP WDM channels.

NOTE 2 ONT and OLT optical repeatability refers to multiple measurements taken when the true values of the ONT or OLT temperature and voltage are the same at the time of measurement. However, the normal range of those parameters is exercised in between tests as a means to gauge their aging effects. NOTE 3 The OLT's measurement reflects the average power received during a burst. This requires the OLT to perform the measurement at the proper time with respect to the incoming burst, and that the burst is long enough to support the response time of the detector. The deviation due to non-50% duty cycle in the upstream data pattern is not to be charged against the measurement accuracy or repeatability specifications. NOTE 4 Nominal refers to the design value of the quantity being measured (i.e., voltage or bias current) for the particular device implementation.

Transmitter bias current modifications Originally, this parameter only covered laser "health" by monitoring the bias current to the laser. However, for NG-PON2 the parameters by which transmitter "health" is monitored has to be expanded. Currently the expectation is that some NG-PON2 solutions will encompass both EMLs and SOAs, which need to be monitored as well. Rather than adding more registers, this standard changes the single existing register into a multi-parameter register, by using the two most significant bits to code 3 types of information, as shown in Table II.2.

Appendix III Allocation of the physical layer overhead time (This appendix does not form an integral part of this Recommendation.) (This appendix reference is only applicable for TWDM PON.) The Tplo is used to accommodate five physical processes in the PON. These are: laser on/off time, timing drift tolerance, level recovery, clock recovery, and start of burst delimitation. The exact division of the physical layer time to all these functions is determined partly by constraint equations, and partly by implementation choices. This appendix reviews the constraints that the OLT must comply with, and suggests values for the discretionary values. The Tplo can be divided into three sections with respect to what ONU data pattern is desired. For simplicity, these times can be referred to as the guard time (Tg), the preamble time (Tp) and the delimiter time (Td). During Tg, the ONU will transmit no more power than the nominal zero level. During Tp, the ONU will transmit a preamble pattern that provides the desired transition density and signal pattern for fast level and clock recovery functions. Lastly, during Td, the ONU will transmit a special data pattern with optimal autocorrelation properties that enable the OLT to find the beginning of the burst. An additional parameter of the control logic on the PON is the total peak-to-peak timing uncertainty (Tu). This uncertainty arises from variations of the time of flight caused by the fibre and component variations with temperature and other environmental factors. Figure III.1 shows the timing relationship between the various physical layer overhead times. Table III.2 gives recommended values for Tg, Tp, Td and Tplo. Figure III.1 Timing relationship between the various physical layer overhead times The constraint equations with which the OLT must comply are then: Tg Ton Tu,and Tg Toff Tu These equations can be explained as follows. The first equation makes sure that the following burst's laser on ramp-up does not fall on top of the last burst's data. The second equation makes sure that the last burst's laser off tail-off does not fall on top of the following burst's preamble. Tp must be sufficient for the physical layer to recover the signal level (essentially, setting the decision threshold) and the signal clock phase. There are many diverse design approaches to these two problems, each with its own benefits and costs. Some designs are very fast, but require an external trigger signal and produce sub-optimal error performance. Other designs are slower, but do not require a reset signal and produce bit errors that are normally distributed. In addition, each of these designs may have special requirements on the data pattern used for the preamble. Some designs prefer a maximum transition density pattern, while others prefer a pattern with a balance of transitions and controlled runs of identical digits. Rec. ITU-T G.989.2 (12/2014) 67

Since the design is up to the OLT implementer, the OLT configures the details of the preamble that is transmitted by the ONU. This is part of the burst profile discussion below. Td must be long enough to provide a robust delimiter function in the face of bit errors. The error resistance of the delimiter depends on the exact implementation of the pattern correlator, but a simple approximate relationship between the number of bits in the delimiter (N) and the number of bit errors tolerated (E) is: (III-1) Equation III-1 has been empirically verified by a numerical search of all delimiters of sizes ranging from 8 to 32 bits. This search was performed under the assumption that the preamble pattern was a "1010" repeating pattern, and that the delimiter had an equal number of zeroes and ones. The Hamming distance, D, of the best delimiter from all shifted patterns of itself and the preamble was found to be D = int(n/2) 1; yielding the error tolerance shown. Given a certain BER, the probability of a severely errored burst (Pseb) is given by: Substituting equation III-1 into equation III-2, the resultant Pseb is given by: (III-2) (III-3) If the BER equals 10 4, the resultant Pseb for various delimiter lengths, N, is given in Table III.1. Inspection of this table shows that, in order to effectively suppress this kind of error, the delimiter length must be at least 16 bits long. The choice of delimiter length and pattern is made by the OLT as part of the burst profile. Table III.1 Probability of a severely errored burst as a function of delimiter length N E int N / 4 1 N Pseb BER E 1 N Pseb BER int N / 4 Pseb 8 2.8 10 7 12 2.2 10 10 16 1.8 10 13 20 1.5 10 16 24 1.3 10 19 32 1.1 10 25 64 4.9 10 50 With these considerations taken into account, the worst case and objective allocations of the physical layer overhead are given in Table III.2. This table also lists the values for the ONU transmitter enable time and transmitter disable time, and the total physical layer overhead time for reference. The worstcase values are intended to provide a reasonable bound for easy implementation, and the objective values are intended to be the design target for more efficient implementation with optimized components. These values are for a simple ODN without reach extenders. Reach extenders may require their own guard and preamble time allowances, making the total overhead larger. E 1 int( N / 4) 68 Rec.

For example, detecting an ONU's ranging burst is a more difficult problem than receiving an ONU's regular transmission. For another example, some ONUs may have higher power and are easier to detect, and therefore do not need FEC. For these reasons, the OLT may request different burst parameters depending on the context. The concept of a burst profile captures all the aspects of burst overhead control. A burst profile specifies the preamble pattern and length, the delimiter pattern and length, and whether FEC parity is sent. The OLT establishes one or more burst profiles, and then requests a particular burst profile for each burst transmission. The OLT has considerable latitude in setting up the profiles, because the OLT's burst receiver is sensitive to the profile parameters. Therefore, the OLT uses profiles that ensure adequate response in its burst mode receiver. However, some basic requirements from the ONU side must be met. Namely, the preamble and delimiter patterns are balanced and they have a reasonable transition density. If not, the ONU transmitter driver circuitry may be adversely affected. Also note that the preamble and delimiter patterns could differ in each profile, and this difference could be used by the OLT receiver as an in-band indication of the format of each burst (e.g., FEC active or not). The details of distributing the burst profiles and signalling their use will be described in the transmission convergence layer specification of the ITU-T G.989 series of Recommendations. (bit) Rec.

Appendix VI Nonlinear Raman interactions in optical fibres and mitigation technologies for coexistence of multiple PONs (This appendix does not form an integral part of this Recommendation.) This appendix provides background information on the issues related to operating multiple PON systems on the same fibre, specifically analysis of non-linearities and optical safety. Consideration is given to G-PON (as defined in [ITU-T G.984.2]), XG-PON1 (as defined in [ITU-T G.987.2]) and the NG-PON2 systems defined in this Recommendation. Additionally consideration is also given to RF video overlay. Nonlinear Raman interaction, i.e., stimulated Raman scattering (SRS), between optical waves propagating in a fibre is a well-known physical phenomenon that can give rise to two major undesirable effects: modulation crosstalk between the signals and power depletion of the signals at shorter wavelengths. The Raman gain spectrum in silica fibre extends to about 50 THz and the effects may be detectable between signals separated by as little as 1 THz or as much as 40 THz, as indicated in the Raman gain curve of Figure VI.1 for [ITU-T G.652] type of fibre. Figure VI.1 Raman gain curve example for ITU-T G.652 type of fibre When modulation crosstalk occurs, modulation components of one optical signal are superimposed on another optical signal at a different wavelength, which can substantially impact the information being transmitted. Modulation crosstalk due to Raman interactions only occur between co-propagating optical signals. When optical power depletion occurs, signals at shorter wavelengths act as pump sources, i.e., experience power depletion, that amplify signals at longer wavelengths. If the optical power depletion is substantial, the quality of the transmitted information may suffer or the optical link reach may be impacted. Optical power depletion can occur in either co-propagating or counter-propagating waves in the fibre. Mitigation techniques for nonlinear Raman interactions in optical fibres Although SRS is an unavoidable natural phenomenon, steps can be taken to minimize its negative impacts on a multi-wavelength optical communication system. Most obvious amongst these is the prudent selection of system wavelengths, optical launch powers, and modulation formats. However, the choice of these parameters must be balanced so that other system performance requirements can be achieved as well. A number of SRS mitigation schemes have been proposed to alleviate performance impairments due to design constraints that would result in significant SRS impacts. The 72 Rec. ITU-T G.989.2 (12/2014)

suggested SRS mitigation schemes include: high pass RF filtering, zero composite degree of polarization (DoP) interferer launch, dedicated transmitter, and PSD shaping. High pass RF filtering of data signals prior to transmission (HighPassRF). The Raman crosstalk on a video RF optical carrier is primarily concerned with the lower frequency band of the RF spectrum of the TV channels. It has been proposed that the high pass filtering of the data modulation will greatly reduce the impairment caused by the SRS crosstalk while maintaining the data integrity (e.g., for a 9.95328 Gbit/s signal, attenuating the modulation spectrum below 200 MHz) With this technique, the significant attenuation of the low frequency components from the offending interferers' modulation spectra, prior to optical transmission, will reduce the RF modulation crosstalk problem and up to a 12 db reduction in Raman crosstalk might be achievable. Figure VI.2 illustrates the HighPassRF scheme. Figure VI.2 HighPassRF Raman crosstalk suppression scheme utilizing RF high-pass filtering of the data modulation Zero composite DoP interferer launch (DoP0): By arranging the polarization states of the SRS interferer signals so that their weighted Stokes vectors add to zero, one creates a statistical mixture of states (signals) whose composite DoP is also zero. This statistical mixture as a whole appears to any other signal that interacts with it to be un-polarized. The zero composite DoP state also happens to be the state of maximum entropy insofar as polarization is concerned. Therefore, except for some incidental variations due to the optical fibre's polarization mode dispersion, the composite DoP of the mixture will remain very close to zero as the mixture of interferer signals propagates through any span of optical fibre. Hence, the length averaged polarization overlap probability between the mixture of interferers with any other signal, such as the RF video overlay carrier, will remain very close to 0.5 for any fibre span. This implies that, as compared to the highly unlikely case of all the interferer signals being launched in parallel to one another (DoP =1) and also to the RF video overlay signal (so that the polarization overlap probability is 1.0), the level of SRS crosstalk is 6 db lower. Then, because of the 2:1 electrical to optical db relationship, 3 db more optical power could potentially be launched into the fibre for the zero composite DoP case as compared to the parallel launch 1.0 DoP case. Alternating the polarization states between two orthogonal states is one way of achieving a net weighted Stokes vector of zero. Another way is to arrange the polarization states so that the angle between consecutive Stokes vectors is 360/n, where n is the number of interferers in the mixture (this assumes equal weights for the interferers). Figure VI.3 shows the DoP0 scheme. Rec. ITU-T G.989.2 (12/2014) 73

Figure VI.3 DoP0 Raman crosstalk suppression scheme utilizing alternating orthogonal polarization states to create a mixed state with a composite degree of polarization equal to zero The DoP0 scheme is useful for mitigating downstream coexisting system impacts (GPON, XG-PON1, RF video overlay, etc.). When utilized, the OLT laser and WM devices are polarization controlled. In the non-integrated case, the laser is 0 degree aligned to the connector alignment pin, and the WM inputs are orthogonally aligned such that channel one is 0 degrees, channel two and channel three are 90 degrees, and then alternating thereafter every two channels. Additionally, polarization maintaining fibres must be used between the OLT transmitter and WM. Dedicated Raman crosstalk mitigation optical transmitter (DedicatedTx): The basic scheme includes the addition to the existing system of a dedicated optical transmitter along with some passive elements at the OLT. The modulation on this dedicated Raman crosstalk suppression transmitter is appropriately prepared by the selection of its wavelength and launch power, and is also electrically modulated with properly polarized composite, yet bandwidth limited (e.g., 100 MHz for a 9.95328 Gbit/s data modulation) reproductions of the offending baseband digital modulation signals. This greatly simplifies the design of the composite modulation conditioning circuitry and also reduces the cost of the equalizer laser transmitter. The system utilizes destructive interference between the individual interferer transmitters' modulations and the terms of the composite modulation imparted upon the equalizer laser transmitter. This will effectively cancel the deleterious Raman crosstalk noise and restore the integrity of the transmitted video information. The proposed solution thereby allows for the coexistence of an optical carrier transporting television channels with co-propagating optical signals that are modulated with baseband digital traffic on the same optical distribution network. Utilizing the Raman crosstalk mitigation technology described here, the video carrier-to-raman crosstalk ratio (CCR) can potentially be improved by 12 up to 14 db at the low end of the RF frequency spectrum where the impact of this effect is most damaging. This system is equally effective at cancelling out the Raman crosstalk noise of incoherent or coherently related interferers. Figure VI.4 shows the DedicatedTx scheme. 74 Rec. ITU-T G.989.2 (12/2014)

Figure VI.4 DedicatedTx Raman crosstalk cancellation scheme utilizing a dedicated crosstalk mitigation transmitter Power spectral density shaping (PSD-S): The principle of this technique is to mitigate or avoid PSD overlapping between legacy binary PON signal (scrambled NRZ coding) and RF video overlay signal, by means of implementing flexible digital signalling processing (DSP) functions. DSP here is understood as a general purpose mechanism for information and symbol processing designated to perform spectrum shaping by appropriate pulse shaping, data rate [b-kim], line code [b-al-qazwini], or modulation schemes. Figure VI.5 shows the impact of these factors on the SRS crosstalk. Figure VI.5 assumes 0 dbm at the receiver. Frequencies up to 300 MHz are the ones more directly affecting the crosstalk in systems with 10 to 20 km reach. The pulse repetition rate, related to the data rate, affects the PSD directly influencing the average power and introducing a set of dips in the power spectrum. The first frequency dips usually appear at frequencies related to the data rate. For NRZ, the dips appear at the baud rate frequency, for example, 2.5 Gbaud/s has the first dip at 2.5 GHz. Higher data rates for the same pulse shaping will result in lower PSDs at the lower frequencies and the appearance of the first dip at higher frequencies. Line coding can be also used to reshape the spectrum and further change the operational margins as what relates RF video overlay crosstalk. However, this solution usually requires an overhead which will result in bandwidth efficiency loss. When designing a system where RF video overlay coexistence is required, the potential impacts of all the above mentioned parameters need to be considered and the required margins may need to be recalculated. With tighter spectral control (done by a window function) and up-conversion (done by shifting the digital baseband signal to an upper spectrum location), the use of spectrum shaping therefore would enable a clearly separated and isolated signal spectrum that does not overlap with the spectral interference region of the RF signal, thus mitigating co-propagation Raman crosstalk effects in coexistence scenarios. Rec. ITU-T G.989.2 (12/2014) 75

In best practice, the DSP functions used for spectrum shaping can be integrated into current TWDM PON architecture by merging DSP logic into the transmission convergence adaptation sublayer (as shown in Figure VI.6). The DSP logic can be programmable and can be enabled or disabled for backward compatibility with NRZ coding. Moreover, the optics for TWDM PON can also be reused with proper optimization to accommodate such spectrum shaping. Since DSP functions can be flexibly selected and software-defined, many other non-nrz coding schemes and digital filtering functions can also be supported in this architecture, leading to different levels of performance for particular applications.

Appendix VII Cyclic AWG channel grid design examples (This appendix does not form an integral part of this Recommendation.) This appendix provides examples of the NG-PON2 cyclic AWG channel grid design. It lists the channel grids of the TWDM PON downstream (1596 nm to 1603 nm), TWDM PON upstream (1524 nm to 1544 nm), and PtP WDM PON (1603 nm to 1625 nm). Values in this appendix are derived assuming certain device fabrication process parameters. Other values can be derived for different fabrication process parameters.

In applications using cyclic AWGs, the channels #n of all orders are assigned to the same demultiplex port of the AWG.

Appendix VIII Wavelength multiplexer, upstream inter-channel crosstalk, ONU transmitter tuning time considerations, and upstream channel grid example (This appendix does not form an integral part of this Recommendation.) This appendix provides example information on the WM characteristics, upstream inter-channel crosstalk and its penalty related to the isolation specification of the WM device, along with ONU transmitter tuning time. VIII.1 Wavelength multiplexer Table VIII.1 provides example values for the WM device. Isolation values may vary depending on the number of wavelength channels considered, the example given in Table VIII.1 is for an eight channel case. Critical to the proper definition of WM passband, consideration must be given to the maximum tuning error (MTE) of the associated laser. MTE is the maximum spectral error allowed due to tuning. MTE is the maximum differential spectral distance of the actual wavelength to the nominal centre of the wavelength channel. Specifically the relationship between MTE and MSE is shown in Figure VIII.1 and can be represented as a formula: MTE = MSE (minimum single-sided spectral width at 15 db) MSE (data rate in Hz) Figure VIII.1 Relationship between MTE and MSE 84 Rec. ITU-T G.989.2 (12/2014)

Table VIII.1 WM characteristics Specification Condition Value Loss without connectors (Note) Isolation S/R-CPn to S/R-CG S/R-CG to any S/R-CPn (only applies to upstream ports) < 2.0 db (Low) < 4.0 db (High) FFS Maximum optical power Any individual port +23 dbm Return loss Any port > 50 db Directivity Any S/R-CPn to any S/R-CPn > 50 db NOTE This is the loss without connectors when an ONU tunes to the peak wavelength ±MTE. When an ONU tunes around to maintain lock, it requires an amount of loss budget for the tuning process (which depends on the RSSI). NOTE The optical parameter tables are specified at the S/R-CG & R/S points, as illustrated by Figure 6-1. In order to determine optical level at the S/R-CP point, the loss of WM must be taken into account. Table VIII.1 specifies two classes of loss for the WM, resulting in two different values. OLT transceivers indicate the compatible WM loss class (low or high). WM loss classes are likely to be technology based (e.g., AWG versus thin film filter). The following requirements apply to each operating channel of the OLT receive filter (WM): 1) The (1+X) db filter bandwidth 4 must be smaller than 2 MTE, where X is the transmitter power wavelength dependency. 2) The shape of the filter characteristic must be monotonically decreasing (apart from a limited ripple as specified below), on each side with respect to the filter minimum loss point, in the region delimited by the intersections with the adjacent channel filter responses extended by twice the MTE 5, as shown in Figure VIII.3. 3) The value of any residual ripple in the monotonic region specified above must be less than the OLT receive power measurement resolution. Requirement 1 guarantees that any unacceptable (i.e., exceeding the MTE) deviation of the ONU transmitter wavelength, with respect to the filter minimum loss point (nominally the channel centre), can always be revealed at the OLT receiver. Requirement 2 guarantees that the wavelength locking and tracking mechanism operation makes the ONU transmitter wavelength always move towards the filter minimum loss point (nominally the channel centre). Requirement 3 guarantees that any residual ripple on the receive filter shape causes power variations which are practically unmeasurable at the OLT receiver, hence that it cannot adversely affect the operation of the wavelength locking and tracking mechanism. Note that the maximum loss due to imperfect tuning (i.e., when the ONU locks at a distance equal to MTE away from the channel centre) coincides with the OLT receiver power measurements repeatability (total of 1dB, according to Table VIII.2). In practice, however, the tuning error and tuning loss could be reduced by averaging the OLT receive power measurements. 4 Or, equivalently, the incremental loss caused by any wavelength deviation from the nominal channel wavelength greater than MTE must be greater than the OLT receive power measurement repeatability, which equals 0.5 db (see Table VIII.2), plus the ONU power variation, which equals the transmitter power wavelength dependency. 5 This would require the additional specification of the ONU laser 15 db spectral width; alternatively, MTE could be conservatively replaced here by MSE.

Because of architectural asymmetry, ONUs can be located at different remote locations to have large differential optical path loss in the upstream direction, whereas NG-PON2 OLT ports are located near to each other to have no differential optical path loss in the downstream direction. The maximum differential optical path loss (dmax) is specified as 15 db as in Table 11-4. In this situation, the multichannel signal power spectrum at the S/R-CG point in front of WM device in the central office and the multichannel signal power spectrum at R/S point in front of each ONU can have quite different channel power differences as illustrated in Figure VIII.5. Figure VIII.5 Signal power spectrum (a) at S/R-CG point and (b) at R/s point According to Table 11-4, the difference between the mean launch power maximum and the mean launch power minimum of the OLT transmitter for the downstream direction ( POLT) is 4 db. Considering typical 1.5 db uniformity specification of the WM device (UniformityWM), the maximum power difference among the downstream signals at the R/S point in front of ONU can be as high as 5.5 db. However, in the upstream direction, the maximum differential optical path loss (dmax) 15 db can be added to the difference between the mean launch power maximum and the mean launch power minimum of the ONU transmitter ( PONU) 5 db (per Table 11-5). And the maximum power difference among the upstream signals at the S/R-CG point in front of WM device can be as high as 20 db. Since the upstream signal power difference at S/R-CG point in front of WM device can be much higher (14.5 db higher) than the downstream signal power difference at R/S point in front of ONU, care must be taken when designing the WM device regarding the isolation specification in order to reduce the inter-channel crosstalk and its penalty. VIII.2.1 Worst-case design approach The upstream inter-channel crosstalk (Cc) in worst-case design approach can be calculated using the following equation [b-itu-t G.Sup39]: Cc P ONU d MAX I A I NA 10 10 10log 2 10 ( N 3) 10 10 db, (VIII-1) where IA and INA are the adjacent channel isolation and the non-adjacent channel isolation of the WM device, respectively, N is total number of channels. And with Gaussian approximation the interchannel crosstalk penalty (Pc) can be calculated using the following equation [b-itu-t G.Sup39]: æ 102Cc 10 æ ER +1ö 2 ö Pc = -5log 1- N -1 Q2 ç ç è ER -1ø (VIII-2) è ø 1 Q 2erfc 2 BER. where For a upstream BER of 10-4 as specified in Table 11-6, Q = 3.72. The induced optical penalty is plotted against inter-channel crosstalk for the cases of total number of channel N = 4 and N =8 in Figure VIII-6. Rec. ITU-T G.989.2 (12/2014) 87

Figure VIII.6 Optical penalty against inter-channel crosstalk for N = 4 and N = 8 The calculated inter-channel crosstalk values and its penalties are summarized in Table VIII-2 for four channel systems and eight channel systems, with WM device examples of commercially available typical AWG, filter having tight isolation specification, and cascaded filter.

VIII.2.2 Statistical design approach For the statistical design approach, the Monte Carlo simulation method is used to calculate the interchannel crosstalk. The mean launch power of the ONU transmitter is assumed to have uniform random distribution with values varying from 4 dbm to 9 dbm (as per Table 11-6). The differential optical path loss is also assumed to have a uniform random distribution with values varying from 0 db to 15 db (as per Table 6-1). The inter-channel crosstalk probabilities calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation for the same WM device examples as in clause VIII.2.1 are illustrated in Figure VIII.7. 88 Rec. ITU-T G.989.2 (12/2014)

Figure VIII.7 Monte Carlo simulation for the probability of inter-channel crosstalk for the cases (a) four channel system and (b) eight channel system The calculated inter-channel crosstalk values and its penalties in case of statistical design approach are summarized in Table VIII.3 for four channel systems and eight channel systems, with WM device examples of commercially available typical AWG, filter having tight isolation specification, and cascaded filter. Here, probability threshold for system acceptance 0.3% is used to calculate the interchannel crosstalk values and equation VIII-2 is used to calculate the penalties. Table VIII.3 Calculated inter-channel crosstalk and its penalty in statistical design approach Typical AWG Filter with tight spec. Cascaded filter Statistical design approach I A = 23 db, I NA = 30 db I A = 26 db, I NA = 33 db I A = 32 db, I NA = 36 db 4 channel system 8 channel system Cc (db) 5 8 13.5 Pc (db) 4.1 0.5 0 Cc (db) 4 7 12 Pc (db) 1.9 0.3 0 Even in statistical design approach, a typical AWG cannot be used because of excessive inter-channel crosstalk. The WM device needs to be implemented using a filter with high isolation specifications in order for the TWDM PON to have reasonably bounded optical penalty 0.5 db. VIII.2.3 Method to limit the inter-channel crosstalk impairment There could be two approaches to limit the inter-channel crosstalk impairment. One is to make the WM isolations high enough with given received signal power dynamic range in front of the WM device, either with worst-case design or with statistical design. The other is additionally to reduce the received signal power dynamic range ( PCG) in front of the WM device by controlling ONU transmitter signal power depending on ODN insertion loss. There are also two different specification methods to limit the inter-channel crosstalk impairment. One is to specify the adjacent channel isolation (IA) and the non-adjacent channel isolation (INA) of Rec. ITU-T G.989.2 (12/2014) 89

the WM device between S/R-CG point and S/R-CPn point. The other is to specify the inter-channel crosstalk (Cc) at S/R-CPn point. Based on the calculation results in the previous clause, Table VIII.4 shows example methods and specifications to limit the inter-channel crosstalk penalty as 0.5 db or below. Specification method parameter Table VIII.4 Example methods and specifications to give 0.5 db inter-channel crosstalk penalty Specifying the WM isolations only Worst-case design Statistical design Specifying the WM isolations and received signal power dynamic range Worst-case design Specifying interchannel crosstalk I A, minimum 32 26 23 NA I NA, minimum 36 33 30 NA P CG, maximum NA NA 11 NA Cc, maximum NA NA NA 8 VIII.3 ONU transmitter tuning time The ONU transmitter wavelength channel tuning time may be measured using the procedure and test set-up below. The purpose of the test set-up is to measure the tuning time unambiguously. The tuning of the laser is illustrated below in Figure VIII.8. Figure VIII.8 Illustration of laser tuning across the operating band The tuning time as shown in the illustration does not begin when the laser begins to tune but when the laser exits the passband of the origin wavelength channel, i.e., when the optical power drops of 0.5 db compared to the initial value, after a channel change signal in the form required by the tunable device. The tuning time ends when the laser enters the passband of the destination wavelength channel, i.e., when the optical power, in the destination wavelength channel, reaches and stays within 0.5 db of the initial (origin channel) value. The transmitter wavelength channel tuning time is computed over all possible channel changes in the tuning range. A reference channel demultiplexer is used in the test set-up. It is required that the laser power variation during the channel change and the attenuation uniformity between channels of the reference channel demultiplexer are each below 0.25 db. 90 Rec. ITU-T G.989.2 (12/2014)

The test set-up is shown in Figure VIII.9, while Figure VIII.10 illustrates how the tuning time parameter is measured. Figure VIII.9 Test set-up for tuning time of ONU transmitter Figure VIII.10 Optical power vs. time from summation of waveform monitors The test set up attenuator is set such that the optical received power at the O/E converters is in range that is not close to receiver overload and the signal is high enough to be accurately measured. The laser is initially tuned to within 0.1 db of the minimum loss point of the filter. A threshold is set at 0.5 db below the resulting initial power measurement. The crossing of this threshold will be used to determine the points where the tuning time begins and when the tuning time ends, i.e., the signal stays above the threshold. The optical power levels are converted and measured at the output of the summation box in the electrical domain. Note that the same test procedure can be applied even when the transmitter module is integrated in a system and the channel change command is issued via higher layers, e.g., CLI or EMS. However it must be understood that other effects may influence the measurement in this case, for example, the transmitter may be switched off before tuning initiates and switched on again when tuning finishes. Hence the test procedure can be applied e.g., to compare the tuning time of different ONUs, excluding command transmission and processing delays, but the tuning time of the optical module itself is measured when the optical module is not part of a system and the channel change is commanded via the specific signal required by the optical module. The reference test demultiplexer is Gaussian in shape and have a relative loss of 0.5 db at 8 GHz from the minimum loss point. Rec. ITU-T G.989.2 (12/2014) 91

Appendix IX Alternative line code for Raman mitigation (This appendix does not form an integral part of this Recommendation.) This appendix provides examples of NG-PON2 Raman mitigation coding schemes when using RF video overlay. Two example schemes are provided, an 8B10B scheme, and a Miller code scheme, both defined in this appendix. These codes will have to be compatible with the optical devices conforming to the NRZ based values shown in Table 11-4 and Table 11-5. As described in their respective sections, each scheme uses a different approach to effect the mitigation. The advantage of 8B10B code is that it adds functionality into the media access control (MAC) layer, that is able to be turned on or off per the application. The advantage of Miller code is that it is contained inside the optical modules, thereby providing a standard NRZ based signal to the MAC. Each code provides different mitigation levels and potentially optical budget performance, so selection of either code can be application dependent. IX.1 8B10B Scheme For Raman mitigation, the 8B10B sublayer is introduced between the downstream NG-PON2 physical interface (PHY) adaption interface and the optical interfaces. 8B10B is a DC balanced encoding scheme introduced by Widmer-Franaszek in 1984. The transmission codes are further specified in [b-ieee 802.3], clause 36.2.4 and are identical to ANSI [b-ansi 230-1994] (FC-PH), clause 11. The NG-PON2 8B10B sublayer uses all the code-groups of Table 36-1 of [b-ieee 802.3] and uses only the K28.5 code-group specified in Table 36-2 of [b-ieee 802.3]. The 8B10B sublayer is independent of all other NG-PON2 MAC functions. IX.1.1 Power spectral density of 8B10B code Figure IX.1 presents simulated results of the PSD of traditional NRZ at 10 Gbit/s and the ANSI 8B10B code at 12.5 Gbit/s.

IX.1.2 Encode and decode operations IX.1.2.1 OLT encode For the OLT, the 8B10B sublayer is responsible for encoding and performs the following encoding operations For the first octet of the downstream physical synchronization block (PSBd) physical synchronization sequence (PSync) field (0xC5) the special code-group K28.5 is chosen from Table 36-2 of [b-ieee 802.3]. Once the code-group is selected, the current value of the transmitter's running disparity is used to select the code-group from its corresponding column. For each code-group transmitted, a new value of the running disparity is calculated. This new value is used as the transmitter's current running disparity for the next octet to be encoded and transmitted. With the exception of the first octet of the PSBd PSync field (0xC5), valid code-groups are selected using the NG-PON2 PMD octets as indexes into Table 36-1 of [b-ieee 802.3]. Once the code-group is selected, the current value of the transmitter's running disparity is used to select the code-group from its corresponding column. For each code-group transmitted, a new value of the running disparity is calculated. This new value is used as the transmitter's current running disparity for the next octet to be encoded and transmitted. IX.1.2.2 ONU decode For the ONU, the 8B10B sublayer is responsible for decoding and performs the following operations Syncs to the K28.5 character code-group: Synchronization is performed using the receiver state description of [b-ansi 230-1994] (FC-PH), clause 12.1. Replace the octet associated with the K28.5 croup with the original PSync PSBd value of 0xC5, Replace the octet associated with received the data code-group with the associated octet. IX.1.2.3 Running disparity rules After powering on or exiting a test mode, the transmitter assumes the negative value for its initial running disparity. Upon transmission of any code-group, the transmitter calculates a new value for its running disparity based on the contents of the transmitted code-group. After powering on or exiting a test mode, the receiver assumes either the positive or negative value for its initial running disparity. Upon the reception of any code-group, the receiver determines whether the code-group is valid or invalid and calculates a new value for its running disparity based on the contents of the received code-group. The following rules for running disparity are used to calculate the new running disparity value for code-groups that have been transmitted (transmitter's running disparity) and that have been received (receiver's running disparity). Running disparity for a code-group is calculated on the basis of sub-blocks, where the first six bits (abcdei) form one sub-block (six-bit sub-block) and the second four bits (fghj) form the other sub-block (four-bit sub- block). Running disparity at the beginning of the six-bit sub-block is the running disparity at the end of the last code-group. Running disparity at the beginning of the four-bit sub-block is the running disparity at the end of the six-bit sub-block. Running disparity at the end of the code-group is the running disparity at the end of the four-bit sub-block. Running disparity for the sub-blocks is calculated as follows: Running disparity at the end of any sub-block is positive if the sub-block contains more ones than zeros. It is also positive at the end of the six-bit sub-block if the six-bit sub-block is 000111, and it is positive at the end of the four-bit sub-block if the four-bit sub-block is 0011. Running disparity at the end of any sub-block is negative if the sub-block contains more zeros than ones. It is also negative at the end of the six-bit sub-block if the six-bit sub-block 94 Rec. ITU-T G.989.2 (12/2014)

is 111000, and it is negative at the end of the four-bit sub-block if the four-bit sub-block is 1100. Otherwise, running disparity at the end of the sub-block is the same as at the beginning of the sub-block. NOTE All sub-blocks with equal numbers of zeros and ones are disparity neutral. In order to limit the run length of 0's or 1's between sub-blocks, the 8B/10B transmission code rules specify that sub-blocks encoded as 000111 or 0011 are generated only when the running disparity at the beginning of the sub-block is positive; thus, running disparity at the end of these sub-blocks is also positive. Likewise, sub-blocks containing 111000 or 1100 are generated only when the running disparity at the beginning of the sub-block is negative; thus, running disparity at the end of these sub-blocks is also negative. IX.1.2.4 Checking the validity of received code-groups The following rules are used to determine the validity of received code-groups: The column in Tables 36-1 and 36-2 of [b-ieee 802.3] corresponding to the current value of the receiver's running disparity is searched for the received code-group. If the received code-group is found in the proper column, according to the current running disparity, then the code-group is considered valid and, for data code-groups, the associated data octet determined (decoded). If the received code-group is not found in that column, then the code-group is considered invalid. Independent of the code-group's validity, the received code-group is used to calculate a new value of running disparity. The new value is used as the receiver's current running disparity for the next received code-group. Detection of an invalid code-group does not necessarily indicate that the code-group in which the invalid code-group was detected is in error. Invalid code-groups may result from a prior error which altered the running disparity of the PHY bit stream but which did not result in a detectable error at the code-group in which the error occurred. The number of invalid code-groups detected is proportional to the BER of the link. Optical link error monitoring may be performed by counting invalid code-groups. IX.1.3 Eye mask and PMD The eye mask of the OLT transmitter when encoded with the 8B10B code is the same as Figure 11-3. However, there are potential direct impacts to the PMD parameters of ER and receiver sensitivity when using 8B10B at 12.5 Gbit/s with 10 Gbit/s compliant transceiver components. In addition to direct impacts of the reduction in ER, there are indirect impacts on other parameters that are ER dependent e.g., in-band crosstalk penalty. The impact on effective ONU receiver sensitivity are not specified but must be accounted for in equipment applying the 8B10B technique. As allowed by Note 3 in the downstream PMD Tables 11-4 and 11-5, this impact can be compensated for with an appropriate increase in minimum mean channel launch power of the OLT transmitter. IX.2 Miller & Miller squared scheme Miller code (also called delay modulation, or modified frequency modulation) is a run length limited code where at least two and at most four consecutive like symbols may occur in the transmitted sequence. More specifically, in Miller code, a bit 1 is represented by a transition at the middle of the bit period, and there is no transition for bit 0 unless it is followed by another bit 0, in which case there is a transition at the end of the first bit 0. Based on Miller code, Miller squared code (also called Miller-Miller code, or M 2 code) was developed to provide DC balance. Miller squared code adopts all the Miller code rules and adds one addition rule that when an even number of bit 0's occurs between bit 0's, the transition for the last bit 1 is suppressed. Encoding and decoding of Miller and Miller Rec. ITU-T G.989.2 (12/2014) 95

squared codes can be easily implemented with synchronous logic circuit. Figure IX.2 shows an example of coding binary data into Miller code. These codes (Miller and Miller squared) provide good timing content and reduced bandwidth compared to NRZ code. In addition, the PSD at low frequencies is relatively low with the potential for Raman crosstalk mitigation. IX.2.1 Modified definitions for Miller code IX.2.1.1 Minimum extinction ratio Figure IX.2 Miller code With respect to a Miller code signal generated by an optical transmitter, the ER is defined as the average optical power level at the centre of the high level (A) to the average optical power level at the centre of the low level (B): ER = 10 log10 (A/B) Note that the high and low levels in Miller code are simply the corresponding optical signal levels, and the Miller code specifies how to map the optical signal into its data signal. IX.2.1.2 Launch optical power without input to the transmitter In the upstream direction, the ONU transmitter ideally launches no power into the fibre in all bursts which are not assigned to that ONU. However, an optical power level less than or equal to the WNE- PSD is allowed during bursts which are not assigned to that ONU. During the transmitter Enable bit period immediately preceding the assigned burst, which may be used for laser pre-bias, and during the bit period immediately following the disable of the TxEnable signal, the maximum launch power level allowed is the low level. Figure IX.3 Test set-up for mask of the eye diagram for ONU transmitter IX.2.2 Power spectral density of Miller code Miller coding scheme can be modeled as a Markov source with four states with equal stationary state probability. Based on the state transition matrix and the autocorrelation for the Miller code, its PSD can be found as: 2 S( ) 2 T[17 8cos 4 T ] [23 2cos T 12cos 5 T 2 22cos T 12cos 3 T 2 2cos3 T 8cos7 T 2 5cos 2 T 2 2cos 4 T ], where is the angular frequency and T is the bit period. Figure IX.4 shows the PSDs of the NRZ and Miller line codes. Compared to NRZ modulation, Miller code has a narrower bandwidth and reduced 96 Rec. ITU-T G.989.2 (12/2014)

energy content at low frequencies. These are the desired properties for TWDM PONs. With reduced energy at low frequencies, Miller code can mitigate the Raman crosstalk of the TWDM PON signals onto the RF video overlay. With narrower bandwidth, Miller code can also reduce the fibre dispersion penalty. Hence, a DML, instead of an EML (electro-absorption modulated laser), can be used at 9.95328 Gbit/s for TWDM PON downstream transmission in the L-band or upstream transmission in the C band. Figure IX.4 Power spectral density of NRZ and Miller codes IX.2.3 Encode and decode operations Even though encoding and decoding of Miller and Miller squared codes can be easily implemented with synchronous logic circuit, there exists a potential time/phase ambiguity in the reception and decoding of Miller coded waveform. For example, as shown in Figure IX.2, with a clock phase shift of 180 degree, consecutive 1 bits will be decoded as consecutive 0 bits, or vice versa. The only unambiguous pattern is the 101 bit combination. Under the wrong phase shift of 180 degree, the waveform appears to be two consecutive 0 bits without a transition between them. This is a code violation, and it can be used to correct 180-degree phase alignment error. Alternatively, phase alignment error can be detected by counting the number of transition edges or using parity check. According to the coding rule, there is always a transition in the middle of 1 bit, while at the bit boundaries, transition only happens between two consecutive 0 bits. Hence, for random data, the transition density in the middle of the bits is twice the transition density at the bit boundaries. In addition to looking for transition density, the parity between 0 and 1 can also be used for phase alignment. As a transition in the middle of the bit period is decoded as 1 bit, while no transition in the middle of the bit period is decoded as 0 bit. If the alignment is out of phase by 180 degree, the transition density in the middle of the bit period, for random data, is reduced to a half of that with correct phase alignment. In other words, the number of decoded 1 bits will be half of the decoded 0 bits. In addition to look at bit pattern and transition density, fixed data pattern in the PON protocol, such as the PSync in the downstream and the preamble in upstream, can be used for phase alignment. For example, the downstream PSync pattern is 0xC5E5 1840 FD59 BB49 in XG-PON1. With 180-degree phase alignment error at the receiver, the 101 patterns in the PSync appear to be coding violations, and the decoded PSync field becomes a wrong pattern. With 180 degree phase alignment error at the receiver for upstream, code violations appear for the commonly used 1010 pattern. To maximize the number of transitions in Miller code waveform, 0000 or 1111 preamble in upstream is preferred. Rec. ITU-T G.989.2 (12/2014) 97

In this case, the OLT receiver with 180 degree phase alignment error will decode the 0000 preamble as 1111, and the 1111 preamble as 0000. Figure IX.5 Optical transceiver for NRZ and Miller codes Since the Miller code is a binary code and its bandwidth is narrower than the NRZ code, conventional transmitter and receiver front end circuits commonly used in NRZ transceivers can be reused for Miller code. Therefore, it is possible to design a transceiver that can transmit and receive both NRZ and Miller coded signals, as shown in Figure IX.5. The transceiver will use the same analogue front end (i.e., laser driver at the transmitter side, transimpedance amplifier and limiting amplifier at the receiver side) for both NRZ and delay modulation signals. At the transmitter side, a line code select signal will switch the Miller encoder in and out of the signal path. The line code select signal comes from the line card to set the line code to be used in the system. At the receiver side, a line code detection signal will switch the received signal either to the clock and data recovery (CDR) circuit for NRZ code or decoder for Miller code. The line code detection circuit can be implemented in a number of approaches with the same logic function. It is up to the implementer to choose it. The line code detection circuit could have two filters; one lowpass filter passes frequencies from DC to 0.2/T, and the other bandpass filter passes frequencies from 0.4/T to 0.6/T, where T is the bit period. A comparator will compare the power measured after these two filters. If the power after the bandpass filter is much larger than the power after the lowpass filter, Miller code is selected. The line code detection circuit will count the maximum number of identical and consecutive symbols. If the maximum number of identical and consecutive symbols is significantly larger than four, the line code is determined to be NRZ. The line code detection circuit will look at the duration between two transitions. If there exists a large number of occurrences that the duration between two transitions is one and a half bit period, the line code is determined to be Miller code. The transceiver will decode the received signal as NRZ and Miller code, and then the line code detection circuit will select the correct line code based on which code leads to correct data in the protocol specific pattern (e.g., PSync in the downstream or the preamble in the upstream). The transceiver will decode the received signal as NRZ and Miller code, and then send both decoded data to FEC (feedforward correction). The line code selection circuit will select the line code that produces the least number of error bits from FEC. This approach requires FEC block before the line code can be selection. However, implementing a FEC circuit inside optical transceiver is not a common practice, so this approach is less suitable for dual line code transceivers. 98 Rec. ITU-T G.989.2 (12/2014)

Using such a transceiver with NRZ and Miller line codes, the interface between the transceiver and TWDM PON MAC remains the conventional NRZ code. Hence, MAC layer can remain untouched regardless of the line code used in the system, but TWDM PON system becomes adaptive to the deployment scenarios. If the TWDM PON system coexists with RF video overlay service, Miller code can be used to mitigate the Raman crosstalk. If there is no RF video overlay service, either NRZ or Miller code can be used. With Miller code, any violation in the received line code could indicate an error bit. As the locations of the error bits are known based on line code violation, this information can be used for error detection or correction. For example, it can improve the performance of FEC. In this case, the transceiver can be designed to detect code violation and report the error bits to the FEC. IX.2.4 Eye mask Figure IX.6 presents the eye mask of the OLT transmitter when encoded with the Miller code. The values are X = 0.15, Y = 0.25. IX.3 Raman mitigation suppression levels Figure IX.6 Miller encoded eye mask Table IX.1 provides an example of required Raman mitigation for class N2 and the specified number of wavelengths. The numbers are based on a typical operator RF video overlay scheme, with the following assumptions: a polarization overlap factor of 0.6; 256-quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) RF video.
