• Source: G.992.1

In telecommunications, ITU-T G.992.1 (better known as G.dmt) is an ITU standard for ADSL using discrete multitone modulation (DMT). G.dmt full-rate ADSL expands the usable bandwidth of existing copper telephone lines, delivering high-speed data communications at rates up to 8 Mbit/s downstream and 1.3 Mbit/s upstream.
DMT allocates from 2 to 15 bits per channel (bin). As line conditions change, bit swapping allows the modem to swap bits around different channels, without retraining, as each channel becomes more or less capable. If bit swapping is disabled then this does not happen and the modem needs to retrain in order to adapt to changing line conditions.
There are 2 competing standards for DMT ADSL - ANSI and G.dmt; ANSI T1.413 is a North American standard, G.992.1 (G.dmt) is an ITU (United Nations Telecom committee) standard. G.dmt is used most commonly today, throughout the world, but the ANSI standard was formerly popular in North America. There is a difference in framing between the two, and selecting the wrong standard can cause frame alignment errors every 5 or so minutes. Error correction is done using Reed–Solomon encoding and further protection can be used if Trellis encoding is used at both ends. Interleaving can also increase the robustness of the line but increases latency.




DMT history and line rates



Modulation is the overlaying of information (or the signal) onto an electronic or optical carrier waveform. There are two competing and incompatible standards for modulating the ADSL signal, known as discrete multitone modulation (DMT) and Carrierless Amplitude Phase (CAP). CAP was the original technology used for DSL deployments, but the most widely used method now is DMT.
The graphs on the right summarise the speeds obtainable for each ADSL standard based on line length and attenuation. The second graph is of more importance since it is attenuation which is the governing factor for line speed because attenuation rate over distance can vary significantly between various copper lines due to their quality and other factors. ADSL2 is able to extend the reach of extremely long lines that have around 90 dB attenuation. Standard ADSL is only able to provide a service on lines with an attenuation no greater than about 75 dB.




DMT technical details






= Bins (carrier channels)

=
Discrete Multi-Tone (DMT), the most widely used modulation method, separates the ADSL signal into 255 carriers (bins) centred on multiples of 4.3125 kHz. DMT has 224 downstream frequency bins and up to 31 upstream bins. Bin 0 is at DC and is not used. When voice (POTS) is used on the same line, then bin 7 is the lowest bin used for ADSL.
The centre frequency of bin N is (N x 4.3125) kHz. The spectrum of each bin overlaps that of its neighbours: it is not confined to a 4.3125 kHz wide channel. The orthogonality of COFDM makes this possible without interference.
Up to 15 bits per symbol can be encoded in a bin on a good quality line.
The frequency layout can be summarised as:

30 Hz-4 kHz, voice.
4–25 kHz, unused guard band.
25–138 kHz, 25 upstream bins (7-31).
138–1104 kHz, 224 downstream bins (32-255).
Typically, a few bins around 31-32 are not used in order to prevent interference between upstream and downstream bins either side of 138 kHz. These unused bins constitute a guard band to be chosen by each DSLAM manufacturer - it is not defined by the G.992.1 specification.




= Coded orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (COFDM)

=
The use of bins produces a transmission system known as coded orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (COFDM). In the context of G.992.1, the term "Discrete Multi-Tone" (DMT) is used instead, hence the alternative name of the standard, G.dmt.
Using DMT is useful since it allows the communications equipment (user modem/router and exchange/DSLAM) to select only bins which are usable on the line thus effectively obtaining the best overall bit rate from the line at any given moment in time. With COFDM, a combined signal containing many frequencies (for each bin) is transmitted down the line. Fast Fourier Transform (and the inverse iFFT) is used to convert the signal on the line into the individual bins.




= Reducing bit errors with QAM or PSK

=
A type of quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) or phase-shift keying (PSK) is used to encode the bits within each bin. This is a complex and mathematical subject and will not be discussed further here. However, much research has been done on these modulation techniques and they are used for transmission because they allow the SNR to be improved, thus lowering the noise floor and enabling more reliable transmission of a signal with fewer errors. The gain obtainable above the noise floor can be anything from 0.5 to 1.5 dB and these small amounts make a vast difference when sending signals over long distance copper lines of 6 km or more.




= Bin quality and bit rate

=
The quality of the line (how well it performs) at the frequency of the bin in question determines how many bits can be encoded within that bin. As with all transmission lines, it depends on the attenuation and signal-to-noise ratio.
SNR may differ for each bin and this plays an important factor for deciding how many bits can be encoded reliably on it. Generally speaking, 1 bit can be encoded reliably for each 3 dB of available dynamic range above the noise floor within a transmission medium so, for example, a bin with an SNR of 18 dB would be able to accommodate 6 bits.




= Echo cancellation

=
Echo cancellation can be used so the downstream channel overlaps the upstream channel, or vice versa, meaning simultaneous upstream and downstream signals are sent. Echo cancellation is optional and is typically not used.




DMT bits-per-bin examples


Below are examples of how the bin layout may look on various ADSL modems. Both show similar information and in each example there are 256 bins with a varied number of bits being encoded on each one. We can see that at around the frequency range of bin 33, the SNR is 40 dB with the bits per bin being around 6 or 7.

Summary


DMT uses COFDM to create 256 bins (carrier channels) using frequencies above voice on the line.
The frequency layout can be summarised as:
0–4 kHz, voice.
4–25 kHz, unused guard band.
25–138 kHz, 25 upstream bins (7–31).
138–1104 kHz, 224 downstream bins (32–255).
Bin N is centered on a frequency of N × 4.3125 kHz.
The bandwidth used by each bin overlaps neighbouring bins.
The number of bits encoded on each bin is between 2 and 15, depending on the signal to noise ratio (SNR) for that bin.
For each 3 dB of SNR within a bin, 1 bit can be encoded reliably.
Too many errors that cannot be corrected by the built in error correction would lead to the end user modem/router losing sync with the remote exchange (DSLAM or MSAN).
Echo cancellation can be used on the lower frequency (upstream) bins to allow all 256 bins to be used for downstream.




ADSL statistics


Figures in brackets have been shown to provide a stable service in practice.

Attenuation - How much signal is lost on the line (should be <56 dB downstream, <37 dB upstream)
Noise margin - 12 dB or higher, for both downstream and upstream
Attainable bit rates - Maximum speed line is capable of supporting
DMT bits per bin - Shows which channels are in use
CV - Coding violations
ES - Errored Seconds - number of seconds that have had CRC errors
Relative capacity occupation (RCO) - Percentage of the attainable line bit rate that is in use. This takes into account interference on the line and the target noise margin at the remote DSLAM.
SES - Severely Errored Seconds - after 10 seconds of ES we start counting SES
UAS - Unavailable Seconds - Seconds where we had no sync
LOS - Loss of Sync
LPR - Loss of CPE power
LOF - Loss of Framing - DSL frames don't line up
