Foreword
This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) has been produced by the Transmission and
Multiplexing (TM) Technical Committee of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI)
in order to provide inter-vendor and inter-operator compatibility of SDH equipments.
This ETS has been produced in order to provide inter-vendor and inter-operator compatibility for transport
functionality of equipment.
This ETS consists of 8 parts as follows:
Part 1: "Generic processes and performance" (ETS 300 417-1-1);
Part 2: "SDH and PDH physical section layer functions" (ETS 300 417-2-1);
Part 3: "STM-N regenerator and multiplex section layer functions" (ETS 300 417-3-1);
Part 4: "SDH path layer functions" (ETS 300 417-4-1);
Part 5: "PDH path layer functions" (ETS 300 417-5-1);

1 Scope
This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) specifies a library of basic building blocks and a set of
rules by which they are combined in order to describe transport functionality of equipment. The library
comprises the functional building blocks needed to completely specify the generic functional structure of
the European Transmission Hierarchies. Equipment which is compliant with this ETS needs to be
describable as an interconnection of a subset of these functional blocks contained within this ETS. The
interconnections of these blocks need to obey the combination rules given. The generic functionality is
described in ETS 300 417-1-1 [1].
2 Normative references
This ETS incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These
normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed
hereafter. For dated references subsequent amendments to, or revisions of, any of these publications
apply to this ETS only when incorporated in it by amendments or revisions. For undated references the
latest edition of the publication referred to applies.

The CI at this point is an octet structured, 125 s framed data stream with co-directional timing. It is the
entire STM-1 signal as defined in ETS 300 147 [2]. Figure 2 depicts only bytes handled in the RS1 layer.
NOTE 1: The unmarked bytes [2, 6], [3, 6], [3, 8], [3, 9] in rows 2,3 (figure 2) are reserved for
future international standardization. Currently, they are undefined.
NOTE 2: The unmarked bytes [2, 2], [2, 3], [2, 5], [3, 2], [3, 3], [3, 5] in rows 2,3 (figure 2) are
reserved for media specific usage (e.g. radio sections). In optical and electrical section
applications they are undefined.
NOTE 3: The bytes for National Use (NU) in rows 1,2 (figure 2) are reserved for operator
specific usage. Their processing is not within the province of this ETS. If NU
bytes [1, 8] and [1, 9] are unused, care should be taken in selecting the binary content
of the bytes which are excluded from the scrambling process of the STM-N signal to
ensure that long sequences of "1"s or "0"s do not occur.

The AI at this point is octet structured and 125 μs framed with co-directional timing and represents the
combination of adapted information from the MS1 layer (2 403 bytes per frame), the management
communication DCC layer (3 bytes per frame if supported), the OW layer (1 byte per frame if supported)
and the user channel F1 (1 byte per frame if supported). The location of these four components in the
frame is defined in ETS 300 147 [2] and depicted in figure 3.

Processes:
The function builds the STM-1 signal by adding the frame alignment information, bytes A1A2, the STM
Section Trace Identifier (STI) byte J0, computing the parity and inserting the B1 byte.
J0: In this byte the function shall insert the Transmitted Trail Trace Identifier TxTI. Its format is described
in ETS 300 417-1-1 [1], subclause 7.1.
B1:
The function shall calculate a Bit Interleaved Parity 8 (BIP-8) code using even parity. The BIP-8 shall
be calculated over all bits of the previous STM-1 frame after scrambling and is placed in byte position B1
of the current STM-1 frame before scrambling (figure 5).
A1A2: The function shall insert the STM-1 frame alignment signal A1A1A1A2A2A2 into the regenerator
section overhead as defined in ETS 300 147 [2].
Scrambler: This function provides scrambling of the RS1_CI. The operation of the scrambler shall be
functionally identical to that of a frame synchronous scrambler of sequence length 127 operating at the
6 7
line rate. The generating polynomial shall be 1 + X + X . The scrambler shall be reset to "1111 1111" on
the most significant bit (MSB) of the byte [1, 10] following the last byte of the STM-1 SOH in the first row.
This bit and all subsequent bits to be scrambled shall be modulo 2 added to the output of the X position
of the scrambler. The scrambler shall run continuously throughout the remaining STM-1 frame.

Processes:
This function monitors the STM-1 signal for RS errors, and recovers the RS trail termination status. It
extracts the payload independent overhead bytes (J0, B1) from the RS1 layer Characteristic Information:
Descrambling: The function shall descramble the incoming STM-1 signal. The operation of the
descrambler shall be functionally identical to that of a scrambler in OS1/RS1_A_So.
B1:
Even bit parity is computed for each bit n of every byte of the preceding scrambled STM-1 frame and
compared with bit n of B1 recovered from the current frame (n = 1 to 8 inclusive) (figure 7). A difference
between the computed and recovered B1 values is taken as evidence of one or more errors (nN_B) in the
computation block.
J0
: The Received Trail Trace Identifier RxTI shall be recovered from the J0 byte and shall be made
available as AcTI for network management purposes. The application and acceptance and mismatch
detection process shall be performed as specified in ETS 300 417-1-1 [1], subclauses 7.1 and 8.2.1.3.

Figure 7: Some processes within RS1_TT_Sk
Defects:
The function shall detect for dTIM defect according the specification in ETS 300 417-1-1 [1],
subclause 8.2.1.
Consequent Actions:
aAIS ← CI_SSF or dTIM
aTSF ← CI_SSF or dTIM
On declaration of aAIS the function shall output an all-ONEs (AIS) signal within 250 μs; on clearing of
aAIS the function shall output normal data within 250 μs.
NOTE 1: The term "CI_SSF" has been added to the conditions for aAIS while the descrambler
function has been moved from the e.g. OS1/RS1_A_Sk to this function. Consequently,
an all-ONEs (AIS) pattern inserted in the mentioned adaptation function would be
descrambled in this function. A "refreshment" of all-ONEs is required.
NOTE 2: The insertion of AIS - especially due to detection of dTIM - will cause the RS-DCC
channel to be "squelched" too, so that control of the NE via this channel is lost. If
control is via this channel only, there is a risk of a dead-lock situation if dTIM is caused
by a misprovisioning of ExTI.

Processes:
This function provides the multiplexing of a 64 kbit/s orderwire or user channel information stream into the
RS1_AI using slip buffering. It takes P0s_CI, a 64 kbit/s signal as defined in ETS 300 166 [3], as an octet
structured bit-stream with a synchronous bit rate of 64 kbit/s, present at its input and inserts it into the
RSOH byte E1 or F1 as defined in ETS 300 147 [2] and depicted in figure 3.
NOTE: Any frequency deviation between the 64 kbit/s signal and the associated STM-1 signal
leads to octet slips.
Frequency justification and bitrate adaptation: The function shall provide an elastic store (slip buffer)
process. The data signal shall be written into the store under control of the associated input clock. The
data shall be read out of the store under control of the STM-1 clock, frame position (STM1_TI), and
justification decisions.
Each justification decision results in a corresponding negative/positive justification action. Upon a positive
justification (slip) action, the reading of one 64 kbit/s octet (8 bits) shall be cancelled once. Upon a
negative justification (slip) action, the same 64 kbit/s octet (8 bits) shall be read out a second time.
The elastic store (slip buffer) shall accommodate at least 18 μs of wander without introducing errors.
64 kbit/s timeslot: The adaptation source function has access to a specific 64 kbit/s channel of the RS
access point. The specific 64 kbit/s channel is defined by the parameter N (N = E1, F1).
Defects: None.
Consequent Actions: None.
Defect Correlations: None.
