version 3 [i.1] but also made some extension on power targets roadmap.
The types of broadband access technologies covered by the present document are the ones widely deployed at the date
of publication. Currently, the present document considers DSLAM DSL, MSAN, GPON OLT, Point to Point OLT
equipment. Other access technologies may be included in further versions of the present document.
In addition to the full power state, power-saving states as defined in DSL standards [i.2] and [i.3] are also covered.
The present document focuses on Network Equipment. The end-user equipment will be handled in other document
Okoljski inženiring (EE) - Merilne metode in mejne vrednosti za porabo električne energije v opremi za širokopasovna telekomunikacijska omrežja
Ta dokument obravnava mejne vrednosti za porabo električne energije, metodologijo in preskusne pogoje za merjenje porabe električne energije v opremi za širokopasovna fiksna telekomunikacijska omrežja.
Mejne vrednosti za porabo električne energije so večinoma v skladu z evropskim kodeksom ravnanja za širokopasovno opremo različice 3 [i.1], deloma pa so v skladu tudi s smernicami za cilje glede električne energije.
V tem dokumentu so obravnavane vrste tehnologij širokopasovnega dostopa, ki so splošno razširjene na datum objave. Ta dokument trenutno obravnava opremo DSLAM DSL, MSAN, GPON OLT in opremo OLT točka-točka. Druge tehnologije dostopa se lahko vključijo v poznejše različice tega dokumenta.
Poleg stanja polne pripravljenosti so obravnavana tudi energijsko varčna stanja, kot so določena v standardih DSL [i.2] in [i.3]. Ta dokument se osredotoča na omrežno opremo. Oprema za končnega uporabnika bo obravnavana v drugem dokumentu.

3 Definitions and abbreviations
3.1 Definitions
For the purposes of the present document, the following terms and definitions apply:
active line: line in operational mode and carrying traffic as specified for that mode of operation (ADSL2plus or
VDSL2)
broadband telecommunication network equipment: equipment of broadband technology that is part of a
telecommunication network
broadband terminal equipment: equipment of broadband technology that is connected beyond the Network
Termination Point of a telecommunication network
full-power state: state in which the maximal allowed data transmission is possible
NOTE: The maximum is defined by the physical properties of the line and the settings of the operator (e.g. L0 for
ADSL2/2plus).
low-power state: state in which a limited power reduction capability and a limited data transmission is allowed
NOTE: It is entered automatically from the full power state after the data transmission during a certain time is
lower than the limit. If more than the limited data has to be transmitted from either side a state change to
the full power state is entered automatically. The low power state may comprise multiple sub-states with
history dependant state transition rules (e.g. L2 for ADSL2/2plus).
power consumption: power used by a device to achieve an intended application performance
stand-by state: state in which the largest power reduction capability and no transmission of data is possible
NOTE: From this state a direct state change to the full-transmission state is possible, if data has to be transmitted
from either side (e.g. L3 for ADSL2/2plus).
telecommunication network: network operated under a license granted by a national telecommunications authority,
which provides telecommunications between Network Termination Points (NTPs) (i.e. excluding terminal equipment
beyond the NTPs)

4 Definition of power consumption
4.1 Definition of power consumption per port of broadband
network equipment
The power consumption of broadband telecommunication network equipment is defined as:
P = P / N
BBport BBeq ports
Where:
P is the power consumption (in W) of a fully equipped broadband network equipment, measured at the electric
BBeq
power input interface, placed at the premises of the operator or the equipment supplier, which connects multiple
broadband subscribers to a backbone. P is measured in determined environmental conditions defined in
BBeq
clause 5.1.1.
P is the power consumption per port in W of the broadband network equipment for which the limits are defined in
BBport
the present document.
N is the maximum number of subscriber lines access ports served by the broadband network equipment under test.
ports
ETSI
8 Final draft ETSI ES 203 215 V1.2.1 (2011-08)
4.2 Power consumption taking into account the low-power
states
The low-power states are intended to reduce the power consumption during periods of no or minimal traffic needs
(e.g. low data-rate applications or control signalling only). When these low-power states are used, the achievable power
consumption reduction can be estimated by using profiles based on user traffic assumptions, some example of user
hourly traffic as illustrated in annex B.
NOTE 1: Example of power-saving states usage.
A number of power-saving states are defined in the DSL standards (L2, L3, ITU-T Recommendations
G.992.3 [i.1] and G.992.5 [i.2]). These power-saving states are implemented, both in the Network
equipment (i.e. the subject of the present document) and the CPE/end-user equipment deployed at the
premises of the user of the broadband line; this will enable the operator to use these to further limit the
power consumption of the equipment. Further study is required to optimize the way in which the
low-power states are controlled. In particular, to determine the levels of interference that might arise due
to the fluctuating crosstalk caused by frequent multi-state power transitions.
It is important to notice that it is only possible for GPON to use stand-by state if all ONU are in stand-by
state and not individually as possible for Point-to-Point transmission.
NOTE 2: Additional power saving solutions. A number of additional power saving solutions are available. Some of
these are listed below. However the list is not complete and both the developers and users of broadband
network equipment are encouraged to investigate and introduce new power saving solutions:
� Politeness algorithms.
� Dynamic Spectrum Management.
� Boards optimized for remote applications (reduced line power).
� Dynamic power saving for unused components such as line card, chipset, port, etc.
5 Measurement methods
This clause describes the methods to measure the power consumption of broadband network equipment and also gives
the conditions under which these measurements shall be performed.
5.1 General requirements
5.1.1 Measurement conditions
The power measurements shall be performed in a laboratory environment under the following conditions:
• Room Temperature: 25 °C ± 2 °C.
• Room Relative Humidity: 30 % to 75 %.
• Operating voltage:
- DC Powered Equipment: According to EN 300 132-2 [2], -54,5 V ± 1,5 V for nominal voltage of -48 V
DC powered equipment. Equipment using voltage other than -48 V DC shall be tested at ± 1 % of the
nominal voltage.
- AC Powered Equipment: According to IEC 60038 [4], 230 V ± 1 % for nominal voltage of 230 V AC
and frequency 50 Hz ± 1 %.
ETSI
9 Final draft ETSI ES 203 215 V1.2.1 (2011-08)
• Minimum Measurement Duration: Equipment shall be allowed to stabilize to get stable power measurement. If
power varies over the measurement interval time, an average of measurement shall be calculated:
- For DSLAM equipment, wait 1 minute to settle bitswap after entering L0 mode. After entering L2 mode,
wait one more minute after achieving the final trimmed power level.
- For OLT equipment, wait till OLT and the connected ONUs have finished ranging and dynamic
bandwidth allocation (DBA). The DBA will ensure that any unused bandwidth on a specific GPON port
is allocated to the ONUs connected to it.
5.1.2 Measurement instruments requirements
All measurement instruments used should be calibrated by counterpart national metrology institute and within
calibration due date, and the measurement tolerance must be within ±1 %:
• Power Source: Power sources used to provide power to the equipment under test shall be capable of providing
a minimum of 1,5 times the power rating of the equipment under test.
• Power Measurement Instrument: Power measurement instrument (such as voltmeter and amperometer or
power analyzer) shall have a resolution of 0,5 % or better. AC power measurement instrument shall have the
following minimum characteristics:
1) A minimum digitizing sample rate of 40 kHz.
2) Input circuitry with a minimum bandwidth of 80 kHz.
3) It shall be capable of accurate readings of waveforms having. Crest Factor up to at least 5.
5.1.3 Considered equipment
The following items are considered part of the broadband network equipment and therefore their power consumption
shall be taken into account to get the total power consumption (P ) of the broadband network equipment:
BBeq
• Network Termination board, providing one or more links to the Core or Backhaul Network.
NOTE: The actual number of links should reflect the normal resilience practice for that type of equipment.
Furthermore, all uplink ports should carry test traffic averaged or approximatively averaged.
• Line Termination board, providing a number of DSL, POTS, GPON or Point to Point Ethernet ports connected
to the end-user through the metallic lines or optical fibre.
• Backplane (or other) to interconnect the different blocks of the broadband network equipment.
• Inside Rack Cooling system (e.g. fans drawer inside cabinet based broadband systems).
• Normal operational power supply unit.
5.1.4 Not considered equipment
The following items are not considered part of the broadband network equipment and therefore their power
consumption shall not be added to the power consumption of the broadband network equipment:
• External rectifier (AC - DC converter).
• Room or outdoor Cabinet Ventilation and Air Conditioning Unit (VAC Unit).
• Auxiliary or redundant power unit.
• Battery.
• For DSLAM equipment, Additional External signal processing (Dynamic Spectrum Management (DSM) and
Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) techniques if not implemented as part of the Line Termination board).
ETSI
10 Final draft ETSI ES 203 215 V1.2.1 (2011-08)
For those boards which have more than the bare DSL functionality but have additional functions (e.g. MELT, vectoring,
test access and channel bonding, etc.), these boards are to be used in normal DSL mode of operation with such
additional functions disabled. Optionally a measurement with these functions enabled can be described/requested. In
case such additional functions cannot be fully disabled, manufacturer will declare what is the extra power budget due to
the added functionality. Such extra budget will not be considered in P .

3 Definitions and abbreviations
3.1 Definitions
For the purposes of the present document, the following terms and definitions apply:
active line: line in operational mode and carrying traffic as specified for that mode of operation (ADSL2plus or
VDSL2)
broadband telecommunication network equipment: equipment of broadband technology that is part of a
telecommunication network
broadband terminal equipment: equipment of broadband technology that is connected beyond the Network
Termination Point of a telecommunication network
full-power state: state in which the maximal allowed data transmission is possible
NOTE: The maximum is defined by the physical properties of the line and the settings of the operator (e.g. L0 for
ADSL2/2plus).
low-power state: state in which a limited power reduction capability and a limited data transmission is allowed
NOTE: It is entered automatically from the full power state after the data transmission during a certain time is
lower than the limit. If more than the limited data has to be transmitted from either side a state change to
the full power state is entered automatically. The low power state may comprise multiple sub-states with
history dependant state transition rules (e.g. L2 for ADSL2/2plus).
power consumption: power used by a device to achieve an intended application performance
stand-by state: state in which the largest power reduction capability and no transmission of data is possible
NOTE: From this state a direct state change to the full-transmission state is possible, if data has to be transmitted
from either side (e.g. L3 for ADSL2/2plus).
telecommunication network: network operated under a license granted by a national telecommunications authority,
which provides telecommunications between Network Termination Points (NTPs) (i.e. excluding terminal equipment
beyond the NTPs)

4 Definition of power consumption
4.1 Definition of power consumption per port of broadband
network equipment
The power consumption of broadband telecommunication network equipment is defined as:
P = P / N
BBport BBeq ports
Where:
P is the power consumption (in W) of a fully equipped broadband network equipment, measured at the electric
BBeq
power input interface, placed at the premises of the operator or the equipment supplier, which connects multiple
broadband subscribers to a backbone. P is measured in determined environmental conditions defined in
BBeq
clause 5.1.1.
P is the power consumption per port in W of the broadband network equipment for which the limits are defined in
BBport
the present document.
N is the maximum number of subscriber lines access ports served by the broadband network equipment under test.
ports
ETSI
8 ETSI ES 203 215 V1.2.1 (2011-10)
4.2 Power consumption taking into account the low-power
states
The low-power states are intended to reduce the power consumption during periods of no or minimal traffic needs
(e.g. low data-rate applications or control signalling only). When these low-power states are used, the achievable power
consumption reduction can be estimated by using profiles based on user traffic assumptions, some example of user
hourly traffic as illustrated in annex B.
NOTE 1: Example of power-saving states usage.
A number of power-saving states are defined in the DSL standards (L2, L3, ITU-T Recommendations
G.992.3 [i.1] and G.992.5 [i.2]). These power-saving states are implemented, both in the Network
equipment (i.e. the subject of the present document) and the CPE/end-user equipment deployed at the
premises of the user of the broadband line; this will enable the operator to use these to further limit the
power consumption of the equipment. Further study is required to optimize the way in which the
low-power states are controlled. In particular, to determine the levels of interference that might arise due
to the fluctuating crosstalk caused by frequent multi-state power transitions.
It is important to notice that it is only possible for GPON to use stand-by state if all ONU are in stand-by
state and not individually as possible for Point-to-Point transmission.
NOTE 2: Additional power saving solutions. A number of additional power saving solutions are available. Some of
these are listed below. However the list is not complete and both the developers and users of broadband
network equipment are encouraged to investigate and introduce new power saving solutions:
� Politeness algorithms.
� Dynamic Spectrum Management.
� Boards optimized for remote applications (reduced line power).
� Dynamic power saving for unused components such as line card, chipset, port, etc.
5 Measurement methods
This clause describes the methods to measure the power consumption of broadband network equipment and also gives
the conditions under which these measurements shall be performed.
5.1 General requirements
5.1.1 Measurement conditions
The power measurements shall be performed in a laboratory environment under the following conditions:
• Room Temperature: 25 °C ± 2 °C.
• Room Relative Humidity: 30 % to 75 %.
• Operating voltage:

• Minimum Measurement Duration: Equipment shall be allowed to stabilize to get stable power measurement. If
power varies over the measurement interval time, an average of measurement shall be calculated:
- For DSLAM equipment, wait 1 minute to settle bitswap after entering L0 mode. After entering L2 mode,
wait one more minute after achieving the final trimmed power level.
- For OLT equipment, wait till OLT and the connected ONUs have finished ranging and dynamic
bandwidth allocation (DBA). The DBA will ensure that any unused bandwidth on a specific GPON port
is allocated to the ONUs connected to it.
5.1.2 Measurement instruments requirements
All measurement instruments used should be calibrated by counterpart national metrology institute and within
calibration due date, and the measurement tolerance must be within ±1 %:
• Power Source: Power sources used to provide power to the equipment under test shall be capable of providing
a minimum of 1,5 times the power rating of the equipment under test.
• Power Measurement Instrument: Power measurement instrument (such as voltmeter and amperometer or
power analyzer) shall have a resolution of 0,5 % or better. AC power measurement instrument shall have the
following minimum characteristics:
1) A minimum digitizing sample rate of 40 kHz.
2) Input circuitry with a minimum bandwidth of 80 kHz.
3) It shall be capable of accurate readings of waveforms having. Crest Factor up to at least 5.
5.1.3 Considered equipment
The following items are considered part of the broadband network equipment and therefore their power consumption
shall be taken into account to get the total power consumption (P ) of the broadband network equipment:
BBeq
• Network Termination board, providing one or more links to the Core or Backhaul Network.
NOTE: The actual number of links should reflect the normal resilience practice for that type of equipment.
Furthermore, all uplink ports should carry test traffic averaged or approximatively averaged.
• Line Termination board, providing a number of DSL, POTS, GPON or Point to Point Ethernet ports connected
to the end-user through the metallic lines or optical fibre.
• Backplane (or other) to interconnect the different blocks of the broadband network equipment.
• Inside Rack Cooling system (e.g. fans drawer inside cabinet based broadband systems).
• Normal operational power supply unit.
5.1.4 Not considered equipment
The following items are not considered part of the broadband network equipment and therefore their power
consumption shall not be added to the power consumption of the broadband network equipment:
• External rectifier (AC - DC converter).
• Room or outdoor Cabinet Ventilation and Air Conditioning Unit (VAC Unit).
• Auxiliary or redundant power unit.
• Battery.
• For DSLAM equipment, Additional External signal processing (Dynamic Spectrum Management (DSM) and
Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) techniques if not implemented as part of the Line Termination board).
ETSI
10 ETSI ES 203 215 V1.2.1 (2011-10)
For those boards which have more than the bare DSL functionality but have additional functions (e.g. MELT, vectoring,
test access and channel bonding, etc.), these boards are to be used in normal DSL mode of operation with such
additional functions disabled. Optionally a measurement with these functions enabled can be described/requested. In
case such additional functions cannot be fully disabled, manufacturer will declare what is the extra power budget due to
the added functionality. Such extra budget will not be considered in P .

4 Definition of power consumption
4.1 Definition of power consumption per line of broadband
network equipment
The power consumption of broadband telecommunication network equipment is defined as:
P = P / N
BBline BBeq subscrib-lines
Where:
P is the power consumption (in W) of a fully equipped broadband network equipment, measured at the electric
BBeq
power input interface, placed at the premises of the operator or the equipment supplier, which connects multiple
broadband subscribers to a backbone. P is measured in determined environmental conditions defined in
BBeq
clause 5.1.1.
P is the power consumption per line in W of the broadband network equipment for which the limits are defined in
BBline
the present document.
N is the maximum number of subscriber lines or ports served by the broadband network equipment under
suscrib-lines
test.
4.2 Definition of normalized power consumption per line for
broadband network equipment
In addition to the power consumption P that is defined for the equipment, an indication of global network power
BBline
performance "Normalized Power Consumption" (NPC) might be given. The definition of the NPC can be found in
TR 102 530 [i.5].
ETSI
8 Final draft ETSI ES 203 215 V1.1.1 (2010-09)
For DSLAM equipment, the NPC is an indicator of the amount of power required to transport 1 Mbps of data over a
predefined reference lengths in table 1, it is based on the bitrate and reach at full-power state as defined in the
measurement method (see clause 5.2.2).
For OLT equipment, the NPC is an indicator of the amount of power required to transport 1 Mbps. Since the power
consumption of OLT is not directly related with optical fibre length, no reference optical fibre length is defined.
NPC = 1 000 x P / bitrate
BBline
NPC is expressed in mW/Mbps. Bitrate is the downstream net activation data rate expressed in Mbps.
This NPC enables comparison of same technologies from different equipments and/or vendors, as well as of similar
technologies such as evolutions or extensions (e.g. VDSL2 Vectoring) regarding the efficiency of transporting
information (in terms of power). It shall be calculated at relevant reference loop lengths for each technology, and as
such it should be clear that using NPC to directly compare technologies which use different reference loops or different
access technologies shall not be promoted. These reference loops are derived from the typical or targeted working
conditions of these technologies and are given in the clause on measurement methods (clause 5.2.2).
NOTE: Using the NPC to compare the different working states (e.g. L0 with L2 or L3) is not recommended as the
intention of some of these working states is to save energy at times of no or low-rate transmission,
i.e. when there is no need to transmit high data rates.
4.3 Power consumption taking into account the low-power
states
The low-power states are intended to reduce the power consumption during periods of no or minimal traffic needs
(e.g. low data-rate applications or control signalling only). When these low-power states are used, the achievable power
consumption reduction can be estimated by using profiles based on user traffic assumptions, as illustrated in annex C.
NOTE 1: Usage of power-saving states.
A number of power-saving states are defined in the DSL standards (L2, L3, ITU-T Recommendations
G.992.3 [i.2] and G.992.5 [i.3]). These power-saving states are implemented, both in the Network
equipment subject of the present document and the CPE/end-user equipment deployed at the premises of
the user of the broadband line; this will enable the operator to use these to further limit the power
consumption of the equipment. Further study is required to optimize the way in which the low-power
states are controlled. In particular, to determine the levels of interference that might arise due to the
fluctuating crosstalk caused by frequent multi-state power transitions.
NOTE 2: Additional power saving solutions. A number of additional power saving solutions are available. Some of
these are listed below. However the list is not complete and both the developers and users of broadband
network equipment are encouraged to investigate and introduce new power saving solutions:
• Politeness algorithms.
• Dynamic Spectrum Management.
• Boards optimized for remote applications (reduced line power).
