Hello, everyone!
In this post you will learn about the ACCESS Network of Huawei, gathering a couple of various the es to introduce the scheme
ACCESS NETWORK OVERVIEW
Concepts of The Access Network
Basics Concepts of The Access Network
· An Access Network consists of a series of transport entities (such as line facilities and transmission facilities) between the service node interface (SIN) and the related user network interface (UNI). The Access network is an implementation system that provides the bares capability for telecom services.

· The preceding is the definition of the access network defined by the ITU-T:
§ The Access Network (AN) consists of all devices and lines between a local switch and user terminals. It directly provides services for users and various application systems through different transmission media. It is the largest part of the telecom network and generally accounts for 1/2 of the network investment.
· Access networks are classified into narrowband and broadband access networks based on the bandwidth. Narrowband and broadband are classified based on the amount of data to be transmitted. Generally, a bandwidth greater than 2 Mbps is a broadband service. Narrowband services include voice and fax services. Broadband services include Internet access, video, game, and HDTV services.
· AN: access network
· SNI: service node interface
· UNI: user network interface

Last Mile Solution
Last Mile
· The last mile refers to the last mile of a long journey in life. The communication industry often uses "last mile" to refer to the connection between the equipment room switch of a communication service provider and terminal devices such as user computers.
· Traditional Last Mile Solution:
§ Digital Subscriber Lines (xDSL)
§ Fiber Coaxial Cable Hybrid Network (HFC)
§ Power Line Communication (PLC)
§ Wireless Broadband Solution (GPR/EDGE, CDMA, PHS)
§ Satellite Data Transmission
· New Trend of the “last mile” solution:
§ Fiber Access, Fiber to The x (FTTx), G.Fast.
§ 3G, LTE/4G, and 5G technologies
Typical Scenarios and Technologies of Traditional Access

Access Network Deployment Solution for Traditional Carriers
· In a MAN, a large number of scattered users use voice services through PCs, IADs, or E-phones. How to connect these services to the bearer network?
· L2 access:
§ Individual broadband users can access the BRAS through the ATM DSLAM, IP DSLAM, and LAN.
§ Enterprise and commercial users can access the network through ADSL, Ethernet switches, MSTP, or bare fibers.
· L3 convergence: On the MAN access layer, the BRAS is used to authenticate users and send user data to the aggregation router of the Internet or the backbone network of telecom services based on user characteristics, such as the domain and destination IP address.

Development and Characteristics of Digital Subscriber Line xDSL Technology
· DSL is short for the digital subscriber line.
· DSL is a technology developed by the telecom industry to utilize the copper lines of millions of kilometers around the world. Therefore, DSL is also called the copper line access technology.
· Let's review the origin and development history of the xDSL technology.
· The copper line access technology can be traced back to the mid-1970s.
· To cater for the access of multiple services, the ITU-T proposes the idea of using the digital subscriber line of the integrated service digital network, that is, the ISDN technology. ISDN is recognized as the first generation DSL technology.
· ISDN has two interface rates: BRI and PRI. The transmission rate of BRI can reach 144 Kbps, and that of the PRI can reach 2.048 Mbps or 1.544 Mbps.
· By the late 1980s, with the development of digital signal processing technologies, the HDSL technology, that is, the high bit-rate digital subscriber line technology is introduced. The HDSL technology can provide a transmission rate of 2.048 Mbps or 1.544 Mbps.
· In the early 1990s, engineers from Bell realized that it is possible to provide asymmetric services, that is, the rate in one direction could be much higher than that in the other direction.
· This asymmetry is suitable for the video-on-demand test proposed at the time. So the ADSL technology, namely asymmetric digital subscriber line technology, is developed.
· With the development of the digital subscriber line technology, a technology with a higher rate than the ADSL is considered.
· In the late 1990s, the VDSL technology came into being, that is, the very high-speed digital subscriber line technology.
· So far, some other DSL technologies are also developed and called xDSL technologies.

DSL Performance Summary

· ADSL provides asymmetric transmission rates. Downlink rate, that is, from the central office to the user side, can reach 8 Mbps. The upstream rate, that is, from the user side to the central office, ranges from 16 Kbps to 640 Kbps. The maximum transmission distance is 5 km. The ADSL is specially designed to run at a frequency higher than the voice frequency band, and can run on the same line as the ordinary telephone service at the same time.
· VDSL supports both symmetric and asymmetric transmission. The maximum upstream rate is 26 Mbps, and the maximum downstream rate is 52 Mbps. The maximum transmission distance can reach 1.5 km. The VDSL service can be transmitted on the same line as the ordinary telephone service and ISDN service.
· The G.993.2 (VDSL2) transmission standard is based on the Discrete Multi-tone Modulation0 (DMT) technology. In this standard, the ADSL2+ technology is used to provid40e long-distance transmission, and the high data transmission rate of L is enhanced from 70/30 Mbps to symmetric 100 Mbps. To achieve such a high transmission rate in a range of 350 meters, the spectrum of VDSL2 has increased from 12 MHz to 30 MHz.In addition, the transmission 000power has increased to 20 dBm to meet the requirements for medium-and high-ring transmission.

· The xDSL technology can transmit data signals and traditional analog voice signals (except SHDSL) on the same twisted pair.

POL on Enterprise Campus Networks

· Large-scale enterprises face the following challenges in network construction:
§ A large number of switches occupy equipment room space, consume much power, and are difficult to cool.
§ The connections between aggregation routers are complex and occupy pipe space. Therefore, cabling and maintenance are difficult.
§ Switches are scattered and difficult to manage, requiring a large maintenance team.
§ Adding new devices to the network is complex, and the capacity expansion capability is poor.
