Experimental verification of a simulation model for extra-fast communication on twisted pair lines

Abstract

Today, G.fast subscriber technology belongs to the most advanced access network technologies used in practice and it should be used for massive FTTx development. However, only the narrow band of G.fast subscriber lines is ready for practical deployment. Due to this fact, simulations and modeling of G.fast lines based on different transmission parameters and environment are important in order to estimate future access networks development. For that reason, it is important to implement additional parameters to provide more accurate and relevant modeling and simulations of real access networks and various types of G.fast transmission lines. This paper deals with modeling and simulations of G.fast lines in typical twisted pairs in industry environment. The article provides calculations and simulations of G.fast lines for various types of metallic cables and under different conditions, including specific profiles of crosstalk spectral densities. Next, these theoretical simulations are compared with real measurements, which increases the accuracy of the modeling. These presented models can be used to accurately estimate the performance of local networks under different conditions in practice.
