3. FUNCTIONAL OPERATION
3.01
The HiGain system utilizes PairGain 2-Bit
1-Quartenary (2B1Q) HDSL transceiver systems
to establish two full duplex 784 kbps data channels
between the HLU-431, List 1D and a remotely mounted
HRU-412 HiGain Remote Unit. This provides a total
capacity of 1.568 Mbps between the two units.
3.02
A block diagram of the HLU-431, List 1D is
shown in Figure 2. The HiGain HLU-431, List
1D receives a 1.544 Mbps DS1 data stream from the
DSX-1 digital cross connect interface. The HLU-431, List
1D contains a DSX-1 frame synchronizer controlled by an
8-bit microprocessor that determines the type of framing
on the DS1 stream and synchronizes to it. The HLU-431,
List 1D recognizes Super Frame (SF) (including D4) or
Extended Super Frame (ESF) framing. When the data is
unframed, the HLU-431, List 1D arbitrarily defines a
frame bit.
3.03
The HLU-431, List 1D contains a multiplexer that
generates two parallel 784 kbps data streams.
The data streams contain HDSL frames that are nominally
4704 bits (6 milliseconds) in length. The HDSL frames
contain a 14-bit Frame Sync Word (FSW), 6-bit Cyclic
Redundancy Check (CRC), 21-bit operations channel and
DSX-1 payload. The DSX-1 stream is separated into two
parallel streams that comprise the payloads of the HDSL
channels. The HLU-431, List 1D allocates the DS0 time
slots according to the version of HRU-412 to which it is
connected. Older version HRUs require the odd DS0 time
slots allocated to loop 1 and the even DS0 time slots to
loop 2. Newer versions allocated DS0 time slots 1 through
12 to loop 1, and time slots 13 through 24 to loop 2. The 8
kbps frame bits of the DSX-1 stream are included on both
HDSL channels. The two formatted HDSL channels are
passed to the HDSL transceivers which convert them to
the 2B1Q format on the HDSL lines. The 2B1Q line code
is designed to operate in a full-duplex mode on
unconditioned pairs. The transceiver echo canceler and
adaptive equalizer receive the signal from the remote end
in the presence of impairments and noise on the copper
pairs.

PairGain’s HDSL technology provides full duplex services at standard T-1 rates over
copper wires between an HLU and an HRU, which comprise one HiGain system.
