Analytic Model for Cross-Layer Dependencies in VDSL2 access networks

Summary, in English

Recent changes in user employment of Internet

based services, new deployment technologies for mobile networks

as well as an ongoing realisation of fixed and mobile converged

networks e.g. the EU FP7 project COMBO, are significant

examples of enablers for increasing demands on DSL links.

Investigating cross-layer dependencies between all layers in the

OSI reference model becomes increasingly important. In this

paper we present an analytical model and experimental results

for the relation between impulse noise on a VDSL2 link and the

effect this have on the network layer packet loss. We show how

the packet loss rate is dependent not only on the disturbance

signal level and periodicity but also on the link utilisation.
