In this setup the two don&#8217;t have to worry about causing excessive interference and can operate alongside each other within <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a>&#8217;s network, but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/gfast\">G.fast<\/a> is clearly missing out on some performance.<\/p>\n<p>The other problem is that both technologies use two different forms of half \/ full duplexing (i.e. the transmission of data in two directions, either asymmetrically or symmetrically). On the one hand <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/vdsl\">VDSL2<\/a> uses <strong>Frequency Division Duplex<\/strong> (FDD), while on the other G.fast harnesses <strong>Time Division Duplex<\/strong> (TDD). Suffice to say that getting the two to co-exist within the same spectrum would be incredibly difficult, but perhaps not impossible.<\/p>\n<p>Last year we became aware via the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.niccstandards.org.uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">NICC<\/a>, which is a technical forum for the UK communications sector that develops interoperability standards for related public networks and services, that BT was conducting a &#8220;<em>ground breaking<\/em>&#8221; technical study into the options for overlapping VDSL2 and G.fast spectrum up to 17.664MHz (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.niccstandards.org.uk\/meetings\/2016Kevin%20Foster.pptx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">slides<\/a>). In December we got a little more detail on this, but haven&#8217;t been able to report it until now due to the intense amount of pre-Christmas work.<\/p>\n<p>Apparently the key remaining problem is <strong>crosstalk interference<\/strong> from G.fast into VDSL2 and to what extent this difficult but predictable non-stationary crosstalk could be mitigated. Some readers may recall that crosstalk on VDSL2 (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttc\">FTTC<\/a>) broadband lines occurs where lots of active copper lines would effectively create interference for one another, thus <strong>Vectoring<\/strong> was introduced and this works a bit like noise cancelling headphones (i.e. it coordinates the copper line signals in order to remove most of the interference).<\/p>\n<p>Some of our readers may recall that Vectoring had a troubled birth on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/openreach\" target=\"_blank\">Openreach<\/a>&#8217;s VDSL2 lines and a variety of problems meant that it has only ever been implemented in certain very specific \/ busy areas (i.e. where the problem is quite acute), which can help to return <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttc\">FTTC<\/a> speeds to more normal levels (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2015\/06\/bt-begins-uk-rollout-of-vectoring-to-fix-fttc-fibre-broadband-speeds.html\">here<\/a>). By comparison Vectoring has been built into G.fast by default and works much more smoothly.<\/p>\n<p>However BT&#8217;s technical bods are aware that true co-existence like this probably cannot be achieved without some trade-off in VDSL2 performance, although this assumes that the operator would stick with a purely static approach to spectrum management. We understand that BT is also looking at either a semi-static or dynamic option, although the latter might be too complex to implement.<\/p>\n<p>At present all of this is still subject to on-going work and no final decisions have yet been made (each approach will require a complexity vs. benefit analysis), although the impression we get is that co-existence may soon become a very real thing and this would then be followed by a related update to BT&#8217;s <strong>Access Network Frequency Plan<\/strong> (ANFP) and guidelines. The result could be a nice speed boost for G.fast and perhaps a slight improvement to coverage.<\/p>\n<p>So far as we&#8217;re aware BT appear to be the only operator that is currently considering all of these different techniques \/ options together and if they can pull it off then it would be a technically very impressive feat, although much may depend upon the penalty it introduces to VDSL2 performance (nobody likes to lose broadband speed).<\/p>\n<p>The group is being conducted by BT&#8217;s Head of Access Platform Innovation, <strong>Kevin Foster<\/strong>, who is also Chairman of NICC&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/adsl\">DSL<\/a> Task Group.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the problems with BT&#8217;s new 330Mbps capable hybrid-fibre G.fast technology (ITU G.9700\/9701) is that it can&#8217;t harness all of its spectrum (106MHz) because it needs to avoid interfering with the existing VDSL2 (FTTC) based &#8220;fibre broadband&#8221; service.
