Goals of SDH
Advantages of SDH over PDH Multiplexing Method In PDH, adding/dropping low-rate signals from high-rate signals must be conducted level by level.
Low-rate SDH signals are multiplexed into the frame structure of high-rate SDH signals via byte interleaved method. Location of low-rate SDH signals are fixed, regular, and predictable in the frame of highrate SDH signals.
Few Overhead bytes are added to PDH signals for OAM purpose. In SDH, about 1/20 of the total bytes in a frame are used for OAM purpose.
Disadvantages of SDH
Low Bandwidth Utilization Ratio
To transmit, the same amount of valid information, PDH signals occupy less frequency bandwidth than SDH signals.
Disadvantages of SDH
Complex Mechanism of Pointer Justification
Pointer constantly indicates the location of low-rate signals so that they can be demultiplexed easily. II. This pointer function increases the complexity of the system.
