Definition of SDH
A hierarchical set of digital transport structures, standardized for the transport of suitably adapted payloads over physical transmission networks. SDH defines the frame structure, multiplexing transmission rate, and interface code pattern. method,
Optical Interfaces SDH provides a set of standard rate levels STM-N (N = 4n = 1, 4, 16, 64). The basic signal transmission structure level is STM-1 with a rate of 155Mb/s. Optical interfaces adopt universal standards. Line coding of SDH signals involves scrambling, instead of inserting redundancy codes.
PDH signals SDH Synchronous multiplexing method and flexible mapping structure
4. Compatibility
SDH network and existing PDH network can work together. SDH network can accommodate the signals of other hierarchies such as ATM, FDDI, and Ethernet.

B1 Byte
Bit Interleaved Parity (BIP-8) Byte: B1
B1 is for regenerator section error monitoring. BIP-8 is computed over all bits of the regenerator section of STM-N frame. BIP-8 Principle: B1 is computed in unit of 8 bits. Monitoring partition: bit column. Even parity is generated by setting the BIP-8 bits so that there is an even number of 1s in each partition of the signal.
B1 Byte
B1 Byte Principle
At transmitting side, the BIP-8 is computed over all bits of the STM-N regenerator before scrambling, and the result is placed in byte B1 of the preceding frame. At receiving end, the BIP-8 is computed over all bits of the regenerator after de-scrambling. This result is then Exclusive OR with the B1 byte result received in later frame. If the value of Exclusive OR operation is zero, there is no bit block error. But if the result is not zero then there may be errors in transmission. A1 00110011

If the value of Exclusive OR operation is zero, there is no bit block error. Any mismatch in result indicates transmission errors. 11001100 11001100 11001100 01011101 01011101 01011101 BIP24 11110000 11110000 11110000 01100001 01100001 01100001

Section Overhead
Byte Interleaving of Section Overhead
When STM-1 frames are multiplexed into STM-N, the byte interleave multiplexing of AU Pointer and Payload is different from Section Overhead. In the former case, all bytes are interleaved. For the latter, only the first STM-1 frames section overhead is reserved, while remaining STM-1 frames Section Overheads are omitted except bytes like A1, A2, B2.
