PROGRESS ON VECTORING INTEROP & TESTING

• Editor: Frank Van der Putten, Alcatel-Lucent

• Gives functional requirements and performance

targets for vectoring capable VDSL2 systems

• Pass/fail criteria for performance tests as proposed

by Alcatel-Lucent

­ Compares the VECTORED performance with the NO

XTALK performance and the FULL FEXT performance

­ Gap to single-user rate ≤ PLMAX OR

Vectoring gain ≥ PGMIN

• Sent out for straw ballot in October

• Approval expected by March 2014
