CAUTION !
PREPUBLISHED RECOMMENDATION
This prepublication is an unedited version of a recently approved Recommendation.
It will be replaced by the published version after editing. Therefore, there will be
differences between this prepublication and the published version.
FOREWORD
The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of
telecommunications, information and communication technologies (ICTs). The ITU Telecommunication
Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical,
operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing
telecommunications on a worldwide basis.
The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes
the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics.
The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1.
In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-T's purview, the necessary standards are
prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC.
NOTE
In this Recommendation, the expression "Administration" is used for conciseness to indicate both a
telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency.
Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain
mandatory provisions (to ensure, e.g., interoperability or applicability) and compliance with the
Recommendation is achieved when all of these mandatory provisions are met. The words "shall" or some other
obligatory language such as "must" and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of
such words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is required of any party.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

ITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve
the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or
applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside of
the Recommendation development process.
As of the date of approval of this Recommendation, ITU [had/had not] received notice of intellectual property,
protected by patents, which may be required to implement this Recommendation. However, implementers are
cautioned that this may not represent the latest information and are therefore strongly urged to consult the TSB
patent database at http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/ipr/.

(This annex forms an integral part of this Recommendation.)
B.1 Band plans

This annex defines the various band plans required for European deployment of VDSL2 systems
operating at a maximum frequency of 12, 17, 30 or 35 MHz. These are based on [ITU-T G.993.1]
band plans A and B (also referred to as plan 998 and plan 997, respectively). The various band plans
are defined in Table B.1 below and can be summarized as follows:
Plan 997 The original plan 997 (fmax = 12 MHz).
Plan 997E17 Plan 997 directly extended to fmax = 17.664 MHz.
Plan 997E30 Plan 997 directly extended to fmax = 30 MHz.
NOTE – Plan 997E17 and plan 997 are truncated versions of plan 997E30.
Plan 998 The original plan 998 (fmax = 12 MHz).
Plan 998E17 Plan 998 directly extended to fmax = 17.664 MHz.
Plan 998E30 Plan 998 directly extended to fmax = 30 MHz.
NOTE – Plan 998E17 and plan 998 are truncated versions of plan 998E30.
Plan 998E35 Plan 998 directly extended to fmax = 35.328 MHz (frequencies above 14 MHz
are for downstream transmission only).
NOTE – Plan 998E17 and plan 998 are truncated versions of plan 998E30 and plan
998E35.
Plan 998ADE17 Plan 998 extended to fmax = 17.664 MHz (downstream transmission only
above 12 MHz)
Plan 998ADE30 Plan 998 extended to fmax = 30 MHz.
Plan 998ADE35 Plan 998 extended to fmax = 35.328 MHz (frequencies above 12 MHz are for
downstream transmission only).
NOTE – Plan 998ADE17 and plan 998 are truncated versions of plan 998ADE30
and plan 998ADE35.
Plan HPE17 Band plan for operation between 7.05 MHz and 17.664 MHz.
Plan HPE30 Band plan for operation between 7.05 MHz and 30 MHz.
NOTE – Plan HPE17 is a truncated version of plan HPE30.
Plan HPE1230 Band plan for operation between 12 MHz and 30 MHz.

Plan HPE1730 Band plan for operation between 17.664 MHz and 30 MHz.
Plan HPEADE1230 Band plan for operation between 12 MHz and 30 MHz.
NOTE – Plan HPEADE1230 is a truncated version of plan 998ADE30.
Plan HPEADE1730 Band plan for operation between 17.664 MHz and 30 MHz.
NOTE – Plan HPEADE1730 is a truncated version of plan 998ADE30.
Different variants are defined for band plans 997, 998, 998E17, 998E30, 998E35, 998ADE17 and,
998ADE30 and 998ADE35 to accommodate different underlying services (POTS and ISDN), and

B.4 Template PSD

B.4.1 Definition
The Template PSD is set to 3.5 dB below the PSD mask in frequency bands in which the PSD is at
or above −96.5 dBm/Hz. Elsewhere the template is set to −100 dBm/Hz below 4 MHz, −110 dBm/Hz

between 4 MHz and f3, or −112 dBm/Hz between f3 and 3035.328 MHz, where f3 is defined in
Table B.1. These values are chosen to satisfy the requirements of clause 7.2.2.
B.4.2 Narrow-band PSD verification
Narrow-band compliance with the PSD masks in this annex shall be verified by power measurements
using a 10-kHz measurement bandwidth centred on the frequency in question above 4 kHz, and in a
100-Hz measurement bandwidth in the band up to 4 kHz.
B.4.3 Use in simulation (Informative)
The Template PSD may be used in simulations of VDSL2 performance as representative of an
average transmitter conformant with the associated Limit PSD mask.
B.5 Compliance
Compliance requires conformance with at least one Limit PSD mask.

Annex N
Region D (China)
(This annex forms an integral part of this Recommendation.)
N.1 Band plans

This annex defines the band plan for the Chinese region for VDSL2 systems operating at a maximum
frequency of 17.66MHz. The band plan is defined in Table N.1 below and can be summarized as
follows:
Plan CN17 Band plan to fmax = 17.664 MHz
Different variants are defined for band plan CN17 to accommodate different underlying services
(POTS and ISDN), and different US0 bandwidths.

NOTE 1 – N/A in the columns f0L and f0H designates a band plan variant that does not use US0.
NOTE 2 – The capability to support US0 together with profile 17a is required for Chinese VDSL2.
The fi in Table N.1 are defined as follows:
• f0L and f0H: define lower and upper frequency of US0;
• f1 to f3 are the boundary frequencies of the bands DS1 and US1 as defined for CN17.
• f4 to f5 are the boundary frequencies of the bands DS2 and US2 for CN17.

N.2 Limit PSD mask options

following:
Profile 17a: HRTref = 8 DMT symbols
Profile 35b: HRTref = 6 DMT symbols
The reference half roundtrip (HRTref) values for determining AggAchievableNDR_R are the
following:
Profile 17a: HRTref = 8 DMT symbols
Profile 35b: HRTref = 7 DMT symbols
NOTE - With nominal values of CE, the HRTref of 8 symbols, 7 symbols, and 6 symbols are equal to 2 ms,
1.75 ms, and 1.5 ms, respectively.
The Maximum Aggregate Achievable Net Data Rate (MaxAggAchievableNDR, see clause
D.1.1.1/G.998.4) for each profile,
are the following:
