this SDH signal arrives at the remote PTE, this DS3 or E3 signal will then be extracted from the SDH signal,
and will be output to some other DS3/E3 Terminal Equipment for further processing.
Figure 30 presents an illustration of this approach to transporting DS3 data over a SONET Network

As mentioned above a DS3 or E3 signal will be asynchronously mapped into a SONET or SDH signal and then
transported over the SONET or SDH network. At the remote PTE this DS3 or E3 signal will be extracted (or
de-mapped) from this SONET or SDH signal, where it will then be routed to DS3 or E3 terminal equipment for
further processing.
In order to insure that this "de-mapped" DS3 or E3 signal can be routed to any industry-standard DS3 or E3
terminal equipment, without any complications or adverse effect on the network, the Telcordia and ITU-T
standard committees have specified some limits on both the Intrinsic Jitter and Wander that may exist within
these DS3 or E3 signals as they are de-mapped from SONET/SDH. As a consequence, all PTEs that maps
and de-mapped DS3/E3 signals into/from SONET/SDH must be designed such that the DS3 or E3 data that is
de-mapped from SONET/SDH by these PTEs must meet these Intrinsic Jitter and Wander requirements.
As mentioned above, the LIU can assist the System Designer (of SONET/SDH PTE) by ensuring that their
design will meet these Intrinsic Jitter and Wander requirements.
This section of the data sheet will present the following information to the user.
• Some background information on Mapping DS3/E3 signals into SONET/SDH and de-mapping DS3/E3
signals from SONET/SDH.
• A brief discussion on the causes of jitter and wander within a DS3 or E3 signal that mapped into a SONET/
SDH signal, and is transported across the SONET/SDH Network.
• A brief review of these Intrinsic Jitter and Wander requirements in both SONET and SDH applications.
• A brief review on the Intrinsic Jitter and Wander measurement results (of a de-mapped DS3 or E3 signal)
whenever the LIU device is used in a system design.
• A detailed discussion on how to design with and configure the LIU device such that the end-system will meet
these Intrinsic Jitter and Wander requirements.
