  Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy
The Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy (PDH) is a technology used in telecommunications networks to transport large quantities of data over digital transport equipment such as fibre optic and microwave radio[?] systems.
The term plesiochronous is derived from Greek plesio, meaning near, and chronos, time, and refers to the fact that PDH networks run in a state where different parts of the network are almost, but not quite perfectly, synchronised.
PDH allows transmission of data streams that are nominally running at the same rate, but allowing some variation on the speed around a nominal rate.

 PDH - Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy
Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy: PDH (plesiochronous means nearly synchronous), was developed to carry digitized voice over twisted pair cabling more efficiently.
This evolved into the North American, European, and Japanese Digital Hierarchies where only a discrete set of fixed rates is available, namely, nxDS0 (DS0 is a 64 kbps rate) and then the next levels in the respective multiplex hierarchies.

 PLESIOCHRONOUS DIGITAL HIERARCHY digital
Early core transmission facilities used frequency division multiplexing, but in the 1960s this system was largely replaced with the PDH (plesiochronous digital hierarchy), which is a system of multiplexing numerous individual channels into higher-level channels.
These features were based on high-order multiplexing through a hierarchy of increasing bit rates up to 140 Mbps or 565 Mbps in Europe and had been defined in the late 1960s and early 1970s along with the introduction of digital transmission over coaxial cables.
The Synchronous digital hierarchy as developed by the ITU-T is also covered and the North American SONET implementation of it is analysis in order to obtain a better insight of the complexity of this new technology.

PDH was the old standard derived from the days of multiplexing telephone calls.
The figures shown here are the European standard and are based on the 64kbit/s channel which was used to transmit a single voice call digitally.
NOTE: The PDH standards in the USA and JAPAN are different although both are based on the same Level 0 rate.

This introduction of justification 'dummy' bits occurs at all levels of multiplexing in the hierarchy, and this plesiochronous (almost synchronous) mode of transmission multiplexing is termed Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy (PDH).
Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy was intended as a solution for voice telephony channel multiplexing and is not suited for the high-bandwidth connections that the applications of today need.
An important difference between PDH and SDH is that higher order streams are obtained in SDH by byte-interleaving the lower streams, instead of bit-interleaving as is done in PDH.

 limitations of the plesiochronous digital hierarchy   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
The problem of flexibility in a plesiochronous network is illustrated by considering what a network operator may need to do in order to be able to provide a business customer with a 2 Mbit\s leased line.
The use of justification bits at each level in the PDH means that identifying the exact location of the frames in a single 2 Mbit\s line within say a 140 Mbit\s channel is impossible.
Another limitation of the PDH is its lack of performance monitoring capability.

Digital data and voice transmission is based on a 2.048Mbit/s bearer consisting of 30 time division multiplexed (TDM) voice channels, each running at 64Kbps (known as E1 and described by the CCITT G.703 specification).
Plesiochronous transmission is now often referred to as plesiochronous digital hierarchy (PDH).
PDH links are generally limited to point-to-point configurations with full demultiplexing at each switching or cross connect node.

 Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
PDH is now being replaced by Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) equipment in most telecommunications networks.
However, there is no link between watches to guarantee they run at exactly the same rate, and it is highly likely that one is running slightly faster than the other.
This allows the receiving multiplexer to correctly reconstruct the original data for each of the four 2 Mbit/s data streams, and at the correct, different plesiochronous, rates.

 Synchronous Digital Hierarchy, Synchronous Transport Model, Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy
As bandwidth demand grew the technology called Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy (PDH) was developed by ITU-T G.702, whereby the basic primary multiplexer 2.048Mb/s trunks were joined together by adding bits (bit stuffing) which synchronised the trunks at each level of the PDH.
Multiplexers on the same level of the hierarchy remove the spare bits and are synchronised with each other at that level only.
The 2Mb/s PDH first enters a container C12 which compensates for the varying speeds via the use of stuff bits (R).

- SDH (Synchronous Digital Hierarchy) is a standard technology for synchronous data transmission on optical media.
In digital telephone transmission, "synchronous" means the bits from one call are carried within one transmission frame.
"Plesiochronous" means "almost (but not) synchronous," or a call that must be extracted from more than one transmission frame.

 NADH (North American Digital Hierarchy) (Linktionary term)
In this scheme, a circuit is divided into a continuous stream of time slots and multiple channels are multiplexed into the circuit.
Traditionally, each channel was a digitized voice call, but video information and data may also occupy a channel.
The basic channel is 64 Kbits/sec, which is the amount of bandwidth required to transmit a voice call that has been converted from analog to digital using a sampling rate of 8,000 times per second with the sample represented as an 8-bit value (8 × 8,000 = 64 Kbits/sec).

It was developed to replace the Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy (PDH) system for transporting large amounts of telephone and data traffic and to allow for interoperability between equipment from different vendors.The more recent synchronous digital hierarchy (SDH) standard developed by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is built on experience in the development of SONET.
SONET differs from PDH in that the exact rates that are used to transport the data are tightly synchronized across the entire network, made possible by atomic clocks.
Three OC-1 (STS-1) signals are multiplexed by time-division multiplexing to form the next level of the SONET hierarchy, the OC-3 (STS-3), running at 155.52 Mbit/s.

 IEC: Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH)
This has resulted in new network applications, the deployment of new equipment in new network topologies, and management by operations systems of much greater power than previously seen in transmission networks.
The 1984 breakup of the Bell operating companies (BOCs) in the United States produced competitive pressures that required a standard optical interface for interexchange carriers' use and new features for improved network management.
It was widely accepted that the new multiplexing method should be synchronous and based not on bit interleaving as was the PDH, but on byte interleaving, as are the multiplexing structures from 64 kbps to the primary rates of 1,544 kbps (1.5 Mbps) and 2,048 kbps (2 Mbps).
