    摘要: A network management system can be configured to identify routes for satisfying a set of demands on an optical communication network using layer graph(s). The layer graph edges can have edge scores that indicate a cost of the edge. The network management system can generate the layer graph(s) using a network graph that represents the optical communication network and an associated sets of available frequency slots. The network management system can iteratively identify candidate path(s) on the layer graph(s) that correspond to each of the demands and determine a cost for each candidate path using the edge scores. In each iteration, the network management system can select the lowest cost candidate path, update the layer graph(s) based on this selection, and update the candidate paths for the remaining demands as needed. The network management system can similarly generate restoration paths for each of the demands.

    摘要: Systems and methods include receiving (S11) data for a plurality of elements associated with an optical network; determining (S12) an incremental noise penalty for each element of the plurality of elements based on the received data; and storing (S13) the incremental noise penalty for each element of the plurality of elements. The steps can further include determining (S14) Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) across an optical path in the optical network by concatenating associated incremental noise penalties for each element in the optical path along with corrections. The present disclosure includes a fast, nonlinear estimation process with improved accuracy for low loss spans compared to traditional closed-form GN models, as well as a method to determine the coherent nonlinear penalty in an arbitrary concatenation of mixed heterogeneous fibers which is not considered by existing fast nonlinear interference calculation methods.

    摘要: The technology generally relates to determining a status of an optical channel between two components. For example, the components may be connected via an optical link including a plurality of optical channels. A first portion of the optical channels may be in use such that a second portion of the optical channels may be redundant channels. The component may include a test generator that transmits and receives a data pattern over each channel. The test generator may determine, based on the received data pattern, a status of each of the channels. If the status of a given channel is a failure status, the component may divert data for the given channel to a redundant channel.

    摘要: A path protection method includes receiving, by a source node of a first path, a path event notify message from a first node on the first path. The path event notify message includes indication information that the first path is predicted to fail. The path protection method further includes obtaining, by the source node, information about a predicted protection path. The information about the predicted protection path includes resource information of a second path useable to protect a service on the first path. The first path and the second path include the source node and a same sink node. The path protection method further includes storing, by the source node, the resource information of the second path.

    摘要: A 10G rate OLT terminal transceiver integrated chip based on XGPON and EML laser includes: a burst mode receiver RX which amplifies an electrical signal originated each ONU client and processed through a burst mode receiver TIA, processes amplitude and frequency double-detection, and outputs the signal whose amplitude and waveform pulse width met the threshold requirements to a host, and comprises a fast recovery module to meet the timing sequence requirement of the XGPON protocol; a continuous mode transmitter TX which receives the electrical signal attenuated by a PCB board, and selects a bypass BYPASS path or a clock data recovery CDR path according to a degree of attenuation to drive the EML laser; a digital control unit DIGIITAL which provides control signals to the burst mode receiver RX and the continuous mode transmitter TX; and a power module POWER to supply working power to the chip.

    摘要: The present disclosure discloses a protection switching method and a node. The method includes: receiving, by an intermediate node, a first protection switching request message sent by an upstream neighboring node, where the first protection switching request message is used to request to activate a first protection path, and the intermediate node is a node on the first protection path; determining, by the intermediate node, that the first protection path needs to occupy N1 timeslots, and selecting N1 timeslots for the first protection path from N2 available timeslots in a preset order; and sending, by the intermediate node, a second protection switching request message to the downstream neighboring node, where the second protection switching request message is used to request the downstream neighboring node to complete a cross-connection, on the first protection path, between the downstream neighboring node and the intermediate node based on the first group of timeslots.

    摘要: An optical communications apparatus includes a branching unit and a switching module. The branching unit is configured to be connected to first, second, and third optical cables each including an optical fiber. The branching unit includes a branch optical path configured to route a fixed pre-determined range of wavelengths that are input to the branching unit from the optical fiber of the first cable to the optical fiber of the third cable. The switching module includes at least one optical switch having a bypass configuration and a branch connecting configuration. In the bypass configuration, a connection via the branch optical path to a distal portion of the third cable is bypassed. In the branch connecting configuration, the branch optical path is enabled so that the pre-determined range of wavelengths that are input to the branching unit are routed to the optical fiber of the distal portion of the third cable.
