摘要:
An asymmetrical and dynamic routing system (ADRS) is provided to enable the dynamic adjustment of the bandwidth capacity of two or more network devices exchanging data. The two or more network devices monitor their current bandwidth demand between themselves and others in a network and a first network device can transmit bandwidth request to a second network device when the first network device reaches transmission bandwidth capacity. Each network device is further configured with additional transmit and receive ports and can be selectively enabled in response to a bandwidth request from other network devices. Each network device is further configured to generate control signals that are sent to optical mirrors to re-direct data signals to or from the one or more enabled additional transmit and receive ports.

A method for generating optical paths in a photonic network is provided. A model of a photonic network is used to store relationship information that describes the relationships between photonic network elements, as well as configuration information about the elements of the photonic network. A path manager receives a request to generate one or more paths based on an input port and one or more output ports. Using the information stored in the photonic network model, the path manager generates one or more candidate paths.

A determination device for an optical wavelength division multiplex communication system configured to set each of different paths each of which is formed by connection of spans each of which is a zone between two adjacent transmission devices, among transmission devices forming a communication network, in the communication network, or a single span in the communication network, for the corresponding one of different wavelengths, and configured to transmit an optical signal of each of the wavelengths via the corresponding path set to the wavelength, the device comprising: determination means for determining whether an optical signal of at least one of the wavelengths is transmittable only to a path, among newly formed paths, for which the number of spans forming the path is equal to or less than a predetermined upper-limit number, in order to transmit one or more optical signals of one or more wavelengths among the wavelengths.

An economical optical network is constituted by effectively using network resources by using the minimum number of, or minimum capacity of 3R repeaters. An optical node device stores a value Q, preset for each link based on optical signal deterioration characteristics in a link between the optical node device itself and an adjacent node. When the optical node device itself is a source node, the optical node device transmits an initial value P of a minuend to a next hop adjacent optical node device. When the optical node device itself receives from a previous hop adjacent optical node device, the initial value P or a minuend value P', which has already been reduced from the initial value P, the optical node device calculates (P-Q) or (P'-Q). The optical node device compares a calculated result with a threshold value. If the calculated result is greater than the threshold value, the optical node device transmits the calculated result to the next hop adjacent optical node device. If the calculated result is less than or equal to the threshold value, the optical node device implements 3R relay of an optical signal that reaches the optical node device itself. When the optical node device itself is not the destination node of an optical path to which the value of the minuend is transmitted, the optical node device transmits the initial value P of the minuend to the next hop adjacent optical node device using the optical node device itself as a 3R source node.

An OLT 1 includes an OLT control unit 2 that generates a control signal for controlling a power saving operation of an ONU 10-1 by specifying a different idle period with respect to a first power saving operation in which an optical receiver 142 is operated while an optical transmitter 141 of the ONU 10-1 is controlled to a power saving state and a second power saving operation for controlling the optical transmitter 141 and the optical receiver 142 to the power saving state, and a station-side transmitter that transmits the control signal generated by the OLT control unit 2 to the ONU. The ONU 10-1 includes an ONU control unit 11 that receives the control signal via the optical receiver 142 to selectively perform the first power saving operation and the second power saving operation based on the idle period specified by the control signal.
摘要:
A frequency assignment method for selecting a frequency width used on a route connecting between a start point and an end point when the start point and the end point of an optical signal are supplied in a photonic network including an optical node that includes an optical switch for switching the optical signal without electrically terminating the optical signal is disclosed. The frequency assignment method includes steps of: obtaining a correlation amount of use state of wavelength or frequency between adjacent links by referring to a route calculation result; determining a fixed frequency width or variable frequency width to be set for a communication route based on the correlation amount; and assigning the fixed frequency width or the variable frequency width on the route.
摘要:
A method for measuring asymmetry in propagation delay of first and second links which connect a first node to a second node of a communication network. The method comprises measuring (101) a round trip delay of the first link. The round trip delay can be measured by transmitting (102) a test signal from the first node to the second node over the first link and receiving a reply to the test signal from the second node over the first link. The method further comprises measuring (105) a round trip delay of the second link. The round trip delay can be measured by transmitting (106) a test signal to the second node over the second link and receiving a reply to the test signal from the second node over the second link. A difference in the propagation delay of the first link with respect to the second link is determined (109) using the measured round trip delays of the first link and the second link.
摘要:
A method of allocating a wavelength to a lightpath in a wavelength multiplex for use in an optical network comprising nodes connected by optical links, wherein the wavelength multiplex is adapted to support lightpaths of two different bitrates. The disclosed method allows for efficient allocation of wavelengths that prevents wasting bandwidth and mitigates detrimental effects of cross-phase modulation.
