摘要:
The system includes two transmitters (T1, T2) and two receivers (R1, R2). One transmitter (T1) includes a wavelength tunable laser, sending an FSK optical signal (OS1) which has a constant intensity. In a first receiver (R1) this FSK optical signal (OS1) is transformed into an IM signal (OS1') by an optical pass band filter. This IM signal (OS1') is then detected by a first direct detection receiver (DM). In a second direct detection receiver (R2) the FSK optical signal (OS2) is not detected, since it has constant intensity. A second transmitter (T2) includes a Fabry Perot laser or a LED with a broad linewidth, sending an IM optical signal (OS2). This IM optical signal (OS2) is detected by the second direct detection receiver (R2). It is not detected by the first direct detection receiver (DM), because it is strongly attenuated when passing through the narrow bandpass optical filter (TM) before being applied to the first direct detection receiver. This system is especially advantageous in bidirectional optical transmission systems, due to its inherent insensitivity for reflections.

The synchronizing arrangement synchronizes a digital data signal (Din) applied to its data input terminal (Din) with a local clock (CKin) applied to its clock input (CKin). It includes a tuned tapped delay line (TDL) where the local clock (CKin) is delayed, a sampling circuit (DR2,.,DR4) where the digital data signal is sampled using a number of delayed clock signals, a first processing circuit (P) where the middle of a 0 1 0 pattern included in the signal is determined, a second processing circuit P2 where the variation in time of that middle is determined and an output circuit where based on the mentioned middle and variation, one of the delayed clock signals is selected to read the digital data signal. The tuned tapped delay line includes a tapped delay line and a feedback circuit at two inputs of which the input of the tuned tapped delay line and its 90 degrees tap are applied. The output of the feedback circuit is connected to a control input of the tapped delay line.

The time slot management system is included in a digital time division multiple access system comprising a main station MS and a plurlity of substations U1/16 connected to each other by means of a tree network. The substations U1/16 send to the main station MS upstream information packet in time slots assigned to each of the former stations by the latter one. Part of the time slots is reserved for management information and used by the substation to inform the main station about the bandwidth needed for the further transfer of the upstream information. According to this information the time slot management system allocates the time slots and informs the substations thereof. In this way a flexible and dynamical time slot allocation is provided.

To determine the equalisation delay of a substation (S3), the main station (C) of a transmission system measures, during an initial coarse measurement, the time interval between the sending of a first ranging signal to the substation and the receipt of a reply signal. This reply signal has a frequency and amplitude substantially lower than the information signals sent by other substations (S1, S2) of the system to avoid interference therewith. During a subsequent fine measurement the main station measures the time interval between the sending of a second ranging signal and the receipt of a second reply signal having the same characteristics as the information signals. The other substations have to stop transmission of signals during an interval equal to the uncertainty time interval with which the equalisation delay was measured during the coarse measurement. To be able to apply this method, the receiver at the main station includes means to isolate (AZ) the first reply signal from the information signals and to recognize (COR) them, and a processing unit (PU) to determine the equalisation delay.

The method is used in a system comprising a central station (CS) coupled to each of a plurality of terminal stations (TS1-TSn), wherein the central station (CS) is enabled to transmit downstream frames (DS) to the terminal stations to allow the terminal stations to transfer upstream frames (US) to the central station in time slots assigned thereto by means of access grant information (TEA1-TEA4) included in the downstream frames. The downstream frame (DS) is a superframe having a matrix structure with rows and columns, and a first portion and a second portion of the matrix structure is an overhead portion (S, TCB) and an information portion (ATM) respectively. The overhead portion includes the access grant information and the size of the overhead portion is flexibly adaptable. The central station and the terminal stations are adapted to send and to interprete the superframe.
摘要:
The transmission system includes a main station (MS) and a plurality of substations (SS1, .., SS16) which are each coupled to that main station via a respective individual link (l1/l16) and a common link (lc) and wherein first and second information packets are transmitted from substation transmitters (STR) to a main station receiver (MREC) and from a main station transmitter (MTR) to substation receivers (SREC) respectively. The main station includes a transmission timer arrangement (TTM) to time the operation of the main station transmitter and of each of the substation transmitters to avoid concurrent receipt by each one of the substation receivers of a second information packet sent thereto and of disturbing packets resulting from a first information packet sent by the corresponding substation transmitter. These disturbing packets can be reflected first packets or can result from crosstalk between the substation transmitter and the corresponding substation receiver.

To admit network terminals (NT1, NT2, NT3, NT4) which are coupled to a central station (CS) in a multipoint-to-point network to log-in or to become operational, network terminal identifiers (TI_a, ..., TI_h) are partitioned in groups (G1, G2). One (G1) of the groups (G1, G2) is selected and only network terminals (NT3) having a network terminal identifier (TI_b) which forms part of the selected group (G1) are admitted to transmit a terminal identification message (TIM_NT3) towards the central station (CS) to attempt to become operational. The method is very efficient in case a large amount of network terminals attempt to log-in simultaneously. This happens for instance at initialisation of the network or after a network crash.
摘要:
To allocate time slots to terminal stations (T1 ... Ti ... Tn) for transmission of upstream burst (UB) in a network system wherein a central station (CS) is coupled to a plurality of terminal stations (T1 ... Ti ... Tn), the central station (CS) downstream transmits access grant information (AGI) which forms part of downstream frames (DF). Each terminal station (Ti) is equipped with a cyclic local grant counter (LGC) which generates a local grant counter value between zero and a predetermined limit, and which is synchronized with a cyclic master grant counter (MGC) included in the central station (CS). The upstream time slots are bounded by two zero crossings of the cyclic local grant counter (LGC) and a terminal station (Ti) is allowed to transfer an upstream burst (UB) in such a time slot provided that this time slot is allocated to the terminal station (Ti) via previously received access grant information (AGI).
摘要:
Optical transceiver arrangement to transmit information signals (S1, ., Sn) from a transmitter arrangement (T) to a receiver arrangement (R) over an optical waveguide (L). This is achieved by modulating electrical subcarrier waveforms with these information signals (S1, ., Sn) using modulation means (M1, ., Mn), converting them to optical signals using electrical/optical convertors (E/O1, ., E/O1n), and by transmitting these optical signals, by means of time division multiplexing means (TDM1, ., TDMn), in different time slots if the subcarrier waveforms have the same frequency. The modulation- and time division multiplexing means are controlled by corresponding individual control modules (C1, ., Cn) under control of a central control module (CC) included in the receiver arrangement.
