摘要:
The present invention relates to an add drop multiplexer related to the synchronous multiplexing method, and includes a pass-through line connecting unit, which is driven by a timing signal extracted from a signal received through a transmission line and effects branching and insertion of the line as well as connection of pass-through lines at multiplexed levels; an office line connecting unit having an office interface function for each of other devices in a same office; a first frame aligner connecting multiplex branched signals from the pass-through line connecting unit with the office line connecting unit; and a second frame aligner connecting multiplex inserted signals from the office line connecting unit with the pass-through line connecting unit. In this way, since the whole pass-through line connecting unit can be driven only with the timing signal extracted from the received signal from the transmission line and the frame aligner can be removed from the path of the signal through the pass-through lines, it is possible to reduce the signal delay in the pass-through lines within the add drop multiplexer.

A communication system is provided which allows synchronous devices in different synchronous communication networks to have synchronous communications with one another via an asynchronous communication network. In the communication system of the present invention, a master communication device generates a master clock based on a reference clock which is provided by a clock supplier. The master communication device sends a synchronization information frame, which contains information about the generated master clock, to plural slave communication devices via the asynchronous communication network. The slave communication devices each reproduce the master clock from the received synchronization information frame.

An optical transmission system accomplishes optical transmission to a long distance by combining a multiplexing line terminal with optical amplifiers, linear repeaters, and regenerators with optical amplifiers combined together. The system also accomplishes the optical transmission to a short distance by directly connecting the linear terminals therebetween, with an electric-to-optic converter replaced by an electric-to-optic converter having a semiconductor amplifier, with an optic-to-electric converter by an optic-to-electric converter having an avalanche photodiode as light receiver, an with no use of any optical booster amplifier and optical preamplifier in the multiplexing line terminal. With these, the optical transmission system can be easily constructed depending on the transmission distance required.

A multiplex conversion unit is configured with the functions required for a specific network to which it is applicable more economically. Each OC-12IF circuit pack includes a switch for performing time slot assignment (TSA) between a plurality of high-speed transmission lines accommodated in the OC-12IF circuit pack and at least a low-speed transmission line accommodated in at least a DS3IF circuit pack. An ADM circuit pack includes a switch for performing time slot interchange (TSI) between the high-speed transmission lines and the low-speed transmission line. In an application to a network requiring the TSI function, the switch of the OC-12IF circuit pack performs only the add/drop multiplex (ADM) operation between the signals input/output by the high-speed transmission lines and the ADM circuit pack, and the switch on the ADM circuit pack performs the TSI operation. In an application not requiring the TSI, on the other hand, the TSA operation is performed by the switch of the OC-12IF circuit pack using a THRU circuit pack having a wiring connecting the OC-12IF circuit pack and a DS3IF circuit pack in place of the ADM circuit pack.

A method and apparatus of tracing VP's (virtual paths) wherein operational information of VP connectors are collected through OAM (operation and maintenance) cells. The VP connectors establish a connection at a VP level within a network in which the cells are transferred in an ATM (asynchronous transfer mode). Each VP connector detects an OAM cell for VP tracing as received from another of the VP connectors, and judges if an area for affixing the operational information in the VP connector itself exists in the detected OAM cell. In the VP connector when the area exists, the detected OAM cell is specified to be the OAM cell for writing the operational information thereinto, and the specified OAM cell is sent out after affixing the operational information thereto. When the area does not exit, the OAM cell received from the other VP connector is sent out after indicating therein that the received OAM cell is not the rearmost cell, the OAM cell for the VP tracing is generated anew, and the generated cell is sent out after indicating therein that the generated OAM cell is the rearmost cell. Also the operational information is affixed to newly generated OAM cell.

In order that the various ring-switching modes of 2-Fiber BLSR, 4-Fiber BLSR and UPSR may be switched merely by changing a software, space division switches are disposed across an add drop switch, and one output drop switch and one output of the second space division switch are connected with the input stage of a selector which can be selected at the unit of a time slot. As a result, the various ring-switching modes can be switched merely by changing the software while suppressing the scale of the switch. Moreover, the change from the ring switch to the linear switch and vice versa can be effected.

A method and an apparatus for converting a frame phase of a signal having a frame structure specified in the CCITT recommendations which contains N (N: an integer 2 or above) pieces of frames applied with time-division/multiplex, in which the N pieces of frames are given to N pieces of memories, respectively, a write address is given independently to each memory so that the N pieces of frames are written in the respective memories in a same phase as the phase in the signal, a read address is given independently to each memory so that the N pieces of frames are read out of the respective memories in a same phase as the write phase, a difference between a write address and a read address in each memory is set identical under an initial state, and justification is executed for a frame which is read out of the memory in accordance with a difference between existing write address and read address in each memory, whereby to perform frame phase conversion while maintaining relative phase among respective frames.
摘要:
A method for transmitting virtual path failure information in an asynchronous transfer mode network the method includes performing search against a table storing virtual paths being used for generating failure indicative cells for respective ones of the virtual paths when failure of a transmission line is detected. The generated failure indicative cells are transmitted to all of the other apparatuses connected in downstream signal transmitting directions through the virtual path sequentially for a number of predetermined times, and subsequently, intermittently with an interval of a given period of time. When failure is removed, a normal cell is immediately transmitted.

A CMI block synchronization circuit includes a clock deriving circuit, CMI decoding circuit, signal selection determining circuit and a selection circuit. In the clock deriving circuit, a clock CLK.sub.o having the same phase as a binary signal and a clock CLK.sub..pi. having a phase which is different 180.degree. from the clock CLK.sub.o are derived from an inputted CMI code signal. In the CMI decoding circuit, the inputted CMI code signal is decoded by using the clocks derived and violating bits are detected. In the signal selection determining circuit, the clocks CLK.sub.o and CLK.sub..pi. are counted respectively. Only when one of the count values is equal to or higher than a setting value and another count value is lower than another setting value is it regarded that a block asynchronization is caused in decoding the CMI code signal. In this case, the decoded output being selected until that time is changed over to another decoded output, whereby the block synchronization is retained even during burst errors.
