    摘要: The present invention relates to an apparatus (10) that allows to characterise or measure the chromatic dispersion in an optical fibre segment (50) by accessing a single end of the fibre itself (50) and measuring the phase shift between modulating signals of impulsive kind generated by a signal generator (12) and the same modulation signals reflected by a remote end of the fibre (51). The invention further relates to the method for measuring the chromatic dispersion of the optical fibre (50). Thanks to the invention, the apparatus (10) does not require an absolute external reference signal and allows to determine the chromatic dispersion of the fibre (50) being measured as the wavelength of the optical signals varies.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a new model for interpreting interferometric measurements, able to lead to a new method, system (10) and device (27) for measuring the PMD (Polarisation Mode Dispersion) of an optical fibre (11). The model, which is based on the theory of propagation of the optical signal as can be determined according to the socalled Prindpal States of Polarisation (PSPs) of the fibre, leads to a new interpretation of the interferogram generated with the interferometric measurements and is characterized in that it identifies in said interferogram a central peak and two side lobes. Thanks to this new model, it is possible to determine the PMD of the fibre based on the information content associated to at least one of the two side lobes identified in the interferogram.

    摘要: Delivering multicast data traffic over a communication network includes a first network node delivering multicast data traffic to second network nodes. The first and second network nodes are connected by a transmission network in a ring architecture and implement a point-to-multipoint layer 2 protocol. A method includes at the first network node: collecting alarms signals indicative of a failure along the whole ring and of the second network nodes. Based on a current state of the alarm signals, delivering the multicast data traffic either in a first delivery direction along the ring, or in a second delivery direction along the ring opposite to the first delivery direction, or in both the first and second delivery directions. At each of the second network nodes: collecting alarm signals indicative of a failure of the transmission network locally to the second network node and of the second network node. Based on a current state of the local alarm signals either receiving the multicast data traffic delivered by the first network node from the first direction, forwarding the multicast data traffic in the first direction and transmitting local data traffic to the first network node along the second delivery direction, or receiving the data traffic delivered by the first network node from the second direction, forwarding the multicast data traffic in the second direction and transmitting the local data traffic to the first network node along the first delivery direction.
