摘要:
A method is disclosed of reconfiguring a ring optical network made using a single optical fiber (100). A traffic concentrator (120) and stations (140) are optically connected to the fiber. The concentrator sends a light signal to and receives a light signal from both ends of the fiber using two groups of wavelengths (110, 150) in order to be able to communicate with all the stations. When the network is established, a virtual break (170) is created between two stations. If a real break is detected in the optical fiber, then the virtual break is shifted until it coincides with the real break, thereby enabling traffic to be re-established between the concentrator and the stations. Each station is equipped with a three-state optical switch (400) for changing the direction of the light signals.

The present invention relates to a method of monitoring the transmission of optical signals including a step of inserting a monitoring signal (S) more particularly suited to monitoring the quality of service. During the transmission of optical signals each carried by a predefined wavelength defining a transmission channel (Ci), said signals are grouped onto the same fiber in a band (B) of channels. The method then includes a step of simultaneously modulating said signals grouped in the band of channels using the monitoring signal to be transmitted, so that each of the signals constitutes a carrier of the monitoring signal.

The present invention relates to the field of optical telecommunications networks, and more particularly to a method and to devices for backing up a ring optical telecommunications network. The method of the invention corresponds to a method of backing up a ring optical telecommunications network including a traffic concentrator (1) and a communications node (N3) interconnected by an optical fiber (2) (s1, s2) transported in the fiber and addressed to the node. The method of the invention comprises the following successive steps: while the network is being set up, a step of creating a virtual break (C) between the concentrator and the node; and when an at least partial real break in the fiber is detected that limits or interrupts the transmission of the signals to the node, a step of displacing the virtual break so that it coincides with the real break so as to re-establish the reception of the optical signals by the node.

A device for erasing overhead modulation of an optical signal, wherein said optical signal is injected into an optical device able to modulate the optical signal (for example a semi-conductor optical amplifier driver by a bias control) and for which one an automatic gain control does not need to detect the residual overhead modulation, is characterised in that said bias control means applies to said amplifier a compensation voltage presenting a modulation out of phase with respect to said overhead modulation, and in that modulation index of said compensation voltage is (substantially) proportional to the modulation index of said optical signal.

A ring optical transmission network access node (ANi) comprises: two identical band splitters (BSa, BSb), each provided with homologous first, second and third ports (Ba, BWa, BPa; Bb, BWb, BPb), a first coupler (CW) coupling the second port (BWb) of the second splitter (BSb), on the one hand, to the second port (BWa) of the first splitter (BSa) via a first channel and, on the other hand, to an access point (A2) via a second channel, a second coupler (CP) coupling the third port (BPa) of the first splitter (BSa), on the one hand, to the third port (BPb) of the second band splitter (BSb) via a first channel and, on the other hand, to another access point (A1) via a second channel. Such nodes enable the implementation of a passive ring network comprising only one fiber and in which the coupling ratios of the couplers (CW, CP) are optimized for two opposite traffic propagation directions.Application in particular to optical fiber metropolitan access networks, with broken fiber protection device.
摘要:
In order to switch selectively via a packets switching matrix waiting in the input modules (IMi) to address output modules, an arbitration function (CSC) selects by successive cycles, from all the pairs of input and output modules, separate subsets. Each cycle comprises p successive phases (x) associated respectively to p arbitration functions. Processing units (PUi) each execute the p functions, each function acting on three parameters termed “residual required quantity”, “input capacity” and “output capacity”, the values of which are related to a single pair and are set at the start of the cycle. Each phase consists of N successive steps (y) associated respectively to said subsets, each step being executed in parallel by the processing units (PUi) in order to calculate by means of the arbitration functions the “partial” accepted quantity values and to reset the parameters for the next step. Application to telecommunication networks, particularly multiservice.
摘要:
A packet-switched communications network (PSN) includes a multiplicity of nodes (Ni) adapted to switch streams of packets benefiting from circuit emulation services, known as CES packets. The network uses a particular method of resynchronizing the CES streams. According to that method, for a CES stream intended to take an associated path (CE) from an ingress node (N1) passing through a set of nodes including a subset of nodes adapted to resynchronize CES streams selectively, effective resynchronization of said stream by a node selected from said subset is conditioned by a value representative of the cumulative jitter suffered by said stream as far as that node.
摘要:
An optical telecommunications network (1000), of metropolitan area type, having a ring type core (10), and secondary rings (41, 42; 43, 44). In each sending access node (11), transmitters (111) for sending information-carrying optical signals use a wavelength belonging to a group of wavelengths dedicated to the secondary ring (41, 42) to which this sending access node (11) is connected. In each destination access node (21), receivers (212) are capable of receiving all the wavelengths used by sending nodes (11) of the network. Communication nodes (1, 2) comprise all-optical devices (100, 101, 10; 201, 20) for inserting, into the core fiber (10), optical signals sent by a sending access node connected to the communication nodes. Optical couplers (31, 32), for taking from the core fiber (10) a so-called representative signal formed of a fraction of the power of each information-carrying signal, are respectively coupled to the receivers of the destination nodes.
