    摘要： An optical bit rate for communication systems. The optical bit rate converter converts an ultra-high speed optical data stream to a lower rate optical data stream. In one embodiment, the optical bit rate converter converts the ultra-high speed optical data stream to a lower rate optical data stream that can be detected and processed electronically. The optical rate converter includes a buffer presenting a repeating optical data bit pattern, an optical sampler presenting an optical sampling bit stream, and an optical correlator. The optical correlator has a first input in communication with the output of the buffer and a second input in communication with the output of the optical sampler. The optical correlator produces a rate-converted optical data bit stream at its output in response to the repeating optical data bit pattern produced by the buffer and the optical sampling bit stream produced by the optical sampler. In one embodiment, the buffer has a data input and stores an optical data bit stream received from a high speed optical data source. In another embodiment, the optical bit rate converter time dilates the repeating optical data bit pattern received from the buffer. In yet another embodiment, the optical bit rate converter demultiplexes the repeating optical data bit pattern received from the buffer. The invention also relates to a method for rate-converting an ultra-high speed optical data stream to a lower rate optical data stream.

    摘要： A Bi-directional Link Self-healing Network (BLSN) for implementing bi-directional link automatic protection switching (APS) for an arbitrary edge or node redundant network and a technique for implementing APS recovery in response to an edge or node failure in a network is described. The BLSN technique does not require permanent allocation of spare capacity for each connection and allows sharing of capacity among many network connections by allocating capacity for use only in the event of a failure. The described technique allows loopback protection to be performed over node or edge redundant networks and operates such that the remains connected after the failure of a node or an edge in the network. The technique makes use of connected directed subgraphs of the network. Also described are techniques for generating the directed subgraphs on node and edge redundant networks having an arbitrary network topology.

    摘要： Indicia are provided to a client of Out-of-Frame errors and message bit parity errors that occur during the transmission of a message through a network, wherein the message includes the client data multiplexed with other data and formatted into a message that includes a plurality of transport overhead bytes. The transport overhead bytes of the multiplexed can include both defined bytes and undefined bytes. Predetermined bytes in the transport overhead may be used to store indicia of errors that are detected during the message transmission. These predetermined bytes are read by the client at the egress of the network. The transport overhead may contain both a section overhead portion and a line overhead portion and the predetermined bytes may be encoded in either a subset of the section or line overhead bytes. In addition, the indicia of errors may be encoded in an undefined portion of the section or line overhead. Alternatively, a portion of the section or line overhead that is defined may be redefined and used to store the encoded error indicia

    摘要： A method of allocating channels and paths to connections along candidate channel-paths in a network, where a candidate channel-path comprises a candidate path and candidate channel along the candidate path, is performed by determining individual effects, on the network, of selecting candidate channel-paths. These include effects on at least one channel-path, other than a candidate channel-path, which shares links with the candidate path. Candidate channel-paths are selected based on the determined effects and allocated. In a preferred embodiment, determination of the effects on the network is based on path capacity. The embodiment can be used where a single connection has been requested, or alternatively, where multiple connections have been requested. A max-sum embodiment selects candidate channel-paths by first calculating a sum of path capacity-dependent values of a set of affected paths in the network for each of plural network states resulting from candidate channel-path allocations, and then selecting the candidate channel-paths yielding a maximum sum.

    摘要： A wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) optical communications network is configured and operated to enable transmitter output power for a given wavelength channel to be adjusted to achieve a desired optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) for the channel independently of the power levels of other optical signals carried on the same path. Optical amplifiers in the optical links extending between the transmitter and an optical receiver are configured to operate with constant gain over a specified range of input optical signal power, and the links are configured such that the power level of the signal provided to each optical amplifier is within the specified range of input signal power to prevent the deep saturation of the optical amplifiers due to optical amplifier cascading. When a channel is being added or adjusted, the OSNR of the optical communications signal received by the receiver is measured, and the power of the signal transmitted by the transmitter is adjusted to attain a desired OSNR at the receiver. Due to the constant-gain operation and input power control of the optical amplifiers, the OSNRs of other signals carried on the path are not affected, so that it is unnecessary to adjust the output power of other transmitters providing signals to the path.
