Description

Information transmission equipment, method and system
Technical field
The present invention relates to the optical communication technique field, in particular, the present invention relates to information transmission equipment, the method and system of communicating by letter between the realization network element in a kind of optical-fiber network.
Background technology
At present, the Fibre Optical Communication Technology development is very fast, with wavelength division multiplexing (WDM, Wavelength DivisionMultiplexing) technology has become the developing direction of following high speed transmission network for the Optical Transmission Network OTN with add drop multiplex function and cross connect function on basis has the reconstruct of being easy to, good huge advantage such as autgmentability.The application of described WDM technology is to adopt the available band with optical fiber to be divided into several little channels, and the corresponding wavelength of each channel makes single wavelength transmission become multi-wavelength and transmits simultaneously, thereby increases the transmission capacity of optical fiber greatly.For example, if the transmission rate of each wavelength is 10Gb/s, use 160 wavelength simultaneously in an optical fiber, then the total transmission capacity of optical fiber can reach 10 * 160=1600Gb/s.
The canonical system that WDM technology realizes in Optical Transmission Network OTN is made up of optical multiplexer (optical multiplexer), image intensifer and the optical branching filter (optical demultiplexer) that can extract the independent light wavelength.The optical sender of transmitting terminal sends the light signal that optical wavelength difference and precision and stability can meet certain requirements, through optical multiplexer, erbium-doped fiber amplifier, send into transmission (in the fibre circuit optical line amplifier can be set as required) in the optical fiber, after arriving receiving terminal, amplify through the optical fiber preamplifier, revert to each original road light signal by optical branching filter.
At present, be accompanied by the develop rapidly of WDM technology, the technology relevant with its application also launched, as the network monitoring information transmission technology.The so-called network monitoring information transmission technology is meant between network element and the network element by setting up communication link, and then utilizes the communication link of described foundation to transmit network management monitoring information, and described network management monitoring information comprises performance information, operating state, warning information etc.If wdm system can not carry out effective network monitoring message transmission, will be difficult in wide-scale adoption in the network.
The network monitoring message transmission mainly adopts dual mode in the wdm system at present: Optical Supervisory Channel (OSC, Optical Supervisory Channel) mode and accent top mode (Pilot Tone Modulation)
Optical Supervisory Channel (OSC, Optical Supervisory Channel) mode is mainly used in traditional wdm system, it realizes that principle is that Optical Supervisory Channel adopts an independently wavelength, its data format adopts the E1 frame structure of standard, general speed is 2.048Mb/s, in its frame structure, stipulated the data communication channel (DCC of the similar SDH D1~D12 of system, Data Communication Channels), be used for transmitting the network management monitoring information of wdm system specially, thereby the DCC passage among the OSC (being the DCC byte) is exactly the physical carrier layer of WDM network management monitoring information.
Concrete communication process is briefly described as follows:
Receiving system control of OSC unit and (SCC, the System Control ﹠amp of communicating by letter; Communication) the overhead data frame of unit (also abbreviating main control unit as), after treatment, finish the electric light conversion by light emission module, the monitor data frame is modulated on the OSC wavelength (is generally 1510nm, 1625nm or 1310nm), the OSC wavelength is gone into fibre by optical multiplexer and flashlight after multiplexing and is sent to opposite equip., the opposite end will be imported light with optical branching filter and be divided into flashlight and osc light signal, the Optical Receivers of opposite end OSC unit is finished the opto-electronic conversion of osc light signal then, the monitor data frame that restores is delivered to the SCC unit after treatment and is carried out exchanges data.
With reference to figure 1, clock synchronization is in the clock of an end SCC in this scheme, and when the upstream node of optical fiber generation fracture or certain node breaks down, the clock information of downstream node will be lost, and will be also dumb in the realization.
In addition, utilize Optical Supervisory Channel OSC to transmit network management monitoring information, need take a wavelength, therefore, another shortcoming of this technical scheme is to realize that cost is higher.
And transfer the top mode is monitor message to be superimposed upon transmit on the main business, and it is by on the main business signal of transmitter terminal, and stack one low frequency Sine Modulated by a small margin is as sign; At receiving terminal two signals are effectively separated, different channels adopts different modulating frequencies, differentiates the power level of corresponding light signal in each relay by detecting each frequency modulated signal, thereby realizes the transmission of monitor message.
Utilize and transfer the necessary suitable accent top degree of depth m of determining of jacking row monitor message transmission, described accent top degree of depth m to be meant the peak-to-peak value Vpp of luminous power modulation amplitude and the ratio of " 1 " sign indicating number average light power level Vm, the accurate detection that the top signal is transferred in the too little meeting influence of m; M then can cause bigger influence to the bit error performance of system too greatly.
Industry test and theoretical research show transfers the top modulation that the error code slope of curve is changed, and along with the increase of transferring the top degree of depth, the error code curve becomes more and more milder.This be because the signal power that receives of receiver hour, noise to the contribution of system's error code greater than the contribution of transferring the top to error code; And when the signal power that receives was big, situation was just in time opposite.
Equal 10 negative 12 powers with error rate BER and be as the criterion, transferring top degree of depth m is 5% and 13% o'clock, and receiver sensitivity descends respectively about 0.4dB and 1.0dB; When m further increased, receiver sensitivity can sharply descend, and during as m=18%, receiver sensitivity descends and reaches 2.3dB.As seen, m<=10% o'clock theory and measured result are comparatively identical; M〉then error is bigger after 10%, in addition, m<10% o'clock, the variation of system BER at two orders of magnitude with interior (negative 10 powers of negative 12 powers~10 of 10).Measured result shows: when negative 12 powers of the error rate from 10 changed to 10 negative ten powers, the receiver received power roughly changed 1dB.So transfer the top degree of depth, transfer the influence of pushing up system receiver sensitivity less than 0.5dB 5% when following.
To sum up, the performance index on the main business of this scheme and accent top can not be accomplished the best simultaneously, must sacrifice to some extent in certain scope of acceptable.
Summary of the invention

At step s101, logic module 1 receives the Overhead (SDI_SCC) that SCC sends over, therefrom extract required effective time slot, search for the frame delimiter 7E of HDLC simultaneously, begin to write asynchronous FIFO 1 after finding, behind the frame end delimiter that writes HDLC, close writing of FIFO1 and enable, forbid writing, wait for the arrival of next HDLC frame;
At step s102, logic module 2 judges whether asynchronous FIFO 1 is readable, if readable then, then, read effective time slot that information is inserted OTU side expense from FIFO1, if not readable at step s103, then at step s104, toward effective time slot insertion ' 1 ' of OTU side expense;
At step s105, overhead processing part is formed overhead data with business datum synchronous transfer module signal sends to Optical Transmission Network OTN and is transferred to remote network element at last.
Figure 12 is the flow process that down direction receives information.
At step s200, the synchronous transfer module signal that the overhead processing part receiving lines side of OTU is sent, and extract the monitor message that predetermined overhead byte transmits in the described synchronous transfer module signal;
At step s201, logic module 4 is written to asynchronous FIFO 2 with described monitor message then;
Further at step s202, logic module 3 judges whether asynchronous FIFO 2 is readable, if it is readable, then at step s203, read the monitor message of buffer memory from asynchronous FIFO 2, be packaged into effective time slot that the HDLC protocol frame format is inserted OTU master control side expense then, if not readable, then at step s204, toward effective time slot insertion ' 1 ' of OTU master control borad expense;
At step s203, master control borad SCC receives the monitor message of described HDLC data frame format at last, separates frame and carries out respective handling.
To sum up, the present invention has cancelled the intrinsic clock tracing dependence of the method for synchronization owing to adopt asynchronous system to realize communicating by letter between network element, makes overhead processing send-receive clock territory on same direction independent fully.
