Description

Optical network unit and optical line terminal
Technical field
The present invention relates to optical-fiber network, more particularly, to EPON.
Background technology
With advanced multimedia extensive application, such as 3D TV, Telemedicine, game on line, interdynamic video electricity The exploitation of the applications such as son study, has huge growth to the demand of bandwidth.PON2 (NG-PON2) of future generation is as Long Term Evolution PON solution it is intended to improve multi-plexing light accessing system ability preferably to support these bandwidth applications, it is just as a heat Point subject under discussion, by portion of international telecommunication union telecommunication (ITU-T) and FSAN (Full Service Access Network, Abbreviation FSAN) tissue discussed.Most operator wishes that NG-PON2 can provide bigger bandwidth, higher splitting ratio (more than 1: 64), longer transmission range and more preferable access capability.At present, ITU-T and FSAN is finally determining NG- The demand of PON2, available bandwidth is increased to 40Gb/s speed.
In the technical scheme having been proposed that, TWDM-PON is considered as to NG-PON2 by nearest FSAN meeting Primary solutions, wherein, 4 10G-PON (XG-PON) are stacked and have 1: 64 splitting ratio, and this can obtain Obtain the convergence speed of down direction 40Gbps and up direction 10GGbps.In single wavelength, TWDM-PON has reused XG-PON Descending multiplexing and multi-upstream access technology, time slot granularity, multicast capability and Bandwidth sharing mechanism.
Current TWDM-PON system architecture is that optical line terminal (OLT) is connected to remote node (RN) by optical fiber, far Cheng Jiedian is connected to optical network unit (ONU) by optical fiber again.
In TWDM-PON system, often need to carry out being in communication with each other between ONU.In current system, this is mutual The communication information is modulated on optical signal by ONU, is sent to OLT by up direction, stands light-to-current inversion at OLT, is formed Electric signal.This electric signal is buffered and scheduled then, is then modulated on certain wavelength, under suitable time slot passes through again Related ONU is sent on line direction.It can be seen that, due to needing to carry out the operation such as optical-electrical-optical conversion, caching, scheduling, this technical side Case creates larger communication delay.And, the load of OLT also can be remarkably increased because of the operation such as light-to-current inversion, caching, Have impact on the performance of system.Below in these scenes, these postpone especially sensitive:
In LTE-A mobile retransmission (backhaul) network based on PON technology, base station (eNodeB) wishes to pass through logic X2 interface, it is in communication with each other with the speed of the delay less than 1 millisecond and Gb/s rank and other base stations, thus carrying out collaborative many The related operation of antenna, for example, precoding across base band carries out data exchange, etc..But, in existing TWDM-PON knot In structure, the interconnection between base station be based on ONU between be in communication with each other realization, due to due to aforementioned, this is in communication with each other and is subject to The delayed impact that optical-electrical-optical conversion, caching etc. lead to.This delay can not meet strict in LTE-A network end-to-end prolong Demand late.
In addition, TWDM-PON network needs splitting ratio no less than 1: 64 and it needs to distance (long reach) function, This means to need to dispose more ONU, thus can there are more ONU intercommunications, what therefore ONU was in communication with each other always prolongs Also can increase late, this has negative impact to the application of the delay sensitives such as game on line, video conference.
Content of the invention
There is in the industry several methods realizing the intercommunication of ONU in TDM-PON and TWDM-PON, their skill Art main points and shortcoming are listed below:
1. send ONU and be in communication with each other using special emitter and wavelength on ONU.The shortcoming of this implementation It is to need to take extra wavelength, and be also required to newly-increased extra light source etc., thus increased the cost of ONU;
2., in optical distributed network (ODN), optical route reflection is carried out to being in communication with each other between ONU.For example, exist Remote node (RN) in ODN is upper to arrange the star-type coupler of 2Nx2N or the loopback array waveguide grating (AWG) of multiport.This Kind of implementation the disadvantage is that, needing RN is modified, and operator is generally not desirable to change already disposed remote Cheng Jiedian.
The business in ODN, ONU being in communication with each other carries out route reflection, and this also has one disadvantage in that:These communications cannot be by OLT is controlled, and this can lead to operator effectively cannot directly control this to be in communication with each other, for example, cannot count flow, meter Take etc..Accordingly, it is desirable to be able to realize the controlled ONU of OLT to be in communication with each other mechanism.
In order to solve above technical problem if it is possible to provide a kind of full light of ONU of low cost to be in communication with each other technology, and This communication can be controlled by OLT, then will be advantageous to improve the performance of PON.
At least in part from the above considerations, the inventive concept of the present invention is, by being in communication with each other between ONU and ONU- The upstream data of OLT is sequentially multiplexed together, and is transmitted by communication wavelengths (i.e. upstream wavelength).And at OLT end, at that time Divide ground that the information that is in communication with each other and upstream data are demultiplexed, the optical signal of upstream data is detected, and is in communication with each other Optical signal is reflected to corresponding ONU.
The more preferred inventive point of the present invention can be listed below:
1., in ONU end, by an electric combiner, the information that upstream data and ONU are in communication with each other is with a time delay For interval, merge into an information flow.This information flow is directly used in and controls the tunable laser with certain communication wavelengths, to produce The upstream data being multiplexed in a time division manner and the mixing uplink optical signal being in communication with each other are modulated.This upstream data and being in communication with each other Shared this communication wavelengths (upstream wavelength).
2. at OLT end, using an automatically controlled photoswitch, according to above time delay by time-multiplexed upstream data and The optical signal that ONU is in communication with each other is demultiplexed.
3. the optical signal of demultiplexing upstream data out is sent to uplink receiver and carries out normally up detection.
4. the optical signal that demultiplexing ONU out is in communication with each other passes through array waveguide grating, and similarly demultiplexes out , the optical signal being in communication with each other that other ONU send in other communication wavelengths carry out wavelength-division multiplex again.Then pass through single light Fibre uniformly returns to all ONU again.
5. at ONU, in order to receive being in communication with each other from other ONU, ONU has an adjustable wave filter, to select Select the communication wavelengths that its ONU to be received is in communication with each other place.Can support that between PON, (ONU belongs to different upstream wavelengths (communication wavelengths) group) ONU be in communication with each other that (ONU belongs to same upstream wavelength it is also possible to support the ONU in PON to be in communication with each other (communication wavelengths) group).
