Description
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of optical fiber communication technologies, and in particular, to a method and an apparatus for monitoring an optical fiber link.
Background
With the continuous development of optical fiber communication technology and the massive laying of optical fibers, optical fiber communication becomes an important mode of modern information transmission, provides huge transmission bandwidth for communication networks, and becomes the most important transmission means of information networks. The new generation of optical transport networks is developing towards "high speed, large capacity, convergence, intelligence", and in the high speed and large capacity, 100G is already in commercial scale, and 400G is also accelerating standardization and starting to be in commercial use. There is an increasing interest in the rapid, stable and reliable transmission of information. In this case, if the optical fiber line of the optical transmission network is interrupted by an unexpected fault, huge social impact and immeasurable economic loss will be caused. Practical working experience has shown that line faults in fiber optic communications are more prominent than equipment faults.
An Optical Time-Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) is the most common Optical fiber line measuring instrument, and detects the attenuation and disconnection point of an Optical fiber line by detecting the backward rayleigh scattered light of a measured Optical fiber. Conventional OTDRs inject optical pulses into an optical fiber as a probe signal. When the optical pulse propagates along the optical fiber, the backward scattering part of rayleigh scattering at each position continuously returns to the incident end of the optical fiber, when the optical signal encounters a fracture in the light, fresnel reflection is generated, and the backward reflection light also returns to the incident end of the optical fiber. The loss characteristics, the length, the breakpoint fault position and the like of the optical fiber can be quantitatively measured by detecting the size and the arrival time of the back scattering light at the input end through a proper optical circulator and a photoelectric detector with high-speed response.
The traditional optical fiber line maintenance mode is that after an optical fiber line is in an obstacle, a machine room attendant determines a fault line section according to equipment alarm information, then an optical time domain reflectometer is used for measuring in the section to determine a fault point, and finally a line emergency repair worker is informed to rush to a specific site for emergency repair. The traditional optical fiber line maintenance method is excessively dependent on manpower, has low efficiency and is difficult to ensure the smoothness of a high-speed, broadband and large-capacity optical transmission network. Therefore, a technical means is urgently needed to realize real-time online monitoring of the optical fiber line and timely discover and forecast the hidden optical fiber trouble so as to improve the operation quality of the optical transmission network and reduce the complexity and cost of maintaining the optical fiber link.

The structure of the composite frame is determined according to the data length calculation of the service information buffer queue (buffer 200). The structure of the composite frame may be a fixed composite frame structure or a variable composite frame structure. When the composite frame structure is a fixed composite frame structure, periodically sending composite frame information to a composite frame generator, wherein the proportion of the detection sequence and the service information in the composite frame is fixed, namely: each composite frame is identical in structure. When the composite frame structure is variable, the composite frame structure may be any one of those shown in fig. 2 a-c, that is, if there is no service information in the buffer queue, there is only a probe sequence in the composite frame; if the bit length required for sending the service information in the cache queue is less than the threshold value, the composite frame has the service information; and if the bit length required for sending the service information in the cache queue is greater than the threshold value, only the service information is in the composite frame.
The controller 207 is further configured to determine a start time of sampling by the sampler 209 based on the composite frame structure information. If there is no sounding sequence in the composite frame, no sampling instruction is sent to the sampler 209; if there is a sounding sequence in the composite frame, a sampling instruction is sent to the sampler 209, where the sampling instruction includes: sampling is carried out at the moment when the detection sequence of each composite frame starts to be injected into the optical fiber, and the sampling time length is the time length of the detection sequence.
And the buffer 200 is respectively connected to the controller 207 and the composite frame generator 201, and is configured to receive the service information and buffer the service information, and report the length of the service information to the controller 207 whenever the controller 207 polls the length of the service information.
The detection sequence generator 206 is connected to the controller 207 and the composite frame generator 201, respectively, and is configured to generate a corresponding pseudo-random sequence as a detection sequence for optical fiber link detection according to a detection sequence parameter given by the controller 207, and send the generated detection sequence to the composite frame generator 201 connected thereto. Wherein the detection sequence generator 206 obtains different detection sequences by adjusting the chip width and chip rate of the pseudo-random sequence.
And a composite frame generator 201, connected to the buffer 200, the probe sequence generator 206, the controller 207 and the laser 202, respectively, for combining the service signal and the probe sequence into a composite frame according to the composite frame structure information sent from the controller 207, and sending the composite frame to the laser 207.
A laser 202 (including a driving module) connected to the composite frame generator 201, for performing photoelectric conversion on the electrical signal sent from the composite frame generator 201, and sending the optical signal to the optical fiber 204; the OSC service information receiver 205 receives the service information normally.
And the photoelectric detector 208 is respectively connected with the controller 207 and the sampler 209, backward Rayleigh scattering signals and reflection signals of the optical fibers enter the photoelectric detector 208 through the optical circulator 203, and the photoelectric detector 208 receives the backward Rayleigh scattering signals and the reflection signals of the optical fibers, performs photoelectric conversion and amplifies electric signals.
And the sampler 209 is respectively connected with the photodetector 208, the controller 207 and the filter 210, and is configured to convert the analog signal output by the photodetector 208 into a digital signal, and start sampling at a starting time after receiving a sampling instruction from the controller 210, where each sampling time is a time length of the detection sequence.
A filter 210, coupled to the sampler 209, the controller 207 and the processor 211, respectively, for low pass filtering the sampled data. The passband bandwidth of the filter 210 is adjusted according to the passband bandwidth parameters given by the controller 210. For example, in the large dynamic monitoring range mode, the passband bandwidth is 1 MHz; in the high spatial resolution monitoring mode, the passband bandwidth is 50 MHz.
And the processor 211 is connected to the controller 207 and the filter 210, respectively, and is configured to implement data processing procedures such as data averaging, correlation calculation, event detection, and the like, and report a data processing result. For example, the processor 210 first averages the filtered data for 100,000 times, then generates a local reference sequence for cross-correlation with the averaged data according to the probe sequence information sent from the controller 207, and convolves the two to complete the correlation calculation. And finally, carrying out event detection on the related calculated data, and reporting the optical fiber link information.
The controller 207 performs abnormal event detection on the link information reported by the processor 211, and when the abnormal event does not exist in the link information reported by the processor 211, the controller 207 adjusts the detection sequence to adopt a 10-level m sequence, and the passband bandwidth parameter of the filter is set to be 1 MHz; and monitoring the optical fiber link again. If the reported link information has an abnormal event, the detection sequence adopts a 16-level m sequence, and the passband bandwidth parameter of the filter is set to be 50 MHz; and monitoring the optical fiber link again.
As shown in fig. 3, this embodiment further relates to a method for monitoring an Optical fiber link by using the monitoring apparatus, where the OTDR performs online monitoring of the Optical fiber link by using an OSC (Optical Supervisory Channel) service Channel, and the composite frame structure may be dynamically adjusted according to the traffic information flow, and the specific steps are as follows:
generating a pseudo-random sequence with adjustable chip width and chip rate according to the length and the state of the optical fiber link, and using the pseudo-random sequence as a detection sequence for monitoring the optical fiber link.
In this embodiment, an m-sequence is used as the detection sequence of the OTDR, and the m-sequence period time length NTc is the product of the number N of chips in one period of the m-sequence and the m-sequence chip width Tc. The OSC traffic channel rate is 125Mbps, each bit width is 8ns, so each chip width can only be an integer multiple of 8 ns. The number N of chips of the m sequence can only be 2n-1, wherein n is a positive integer greater than 2.
According to the basic principle of the correlation measurement, if the information of the whole optical fiber link is completely obtained, the duration NTc of one period of the m-sequence is at least longer than the duration of the backward rayleigh scattering impact response of the optical fiber. For the duration of the backward Rayleigh scattering impulse response of the fiber, it can be L/vgPerforming a calculation, wherein L is a designed monitoring length of the optical fiber link, vgIs the group velocity of light propagation, and is about 2X 108m/s in terms of typical refractive index; in this embodiment, the optical fiber link with at least 100km length is monitored, and the monitored length is designedWhich is 120km, the duration NTc of one period of the m-sequence is at least 1.2 ms.
Under the condition that the above conditions are met, theoretically, any m sequence can be selected as the detection sequence, but the measurement time, the dynamic range and the spatial resolution are in a mutual constraint relation. In the embodiment, under the condition that the minimum measurement time is not changed, the large dynamic range monitoring and the high spatial resolution monitoring are realized by changing the chip width Tc, and the performances of the large dynamic range monitoring and the high spatial resolution monitoring are considered. Comprehensively considering, a 10-level m sequence (N is 1,023) is selected as a detection sequence, and the chip width is 1,536ns as the detection sequence in the large dynamic range mode; a 16-level m-sequence (N65,535) is selected as the detection sequence, a chip width of 24ns is the detection sequence in the high spatial resolution mode, and the single measurement time of both is 4.72 ms.
The selection of the detection sequence is determined according to the link information of the last measurement, and if no abnormal reflection point (abnormal event) exists, a large dynamic range mode is selected to monitor all information of the whole optical fiber; and if the abnormal reflection point exists, selecting a high spatial resolution mode to accurately position the abnormal reflection point. The first measurement uses a large dynamic range mode.
If a larger optical fiber link length needs to be monitored, increasing the chip width of a pseudo-random sequence (detection sequence) and reducing the chip rate of the pseudo-random sequence so as to improve the dynamic range of the monitoring system; if a certain abnormal point needs to be accurately positioned, the chip width of the pseudo-random sequence needs to be reduced, and the chip rate of the pseudo-random sequence needs to be increased, so that the spatial resolution of the monitoring system is improved. When the optical fiber link is measured for the first time, the monitoring system preferentially obtains a monitoring mode with a large dynamic range so as to cover the whole optical fiber link. And when in normal measurement, the chip width is flexibly and dynamically changed according to the monitoring requirement.
And step two, combining the detection sequence and the service information into a composite frame according to the service flow. The structure of the composite frame is shown in fig. 2 a-c, and the structure and length of the composite frame are determined by the flow of the current service information. The arriving OSC service information is buffered in a service information queue (buffer), and after the last composite frame is sent, the service information queue in the buffer has new service information, and the length of the service information queue reflects the current traffic information flow. The step of synthesizing a composite frame each time is as follows,
first, the bit length L required to transmit all the traffic information queues to the channel is calculateds，
Secondly, according to LsAnd the set traffic information length threshold LthAnd synthesizing a composite frame. The composite frame structure is dynamically adjusted according to the traffic of the service information:
if L issIf it is 0, it indicates that there is no service data in the service information queue of the buffer area, and there is no service information in the last time period, so there is no need to transmit service information, and only length L in the composite framePA sounding sequence of 589,824 bits (4.72 ms in length) as shown in fig. 2 a.
If 0 < Ls≤LthThen, the length is L in the composite framesAll service information and length L ofPIs a sounding sequence of 589,824 bits, as shown in fig. 2 b.
If L isth＜LsIf so, it indicates that the traffic information flow is large, and at this time, the composite frame no longer includes the probe sequence, but only has a length of LsAs shown in fig. 2 c.
Service information length threshold LthThe value is a fixed value, and needs to be set in advance according to the average service flow condition of the optical fiber link to be measured, in this embodiment, Lth589,824, that is, the traffic information threshold length is the same as the probe sequence length.
And converting the composite frame digital sequence into an electric pulse sequence through a pulse shaping filter.
And step three, converting the electric signal of the composite frame into an optical signal by the laser and sending the optical signal to the optical fiber. The average transmitted power of the optical signal was 3dBm and the extinction ratio was 10 dB. The OSC receiver normally receives OSC service signals, backward Rayleigh scattering occurs in the optical fiber for detection signals, and Fresnel reflection occurs at a reflection point. The backward Rayleigh scattering signal and the reflection signal of the optical fiber enter the photoelectric detector through the circulator to be subjected to photoelectric conversion.
And step four, sampling by a sampler at the moment when the detection sequence starts to be injected into the optical fiber in each composite frame, and controlling the sampler to stop sampling at the end moment of each composite frame. In the high spatial resolution mode, the chip rate of the probe sequence is about 42Mchip/s, and in the high dynamic range mode, the chip rate of the probe sequence is 6.54kchip/s, so the sampling rate is set to 125MSa/s, which is 3 times the highest chip rate. After the output signal of the photoelectric detector is sampled, the backward Rayleigh scattering signal and the reflection signal of the optical fiber are changed into digital signals from analog signals.
Step five, performing digital low-pass filtering on the adopted digital signal, wherein the bandwidth of the filter depends on the chip rate of the detection sequence, the chip rate of the detection sequence is 6.54kchip/s in a large dynamic range mode, the requirement on the spatial resolution is low, and noise is required to be filtered as much as possible, so the passband cut-off frequency of the digital low-pass filter is 1 MHz; in the high spatial resolution mode, the chip rate of the detection sequence is 42Mchip/s, the requirement on the spatial resolution is high, and therefore the passband cut-off frequency of the digital low-pass filter is 50 MHz.
And step six, repeating the step three to the step five to carry out multiple measurements, and carrying out accumulation averaging on the data after the multiple measurements. And accumulating the data after each filter and the data stored in the previous time, storing the result, and averaging the data in the memory when the actual measurement times reach 100,000 times of measurement in a preset design.
And seventhly, performing correlation calculation on the averaged data and the local reference sequence. The local reference sequence needs to be preprocessed before the correlation calculation is performed. The optical power can only be positive, so the detection optical sequence can only be unipolar, and according to the m-sequence correlation principle, if the optical fiber link information can be recovered, at least one of the detection sequence and the local correlation sequence should be a bipolar sequence. Therefore, the local reference sequence needs to be subjected to polarity conversion, namely, unipolar conversion is carried out, and the pseudo-random detection sequence generated by the pseudo-random sequence generator is S, namely, the local reference sequence is 2 xS-1.
Because the sampling rate is higher than the chip rate and each probe sequence chip corresponds to multiple sample points, the length of the local reference sequence needs to be extended to match the sampled data. In the high resolution mode, the sampling rate is 3 times the chip rate, so that the chips of each acquisition sequence correspond to 3 sampled data points. For example, if the local reference sequence length is "1-11" before being extended, then the padded reference sequence is "111-1-1-1111". I.e. the sequence length should be extended by a factor of 3 by inserting two identical values after the value in each sequence. In the large dynamic range mode, the sample rate is 192 times the chip rate, so the local reference sequence length is extended 192 times.
And reversing the expanded local reference sequence to complete local sequence preprocessing. And convolving the preprocessed local reference sequence with the averaged sampling data to obtain a convolved sequence, wherein the convolved sequence is a cross-correlation sequence of the local reference sequence and the sampling data. If using SLRepresenting the preprocessed local reference sequence, and R represents the averaged sample data sequence, the specific calculation formula of the cross-correlation sequence c (n) is as follows:
wherein, the parameters mn in the above formula are the numbers of the data.
And step eight, extracting the optical fiber link information from the mutual sequence obtained by the correlation calculation.
Since practical lasers do not have infinite extinction ratios, there is also a need to eliminate the effect of non-idealities in the extinction ratio on the dynamic range. Taking the data sequence between the end position of the fiber backward Rayleigh scattering response and the third peak value after the second peak value is taken from the cross-correlation sequence, averaging the data sequence to obtain an average value Nb. For each data and N in the correlation sequencebAnd (4) performing subtraction to eliminate the influence of the non-ideal extinction ratio on the dynamic range. And intercepting the data of the second peak to the third peak in the cross-correlation sequence as effective data of the optical fiber link measurement. And (4) carrying out event detection on the effective data by using a least square method, and analyzing and recording abnormal events. According to the sampling time and the propagation of light in the fibreAnd determining the spatial position corresponding to each sampling point by the group velocity to obtain the information data of the whole optical fiber link. In the art, there are various existing methods (for example, by a least square method) for analyzing an abnormal event of an optical fiber link, and the technical solution of the present invention also focuses on analyzing an abnormal event of an optical fiber link, and therefore, the present embodiment does not describe details about analyzing an abnormal event of an optical fiber link.
And step nine, feeding back the optical fiber link information to the controller, reporting the measurement result to an upper layer by the controller, and carrying out the next measurement according to the feedback information. If no abnormal event exists in the optical fiber link, the optical fiber link is monitored continuously in a large dynamic range mode; if the abnormal event is found, the optical fiber link is continuously monitored by adopting a high spatial resolution mode, so that the spatial resolution is improved, and the position of the abnormal event is accurately positioned.
Example two
The embodiment has the same structure as the first embodiment, and the main difference lies in the step two in the implementation method, and the other steps are the same as the first embodiment, so the embodiment only describes the step two, specifically as follows:
the OSC traffic signal and the pseudo random sounding signal are combined into a fixed length composite frame structure.
