Description

Optical network protection control method, device and network management server
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of communications, and in particular, to a method and an apparatus for controlling optical network protection, and a network management server.
Background
In an optical communication system, optical power is lost due to accidents such as cutting of an optical fiber, failure of equipment, or pulling out of an optical connector. On one hand, in consideration of personnel safety, an Automatic Power Reduction (APR) protection process can be started under the condition that the optical Power in an optical transmission section of the main optical channel is lost, communication is automatically recovered after an optical fiber link is normal, and the APR optical Power requirement meets the BSEN 60825-1-1994 and BSEN 60825-2-2000 standards. On the other hand, for the consideration of system Protection, APS (Automatic Protection switching) is generally added to an optical transmission link, and when a working link fails, the working link is automatically Switched to a Protection link, thereby ensuring the stability of the system.
Both conventional APR/ALS (Automatic Laser Shutdown)) and APS are triggered based on a sudden drop in optical power caused by a sudden loss of optical signal. The conventional APR and APS protection procedures are illustrated below.
Referring to the APR protection system shown in fig. 1, when the point a optical cable is broken, loss of continuity of optical transmission signal (LOC-OTS) is detected at the receiving port R2, which may result in reduction of output power of the T2 transmitting port; again, this causes LOC-OTS at the receive port R1, resulting in a reduction of the output power at the transmit port T1. This ensures that the optical power at the failed point a is at a safe level.
Referring to the APS protection system shown in fig. 2, when a path a fails, for example, a fiber is broken or an amplifier is damaged, the optical power of the path a is reduced, and when an optical switch control panel (OP board) monitors that the power difference between the path a and the path B reaches a threshold value, an APS protection switching process is started to switch a service from a working channel a to a protection channel B, thereby ensuring the reliable stability of the service.
In summary, it can be seen that both the APR and the APS processes are triggered based on sudden optical power decrease caused by sudden optical signal loss, and a protection process is triggered as long as the optical power fluctuates beyond a threshold value, but the optical fiber performance and the optical signal transmission performance of the optical fiber link are not concerned, but the optical fiber performance and the optical signal transmission performance directly affect the reliability of the communication system.

When the output end of the performance monitoring module in this embodiment is set on the optical fiber link, the output end of the performance monitoring module may be coupled to the output end of the amplifier on the optical fiber link. The performance parameters can be obtained by adopting various performance monitoring devices. The optical fiber link performance parameter in this embodiment may include at least one of an optical fiber performance parameter and an optical signal transmission performance parameter, and may directly include the optical fiber performance parameter and the optical signal transmission performance parameter, for example. The Optical fiber performance parameters may be obtained by an OTDR (Optical Time Domain Reflectometer) device, and the Optical signal transmission performance parameters may be obtained by an OPM (Optical performance monitoring) device.

The optical network Protection in this embodiment may adopt at least one of Automatic Power Reduction (APR) Protection and Automatic Protection Switching (APS). Which protection modes are adopted can be flexibly set according to specific application scenarios, and it should be understood that the protection modes are not limited to the protection modes.
It can be seen that the present embodiment can obtain the performance parameter of the optical fiber link and use the performance parameter as whether to trigger the start of the optical network protection, so that the requirement of the carrier on the attention of the optical network performance can be met, and more comprehensive and reliable optical network protection can be provided.
In this embodiment, when the optical fiber link performance parameter obtained in S301 includes an optical fiber performance parameter, the obtained optical fiber performance parameter includes: at least one of reflection and reflection point performance parameters, total attenuation parameters and attenuation coefficients, it should be understood that which parameters are specifically contained can be flexibly determined according to factors such as specific application scenarios and network environments. At this time, the determining process of determining whether the optical network needs to be protected according to the obtained optical fiber link performance parameter in S302 includes:
when the optical fiber performance parameters comprise reflection and reflection point performance parameters, judging whether the obtained reflection and reflection point performance parameters are larger than a preset maximum reflection and reflection point performance parameter threshold value, if so, judging that the optical network needs to be protected, otherwise, indicating that the obtained reflection and reflection point performance parameters are normal; the reflection-and-reflection point performance parameter in this embodiment includes, but is not limited to, at least one of a reflection power, a reflection coefficient, and an emission point, and the corresponding maximum reflection-and-reflection point performance parameter threshold includes, but is not limited to, at least one of a maximum reflection power threshold, a maximum reflection coefficient threshold, and a maximum emission point threshold. When the reflection and reflection point performance parameters include more than two of the three parameters, it may be determined that the optical network needs to be protected as long as any one of the parameters is greater than the corresponding threshold, or it may be determined that the optical network needs to be protected when all the parameters are greater than the corresponding thresholds.

And when the optical fiber performance parameters comprise attenuation coefficients, judging whether the obtained attenuation coefficients are larger than a preset maximum attenuation coefficient threshold value, if so, judging that the optical network needs to be protected, otherwise, indicating that the obtained attenuation coefficients are normal.
The optical fiber performance parameters in this embodiment may also include attenuation and attenuation point parameters, the obtained parameters may not be used as conditions for optical network protection triggering, and after the parameters are detected, the parameters may be reported to a corresponding gateway server for subsequent other analysis and management.
In this embodiment, when the performance parameters of the optical fiber link obtained in S301 include the performance parameters of the optical fiber, the optical network protection may adopt power auto-reduction protection and auto-switching protection.
In this embodiment, the optical fiber link performance parameter in S301 includes an optical signal transmission performance parameter, and may also include the optical fiber performance parameter.

Of course, the optical signal transmission performance parameters in this embodiment may also include center wavelength offset and gain flatness, but the obtained center wavelength offset and gain flatness may be used as a condition for not triggering power auto-reduction protection.
When triggering the automatic switching protection according to the optical signal transmission performance parameters, the method is suitable for the optical channel section on the optical fiber link and the optical multiplexing section on the optical fiber link. The following is an example of two cases.
