In order to clearly explain the implementation process of the foregoing solution, an explanation is made with reference to fig. 2, and as shown in fig. 2, a structure diagram of the cooperation of two communication devices is shown, where the structure and the working principle of the two communication devices are the same, and the difference is mainly that there are corresponding differences in the deployment positions and the transmission and processing of signals.
The first communication device includes a first control unit, a first optical detector, a second optical detector, a first optical switch, a second optical switch, a third optical switch, and a first optical splitter.
The second communication device comprises a second control unit, a third light detector, a fourth light switch, a fifth light switch, a sixth light switch and a second light splitter, and the first communication device has the same function as the second communication device.
The first optical splitter splits an optical signal from a service device into a first optical signal and a second optical signal, the first optical signal is sent to a sixth optical switch in the second communication device through the first optical switch, the second optical signal is sent to the sixth optical switch in the second communication device through the second optical switch, and the sixth optical switch selects one path of optical signal to output to the service device corresponding to the second communication device according to an instruction of the second control unit.

The routes of the first optical signal and the third optical signal are a main path 91 and a main path 92, the routes of the second optical signal and the fourth optical signal are a standby path 101 and a standby path 102 (there is no distinction between the main path and the standby path for convenience of explanation), so that the first communication device is a source end and the second communication device is a sink end (there is no distinction between the source end and the sink end for convenience of explanation).
The first light detector and the second light detector detect the optical signals from the main path 92 and the standby path 102 respectively, and one path is selected to be output to the service device through the third optical switch under the control of the first control unit, the third light detector and the fourth light detector detect the optical signals from the main path 91 and the standby path 101 respectively, and one path is selected to be output to the service device through the sixth optical switch under the control of the second control unit, and the service device can be a single wavelength optical signal or a group of optical signals with a same source and sink of a plurality of wavelength sources.
Therefore, the communication equipment can complete double transmission and reception of the optical signals between the source end and the destination end.
Then, how the third optical switch is synchronously switched with the first optical switch and the second optical switch, respectively, with the active-standby switching will be described next.
In the process of switching between the main and the standby, when the third optical switch is switched from the standby receiving optical path to the main receiving optical path, the main transmitting optical path where the first optical switch is located is synchronously turned on, the standby transmitting optical path where the second optical switch is located is synchronously turned off, and when the third optical switch is switched from the main receiving optical path to the standby receiving optical path, the main receiving optical path where the first optical switch is located is synchronously turned off, and the standby transmitting optical path where the second optical switch is located is synchronously turned on.
When the communication equipment works in the standby path, the first optical detector detects that the opposite-side main path optical signal is normal, the second optical detector detects that the opposite-side standby path optical signal is abnormal, the control unit controls the third optical switch to switch from the standby receiving optical path to the main receiving optical path according to detection results of the first optical detector and the second optical detector, and the control unit also controls the corresponding first optical switch to conduct the main path optical signal and controls the second optical switch to close the standby path signal.
When the communication equipment works in a main path, the opposite-side main path optical signals detected by the first optical detector are abnormal, the opposite-side standby path optical signals detected by the second optical detector are normal, the control unit controls the third optical switch to switch from a main receiving optical path to a standby receiving optical path according to detection results of the first optical detector and the second optical detector, and the control unit also controls the corresponding first optical switch to close the main path optical signals and controls the second optical switch to conduct the standby path pipe signals, so that the conduction of the optical switches is synchronous.
Besides, the main circuit of the line side of the first communication device receives signals, the optical signals received by the main circuit are split, part of split light enters the first optical detector, most of split light enters the third optical switch port, and the size of the light from the main circuit optical signals can be detected through calibration of the first optical detector.
The standby path of the line side of the first communication equipment receives the signal, the standby path receives the optical signal through light splitting, partial light split enters the second optical detector, most of light split enters the other port of the third optical switch, and the size of the standby path optical signal light can be detected through the calibration of the second optical detector.
How the communication device performs simultaneous source-sink switching will be described in detail below.
In the initial state, the main path and the standby path are good, the first optical switch and the second optical switch are in the on state, the third optical switch receives optical signals from the main path or the standby path, the control unit is used for controlling the state of the corresponding optical switch according to the optical signal detection result and ensuring that the source and the sink simultaneously work in the main path or the standby path, when the communication equipment works in the main path, the first optical detector and the second optical detector monitor the optical signals of the corresponding receiving optical paths in real time, when the first optical detector detects the optical signals of the main receiving optical path to be normal, the second optical switch and the third optical switch are kept unchanged, when the first optical detector detects the optical signals of the main receiving optical path to be abnormal, and when the second optical detector detects the optical signals of the standby receiving optical path to be normal, the control unit is used for controlling the third optical switch to be switched to the standby receiving optical path, and meanwhile, the control unit is used for controlling the first optical switch to be switched off, and the second optical switch keeps unchanged, so that the equipment works in the standby path.
And the server knows the states of the first optical switch, the second optical switch and the third optical switch of the corresponding board card of the corresponding communication equipment.
As shown in fig. 3, when the communication device works in the main circuit, because the transmission and the reception of the main circuit are both interrupted at the same time, that is, the main circuit 91 and the main circuit 92 are disconnected (for example, the optical cable is cut off), the corresponding signal light cannot be detected at the first optical detector of the first communication device at the source end, the optical signal detected by the second optical detector is normal, the first control unit instructs the third optical switch to switch, and at the same time, the first control unit instructs the first optical switch to switch, at the same time, the main circuit optical transmission at the source end is cut off, at the sink end, because the optical path transmission and the reception are simultaneously interrupted, the third optical detector cannot detect the light, the fourth optical detector detects the optical signal is normal, the second control unit instructs the sixth optical switch to switch, and at the same time, the second control unit instructs the fourth optical switch to switch, at the same time, the main circuit optical transmission at the sink end is cut off, and the sink end is simultaneously switched.
As shown in fig. 4, the communication device is operated in the main circuit, the main circuit 92 is interrupted due to a certain cause, the main circuit 91 is operated normally, if the optical signal detected by the first optical detector of the first optical communication device at the source end is abnormal, the second optical detector detects that the light is normal, the first control unit instructs the third optical switch to switch, and meanwhile, the first control unit instructs the first optical switch to switch the main circuit of the source end, that is, 91 optical fibers do not have the optical signal at the source end, and at the destination end, because 91 optical fibers do not have the optical signal at the source end, the third optical detector detects that the light is not detected, the fourth optical detector detects that the optical signal is normal, the second control unit instructs the sixth optical switch to switch, and meanwhile, the second control unit instructs the fourth optical switch to switch, and meanwhile, the main circuit of the destination end is cut, and the main circuit and the standby circuit are simultaneously switched.
As shown in fig. 5, the communication device works in the main circuit, 91 optical fibers of the main circuit are interrupted for some reason, 92 optical fibers work normally, at the host end, the third optical detector detects abnormal optical signals due to the interruption of the 91 optical fibers, the fourth optical detector detects normal optical signals, the second control unit commands the sixth optical switch to switch, meanwhile, the second control unit commands the fourth optical switch to switch, at the moment, the host end main circuit optical transmission is cut off, the first optical detector of the first optical communication equipment at the source end cannot detect light (because the main optical transmission of the host end is cut off), the second optical detector detects light normally, the first control unit commands the third optical switch to switch, and meanwhile, the first control unit commands the first optical switch to switch, at the moment, the main optical transmission of the source end is cut off, the main optical transmission and the standby optical transmission are simultaneously switched, and the main optical transmission and the standby optical transmission are switched to the standby optical transmission and the standby optical transmission are simultaneously switched.
If the transmission and the reception of the standby path are interrupted (for example, the optical cable is cut off) or the optical fiber of the standby path 101 is interrupted for some reason, the optical fiber of 102 is normal or the optical fiber of the standby path 101 is normal, and the optical fiber of 102 is interrupted, then the first optical detector of the first optical communication device at the source end detects that the optical signal is normal, the second optical detector detects that the optical signal is normal or abnormal, then the third optical switch, the first optical switch and the second optical switch are all unchanged, and at the destination end, the third optical detector detects that the optical signal is normal, the fourth optical switch detects that the optical signal is normal or abnormal, then the sixth optical switch, the fourth optical switch and the fifth optical switch are all unchanged, that is, the main path of the source and the destination are not switched, and the source and the destination are all operated in the main path.
The above description is of the case of source-sink synchronous switching occurring in the state where the communication apparatus is operating in the main path, and the following description is of the case of source-sink synchronous switching in the state where the communication apparatus is operating in the standby path.
After the communication equipment is switched to the standby path, the first optical detector and the second optical detector monitor the optical signals of the corresponding receiving optical paths in real time, when the first optical detector detects that the optical signals of the main receiving optical path are normal, and the second optical detector detects that the optical signals of the standby receiving optical path are normal, the first optical switch, the second optical switch and the third optical switch are kept unchanged, when the first optical detector detects that the optical signals of the main receiving optical path are normal, and the second optical detector detects that the optical signals of the standby receiving optical path are abnormal, the control unit is used for controlling the third optical switch to be switched to the main receiving optical path, and meanwhile, the control unit is used for controlling the second optical switch to be disconnected and controlling the first optical switch to work in the main transmitting optical path so as to enable the communication equipment to work in the main path.
Because the main path and the standby path are not different in the present invention, only for convenience of explanation, when the communication device normally works in the standby path, the switching of the specific switch is consistent with the situation that the communication device normally works in the main path, and the switching of the specific switch can be inferred simply according to the above description, and will not be repeated here.
The communication device includes, in addition to the above-described operation states, the following cases:
if the source end and the destination end continue to work in the main path without any operation.
If the main path is abnormal and works in the standby path, and the standby path also fails for some reason, the source end and the destination end both continue to work in the standby path without any operation.
And assuming that the main and standby paths are abnormal at the same time, the source end and the destination end of the group are kept in the original state, and no operation is performed.
Under the working state of the communication equipment, if the corresponding transmitting port of the fault side is closed, the source and the destination of the fault route are closed to transmit optical signals, and after the fault of the fault route is eliminated, the link cannot be automatically recovered due to the closing of the transmitting signals, and the recovery of the link can be realized by the following method:
after the line fault is recovered, a first optical switch and/or a second optical switch of the communication equipment at the side are/is opened according to a fault recovery command to open a transmitting port of the communication equipment at the side, wherein after the opposite side communication equipment detects a corresponding optical signal, an optical transmitting link of the opposite side communication equipment is opened, and after the optical signal is received by a detector of the communication equipment at the side, a control unit controls the third optical switch to work on a main path or a standby path according to the optical signal so as to recover the link;
When the communication device switches from the main path to the standby path and the transmission of the main path is cut off, after the optical cables of the main path 91 and the main path 92 are repaired, the transmission of signals is cut off due to the first optical switch at the source end and the fourth optical switch at the destination end, so that even if the optical cables are repaired, the first detector at the source end and the third detector at the destination end cannot detect the optical signals, and the whole link cannot be recovered, so that the link can be recovered by the following two methods at this time.
The main method for recovering the link comprises the following steps: when the optical cable of the main path 91 or the main path 92 is repaired, the first optical switch or the fourth optical switch is switched in a manual mode, for example, the fourth optical switch is switched in a command mode, so that the host end sends a main path sending signal to the main path, the first optical detector at the receiving end of the main path of the source end receives the optical signal sent by the host end, and the first control unit opens the optical switch of the main path to send the main path optical signal, so that the restoration of the main optical path sending is completed at both the host end and the source end, and the main optical path is restored.
The method is to recover the optical path signal by manual participation, and the following method is to recover the optical signal without manual participation, and comprises periodically or randomly opening a transmitting port of the opposite side communication equipment under the condition that the first optical detector and the second optical detector do not receive light so as to realize automatic recovery of a link.
The main method for recovering the link is as follows: when the third optical switch performs switching action, the corresponding transmission signal light on the original working path is turned off, after a period of time t1 (t 1 time is long enough to ensure that the opposite end can also realize optical path switching, so that the source and the destination can be switched to the main path or the standby path), under the condition that the corresponding optical detector detects that the optical signal is abnormal, the optical switch on the corresponding transmission side is turned on periodically (with t2 as a period) or at random time intervals for a period of time, after the corresponding detector receives the optical signal transmitted by the corresponding optical path of the opposite end, the corresponding transmission signal is turned on for a long time, so that after the optical cable fault is eliminated, the corresponding optical link can be recovered without manual participation, and after the optical link is recovered, whether the optical link is to be switched from the standby optical path to the main optical path is determined by a switching strategy.
Example 2:
in embodiment 1, a manner of cooperation of two communication devices is described, and the main connection manner of the two communication devices may also be as shown in fig. 6, and it should be noted that the differences between fig. 6 and fig. 2 are mainly that the manners of connecting fibers of the first optical switch, the second optical switch, the fourth optical switch and the fifth optical switch are different, but all the manners are the functions of realizing on-off of the transmitted optical signals, so the working mechanism of the communication device is please refer to embodiment 1 and is not repeated herein.

The dual transmission function of the service device transmitting signals can be realized according to the above.
Step 102: the first photodetector detects a first optical signal from the contralateral communication device on the main path, and the second photodetector detects the second optical signal from the contralateral communication device on the auxiliary path.
The first optical detector is arranged at the main receiving end of the communication equipment and used for detecting the optical signals from the main receiving optical path, and the second optical detector is arranged at the standby receiving end of the communication equipment and used for detecting the optical signals from the standby receiving optical path.
Step 103: the control unit controls the first optical switch, the second optical switch and the third optical switch according to detection results of the first optical detector and the second optical detector so as to control the communication equipment to work in a main path or a standby path.
In the initial state, the main path and the standby path are good, the first optical switch and the second optical switch are in a conducting state, and the control unit is used for controlling the states of the corresponding optical switches according to the optical signal detection result.
Two main situations are included:
the first method comprises the steps that when the communication equipment works in a main path, the first optical detection and the second optical detection are used for detecting optical signals of a receiving optical path corresponding to the real-time monitor, when the first optical detection is used for detecting that the main receiving optical path is normal, the second optical detection is used for detecting that the standby optical path is normal or abnormal, the first optical switch, the second optical switch and the third optical switch are kept unchanged, when the first optical detection is used for detecting that the main receiving optical path is abnormal, the second optical detection is used for detecting that the standby optical signal is normal, the control unit is used for controlling the third optical switch to be switched to the standby optical path, meanwhile, the control unit is used for controlling the first optical switch to be switched off, so that the communication equipment works in the standby path, and when the first optical detection is used for detecting that the main receiving optical path is abnormal, and when the second optical detection is used for detecting that the standby optical path is abnormal, the first optical switch, the second optical switch and the third optical switch are kept unchanged.
The second type of the optical signal switching device comprises an optical signal of a receiving optical path corresponding to the first optical detection and the second optical detection real-time monitor when the communication equipment works in a standby path, when the first optical detection detects that the light of a main receiving optical path is normal or abnormal, the second optical detector detects that the light of the standby optical path is normal, the first optical switch, the second optical switch and the third optical switch are kept unchanged, when the first optical detection detects that the light of the main receiving optical path is normal, the second optical detector detects that the light of the standby optical signal is abnormal, the control unit is used for controlling the third optical switch to be switched to the main receiving optical path, and meanwhile, the control unit is used for controlling the second optical switch to be switched off, so that the communication equipment works in the main path, and when the first optical detector detects that the light of the main receiving optical path is abnormal, and when the second optical detector detects that the standby optical path is abnormal, the first optical switch, the second optical switch and the third optical switch are kept unchanged.
Wherein, a specific workflow diagram when the detector detects signals is shown in fig. 8.
Step 201: when the equipment works in a main path, when the first optical detector detects that the optical signal is abnormal and the second optical detector detects that the optical signal is normal, the control unit controls the first optical switch to be disconnected, controls the second optical switch to be connected, and controls the third optical switch to be switched to a standby path for connection.
When the first optical detector detects that the main receiving optical signal from the opposite-side communication device at the main receiving end is abnormal, and the second optical detector detects that the standby receiving optical signal from the opposite-side communication device at the standby receiving end is normal, the control unit controls the three optical switches to perform different operations according to the detection results of the first optical detector and the second optical detector (see embodiment 1 in detail), so that the communication device is switched from the main path to the standby path, which is not repeated here.
Step 202: when the equipment works in a standby path, when the second optical detector detects that the optical signal is abnormal and the first optical detector detects that the optical signal is normal, the control unit controls the second optical switch to be disconnected, controls the first optical switch to be connected, and controls the third optical switch to be switched to a main path for connection.
Because the main path and the standby path are not fundamentally different, when the second optical detector detects that the standby receiving end is abnormal from the standby receiving optical signal of the opposite-side communication device when the communication device works on the standby path, the control unit controls the three optical switches to perform different operations according to the detection results of the first optical detector and the second optical detector (see embodiment 1 specifically), so that the communication device can be switched from the standby path to the main path, and the details are not repeated here.
It will be readily appreciated by those skilled in the art that the foregoing description is merely a preferred embodiment of the invention and is not intended to limit the invention, but any modifications, equivalents, improvements or alternatives falling within the spirit and principles of the invention are intended to be included within the scope of the invention.
