Embodiment:
The present invention is further illustrated below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments.
Figure 1 shows that the multiple size light cross connecting structure schematic diagram with shared conversion pool, this structure is based upon on the basis of multiple size light cross connecting structure.The part output of optical fiber cross-connect matrix FXC is connected by the part input of demodulation multiplexer with wavestrip cross-connect matrix BXC, and the part output of BXC is connected with the part input of FXC by multiplexer; The part output of BXC is connected with the part input of wavelength cross-connect matrix WXC by demodulation multiplexer, and the part output of WXC is connected with the part input of BXC by multiplexer; Between the input/output end port of wavelength cross-connect matrix WXC, wavestrip cross-connect matrix BXC, connect one and share conversion pool.The input of sharing conversion pool includes wavestrip input and wavelength input, the part input/output end port of wavestrip cross-connect matrix directly links to each other with the wavestrip output/input port of shared conversion pool respectively, and the part input/output end port of wavelength cross-connect matrix directly links to each other with the wavelength output/input port of shared conversion pool respectively.
All wavelength that need carry out the wavestrip of wavestrip conversion and carry out wavelength Conversion all enter and share conversion pool and exchange in the optical fiber.Because the light signal that transmits in optical fiber in optical-fiber network only some wavelength need be changed at one time, this part wavelength that need change is finished conversion by sharing conversion pool.
Wavestrip conversion and wavelength Conversion all can be finished in sharing conversion pool.When wavestrip need be changed, if the transducer of wavestrip special use is occupied, and share wavelength shifter free time in the conversion pool, then light signal demultiplexes into wavelength with wavestrip after entering and sharing conversion pool, finishes conversion to wavestrip by wavelength shifter; Equally, when wavelength need be changed, if wavelength shifter is occupied, and the wavestrip transducer free time in the shared conversion pool, then light signal uses idle wavestrip transducer to finish conversion after entering and sharing conversion pool; If have wavestrip and wavelength need use idle transducer in the shared pool simultaneously, so preferentially satisfy the request of wavestrip conversion.
Between a plurality of nodes of network, also can realize shared mechanism.After the link between source node and the destination node was built up, source node can send signaling to destination node and obtain information.And can share wavelength shifter idle in the conversion pool to oneself and the number of wavestrip transducer is sent back to source node or control centre by signaling at source node all nodes to the link between the destination node.Source node or control centre realize the sharing of shared conversion pool between a plurality of nodes by grasping in each node the number of sharing wavestrip transducer idle in the conversion pool and wavelength shifter.
In multiple size light cross connecting structure, wavestrip and wavelength all have special-purpose separately transducer.Be illustrated in figure 2 as the shared conversion pool structural representation of optical switch control, scheduler (S) directly connects a series of wavelength specific transducers 201 and 202 and wavestrip special converter 207 and 208 of non-shared portion, and the input of shared portion.Shared portion is by demodulation multiplexer 217, the I/O of multiplexer 218 and a series of wavelength shifter 203-206 of a series of optical switch 209-216 control connection.The business of the business of wavestrip granularity and wavelength granularity is used a series of sharing wavelength transducers, and these transducers of sharing are to control by optical switch to use when the transducer of the service-specific of the transducer of the service-specific of wavestrip granularity or wavelength granularity is not enough.
The input of sharing conversion pool is divided into wavestrip input and wavelength input, can arrive wavestrip special converter 207 and 208 after the wavestrip input, after also can demultiplexing into wavelength through demodulation multiplexer 217, arrive via the control of optical switch control unit 209-212 among the wavelength shifter 203-206 of shared portion and change, select to be multiplexed into after the wavestrip output or without the form output of multiplexer via the control of optical switch control unit 213-216 then with wavelength through multiplexer 218.Can arrive wavelength dedicated transducer 201 and 202 after the wavelength input, also can arrive the wavelength shifter 203-206 of shared portion via the control of optical switch control unit 209-212, after wavelength shifter conversion, being selected by the control of optical switch 213-216 is to be multiplexed into wavestrip output or without the form output of multiplexer with wavelength through multiplexer 218.Scheduler S is responsible for the input scheduling of wavestrip and wavelength, determines mainly whether the input of wavestrip or wavelength needs to use the wavelength shifter of shared portion or directly conversion in non-shared portion.Optical switch control unit OCU then is responsible for the switching of optical switch state, and optical switch has two states, wavelength selection mode and wavestrip selection mode, acquiescence be the wavelength selection mode.
Share the number of conversion pool medium wavelength special converter and wavestrip special converter and set an ideal value according to the size of optical-fiber network scale according to reality.For example: when network size is bigger, traffic carrying capacity is big, when business load is higher, wavestrip or the wavelength that need change are more, so can the number of the number of wavestrip transducer and wavelength shifter set more, be 8 such as setting the wavestrip transducer, wavelength shifter is 16; Otherwise, then lack, be 1 such as setting the wavestrip transducer, wavelength shifter is 2.The number of the wavelength shifter of shared portion then equates with the number of wavestrip medium wavelength.
Be illustrated in figure 3 as the shared conversion pool structural representation of space exchange unit controls.Input side and outlet side respectively have a wavelength cross-connect matrix 3-1 and 3-2.Demodulation multiplexer 307 with link to each other with input side wavelength cross-connect matrix 3-1 after 308 demultiplex into wavelength with wavestrip input, and wavelength input directly links to each other with input side wavelength cross-connect matrix.Link to each other with 302 with a series of wavestrip transducers 301 after the part output of input side wavelength cross-connect matrix is multiplexed into wavestrip through multiplexer 309 and 310, remaining output then directly links to each other with a series of wavelength shifter 303-306.Link to each other with outlet side wavelength cross-connect matrix 3-2 after wavestrip after passing through wavestrip transducer 301 and 302 changing is demultiplexed into wavelength by demodulation multiplexer 311 and 312, directly link to each other with outlet side wavelength cross-connect matrix through the wavelength after a series of wavelength shifter 303-306 conversions.The output of the outlet side wavelength cross-connect matrix device 313 and 314 that can be re-used is multiplexed into wavestrip output, also can directly export with the wavelength form.
All wavestrips and wavelength all exchange by the wavelength cross matrix 3-1 of input side and the wavelength cross matrix 3-2 of outlet side.When wavestrip need be changed, the input back was demultiplexed into wavelength by demodulation multiplexer 307 and 308 and enters wavelength cross matrix 3-1.If wavestrip transducer 301 and 302 is idle condition at this moment, the wavelength of these wavestrip demultiplexings can be multiplexed into wavestrip once more through wavestrip transducer 301 and the laggard wavelength cross matrix 3-2 of going into of 302 conversions so; The wavelength shifter 303-306 free time if wavestrip transducer 301 and 302 this moments are occupied, the wavelength of these wavestrip demultiplexings can be changed the laggard wavelength cross matrix 3-2 of going into through wavelength shifter 303-306 with the form of wavelength so.After wavelength cross matrix 3-2 exchange, can select to be multiplexed into wavestrip output, also can be with the form output of wavelength.Same, when wavelength need be changed, import the laggard wavelength cross matrix 3-1 of going into.If wavelength shifter 303-306 is in idle condition, these wavelength are changed the laggard wavelength cross matrix 3-2 of going into through wavelength shifter so; Wavestrip transducer 301 and 302 free time if wavelength shifter is occupied, and these wavelength are continuous, can be multiplexed into after the wavestrip through the laggard wavelength cross matrix 3-2 of going into of wavestrip transducer conversion through multiplexer 309 and 310 so.After entering the wavelength cross matrix, can be multiplexed into wavestrip output through the continuous wavelength in conversion back, wavestrip also can demultiplex into wavelength output, has to exchange granularity flexibly.
Be somebody's turn to do shared conversion pool wavelength shifter and wavestrip transducer and share use by the control of space exchange unit.That is to say, when wavelength need be changed and the transducer of wavelength specific is not enough and the wavestrip transducer can use the wavestrip transducer when idle, when wavestrip need be changed and the not enough and wavelength shifter of the transducer of wavestrip special use can use wavelength shifter when idle, during output still the control by the space exchange unit on demand with the form output of wavelength or wavestrip.
After the link establishment between source node and the destination node, the translator resource of the shared conversion pool of all nodes on this link all can be sent to each node by signaling, when the translator resource of certain node is not enough, can use the transducer of the adjacent or nearest with it node that idle translator resource is arranged, and it is occupied to send all these resources of other node of a message informing, upgrades the information of idling-resource simultaneously.So more effectively utilize the resource of transducer, reduced the quantity of transducer in the network, reduced the cost of network.
