Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、二重化された地上伝送路と、二重化された衛星伝送路との間に接続された二重化伝送路切替装置及び方法に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
伝送路に収容されている回線の信頼性を向上させるため、現用系伝送路の伝送品質が劣化した場合又は伝送路が断になった場合に、予備系伝送路へ切り替える装置及び方法が種々提案されている。特に、遠隔離島と本土との間の伝送路においては、海底光ケーブルよりも経済的であるという理由から衛星伝送路が利用されている。具体的には、本土側における交換機及び地上伝送路装置からなる地上伝送路と、離島側における交換機及び地上伝送路装置からなる地上伝送路とを、衛星伝送路によって接続することによって離島通信が提供されている。衛星伝送路による提供は、安価でかつ容易に設置可能であるけれども、雨や雪による気象条件及びフェージングやサントランジットによる伝播路上の環境によって伝送路の品質が劣化するため、信頼性を確保する観点から予備系伝送路でバックアップすることが必要となっている。
【0003】
図1は、従来の本土と離島との間の伝送路構成図である。
【0004】
図1によれば、本土側において、交換機11及び地上伝送路装置12により地上伝送路が二重化されており、その二重化された伝送路はそれぞれ無線装置13及び14に接続されている。また、無線装置13が通信する衛星3と、無線装置14が通信する衛星3とは、軌道が異なるものであり、衛星伝送路も二重化されている。これに対し、遠隔離島側においても、この本土側と全く同じシステムが構成されている。これにより、遠隔離島と本土との間の伝送路が完全に二重化される(例えば非特許文献1参照)。尚、図1において、太線は衛星Aを介した現用系伝送路を表し、細線は衛星Bを介した予備系伝送路を表す。
【0005】
図1のような二重化伝送路においては、現用系伝送路に障害が発生しても、本土側及び遠隔離島側に設置される地上伝送路装置12及び22が、現用系伝送路/予備系伝送路を切り替えることができる。従って、伝送路全断とならないようにフェールソフトなシステムとすることができる。また、衛星伝送路と組み合わせて使用される地上伝送路は、信頼性を確保するために、予備系伝送路を常時設定した完全二重化構成で運用されている。
【0006】
このため、衛星伝送路において、現用系伝送路のみが常時設定した場合、予備系伝送路の警報信号が検出され、地上伝送路装置12及び22が予備系伝送路全断と判断し、伝送路の切替ができなくなる。このため、衛星伝送路においても予備系伝送路を常時設定しておく必要があった。
【0007】
図2は、切替制御信号のフレーム図である。
【0008】
図2によれば、運用系選択状態としてA現用系とB予備系とを選択でき、切替制御指示としてA切替停止とB切替実行(予備系に切替)とを選択できる。
【0009】
図3は、従来の本土と離島との間の切替制御信号シーケンス図である。
【0010】
図3によれば、本土側と離島側の地上伝送路装置12及び22との間は、現用系伝送路が運用されており、予備系伝送路は待機されている。この場合、例えば、離島側の地上伝送路装置22が、本土側の地上伝送路装置12へ切替停止信号を送信すると、これに対して、本土側の地上伝送路装置12は異常が無ければ離島側の地上伝送路装置22へ切替停止信号を送信する。一方、本土側の地上伝送路装置12において異常が有れば離島側の地上伝送路装置22へ切替信号を送信する。これに対して、離島側の地上伝送路装置22は本土側の地上伝送路装置21へ切替信号を送信する。これにより、運用を現用系伝送路から予備系伝送路へ切り替えることができる。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
近年は衛星通信の普及により衛星中継器のコストが低減しているといっても、非常に高価なものである。また、遠隔離島と本土との間の衛星伝送路コストの大部分を衛星中継器が占めているので、地上伝送路と同様に予備系伝送路を常時設定し、衛星中継器を常時占有することは経済的ではない。
【0013】
また、地上伝送路においては、地上伝送路装置で予備系伝送路の警報が発出しているなど、予備系伝送路の正常性が確認できない場合には、伝送路の切替が実施できないという間題点があった。
【0014】
更に、予備系伝送路を使用する頻度は、現用系伝送路を使用する頻度に比べ非常に低いため、予備系伝送路を構成するための衛星中継器は、平常時は別の用途で使用するなどの有効利用がなされており、全ての現用系伝送路を収容できないという問題点があった。
【0015】
更に、遠隔離島と本土との間の伝送路においては、救済する重要度(伝送路障害耐性種別)が異なる伝送路が混在していることも考慮しなければならない。
【0016】
そこで、本発明は、二重化された地上伝送路と組合せた信頼性の高い二重化衛星伝送路の経済的な構築を実現する為の二重化伝送路切替装置を提供することを目的とする。
【0017】

を有することを特徴とする。
【0018】

【0020】
本発明の二重化伝送路切替方法における他の実施形態によれば、
地上伝送路に対して伝送路障害耐性種別が設定されており、警報信号が異常有りである場合、伝送路障害耐性種別に基づいて、衛星伝送路へ伝送路切替信号を送信するか否かを判断することも好ましい。
【0021】
地上伝送路装置を監視制御するために遠隔離島と本土に設置される二重化伝送路切替装置が地上伝送路と接続され、地上伝送路装置との間で切替停止信号又は切替信号の送受信を行うことで、現用系/予備系伝送路の正常性を判断する。しかし、平常時には、予備系伝送路となる衛星伝送路側は、伝送路の設定が未設定であるため、予備系伝送路側の伝送路断の警報信号を地上伝送路装置にて検出し、現用系伝送路が万一故障しても地上伝送路装置は伝送路の切替動作は実施しない。このため、平常時には二重化伝送路切替装置において切替停止ダミー信号を予備系伝送路に送信することにより、地上伝送路装置は予備系伝送路を正常と判断する。また、地上伝送路装置において現用系伝送路側の伝送路断警報信号検出時には二重化伝送路切替装置との間で信号の送受信を行うことで、二重化伝送路切替装置は、現用系伝送路断を判断し、予備系伝送路へ送出している切替停止ダミー信号を停止し、衛星伝送路の設定を行い予備系伝送路の設定を実施し、現用系伝送路から予備系伝送路への切替を可能とすることで経済的に伝送路の信頼性を確保する。
【0022】
地上伝送路装置を監視制御するために遠隔離島と本土に設置される二重化伝送路切替装置が地上伝送路と地気信号で接続され、地上伝送路装置との間で信号の送受信を行うで、伝送路の故障を判断する。正常時は、地上伝送路へ予備系伝送路への切替停止のダミー信号を送出し、警報信号発出時は、予備系伝送路への切替停止のダミー信号の送出を停止し、予備系伝送路への切替信号を送出することで正常な系への切替が可能となり、また、外部から指示された伝送路の優先順位に従い、伝送路警報信号発出時は優先度を考慮した切替を実施することで経済的に伝送路の信頼性を確保する。
【0023】
地上伝送路装置を監視制御するために遠隔離島と本土に設置される伝送路切替装置が外部からの伝送路の切替優先順位情報を含む制御信号を送受信することで、自装置の信号処理部内にある管理テーブルに対して伝送路毎の切替優先順位を設定、蓄積し、請求項1により現用系伝送路断を判断した場合は蓄積された管理テーブルを参照し、切替優先順位に応じ伝送路切替を実行する。
【0024】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、図面を参照して本発明の実施の形態を説明する。
【0025】
図4は、本発明における経済的な本土側と離島側との間の伝送路構成図である。
【0026】
図4は、図1と比較して、本土側について、地上伝送路装置12と無線装置13及び14との間に二重化伝送路切替装置15を備え、二重化伝送路装置15と地上伝送路装置12との間は警報制御線(二重線)が更に接続されている。また、図4によれば、二重化伝送路切替装置15と警報制御線で接続された監視制御装置16を更に備えている。
【0027】
同様に、遠隔離島側についても、地上伝送路装置22と無線装置23及び24との間に二重化伝送路切替装置25を備え、二重化伝送路装置25と地上伝送路装置22との間は警報制御線が更に接続されている。また、図4によれば、二重化伝送路切替装置25と警報制御線で接続された監視制御装置26を更に備えている。
【0028】
例えば、本土側について、二重化伝送路切替装置15は、地上路伝送装置12から警報制御線を介して警報信号を受信し、警報信号を処理した後、その結果を切替停止ダミー信号又は切替信号として伝送路を介して地上伝送路装置12へ送信する。
【0029】
図5は、本発明における二重化伝送路切替装置15の構成図である。
【0030】
図5によれば、二重化伝送路切替装置15は、地上伝送路装置12とデータ信号を送受信する地上伝送路インタフェース部1511及び1521と、衛星伝送路の切替トリガとなる地上伝送路装置12の警報信号を収集する警報収集インタフェース部153と、各インタフェース部から集めた情報に基づいて現用系伝送路/予備系伝送の切替制御のための信号を処理する信号処理部154と、地上伝送路のフォーマットと衛星伝送路フォーマットの変換を実施するインタフェース変換部1512及び1522と、無線装置とのデータ信号を送受信する無線装置インタフェース部1513及び1523とにより構成される。図5によれば、地上伝送路インタフェース部1511が現用系伝送路であり、地上伝送路インタフェース部1521が予備系伝送路である場合の構成を示している。尚、実線部分は常時回線設定されているが、点線部分は必要に応じて回線設定されることを示している。
【0031】
図6は、地上伝送路装置12から受信した警報信号が異常無しである場合のシーケンス図である。
【0032】
図6によれば、警報収集インタフェース部153によって受信された警報信号が異常無しである場合、又は警報信号が受信されない場合、信号処理部154は、現用系伝送路が正常な状態であると判断する。この状態において、衛星伝送路の予備系側は、衛星伝送路の回線設定が未設定な状態である。本来であれば、予備系地上伝送路と衛星伝送路を組合せた場合、本土と遠隔離島間の伝送路は警報発出状態として地上伝送路装置では判断する。これを防止するため、信号処理部153は、予備系地上伝送路である地上伝送路インタフェース部12へ、切替停止ダミー信号を送出するよう指示する。
【0033】
前述した従来技術に係る図3によれば、本土側の地上伝送路装置と離島側の地上伝送路装置との間で、伝送路の切替実施/切替停止を行う切替制御信号が交換される。これに対し、本発明に係る図6によれは、衛星伝送路へ切替制御信号を送信することなく、地上伝送路装置12への切替制御信号として切替停止ダミー信号を送信する。従って、信号処理部154が、地上伝送路インタフェース部1511を介して、所定の信号フォーマットで地上伝送路装置12へ擬似的に送出するべく指示する。尚、切替停止ダミー信号を受信した地上伝送路装置12は、予備系伝送路側は正常と判断し、現用系伝送路が故障した場合に備えて予備系伝送路に切替可能な状態で待機する。
【0034】
図7は、地上伝送路装置12から受信した警報信号が異常有りである場合のシーケンス図である。
【0035】
図7によれば、警報収集インタフェース部153によって受信された警報信号が異常有りである場合、信号処理部154は、現用系地上伝送路が異常であると判断する。この状態において、信号処理部154は、地上伝送路インタフェース部1521が送出している切替停止ダミー信号を停止するべく指示し、衛星伝送路の作成指示を警報制御線を介して外部の監視制御装置16へ送出する。信号処理部154は、衛星伝送路の作成指示を受信した監視制御装置16は、予備系の無線装置に対して、衛星伝送路を作成するよう指示する。更に、信号処理部154は、地上伝送路インタフェース部1521へ切替信号を送出するべく指示する。
【0036】
図8は、地上伝送路装置12と信号処理部154との間の具体的な切替制御信号シーケンス図である。
【0037】
図8によれば、信号処理部154は、現用系伝送路を運用し続けることができると判断した場合、地上伝送路装置12から受信した切替制御信号のフレームについて、その内容をコピーして地上系伝送路装置12へ送信することができる。
【0038】
図9は、本発明における切替優先順位のある伝送路構成図である。
【0039】
図9によれば、図4と比較して、地上伝送路装置12と、二重化伝送路切替装置の地上伝送路インタフェース部1511及び1521との間は、伝送路障害耐性種別が異なる伝送路が収容されている。伝送路障害耐性種別とは、例えば、二重化、半二重化及び一重化の3種類の伝送路がある。二重化伝送路とは、現用系伝送路と予備系伝送路とが1対1に対応付けられたものであり、現用/予備の完全冗長構成の高信頼度の伝送路を示す。半二重化伝送路とは、現用系伝送路と予備系伝送路とが多対1に対応付けられたものであり、予備系伝送路が他の現用系伝送路によって使用中であれば伝送路断を許容する中信頼度の伝送路を示す。一重化伝送路とは、現用系伝送路に対して予備系伝送路が対応付けられていないものであり、伝送路断の場合は予備系伝送路が全くない低信頼度の伝送路を示す。
【0040】

【0041】
図10によれば、二重化伝送路である現用系伝送路1−1には、予備系伝送路2−1が対応付けられており、半二重化伝送路である現用系伝送路1−2及び1−3には、予備系伝送路2−2が対応付けられており、一重化伝送路である現用系伝送路1−4には、予備系伝送路が対応付けられていない。

【発明の効果】
本発明の二重化伝送路切替装置及び方法によれば、二重化された地上伝送路と組み合わせた衛星伝送路において、地上伝送路装置に対して切替停止ダミー信号の送出及び停止をすることができるので、衛星中継器を常時占有する必要が無く、経済的な二重化伝送路を構築することができる。加えて、地上伝送路に伝送路障害耐性種別を付与することができるので、信頼性高い二重化伝送路を構築することもできる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a duplex transmission path switching apparatus and method connected between a duplex ground transmission path and a duplex satellite transmission path.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In order to improve the reliability of the line accommodated in the transmission line, various devices and methods for switching to the standby transmission line when the transmission quality of the active transmission line deteriorates or the transmission line is cut off are proposed. Has been. In particular, in the transmission path between the remote island and the mainland, a satellite transmission path is used because it is more economical than a submarine optical cable. Specifically, remote island communication is provided by connecting a terrestrial transmission line consisting of an exchange and a terrestrial transmission line device on the mainland side and a terrestrial transmission line consisting of an exchange and a terrestrial transmission line device on the remote island side by a satellite transmission line. Has been. Provision by satellite transmission line is inexpensive and easy to install, but the quality of the transmission line deteriorates due to weather conditions due to rain and snow and the environment on the propagation path due to fading and sun transit. Therefore, it is necessary to back up with a backup transmission line.
[0003]
FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of a transmission line between a conventional mainland and a remote island.
[0004]
According to FIG. 1, on the mainland side, the terrestrial transmission path is duplexed by the exchange 11 and the terrestrial transmission path apparatus 12, and the duplexed transmission paths are connected to the radio apparatuses 13 and 14, respectively. The satellite 3 with which the wireless device 13 communicates and the satellite 3 with which the wireless device 14 communicates have different orbits, and the satellite transmission path is also duplicated. On the other hand, the same system as the mainland side is configured on the remote island side. Thereby, the transmission path between the far-isolated island and the mainland is completely duplexed (for example, see Non-Patent Document 1). In FIG. 1, the thick line represents the active transmission line via the satellite A, and the thin line represents the standby transmission line via the satellite B.
[0005]
In the duplex transmission line as shown in FIG. 1, even if a failure occurs in the working transmission line, the terrestrial transmission line devices 12 and 22 installed on the mainland side and the remote isolation island side are used for the working transmission line / standby transmission. The road can be switched. Therefore, a fail-soft system can be provided so that the transmission line is not completely interrupted. Further, the terrestrial transmission line used in combination with the satellite transmission line is operated in a full duplex configuration in which a standby transmission line is always set in order to ensure reliability.
[0006]
For this reason, in the satellite transmission line, when only the active transmission line is always set, an alarm signal of the standby transmission line is detected, the ground transmission line devices 12 and 22 determine that the standby transmission line is completely disconnected, and the transmission line Cannot be switched. For this reason, it is necessary to always set a standby transmission line in the satellite transmission line.
[0007]
FIG. 2 is a frame diagram of the switching control signal.
[0008]
According to FIG. 2, the A active system and the B standby system can be selected as the active system selection state, and A switching stop and B switching execution (switching to the standby system) can be selected as the switching control instruction.
[0009]
FIG. 3 is a conventional switching control signal sequence diagram between the mainland and a remote island.
[0010]
According to FIG. 3, the working transmission line is operated between the terrestrial transmission line apparatuses 12 and 22 on the mainland side and the remote island side, and the standby transmission line is on standby. In this case, for example, when the terrestrial transmission line device 22 on the remote island side transmits a switching stop signal to the terrestrial transmission line device 12 on the mainland side, on the other hand, if the terrestrial transmission line device 12 on the mainland side has no abnormality, the remote island side A switching stop signal is transmitted to the terrestrial transmission line device 22 on the side. On the other hand, if there is an abnormality in the terrestrial transmission line device 12 on the mainland side, a switching signal is transmitted to the terrestrial transmission line device 22 on the remote island side. On the other hand, the terrestrial transmission line device 22 on the remote island side transmits a switching signal to the terrestrial transmission line device 21 on the mainland side. Thereby, the operation can be switched from the active transmission line to the standby transmission line.

[0012]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Even though the cost of satellite repeaters has been reduced in recent years due to the spread of satellite communications, it is very expensive. Also, since the satellite repeater occupies most of the satellite transmission line cost between the remote island and the mainland, it is necessary to always set up a standby transmission line and occupy the satellite repeater as well as the ground transmission line. Is not economical.
[0013]
Also, in the case of a terrestrial transmission line, if the normality of the standby transmission line cannot be confirmed, such as when a warning is issued for the standby transmission line in the terrestrial transmission line device, the problem is that the transmission line cannot be switched. There was a point.
[0014]
Furthermore, since the frequency of using the standby transmission line is much lower than the frequency of using the active transmission line, the satellite repeater for configuring the standby transmission line is normally used for another purpose. There has been a problem that all the active transmission lines cannot be accommodated.
[0015]
Furthermore, in the transmission path between the remote isolation island and the mainland, it is necessary to consider that there are mixed transmission paths having different importance (transmission path fault tolerance type) to be rescued.
[0016]
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a duplex transmission path switching device for realizing an economical construction of a highly reliable duplex satellite transmission path combined with a duplex ground transmission path.
[0017]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
According to the duplex transmission path switching device of the present invention,
Dual terrestrial transmission line interface means for transmitting and receiving data signals to and from the terrestrial transmission line device;
Dual wireless device interface means for transmitting and receiving data signals to and from the wireless device;
Alarm collection interface means for receiving an alarm signal from the ground transmission line device;
When the alarm signal is normal, the terrestrial transmission path interface means is instructed to transmit a switching stop dummy signal to the terrestrial transmission path apparatus. When the alarm signal is abnormal, the transmission path switching signal is transmitted to the radio apparatus. And a signal processing means for instructing the terrestrial transmission path interface means to stop transmission of the switching stop dummy signal to the terrestrial transmission path apparatus.
[0018]
According to another embodiment of the duplex transmission path switching device of the present invention,
