- Each of the transmission devices 1A and 1B can accommodate data of the client device 2.
- the transmission apparatuses 1A and 1B are connected by an optical transmission line 3.

- Client data is stored and transmitted in the payload area of the OTU frame.
- FIG. 2 shows the structure of the OTU frame.
- the OTU frame has a structure of 4080 bytes ⁇ 4 rows.
- Monitoring control information is stored in the 1st to 16th bytes.
- the monitoring control information includes an OTU overhead, an ODU (Optical channel Data Unit) overhead, and an OPU (Optical channel Payload Unit) overhead.
- the 17th to 3824th bytes are a payload area in which client data is stored.
- FEC Forward Error Correction
- a transmission device that supports OTU can transmit a plurality of optical signals in parallel.
- a transmission apparatus that supports OTU3 performs parallel transmission using four 10 Gbps optical interfaces.
- a transmission apparatus that supports OTU4 performs parallel transmission using ten 10 Gbps optical interfaces (or four 25 Gbps optical interfaces).
- FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining OTU parallel transmission.
- an OTU4 frame of about 100 Gbps is transmitted via ten 10 Gbps optical interfaces.
- the OTU frame is converted into a plurality of logical lanes. This conversion is also called logical lane distribution (LLD).
- LLD logical lane distribution
- a logical lane is a data string after an OTU frame is parallelized every 16 bytes.
- the number of logical lanes is standardized in ITU-T (G.709 recommendation). For example, OTU3 is standardized as 4 logical lanes, and OTU4 is standardized as 20 logical lanes.
- the multiplexer multiplexes the signals of the plurality of logical lanes in order to convert the plurality of logical lanes described above into the parallel number of the optical interface.
- signals are multiplexed for every two logical lanes for 20 logical lanes, and 10 optical interface signals are created.
- the optical module (E / O) converts the multiplexed signal into an optical signal and outputs it.
- the bit rate of each optical signal is about 10 Gbps.
- the signal of each logical lane is regenerated by the optical module (O / E) and the demultiplexer (DMUX).
- the frame synchronization unit establishes synchronization for each logical lane.
- the skew adjustment unit compensates for a timing error (ie, skew) between logical lanes. Then, the frame reproducing unit reproduces the OTU frame from the output signals of the plurality of logical lanes.
- the OTU frame is divided every 16 bytes and distributed to a plurality of logical lanes as shown in FIG.
- the OTU frame is divided every 16 bytes.
- this 16-byte data is referred to as a “frame element” in this specification. That is, the OTU frame is divided into 255 ⁇ 4 frame elements.
- two numbers in each frame element represent the positions of the beginning and end of the frame element. For example, “1:16” indicates that the frame element stores information of the first to 16th bytes of the OTU frame.
- Frame synchronization is established by FAS (Frame Alignment Signal) within the OTU overhead.
- the FAS is 6-byte information having a predetermined data pattern (eg, F6 F6 F6 28 28 28).
- F6 F6 F6 28 28 28 a predetermined data pattern
- the OTU overhead is stored in the 1st to 14th bytes of the first row of the OTU frame. Therefore, when the OTU frame is divided into frame elements, the FAS is arranged in the frame element “1:16” as shown in FIG.
- FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining a method of distributing an OTU frame to a plurality of logical lanes.
- the OTU frame is divided into frame elements shown in FIG. 4 and distributed in order to logical lanes # 01 to # 20.
- the frame elements in the first row are distributed in order to the logical lanes # 01 to # 20, and then the frame elements in the second, third, and fourth rows are sequentially assigned to the logical lanes # 01 to # 20.
- Distributed For example, in the first cycle, frame elements “1:16” to “305: 320” are distributed to logical lanes # 01 to # 20.
- the “cycle” corresponds to a period for transmitting 16-byte information in each logical lane.
- the OTU frame stores 16320 bytes of information as shown in FIG. Therefore, in the configuration in which the OTU frame is distributed to the logical lanes # 01 to # 20, the OTU frame is transmitted in 51 cycles as shown in FIG. At this time, the end portion of the OTU frame (that is, the frame element “16305: 16320”) is distributed to the logical lane # 20.
- OTU frame 1 As described above, one OTU frame is transmitted in 51 cycles on the logical lanes # 01 to # 20. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5, when a certain OTU frame (hereinafter referred to as OTU frame 1) is transmitted in the first to 51st cycles, the next OTU frame (hereinafter referred to as OTU frame 2) is in the 52nd to 102nd cycles. It is transmitted with.
- OTU frame 2 a certain OTU frame
- OTU frame 2 the next OTU frame
- Frame synchronization is established by FAS as described above.
- the FAS of the OTU frame 1 is arranged in the logical lane # 01.
- it is required to establish synchronization for each logical lane. That is, it is required that FAS is arranged in each logical lane.
- the transmission apparatus arranges the head portion of the OTU frame (that is, the frame element “1:16”) in the logical lane # 02. That is, the distribution of the OTU frame 2 is started from the logical lane # 02 as shown in FIG. Similarly, for example, distribution of the OTU frame 3 starts from the logical lane # 03, and distribution of the OTU frame 20 starts from the logical lane # 20. Note that the process of shifting the distribution start lane by one for each OTU frame is referred to as “rotation” in this specification.
- LMS Logical Lane Marker
- the LLM is assigned to FAS for establishing frame synchronization.
- the LLM is incremented by 1 each time rotation is executed. For example, in FIG. 5, when the LLM assigned to the FAS of the OTU frame 1 is “0”, the LLM of the OTU frame 2 is “1”, and the LLM of the OTU frame 3 is “2”.
- the LLM is used to identify a logical lane in the transmission apparatus on the receiving side.
- rotation is performed so that FASs are arranged in order in each logical lane.
- the transmission apparatus on the receiving side establishes synchronization for each logical lane using FAS, and identifies each logical lane number using LLM. Then, the OTU frame is reproduced by multiplexing the data of each logical lane in units of frame elements.
- FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining the synchronization of logical lanes.
- Logical lane synchronization is established by detecting FAS at regular intervals in each logical lane. For example, in a transmission system having 20 logical lanes # 01 to # 20, as shown in FIG. 5 or FIG. 6, FAS is inserted at 20 OTU frame intervals (that is, 1020 cycles) in each logical lane. Therefore, when the FAS is detected in 1020 cycles in each logical lane, the receiving side transmission apparatus determines that the synchronization of each logical lane is established.
- 100Gbps transmission is realized by, for example, “10Gbps ⁇ 10”, “25Gbps ⁇ 4” or “100Gbps ⁇ 1”.
- 10 Gbps ⁇ 10 represents a configuration in which ten 10 Gbps optical modules are parallelized.
- the number of logical lanes in the transmission apparatus needs to be the least common multiple of the number of optical modules to be parallelized. Therefore, in order to provide 100 Gbps transmission with OTU, as shown in FIG. 3 or FIG. 5, 20 logical lanes are provided in the transmission apparatus.
- 400 Gbps transmission is expected to be realized with configurations such as “10 Gbps ⁇ 40”, “25 Gbps ⁇ 16”, “40 Gbps ⁇ 10”, “50 Gbps ⁇ 8”, or “100 Gbps ⁇ 4”.
- the least common multiple of 40, 16, 10, 8, and 4 is 80. Therefore, in this case, the number of logical lanes is 80. However, if the transmission apparatus does not support “25 Gbps ⁇ 16”, the number of logical lanes may be 40.
- 1Tbps transmission is expected to be configured with, for example, “10 Gbps ⁇ 100”, “25 Gbps ⁇ 40”, “40 Gbps ⁇ 25”, “50 Gbps ⁇ 20”, or “100 Gbps ⁇ 10”.
- the least common multiple of 100, 40, 25, 20, 10 is 200. Therefore, in this case, the number of logical lanes is 200. However, if the transmission apparatus does not support “25 Gbps ⁇ 40”, the number of logical lanes may be 100.
- the processing time of the OTU frame may become longer in the transmission apparatus on the receiving side. For example, when the number of logical lanes increases from 20 to 40 when the transmission rate is increased from 100 Gbps to 400 Gbps, the time required for frame synchronization becomes longer.
- FIGS. 8 to 9 are diagrams for explaining a method of distributing the OTU frame to 40 logical lanes.
- frame elements “1:16” to “625: 640” of OTU frame 1 are distributed to logical lanes # 01 to # 40.

- the last frame element of OTU frame 1 that is, frame element “16305: 16320” is distributed to logical lane # 20 of the 26th cycle.
- the first frame element of the OTU frame 2 (that is, the frame element “1:16”) is distributed to the logical lane # 21 of the 26th cycle. That is, the last frame element of OTU frame 1 and the first frame element of OTU frame 2 are arranged in the same cycle. In this case, the rotation is not executed when the processing shifts from OTU frame 1 to OTU frame 2.
- the remaining frame elements of the OTU frame 2 are distributed to the logical lanes in order.
- the last frame element of the OTU frame 2 that is, the frame element “16305: 16320” is distributed to the logical lane # 40.
- the frame elements are distributed to all the logical lanes # 01 to # 40 in the 51st cycle.
- the first frame element of the OTU frame 3 is arranged in the next cycle (that is, the 52nd cycle). That is, the last frame element of OTU frame 2 and the first frame element of OTU frame 3 are arranged in different cycles.
- the rotation is executed when the distribution of the OTU frame 3 to the logical lane is started.
- the first frame element (that is, frame element “1:16”) of the OTU frame 3 is arranged not in the logical lane # 01 but in the logical lane # 02. Thereafter, similarly, the remaining frame elements of the OTU frame 3 and the frame elements of the subsequent OTU frame are distributed to the logical lanes # 01 to # 40.
- rotation is executed every time two OTU frames are distributed to the logical lanes # 01 to # 40.
- the FAS included in the first OTU frame after the rotation is performed is referred to as “FAS1”
- the FAS included in the second OTU frame is referred to as “FAS2”.

- the identification information assigning unit 21 assigns an LLM to each input OTU frame. If the number of lane groups is not 2 n , the identification information adding unit 21 further assigns a lane group ID to each input OTN frame. Hereinafter, the processing of the identification information adding unit 21 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. In this example, it is assumed that the lower 1 bit of MFAS is used as the lane group ID.
- the identification information adding unit 21 detects a new OTU frame. At this time, the identification information adding unit 21 detects a new OTU frame by detecting FAS from the input bit string, for example.
- the FAS bit pattern is determined in advance.
- the identification information adding unit 21 detects MFAS.
- MFAS is incremented by a circuit that forms an OTU frame.
- the bits in the MFAS used as the lane group ID are set to “all zeros” as an initial condition.
- the identification information adding unit 21 increments the lane group ID.
- the MFAS is represented by 8 bits. Therefore, the MFAS returns to zero every 256 OTU frames. However, the lower 1 bit of MFAS repeats “0” and “1” alternately for each frame. That is, the lower 1 bit of the MFAS returns to zero every 2 OTU frames. However, when the number of lane groups is L (excluding 2 n ), the value of the lane group ID is “0” to “L ⁇ 1” in order for each frame as described above.
- the identification information adding unit 21 determines whether or not the lane group ID is zero.
- the lower 1 bit of MFAS is used as the lane group ID. Therefore, the identification information adding unit 21 determines whether or not the lower 1 bit of the MFAS is zero.
- the identification information adding unit 21 increments the LLM in S4. On the other hand, if the lane group ID is not zero, the process of S4 is skipped. In this case, the value of LLM does not change.
- the identification information adding unit 21 adds the LLM obtained in S2 to S4 to the input OTM frame. At this time, the identification information adding unit 21 writes the LLM obtained in S2 to S4 in the sixth byte of the OTU overhead.
- the identification information adding unit 21 adds the LGID and LLM obtained in S2 to S4 to the input OTM frame in S5. At this time, the identification information adding unit 21 writes the LLM obtained in S2 to S4 to the sixth byte of the OTU overhead, and writes LGID to the thirteenth byte of the OTU overhead.
- the identification information adding unit 21 executes S1 to S5 every time it receives an OTU frame.
- the lane group ID and LLM are assigned to each input OTU frame.
- An example is shown.
- the following identification information is given to the input OTU frames 1 to 10 in order.
- LGID means lane group ID.
- the lane group ID is incremented in S2 shown in FIG. In S3, it is determined whether or not the lane group ID is zero. As an example, when the number of lane groups is 3, the following identification information is given to the input OTU frames 1 to 10 in order.
- the identification information adding unit 21 adds an LLM to each input OTU frame. At this time, if the number of lane groups is not 2 n , the identification information assigning unit 21 further assigns a lane group ID to each input OTU frame. If the number of lane groups is 2 n , the lane group ID is represented by MFAS. Then, the OTN frame to which the LLM (and lane group ID) is assigned by the identification information adding unit 21 is guided to the frame dividing unit 22.
- the frame dividing unit 22 divides the frame into a plurality of frame elements. As shown in FIG. 4, the OTU frame is divided into 16-byte frame elements.
- the synchronization information FAS, lane group ID, and LLM are stored in the first frame element among a plurality of frame elements obtained by dividing the OTU frame.
- the selector 23 sequentially distributes the frame elements output from the frame dividing unit 22 to the buffers # 1 to #M based on the lane group ID and the LLM.
- each of the buffers # 1 to #M corresponds to one logical lane.
- M 40
- buffers # 1 to # 40 correspond to logical lanes # 01 to # 40. Therefore, the frame distributor 11 can realize the process of distributing the frame elements to a plurality of logical lanes by distributing the frame elements to the buffers # 1 to #M.
- each buffer # 1 to #M corresponds to one logical lane. Therefore, the process of distributing the frame elements to the buffers # 1 to #M is substantially equivalent to the process of distributing the frame elements to a plurality of logical lanes. Since the process of distributing frame elements to a plurality of logical lanes has been described with reference to FIGS. 10 to 13, the description thereof will be omitted.
- Frame elements stored in the buffers # 1 to #M are read by a read circuit (not shown) and guided to the multiplexers 12a to 12d.
- the transmission apparatus 10 assigns a lane group ID and an LLM to each input OTU frame. Further, the transmission apparatus 10 disassembles the OTU frame into frame segments and distributes them to a plurality of logical lanes # 01 to # 40. Then, the transmission apparatus 10 outputs the signals of the logical lanes # 01 to # 40 to the optical transmission lines 3a to 3d.
- FIG. 16 shows the configuration of the transmission apparatus on the receiving side.
- This transmission device 30 corresponds to the transmission device 1B shown in FIG. Further, the transmission unit 30 receives the optical signal transmitted from the transmission apparatus 10 shown in FIG. 10 via the optical transmission lines 3a to 3d.
- the transmission apparatus 30 includes optical modules (O / E) 31a to 31d, demultiplexers (DMUX) 32a to 32d, a frame synchronization unit 33, a logical lane rearrangement unit 34, a skew adjustment unit 35, and a frame reproduction unit 36.
- the optical modules 31a to 31d convert optical signals received through the optical transmission lines 3a to 3d into electric signals, respectively.
- Each of the optical modules 31a to 31d includes an O / E element having a 100 Gbps band.
- the demultiplexers 32a to 32d demultiplex the output signals of the optical modules 31a to 31d, respectively.
- the demultiplexers 32a to 32d perform the reverse processing of the multiplexers 12a to 12d provided in the transmission apparatus 10 on the transmission side, respectively. Therefore, in this example, each of the demultiplexers 32a to 32d demultiplexes the input signal and outputs ten bit string signals.
- the frame synchronization unit 33 receives 10 bit string signals from the demultiplexers 32a to 32d. Therefore, a total of 40 bit string signals are input to the frame synchronization unit 33. At this time, the signals of logical lanes # 01 to # 40 shown in FIGS. 12 to 13 are input to the frame synchronization unit 33.
- the frame synchronization unit 33 establishes synchronization by detecting FAS for each logical lane.
- FAS is inserted into each logical lane by rotation.
- FASs are inserted at intervals of 1020 cycles in each logical lane.
- FAS is inserted into logical lane # 01 in the first cycle.
- the FAS is inserted into the logical lane # 21 in the 26th cycle
- the FAS is inserted into the logical lane # 02 in the 52nd cycle
- the FAS is inserted into the logical lane # 22 in the 77th cycle.
- the FAS is inserted into the logical lane # 1 in the 1021st cycle
- the FAS is inserted into the logical lane # 21 in the 1046th cycle
- the FAS is inserted into the logical lane # 02 in the 1072th cycle
- the logical lane in the 1092th cycle FAS is inserted into # 22.
- the frame synchronization unit 33 monitors the FAS pattern in each of the 40 bit string signals. The frame synchronization unit 33 determines that frame synchronization has been established when FAS is detected at intervals of 1020 cycles in all bit string signals.
- the FAS bit pattern is, for example, “F6 F6 F6 28 28 28”.
- the transmission apparatuses 10 and 30 may use the sixth byte of the FAS area as the LLM. Therefore, the frame synchronization unit 33 may perform synchronization detection using the first to fifth bytes of the FAS area.
- the transmission device 30 can establish synchronization of all logical lanes as described above. However, in order for the transmission apparatus 30 to reproduce the OTU frame, the logical lanes # 01 to # 40 need to be arranged correctly.
- the optical modules 13a and 31a, the optical modules 13b and 31b, the optical modules 13c and 31c, and the optical modules 13d and 31d are usually connected.
- each of the demultiplexers 32a to 32d simply demultiplexes the received signal, and does not configure logical lanes in the order of lane numbers. For this reason, logical lanes configured on the receiving side may not be arranged in the same order as on the transmitting side. In this case, the transmission apparatus 30 on the receiving side cannot reproduce the OTU frame from the received signal.
- the optical module is not correctly connected between the transmission side and the reception side as described above.
- the transmission device 30 on the reception side cannot reproduce the OTU frame from the received signal.
- the logical lane rearrangement unit 34 uses the lane group ID and the LLM inserted in each logical lane in the transmission apparatus 10 on the transmission side to change the arrangement order of the logical lanes on the reception side. Rearrange the logical lanes so that they are the same as the transmission side. Note that the lane group ID and the LLM are stored in the same frame element as the FAS as described with reference to FIG.
- FIG. 18 shows the configuration of the logical lane rearrangement unit 34.
- the logical lane rearrangement unit 34 includes LGID detection units 34a to 34d, an LGID sort unit 34e, and LLM sort units 34f and 34g.
- the LGID detection unit 34a detects the lane group ID from each of the ten received signals obtained by the demultiplexing unit 32a.
- LGID detectors 34b to 32d detect lane group IDs from the output signals of demultiplexers 32b to 32d, respectively.
- the LGID sorting unit 34e sorts the 40 received signals based on the lane group IDs detected by the LGID detection units 34a to 34d.
- FIG. 19 is a diagram for explaining the operation of the logical lane rearrangement unit 34.
- 40 logical lanes are multiplexed 10 by 10. That is, four optical transmission lines are provided between the transmission apparatuses 10 and 30. Then, in the transmission device 30 on the receiving side, the signal transmitted through each optical transmission line is separated into 10 demultiplexed signals and guided to the logical lane rearrangement unit 34. Therefore, the logical lane rearrangement unit 34 has 40 input ports and 40 output ports.
- the transmission apparatus 10 on the transmission side assigns an LLM to each OTU frame.
- LGID is represented by a part of MFAS inserted in each OTU frame.
- the OTU frame is divided into frame elements and distributed to logical lanes # 01 to # 40.
- LGID and LLM are inserted into the respective logical lanes # 01 to # 40 as shown in FIG.
- LGID identifies a lane group.
- LGID is “0” or “1”.
- the arrangement order of the logical lanes is different from that on the transmission side due to the demultiplexing in the demultiplexer.
- the lane groups are arranged in the order of LG1 and LG2, but the logical lanes in each lane group are not arranged in the numerical order.
- the logical lane rearrangement unit 34 rearranges each input signal based on LLM mod 20 within the group identified by the LGID.
- sorting within the group using LLM mod 20 is performed, but the present invention is not limited to this.
- sorting for each group using LGID may be performed.
- rearrangement of all logical lanes may be realized by a single process using LGID and LLM mod20.
- the logical lane rearrangement unit 34 may be realized by using a switch circuit having a plurality of input ports and a plurality of output ports, for example. In this case, paths between the plurality of input ports and the plurality of output ports are determined based on LGID and LLM detected from the signal of each input port.
- the transmission device 30 since the transmission device 30 includes the logical lane rearrangement unit 34, the logical lane is transmitted between the transmission device 10 and the transmission device 30 regardless of the connection of the optical transmission path between the transmission devices 10 and 30.
- the order of # 01 to # 40 is the same. Therefore, the work for constructing the transmission system is simplified. Alternatively, the reliability of the transmission system is improved.
- FIG. 20 shows a configuration of the skew adjustment unit 35.
- the skew adjustment unit 35 adjusts the skew (timing error) between the logical lanes. Note that the skew between the logical lanes occurs when the lengths of the optical transmission lines 3a to 3d are different from each other, for example. Also, skew between logical lanes may occur due to other factors.

- the inter-lane skew adjustment unit 35a arranges the logical lane signals # 02 to ## so that the FASs of the logical lane signals # 02 to # 20 are sequentially arranged for every 51 cycles with respect to the FAS of the logical lane signal # 01. 20 timing is adjusted.
- the logical lane signals # 01 to # 20 are temporarily stored in a buffer in the inter-lane skew adjustment unit 35a.
- the inter-lane skew adjustment unit 35a can adjust the timing difference between the logical lane signals # 01 to # 20 by controlling the timing of reading each logical lane signal from the buffer.

- the inter-lane skew adjustment units 35a and 35b preferably operate in parallel.
- the inter-group skew adjustment unit 35c receives logical lanes # 01 to # 40 in which the skew adjustment in each lane group is performed by the inter-lane skew adjustment units 35a and 35b.
- the inter-group skew adjustment unit 35c extracts one logical lane signal from each of the lane groups LG1 and LG2.
- the logical lane signal # 01 is extracted from the lane group LG1
- the logical lane signal # 21 is extracted from the lane group LG2.
- the FAS of the logical lane signal # 01 is arranged in the first cycle, and the FAS of the logical lane signal # 21 is arranged in the 26th cycle. That is, the FAS of the logical lane signal # 21 is inserted at the timing when 25 cycles have elapsed from the FAS of the logical lane signal # 01 in the transmission apparatus 10 on the transmission side. Therefore, the inter-group skew adjustment unit 35c adjusts the timing of the logical lane signal # 21 so that the FAS of the logical lane signal # 21 is arranged at the timing when 25 cycles have elapsed with respect to the FAS of the logical lane signal # 01. To do.
- the logical lane signals # 01 to # 40 are once stored in a buffer in the inter-group skew adjustment unit 35c.
- the inter-group skew adjustment unit 35c can adjust the timing difference between the logical lane signals # 01 to # 40 by controlling the timing of reading each logical lane signal from the buffer.
- the skew adjustment within each lane group is performed first by the inter-lane skew adjustment units 35a and 35b. Therefore, the inter-group skew adjustment unit 35c adjusts the timing of the logical lanes in each lane group based on the timing adjustment result between the logical lane signals # 01 and # 21. As a result, the skew adjustment unit 35 adjusts the skews of all the logical lanes # 01 to # 40.
- the skew in each lane group is adjusted, and then the skew between lane groups is adjusted.

Therefore, for example, when the transmission apparatuses 10 and 30 transmit OTU frames using 20 logical lanes # 01 to # 20, the skew adjustment unit 35 is one of the inter-lane skew adjustment units 35a and 35b. Can be stopped. In this case, the inter-group skew adjustment unit 35c does not perform skew adjustment.
- the skew adjustment unit 35 is applicable to both the case where 20 logical lanes are used and the case where 40 logical lanes are used.
- the configuration of the inter-lane skew adjusting units 35a and 35b is the same. Therefore, according to the configuration of the embodiment, it is possible to flexibly cope with a change in transmission rate while sharing parts.
- the frame reproduction unit 36 reproduces the OTU frame from the output signals of the logical lanes # 01 to # 40 whose skew has been adjusted by the skew adjustment unit 35. At this time, the frame reproduction unit 36 reproduces the OTU frame from the 40 logical lane signals by executing the reverse process of the distribution process by the frame distributor 11.

- the last frame element (that is, “16305: 16320”) of the OTU frame 1 is arranged in the logical lane # 60 of the thirteenth cycle. Therefore, the first frame element “1:16” of the OTU frame 2 is arranged in the logical lane # 61 of the thirteenth cycle.
- the first frame element of the OTU frame 3 is arranged in the logical lane # 41 of the 26th cycle, and the first frame element of the OTU frame 4 is arranged in the logical lane # 21 of the 39th cycle.

- each lane group LG1 to LG4 the logical lane in which the frame element including the FAS is inserted is shifted in turn every rotation (ie every 51 cycles). For example, in lane group LG1, after FAS is inserted into logical lane # 01 in the first cycle, FAS is inserted into logical lane # 02 in the 52nd cycle. At this time, the value of LLM is incremented by 1 for each rotation. Therefore, for example, if the LLM attached to the FAS of the logical lane # 01 in the first cycle is “0”, the LLM attached to the FAS of the logical lane # 02 in the 52nd cycle is “1”.

Abstract
Description
しかしながら、信号を並列化して処理および伝達する伝送システムにおいては、伝送レートの高速化を図ると、受信側の伝送装置においてフレームを処理するための時間がかえって長くなることがある。例えば、受信側の伝送装置において同期を確立するために要する時間が長くなることがある。
この場合、送信側において、OTUフレームは、複数の論理レーンへと変換される。この変換は、論理レーン分配(LLD:Logical Lane Distribution)とも呼ばれる。論理レーンとは、OTUフレームを16バイト毎に並列化した後の各データ列のことである。この論理レーンの数は、ITU-T(G.709勧告)において標準化されている。例えば、OTU3では4本の論理レーン、OTU4では20本の論理レーンとして標準化されている。
例えば、実用化されているOTU4のビットレートは、約100Gbpsである。これに対して、現在、400Gbpsおよび1Tbpsの帯域を有するOTU伝送方式が検討されている。ところが、現在の技術では、光モジュール(E/O素子およびO/E素子)の高速化には限界がある。このため、超高速伝送は、図7に示すように、10Gbps~100Gbpsの光モジュールを並列化することで実現される。
図10に示す実施例では、伝送装置10に400GbpsのOTUフレームが入力される。このOTUフレームのペイロードには、クライアントデータが格納されている。なお、伝送装置10は、図示しないが、クライアントデータを格納するOTUフレームを生成するフレーマを内蔵していてもよい。また、伝送装置10は、40本の論理レーン#01~#40を提供する。各論理レーン伝送レートは、約10Gbpsである。
x=LLM mod20 +1
一例を示す。ここでは、初期条件として「MFAS=0」であるときに「LLM=0」が与えられ、ローテーションが開始されるものとする。この場合、例えば、入力OTUフレーム1~10に対して、順番に、下記の識別情報が付与される。LGIDは、レーングループIDを意味する。
OTUフレーム1:LGID=0、LLM=0
OTUフレーム2:LGID=1、LLM=0
OTUフレーム3:LGID=0、LLM=1
OTUフレーム4:LGID=1、LLM=1
OTUフレーム5:LGID=0、LLM=2

OTUフレーム10:LGID=0、LLM=3
80本の論理レーンを使用してOTUフレームを伝送する場合、論理レーン#01~#80は、4つのレーングループにグループ化される。送信側の伝送装置の構成および動作は、実質的に図10に示す伝送装置10と同じである。ただし、フレーム分配部11は、OTUフレームを論理レーン#01~#80に分配する。このとき、フレーム分配部11は、図14において、M=80、N=20、L=4で動作する。また、多重化器および光モジュールは、論理レーンの本数に応じて、適切に設計されるものとする。
