Description

一种处理数据的方法、光接入设备以及光接入系统 技术领域
本发明实施例涉及光通信领域,尤其涉及一种处理数据的方法、光接入设备以及光接入系统。
背景技术
随着通信技术的不断发展,光通信技术的应用越来越广泛;相应的,传统通信系统中的网络接入设备也已逐渐发展为光通信系统中的光接入设备。
以光接入设备为光线路终端(Optical Line Terminal,OLT)为例,目前,在下行信号的传输过程中,位于局端(例如机房等)的OLT接收到下行信号后,首先处理该下行信号,然后再将处理后的该下行信号以光信号形式发送给位于远端(例如室外的固定杆或机箱等)的电缆调制解调器终端系统(Cable Modem Terminal Systems,CMTS),CMTS接收到该光信号后,首先将该光信号转换为电信号,然后再在媒体接入控制(media access control,MAC)层处理和物理(Physical,PHY)层处理该电信号,并将处理后的该电信号发送给电缆调制解调器(Cable Modem,CM),由CM对其接收的电信号解调后发送给终端设备,从而完成下行信号的传输。
然而,上述光通信系统中,由于CMTS位于远端,且该CMTS需要在MAC层和PHY层处理其接收的光信号,而在MAC层和PHY层处理光信号通常会消耗较大的功率,因此导致远端一侧的设备的功耗通常比较大。

具体实施方式
本文中术语“和/或”,仅仅是一种描述关联对象的关联关系,表示可以存在三种关系,例如,A和/或B,可以表示:单独存在A,同时存在A和B,单独存在B这三种情况。
本发明实施例的说明书和权利要求书中的术语“第一”和“第二”等是用于区别不同的对象,而不是用于描述对象的特定顺序。例如,第一下行数据和第二下行数据等是用于区别不同的下行数据,而不是用于描述下行数据的特定顺序。
在本发明实施例中,“示例性的”或者“例如”等词用于表示作例子、例证或说明。本发明实施例中被描述为“示例性的”或者“例如”的任何实施例或设计方案不应被解释为比其它实施例或设计方案更优选或更具优势。确切而言,使用“示例性的”或者“例如”等词旨在以具体方式呈现相关概念。
在本发明实施例的描述中,除非另有说明,“多个”的含义是指两个或两个以上。例如,多个PHY处理实体是指两个或两个以上的PHY处理实体。
下面将结合本发明实施例中的附图,对本发明实施例中的技术方案进行详细地描述。
以光接入设备为OLT为例,通常,在下行信号的传输过程中,位于局端的OLT接收到下行信号,并处理该下行信号,然后再将处理后的下行信号以光信号形式发送给位于远端的CMTS,CMTS接收到该光信号,将该光信号转换为电信号,并在MAC层处理和PHY层处理该电信号。由于CMTS位于远端,且该CMTS需要在MAC层和PHY层处理其接收的光信号,而在MAC层和PHY层处理光信号通常会消耗较大的功率,因此导致远端一侧的设备的功耗通常比较大。
为了解决上述问题,本发明实施例提供一种处理数据的方法、光接入设备以及光接入系统。在光网络中的设备向用户的终端设备发送下行数据的过程中,光接入系统中位于局端的光接入设备可以接收该下行数据(以下均称为第一下行数据),并且在该光接入设备中的MAC层对该第一下行数据做第一处理,得到数字电信号形式的第二下行数据,以及将该数字电信号形式的第二下行数据以数字光信号形式分别发送给光接入系统中位于远端的至少一个PHY处理实体。该至少一个PHY处理实体中的每一个PHY处理实体接收光接入设备发送的第二下行数据,并且在PHY层对该第二下行数据做第二处理,得到第三下行数据,以及将该第三下行数据发送给CM,由CM对其接收的第三下行数据解调后发送给终端设备,从而实现终端设备接收光网络发送的第一下行数据。与现有技术相比,本发明实施例提供的光接入系统中,由于可以在位于局端的光接入设备中的MAC层对第一下行数据做第一处理,在位于远端的PHY处理实体中的PHY层对第二下行数据做第二处理,因此远端一侧的设备中无需再集成MAC层的功能,即远端一侧的设备无需对第一下行数据做第一处理,从而本发明实施例能够使得远端一侧的设备降低由于第一处理带来的功耗,即本发明实施例提供的光接入设备和光接入系统能够降低远端一侧的设备的功耗。
本发明实施例提供的处理数据的方法可以应用于光接入设备,该光接入设备可以应用于光接入系统中,该光接入系统可以应用于采用光纤通信的通信系统中。参考图1,为本发明实施例提供的一种通信系统的架构示意图。如图1所示,该通信系统包括光接入设备10、至少一个PHY处理实体(假设图1所示的该通信系统中有两个PHY处理实体,分别为PHY处理实体11a和PHY处理实体11b)和至少一个CM(假设图1所示的该通信系统中有三个CM,分别为CM 12a、CM 12b和CM 12c)。其中,光接入设备10与至少一个PHY处理实体中的每个PHY处理实体(即PHY处理实体11a和PHY处理实体11b)连接,该每个PHY处理实体与至少一个CM连接。示例性的,如图1所示,PHY处理实体11a可以与CM 12a和CM 12b连接,PHY处理实体11b可以与CM 12c连接。光接入设备10可以将其接收到的下行数据以数字光信号形式发送给至少一个PHY处理实体中的每个PHY处理实体,然后每个PHY处理实体可以将其接收到的数字光信号形式的下行数据转为数字电信号形式的下行数据,再将该数字电信号形式的下行数据转换为模拟电信号形式的下行数据,进而每个PHY处理实体可以将该模拟电信号形式的下行数据发送给与其连接的至少一个CM。
需要说明的是,本发明实施例中,上述PHY处理实体可以为集成有PHY处理功能的设备或实体,也可以为独立的PHY处理设备。并且上述通信系统中,PHY处理实体的个数可以根据实际光网络的部署需求设定,本发明实施例不作具体限定。即上述图1所示的通信系统中的PHY处理实体的数量是为了对本发明实施例提供的通信系统进行示例性的说明,其并不对本发明实施例提供的通信系统形成任何限定。
本发明实施例中,上述如图1所示的通信系统的架构示意图中,光接入设备10与至少一个PHY处理实体可以称为光接入系统,该光接入系统可以传输上行数据和下行数据。具体的,在传输下行数据的过程中,光接入系统可以接收光网络中的设备(例如交换机或路由器)发送的下行数据(例如视频数据等),并处理该下行数据,得到数字光信号形式的下行数据,且将该数字光信号形式的下行数据转换为数字电信号形式的下行数据,再将数字电信号形式的下行数据转换为模拟电信号形式的下行数据之后发送给终端设备一侧的CM,由CM将该模拟电信号形式的下行数据发送给终端设备,从而实现下行数据的传输。在传输上行数据的过程中,光接入系统可以接收终端设备一侧的CM发送的模拟电信号形式的上行数据(例如终端设备的请求数据),并将该模拟电信号形式的上行数据转换为数字电信号形式的上行数据,且将该数字电信号形式的上行数据转换为数字光信号形式的上行数据,然后再处理该数字光信号形式的上行数据,以及将处理后的该数字光信号形式的上行数据发送给光网络中的设备或者将处理后的该数字光信号形式的上行数据以数字电信号形式发送给光网络中的设备,从而实现上行数据的传输。下面分别以传输下行数据和上行数据为例,对本发明实施例提供的光接入系统进行详细地说明。
首先,以在光接入系统中传输下行数据为例,对本发明实施例提供的光接入系统进行示例性的说明。
结合图1,如图2所示,本发明实施例提供一种光接入系统的架构示意图,该光接入系统包括光接入设备20和与该光接入设备20连接的至少一个PHY处理实体21。
其中,该光接入设备20用于接收光网络中的设备(例如交换机或路由器)发送的下行数据(以下简称为第一下行数据),并且在该光接入设备20中的MAC层对该第一下行数据做第一处理,得到数字电信号形式的第二下行数据,以及将该数字电信号形式的第二下行数据以数字光信号形式分别发送给至少一个PHY处理实体(具体可以发送给至少一个PHY处理实体中的每个PHY处理实体)。
如图2所示的至少一个PHY处理实体21中的每个PHY处理实体用于接收上述光接入设备20发送的数字光信号形式的第二下行数据,并且在其PHY层对该数字光信号形式的第二下行数据做第二处理,得到模拟电信号形式的第三下行数据,以及将该模拟电信号形式的第三下行数据发送给CM。
可选的,本发明实施例中,上述第一处理可以包括:对下行数据分包和封装。
示例性的,本发明实施例中,上述在光接入设备中的MAC层对第一下行数据做第一处理,可以包括:光接入设备对其接收到的第一下行数据分包,然后封装分包后的第一下行数据,得到数字电信号形式的第二下行数据。
需要说明的是,本发明实施例中,光接入设备接收第一下行数据具体为该光接入设备依次接收光网络中的设备发送的数据包,以接收第一下行数据,示例性的,以第一下行数据为一个数据包(以下简称为第一数据包)为例来说明上述第一处理。
具体的,上述光接入设备接收到第一下行数据后,在其MAC层处理并传输该第一下行数据的过程中,由于MAC层能够处理和传输的数据包的长度是有限的,因此当第一下行数据中的数据包的长度超过MAC层能够处理的数据包的最大长度时,光接入设备可以对该第一下行数据分包,即将第一数据包分为多个长度较小的数据包(以下简称为子数据包),进而通过在MAC层处理和传输多个子数据包,实现第一下行数据在MAC层顺利地处理和传输。
进一步的,在MAC层传输第一下行数据的过程中,如果发生传输错误(例如丢包),由于本发明实施例可以重新发送发生传输错误的子数据包,而无需重新发送该子数据包对应的未分包之前的数据包,因此可以节省重新发送发生传输错误的数据包的开销。
示例性的,以上述第一数据包为例,假设该第一数据包的净荷的长度为2000字节(byte),MAC层可以处理和传输的数据包的最大长度1460byte,则可以对该第一数据包分包,即将第一数据包分为多个子数据包,例如,可以将第一数据包分为长度为1460byte的子数据包(可以称为第一子数据包)和长度为540byte的子数据包(可以成为第二子数据包),并且按照第一数据 包的包头打包每个分包后的子数据包,如此接收该多个子数据包的功能单元(例如本发明实施例中的交换控制单元)可以获知该多个子数据包为第一数据包中的子数据包。
本发明实施例中,上述光接入设备对第一下行数据分包后,可以封装上述分包后的多个子数据包,得到封装后的下行数据,即得到数字电信号形式的第二下行数据。示例性的,该光接入设备可以按照以太网协议,将该分包后的多个子数据包封装为以太网数据。
本发明实施例中,上述光接入设备封装分包后的多个子数据包,得到数字电信号形式的第二下行数据之后,该光接入设备还可以为数字电信号形式的第二下行数据分配发送该数字电信号形式的第二下行数据的信道和为该数字电信号形式的第二下行数据分配传输该数字电信号形式的第二下行数据的带宽。例如光接入设备可以为数字电信号形式的第二下行数据分配信道质量较好的下行信道和为该数字电信号形式的第二下行数据分配能够满足该数字电信号形式的第二下行数据的传输速率需求的带宽,从而使得数字电信号形式的第二下行数据在下行信道中顺利地传输。
需要说明的是,本发明实施例提供的光接入系统中可以包括至少一个光接入设备,光接入设备的数量可以根据实际使用需求确定,本发明实施例不作具体限定。
本发明实施例中,光接入设备可以将该数字电信号形式的第二下行数据以数字光信号形式分别发送给至少一个PHY处理实体。具体的,可以由光接入设备将数字电信号形式的第二下行数据转换为数字光信号,然后再发送给至少一个PHY处理实体。
需要说明的是,本发明实施例中,可以由光接入设备中的接口单元将数字电信号形式的第二下行数据转换为数字光信号形式的第二下行数据,也可以由具有信号形式转换功能的其他功能单元将数字电信号形式的第二下行数据转换为数字光信号形式的第二下行数据,本发明实施例不作限定。
可选的,本发明实施例中,上述第二处理可以包括:将数字光信号形式的下行数据转换为数字电信号形式的下行数据,并且将数字电信号形式的下行数据转换为模拟电信号形式的下行数据。
示例性的,本发明实施例中,上述至少一个PHY处理实体中的每个PHY处理实体在其PHY层对数字电信号形式的第二下行数据做第二处理,可以包括:每个PHY处理实体将其接收到的数字光信号形式的第二下行数据转换为数字电信号形式的下行数据,并且将该数字电信号形式的下行数据转换为模拟电信号形式的下行数据,即上述模拟电信号形式的第三下行数据。
需要说明的是,本发明实施例中,上述光接入系统中,在传输下行数据的过程中,该光接入系统(具体为该光接入系统中的PHY处理实体)可以将其输出的模拟电信号形式的下行数据(即上述模拟电信号形式的第三下行数据)发送给终端设备一侧的CM。为了解决模拟电信号形式的下行数据在传输过程中的线性失真问题,可以由PHY处理实体(通常PHY处理实体位于终 端设备一侧的CM附近)将数字光信号形式的下行数据转换为数字电信号形式的下行数据后,再将该数字电信号形式的下行数据转换为模拟电信号形式的下行数据。由于数字信号在传输过程中抗干扰能力强,即数字信号的稳定性比较好,因此以数字信号形式传输下行数据可以降低下行数据在传输过程中的线性失真。
本发明实施例提供的光接入系统,该光接入系统中位于局端的光接入设备可以接收第一下行数据,并且在该光接入设备中的MAC层对该第一下行数据做第一处理,得到数字电信号形式的第二下行数据,以及将该数字电信号形式的第二下行数据以数字光信号形式分别发送给光接入系统中位于远端的至少一个PHY处理实体。该至少一个PHY处理实体中的每一个PHY处理实体接收光接入设备发送的数字光信号形式的第二下行数据,并且在PHY层对该数字光信号形式的第二下行数据做第二处理,得到模拟电信号形式的第三下行数据,以及将该模拟电信号形式的第三下行数据发送给CM,由CM对其接收的模拟电信号形式的第三下行数据解调后发送给终端设备,从而实现终端设备接收光网络发送的第一下行数据。与现有技术相比,本发明实施例提供的光接入系统中,由于可以在位于局端的光接入设备中的MAC层对第一下行数据做第一处理,在位于远端的PHY处理实体中的PHY层对数字光信号形式的第二下行数据做第二处理,因此远端一侧的设备中无需再集成MAC层的功能,即远端一侧的设备无需对第一下行数据做第一处理,从而本发明实施例能够使得远端一侧的设备降低由于第一处理带来的功耗,即本发明实施例提供的光接入系统能够降低远端一侧的设备的功耗。
本发明实施例中,光接入系统中的PHY处理实体有多个时,由于可以将光接入设备中的MAC层处理后的数字电信号形式的第二下行数据以数字光信号形式分别发送给该多个PHY处理实体中的每一个PHY处理实体,从而无需在远端一侧的设备上集成多个MAC层的功能(通常,在远端一侧的设备上,MAC功能实体与PHY处理实体成对存在,即一个PHY处理实体对应一个MAC功能实体),因此可以在一定程度上可以降低光接入系统传输下行数据所花费的成本。
可选的,结合图2,如图3所示,本发明实施例提供的光接入系统还可以包括分光器22。光接入设备20与至少一个PHY处理实体21中的每个PHY处理实体经该分光器22连接,该光接入系统中的光接入设备可以通过该分光器22将数字光信号形式的第二下行数据分发给每个PHY处理实体。
本发明实施例中,分光器可以用于分发下行数据。该分光器可以包括至少一个上行光接口和多个下行光接口。该分光器可以从该分光器的一个上行光接口接收上一级设备(例如光接入设备(例如OLT))输出的数字光信号形式的下行数据(例如上述的数字光信号形式的第二下行数据),并将该数字光信号形式的下行数据分配到该分光器的多个下行光接口,进而通过该多个下行光接口将该数字光信号形式的下行数据发送给与该分光器连接的多个下一级设备。
需要说明的是,本发明实施例中,上述分光器的下行光接口的数量通常大于或者等于与该分光器的下行光接口连接的PHY处理实体的数量。
示例性的,本发明实施例中,上述如图3所示的分光器22可以将数字光信号形式的第二下行数据分配到分光器22的N(N>=1)个下行光接口,该N个下行光接口中的每一个光接口分别与至少一个PHY处理实体中的一个PHY处理实体连接,进而分光器可以通过该分光器的N个下行光接口将该数字光信号形式的第二下行数据发送给至少一个PHY处理实体21。其中,光接入系统中PHY处理实体的数量为N个。
本发明实施例中,由于光接入设备可以通过分光器将该光接入设备输出的数字光信号形式的第二下行数据发送给多个PHY处理实体,由多个PHY处理实体将各自处理后的模拟电信号形式的第三下行数据发送给终端设备一侧的不同的CM,因此能够实现将下行数据发送给多个不同的CM,如此光接入系统中可以无需采用多个光接入设备,能够可以节省光接入系统的传输成本。
需要说明的是,对于本发明实施例提供的光接入系统中的光接入设备的结构、光接入设备处理和传输下行数据的过程将在下述实施例中进行详细地描述。
下面再以在光接入系统中传输上行数据为例,对本发明实施例提供的光接入系统进行示例性的说明。
如图2所示,为本发明实施例提供一种光接入系统的架构示意图,该光接入系统包括光接入设备20和与该光接入设备20连接的至少一个PHY处理实体21。
其中,至少一个PHY处理实体21中的每个PHY处理实体用于接收与该PHY处理实体连接的至少一个CM发送的模拟电信号形式的上行数据(以下均称为模拟电信号形式的第一上行数据),并且每个PHY处理实体在PHY层处理该模拟电信号形式的第一上行数据,得到数字光信号形式的第二上行数据,以及将该数字光信号形式的第二上行数据发送给光接入设备20。
如图2所示的光接入设备20用于接收至少一个PHY处理单元发送的发送的数字光信号形式的第二上行数据,并且可以在该光接入设备20中将该数字光信号形式的第二上行数据转换为数字电信号形式的第二上行数据,以及在该光接入设备中的MAC层处理该数字电信号形式的第二上行数据,得到数字电信号形式的第三上行数据,并且该光接入设备将该数字电信号形式的第三上行数据发送给光网络中的设备(例如交换机或路由器)或者将该数字电信号形式的第三上行数据以数字光信号形式发送给光网络中的设备,从而可以实现上行数据的传输。
可选的,本发明实施例中,上述至少一个PHY处理实体处理模拟电信号形式的第一上行数据可以包括:将该模拟电信号形式的第一上行数据转换为数字电信号形式的上行数据,并且将数字电信号形式的上行数据转换为数字光信号形式的上行数据。
示例性的,本发明实施例中,上述至少一个PHY处理实体接收到的模拟电信号形式的第一上行数据可以为请求数据,该请求数据可以包括终端设备的上网认证数据和终端设备的视频请求数据,上述至少一个PHY处理实体中的每个PHY处理实体接收到与该PHY处理实体连接的至少一个CM发送的模拟电信号形式的第一上行数据后,可以在其PHY层将该模拟电信号形式的第一上行数据转换为数字电信号形式的上行数据,然后将该数字电信号形式的上行数据转换为数字光信号形式的上行数据,得到数字光信号形式的第二上行数据,再将该数字光信号形式的第二上行数据发送给光接入设备。
可选的,本发明实施例中,上述光接入设备在其MAC层处理数字电信号形式的第二上行数据可以包括:解封装该数字电信号形式的第二上行数据。示例性的,上述光接入设备可以在其MAC层解封装该数字电信号形式的第二上行数据,例如,可以按照以太网协议解封装该数字电信号形式的第二上行数据,得到数字电信号形式的第三上行数据。
本发明实施例提供的光接入系统,该光接入系统中的至少一个PHY处理实体中的每个PHY处理实体可以接收与该PHY处理实体连接的至少一个CM发送的模拟电信号形式的上行数据(例如上述的模拟电信号形式的第一上行数据),并且在其PHY层处理该模拟电信号形式的第一上行数据,得到数字光信号形式的第二上行数据,以及将该数字光信号形式的第二上行数据发送给光接入设备。光接入设备接收至少一个PHY处理实体发送的数字光信号形式的第二上行数据,并且将该数字光信号形式的第二上行数据转换为数字电信号形式的第二上行数据,以及在其MAC层处理该数字电信号形式的第二上行数据,得到数字电信号形式的第三上行数据,以及将该数字电信号形式的第三上行数据发送给光网络中的设备或者将该数字电信号形式的第三上行数据以数字光信号形式发送给光网络中的设备。与现有技术相比,本发明实施例提供的光接入系统中,由于可以在位于远端的PHY处理实体中的PHY层处理模拟电信号形式的第一上行数据,在位于局端的光接入设备中的MAC层处理数字电信号形式的第二上行数据,因此远端一侧的设备中无需再集成MAC层的功能,从而本发明实施例能够使得远端一侧的设备在一定程度上降低由于在MAC层处理数字电信号形式的第二上行数据带来的功耗,即本发明实施例提供的光接入系统能够降低远端一侧的设备的功耗。
本发明实施例中,光接入系统中的PHY处理实体有多个时,由于可以在该光接入系统中的光接入设备中的MAC层处理终端设备经多个CM和多个PHY处理实体发送的第一上行数据,从而无需在远端一侧的设备上集成多个MAC层的功能(通常,在远端一侧的设备上,MAC功能实体与PHY处理实体成对存在,即一个PHY处理实体对应一个MAC功能实体),因此可以在一定程度上可以降低光接入系统传输上行数据所花费的成本。
可选的,如图3所示,光接入系统还可以包括分光器22。光接入设备20与至少一个PHY处理实体21中的每个PHY处理实体经该分光器22连接,该分光器22用于集中每个PHY处理实体发送的数字光信号形式的第二上行 数据,并且将集中后的数字光信号形式的第二上行数据发送给光接入设备。

对于分光器的其他描述具体可以参见上述实施例中(在光接入系统中传输下行数据的过程中)对于分光器的相关描述,此处不再赘述。
需要说明的是,本发明实施例中,对于在传输上行数据的过程中对光接入系统的其他描述,可以参见上述在传输下行数据的过程中对光接入系统的相关描述,此处不再赘述。
本发明实施例提供一种光接入设备,该光接入设备(通常,光接入设备位于局端)可以传输上行数据和下行数据。具体的,在传输下行数据的过程中,光接入设备可以接收光网络中的设备发送的下行数据(例如视频数据等),并处理该下行数据,得到数字光信号形式的下行数据,且将该数字光信号形式的下行数据发送给位于远端的PHY处理实体,并经PHY处理实体将该数字光信号形式的下行数据转化为模拟电信号形式的下行数据后,通过CM将该模拟电信号形式的下行数据发送给终端设备,从而实现下行数据的传输。在传输上行数据的过程中,光接入设备可以接收终端设备经CM和PHY处理实体发送的上行数据(例如终端设备的请求数据,该上行数据为数字光信号形式),并将该数字光信号形式的上行数据转换为数字电信号形式的上行数据,且处理该数字电信号形式的上行数据,以及数字电信号形式的上行数据发送给光网络中的设备或者将该数字电信号形式的上行数据以数字光信号形式发送给光网络中的设备,从而实现上行数据的传输。下面分别以传输下行数据和上行数据为例,对本发明实施例提供的光接入设备进行详细地说明。
首先,以在光接入设备中传输下行数据为例,对本发明实施例提供的光接入设备进行示例性的说明。
如图4所示,为本发明实施例提供的一种光接入设备的结构示意图,该光接入设备包括交换控制单元30以及与该交换控制单元30连接的上联处理单元31和MAC资源处理单元32。
其中,上联处理单元31用于接收光网络中的设备(例如交换机或路由器)发送的下行数据(例如第一下行数据),并且将该第一下行数据发送给交换控制单元30。
交换控制单元30用于接收上联处理单元31发送的第一下行数据,并且将该第一下行数据发送给MAC资源处理单元32,以及接收该MAC资源处理单元32发送的数字电信号形式的第二下行数据。
MAC资源处理单元32用于接收上述交换控制单元30发送的第一下行数据,并且在MAC层对第一下行数据做第一处理,即在MAC层处理该第一下行数据,得到数字电信号形式的第二下行数据,以及将该数字电信号形式的第二下行数据发送给交换控制单元30。
本发明实施例中,如图4所示的上联处理单元31可以为与光网络中的设备(例如交换机或路由器)连接的接口板。该上联处理单元31可以接收光网络中的交换机或路由器发送的第一下行数据,该第一下行数据可以为数字电信号形式的下行数据,也可以为数字光信号形式的下行数据。由于在光接入设备的各个单元中处理第一下行数据的过程中,光接入设备的各个单元可以处理数字电信号形式的下行数据,不能处理数字光信号形式的下行数据,因此,当上述上联处理单元31接收到的第一下行数据为数字光信号形式的下行数据时,该上联处理单元31可以将该数字光信号形式的第一下行数据转换为数字电信号形式的第一下行数据,然后再将转换后的数字电信号形式的第一下行数据发送给交换控制单元30。
可选的,本发明实施例中,上述上联处理单元还可以用于将转换其接收到的下行数据(该下行数据为视频数据)的码率,即上联处理单元可以将其接收到的下行数据的码率转换为光接入设备要求的码率。示例性的,上联处理单元接收到的下行数据的码率为10.3125千兆比特每秒(Gbps),而光接入设备要求的码率为12.5Gbps,则该上联处理单元可以将该下行数据的码率转换为12.5Gbps。
可选的,本发明实施例中,上述上联处理单元还可以用于转换其接收到的下行数据(该下行数据为电信号形式)的电平的编码格式,即上联处理单元可以将其接收到的下行数据的电平的编码格式转换为光接入设备可以处理的电平的编码格式,例如可以即将其接收到的下行数据由千兆以太网(Gigabit Ethernet,GE)编码格式转换为不归零(Non Return Zero,NRZ)编码格式。
本发明实施例中,上述交换控制单元30可以用于交换光接入设备中的各个单元之间的数据,例如,该交换控制单元30可以接收上联处理单元31发送的第一下行数据,并将该第一下行数据发送给MAC资源处理单元32,然后再接收MAC资源处理单元32处理后的数字电信号形式的第二下行数据,并将该数字电信号形式的第二下行数据发送给该光接入设备中的接口单元。
可选的,本发明实施例中,上述交换控制单元30还可以用于控制光接入设备中的其他单元(例如上联处理单元31和MAC资源处理单元32等),具体可以为:交换控制单元30可以监控光接入设备的各个单元的状态(例如, 各个单元之间的连接是否异常,各个单元的运行是否正常),并且根据光接入设备的各个单元的状态分别对各个单元进行控制和管理。
本发明实施例中,上述MAC资源处理单元在MAC层对第一下行数据做第一处理可以包括:对第一下行数据分包和封装。
对于MAC资源处理单元在MAC层对第一下行数据做第一处理具体可以参见上述光接入系统中光接入设备在其MAC层对第一下行数据做第一处理的相关描述,此处不再赘述。
可选的,本发明实施例中,上述光接入设备中的MAC资源处理单元的数量可以为至少一个。示例性的,以一个MAC资源处理单元(以下简称为第一MAC资源处理单元,例如可以为上述如图4所示的MAC资源处理单元32)为例,该第一MAC资源处理单元在MAC层对第一下行数据做第一处理,得到数字电信号形式的第二下行数据后,该第一MAC资源处理单元可以将该数字电信号形式的第二下行数据发送给与该第一MAC资源处理单元连接的交换控制单元,该第一MAC资源处理单元还可以将该数字电信号形式的第二下行数据保存在该第一MAC资源处理单元中(具体可以保存在该第一MAC资源处理单元的存储模块中)。如此,在该第二下行数据发生错误(例如丢失)时,可以重新在该第一MAC资源处理单元中读取已保存的第二下行数据(数字电信号形式的第二下行数据),从而能够避免由于第二下行数据发生错误而导致该第二下行数据传输失败的问题。
进一步的,上述至少一个MAC资源处理单元中的每个MAC资源处理单元均与交换控制单元连接。并且每个MAC资源处理单元与上述如图4所示的MAC资源处理单元32的具有相同的功能,对于该至少一个MAC资源处理单元的具体描述,可以参见上述对于上述如图4所示MAC资源处理单元32的相关描述。示例性的,该至少一个MAC资源处理单元中的一个MAC资源处理单元(例如上述的第一MAC资源处理单元)可以将其在MAC层处理得到的数字电信号形式的第二下行数据保存在该第一MAC资源处理单元中,该至少一个MAC资源处理单元中的其他MAC资源处理单元(即该至少一个MAC资源处理单元中除第一MAC资源处理单元之外的MAC资源处理单元)中的每个MAC资源处理单元也可以将其在MAC层处理得到的数字电信号形式的第二下行数据保存在该每个MAC资源处理单元中(具体可以保存在该每个MAC资源处理单元的存储模块中)。如此,在第一MAC资源处理单元发生故障而无法处理和传输数据时,可以将数据传输业务切换到其他的MAC资源处理单元中任意一个正常的MAC资源处理单元,从而能够避免由于第一MAC资源处理单元发生故障而导致第二下行数据传输失败的问题。
可以理解的是,本发明实施例中,上述至少一个MAC资源处理单元中的每个MAC资源处理单元可以与通过交换控制单元上的不同接口与该交换控制单元连接。
需要说明的是,本发明实施例中,上述光接入设备中的MAC资源处理单元的数量可以根据实际使用需求确定,本发明实施例不作具体限定。
本发明实施例提供的光接入设备,该光接入设备中的上联处理单元可以接收第一下行数据,并将该第一下行数据发送给交换控制单元。交换控制单元接收到上联处理单元发送的第一下行数据之后,将该第一下行数据发送给MAC资源处理单元。MAC资源处理单元接收交换控制的发送的第一下行数据,并且在MAC层对第一下行数据做第一处理,得到数字电信号形式的第二下行数据,以及将该数字电信号形式的第二下行数据发送给交换控制单元。与现有技术相比,本发明实施例中,由于可以在位于局端的光接入设备中设置MAC资源处理单元,从而可以在该光接入设备中完成在MAC层处理(即上述的第一处理)光网络中的下行数据(即第一下行数据),因此在远端一侧的设备中无需再集成MAC层的功能,从而本发明实施例能够使得远端一侧的设备在一定程度上降低由于在MAC层处理第一下行数据带来的功耗,即本发明实施例提供的光接入设备能够降低远端一侧的设备的功耗。
可选的,结合图4,如图5所示,本发明实施例提供的光接入设备还可以包括与交换控制单元30连接的视频资源处理单元33。当光网络中的设备发送的下行数据(例如第一下行数据)为视频数据时,该视频资源处理单元33用于处理该视频数据。
其中,如图5所示的上联处理单元31具体用于接收到光网络中的设备发送的视频数据(即第一下行数据),并且将该视频数据发送给交换控制单元30。
交换控制单元30具体用于接收上联处理单元31发送的视频数据,并将该视频数据发送给视频资源处理单元33,且接收视频资源处理单元33发送的经该视频资源处理单元33处理后的视频数据,并将该处理后的视频数据发送给MAC资源处理单元32,以及接收MAC资源处理单元32发送的数字电信号形式的第二下行数据(即MAC资源处理单元32在MAC层处理后的数字电信号形式的下行数据)。
视频资源处理单元33用于接收上述交换控制单元发送的视频数据,并且可以对该视频数据做第二处理,以及将该处理后的视频数据发送给交换控制单元30。
MAC资源处理单元32具体用于接收上述交换控制单元30发送的由视频资源处理单元33处理后的视频数据,并且在MAC层对该处理后的视频数据做第一处理,得到数字电信号形式的第二下行数据,以及将该数字电信号形式的第二下行数据发送给交换控制单元30。
需要说明的是,本实施例(如图5所示的光接入设备)中,视频资源处理单元对其接收到的视频数据做第二处理可以理解为:视频资源处理单元对该视频数据做视频处理。为了区分此处的第二处理(即视频处理)与上述实施例(如图2或图3所示的光接入系统)中光接入系统中的PHY处理实体对其接收到的数字光信号形式的第二下行数据在其PHY层做的第二处理,可以将此处的第二处理,即视频处理称为第三处理,下述实施例均以视频处理或者第三处理表示视频资源处理单元中的第二处理。
本发明实施例中,对于上联处理单元的具体描述可以参见上述实施例中 对于上联处理单元的相关描述,此处不再赘述。
对于交换控制单元的具体描述可以参见上述实施例中对于交换控制单元单元的相关描述,此处不再赘述。
可选的,本发明实施例中,上述视频处理可以包括:将视频数据重组和加密等。
示例性的,本发明实施例中,上述视频资源处理单元对其接收到的视频数据做视频处理,可以包括将视频数据重组和加密等。通常,视频资源处理单元接收到的视频数据可以包括多类视频数据,视频资源处理单元可以筛选该多类视频数据中的至少一类视频数据(即终端设备请求的视频数据,以下均称为请求视频数据),然后将该请求视频数据加密,得到加密后的请求视频数据,即上述的处理后的视频数据,再将该处理后的视频数据发送给交换控制单元。
示例性的,假设视频资源处理单元接收到的视频数据包括某个电视台的频段1至频段12上提供的视频数据,而终端设备(该终端设备可以有多个)请求的视频数据包括该电视台的频段1、频段3、频段5和频段8上提供的视频数据,则视频资源处理单元可以从其接收到的频段1至频段12上提供的视频数据中筛选出该终端设备所请求的视频数据,即可以筛选出该地方电视台的频段1、频段3、频段5和频段8上提供的视频数据,以得到请求视频数据。
本发明实施例中,视频资源处理单元可以采用数据加密算法,对上述请求视频数据加密,得到处理后的视频数据,然后再将该处理后的视频数据发送给交换控制单元,进而通过光接入系统中的其他设备(例如PHY处理实体)将该处理后的视频数据发送给CM,CM接收到该处理后的视频数据后,可以采用与光接入设备约定的数据解密算法,解密该处理后的视频数据,从而得到加密前的视频数据,即终端设备请求的视频数据。
本发明实施例中,在视频数据的传输过程中,光接入设备中的视频资源处理单元可以对视频数据加密,CM可以对视频数据解密。通过设置加密解密机制可以防止视频数据在传输的过程中被篡改,保证视频数据安全地传输。进一步的,对视频数据加密后,对于请求该视频数据且已经对该视频数据付费的终端设备可以按照约定的解密算法,解密该视频数据,从而可以获取该视频数据。
可选的,本发明实施例中,上述光接入设备中的视频资源处理单元的数量可以为至少一个。示例性的,以一个视频资源处理单元(以下简称为第一视频资源处理单元,例如可以为上述如图5所示的视频资源处理单元33)为例,该第一视频资源处理单元对上述视频数据(即第一下行数据)做视频处理,得到处理后的视频数据之后,该第一视频资源处理单元可以将该处理后的视频数据发送给与该第一视频资源处理单元连接的交换控制单元,该第一视频资源处理单元还可以将该处理后的视频数据保存在该第一视频资源处理单元中(具体可以保存在该第一视频资源处理单元的存储模块中)。如此,在该处理后的视频数据发生错误(例如丢失)时,可以重新在该第一视频资源 处理单元中读取已保存的处理后的视频数据,从而能够避免由于处理后的视频数据发生错误而导致该处理后的视频数据传输失败的问题。
进一步的,上述至少一个视频资源处理单元中的每个视频资源处理单元均与交换控制单元连接。并且每个视频资源处理单元与上述如图5所示的视频资源处理单元33具有相同的功能,对于该至少一个视频资源处理单元的具体描述,可以参见上述如图5所示的视频资源处理单元33的相关描述。示例性的,该至少一个视频资源处理单元中的一个视频资源处理单元(例如上述的第一视频资源处理单元)可以将其处理得到的处理后的视频数据保存在该第一视频资源处理单元中,该至少一个视频资源处理单元中的其他视频资源处理单元(即该至少一个视频资源处理单元中除上述第一视频资源处理单元之外的视频资源处理单元)中的每个视频资源处理单元也可以将其处理得到的处理后的视频数据保存在该每个视频资源处理单元中(具体可以保存在该每个视频资源处理单元的存储模块中),如此,在第一视频资源处理单元发生故障而无法处理和传输数据时,可以将视频数据传输业务切换到其他的视频资源处理单元中任意一个正常的视频资源处理单元,从而能够避免由于第一视频资源处理单元发生故障而导致该处理后的视频数据传输失败的问题。
可以理解的是,本发明实施例中,上述至少一个视频资源处理单元中的每个视频资源处理单元可以与通过交换控制单元上的不同接口与该交换控制单元连接。
需要说明的是,本发明实施例中,上述光接入设备中的视频资源处理单元的数量具体可以根据实际使用需求确定,本发明实施例不作具体限定。
结合图5,如图6所示,本发明实施例提供的光接入设备还可以包括与交换控制单元30连接的接口单元34。
其中,交换控制单元30具体用于将上述数字电信号形式的第二下行数据发送给接口单元34;该接口单元34用于接收交换控制单元30发送的数字电信号形式的第二下行数据,并且可以将该数字电信号形式的第二下行数据转换为转换为数字光信号形式的第二下行数据,以及将该数字光信号的第二下行数据形式发送给位于远端的PHY处理实体。
本发明实施例中,光接入设备内部的各个单元(例如交换控制单元、视频资源处理单元和MAC资源处理单元)处理和交互下行数据的过程中,该下行数据均为数字电信号形式,当光接入设备中的各个单元完成下行数据的处理后,该光接入设备中的接口单元可以将该光接入设备中的交换控制单元发送的经视频资源处理单元和MAC资源处理单元处理后得到的数字电信号形式的第二下行数据转换为数字光信号形式的第二下行数据,从而将该数字光信号形式的第二下行数据发送给位于远端的至少一个PHY处理实体。
可选的,本发明实施例中,上述接口单元可以包括点对多点的无源光纤网络(Passive Optical Network,PON)接口板和点对点(Point to Point,P2P)接口板中的至少一种。具体的,本发明实施例中的接口单元可以根据实际使用需求选择,本发明实施例不作限定。
需要说明的是,本发明实施例提供的光接入设备中,上述如图4所示的上联处理单元31与交换控制单元30可以为两个独立的单元。或者,上述如图4所示的上联处理单元31与交换控制单元30可以为一个集成单元,即该上联处理单元31的功能与该交换控制单元30的功能可以集成在一个单元中。具体的,可以根据实际使用需求选择,本发明实施例不作具体限定。
需要说明的是,本发明实施例中,由于上述光接入设备中的各个单元(例如上联处理单元、视频资源处理单元、MAC资源处理单元和接口单元)不能直接交互,即该各个单元中的任意两个单元之间不能直接传输数据,因此该各个单元中的任意两个单元之间均通过交换控制单元传输数据。例如,如果一个单元与另一个单元交互数据,则该一个单元可以将该数据发送给交换控制单元,由交换控制单元转发给该另一个单元。
下面再以在光接入设备中传输上行数据为例,对本发明实施例提供的光接入设备进行示例性的说明。

本发明实施例中,上述上联处理单元可以将其接收到的数字电信号形式的第二上行数据直接发送给光网络中的设备。或者该上联处理单元可以将其接收到的该数字电信号形式的第二上行数据转换为数字光信号形式的第二上行数据,然后再将该数字光信号形式的第二上行数据发送给光网络中的设备。
如图6所示,本发明实施例提供的光接入设备还可以包括与交换控制单元30连接的接口单元34。该接口单元34用于接收数字光信号形式的第一上行数据,并且将数字光信号形式的第一上行数据转换为数字光信号形式的第一上行数据,以及将该数字光信号形式的第一上行数据发送给交换控制单元 30。
本发明实施例中,上述接口单元可以接收光接入系统中位于远端的PHY处理实体发送的数字光信号形式的上行数据(即上述的数字光信号形式的第一上行数据),并且将该数字光信号形式的第一上行数据转换为数字电信号形式的上行数据,以及将该数字电信号形式的第一上行数据发送给交换控制单元,从而光接入设备中的各个单元(例如交换控制单元和MAC资源处理单元)可以处理和交互该数字电信号形式的第一上行数据。
