Optical transmission system with two-mode ring protection mechanism for prioritized client signals
InactiveUS20060013584A1Efficient use of bandwidthImprove fault toleranceRing-type electromagnetic networksWavelength-division multiplex systemsFault toleranceSurvivability
An optical transmission system that offers more efficient bandwidth usage in normal operation, as well as enhanced fault tolerance for higher service availability. A transponder converts high-priority and low-priority client signals into high-priority and low-priority wavelength signals to be added to network traffic. An optical switch fabric normally delivers high-priority and low-priority wavelength signals to high-priority and low-priority paths, respectively, where the two paths run in opposite directions. Such signals and paths are prioritized in terms of survivability against network failure. In case of a network failure, the optical switch fabric performs protection switching in either duplicate switching mode or path switchover mode depending on network failure information and drop wavelengths of each optical transmission device. In duplicate switching mode, high-priority wavelength signals are directed to both the high-priority and low-priority paths. In path switchover mode, they are routed to the low-priority path, instead of the high-priority path.
