AI Technical Summary
Existing NG-PON systems face difficulties in fault detection and localization, especially due to the difficulty in distinguishing between low signal power and reflected signals caused by the superposition of backscattered signals from multiple branches. This limits the applicability of traditional OTDR methods, while also presenting the problem of high operating costs.
A collaborative passive optical network architecture integrating sensing, communication, and computing is adopted, combining fiber optic sensing units, fiber optic communication units, and artificial intelligence-based optical computing units. By monitoring the physical layer status through fiber optic sensing and analyzing OTDR trace events using AI models, high-precision fault detection and location are achieved.
It enables automated and autonomous fault detection and location of NG-PON systems, reduces operating costs, improves the efficiency and accuracy of fault monitoring, and supports self-configuration, self-optimization, and self-repair capabilities.
