TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of multiplex communication, and particularly relates to a multi-service multiplexing multi-wavelength optical fiber router. BACKGROUND
[0002] At present, under the background of three-network integration of communication network, broadband Internet and broadcast television network and vigorous promotion of optical fiber to the home, in order to provide users with communication services, broadband Internet services and broadcast television services, the broadcast television network basically adopts (Digital Video Broadcasting, DVB) + PON (Passive Optical Network), IP broadcast + PON or completely adopts IPTV (Internet Protocol TV) mode to realize optical fiber to the home. Among them, in the scheme of realizing optical fiber to the home by the IPTV mode of the broadcast television network, the broadcast television network gives up the characteristics of transmitting broadcast television services through independent channels, which inevitably cannot meet the demand of high-quality transmission of broadcast television services. In the DVB+PON and IP broadcast+PON technical schemes, the broadcast television network retains an independent broadcast channel, which can ensure the safe broadcast property of broadcast television services while meeting the broadcast-level transmission quality of high-definition and ultra-high-definition 4K / 8K services. However, there are still some problems in the DVB+PON and IP broadcast+PON technical schemes, especially in the DVB+PON scheme. The TS stream is transmitted on the original cable television point by using QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) modulation technology, the transmission rate of one frequency point is 38M, and the transmission rate of all effective frequency points is less than 3 GE. If a set of 36M code rate 4K program is to be transmitted, only one set of 4K program can be transmitted by one frequency point. If a set of 120M code rate 8K program is to be transmitted, at least three frequency points need to be bound to transmit a set of 8K program. As can be seen, although optical fiber to the home is realized, due to the limitation of QAM frequency points, it is impossible to meet the demand of transmitting more ultra-high-definition 4K / 8K services.
[0003] Further, in the DVB+PON scheme, in addition to the above-mentioned frequency point problem, there are also compatibility problems and high cost of home access. For example, Figure 1 Fig. 1 shows a schematic diagram of the access network of the DVB+PON scheme, Figure 1 mainly composed of a DVB broadcast optical signal amplifier 0101, a PON network local terminal device 0110, a single-fiber home user 0114, a double-fiber home user 0115 and an ODN (Optical Distribution Network) part between the local terminal and the user. In the DVB+PON scheme, Figure 1In this process, DVB broadcasts are modulated onto a 1550nm optical wavelength for transmission, and are delivered to the home along with the 1490nm downlink and 1310nm uplink wavelengths of the PON network. Therefore, there are two modes for home delivery: single-fiber three-wave and dual-fiber three-wave.
[0004] Depend on Figure 1 As can be seen, in the single-fiber three-wavelength drop mode, the 1550nm wavelength optical signal carrying DVB broadcast and the 1490 / 1310nm wavelength optical signal carrying data services from the PON network are combined in the multiplexer 0105 and then connected to the single-fiber drop user 0114 via the drop fiber 0108 carrying the three wavelengths of 1550nm / 1490nm / 1310nm. After being split by the demultiplexer, the broadcast signal carrying the 1550nm wavelength is connected to the DVB set-top box and then to the television set to receive and watch broadcast television programs. Meanwhile, the 1490 / 1310nm wavelength optical signal carrying data services is connected to the PON network drop gateway and then connected to mobile phones, computers, and other application terminals via the home router to access data services.
[0005] In the dual-fiber, triple-wavelength drop mode, neither the 1550nm wavelength broadcast signal nor the 1490 / 1310nm wavelength optical signal from the PON network carrying data services is combined. The 1550nm wavelength broadcast signal enters the home via fiber optic cable 0109, while the 1490 / 1310nm wavelength optical signal from the PON network carrying data services enters the home via fiber optic cable 0113. After entering the home, the indoor network for dual-fiber, triple-wavelength users is the same as for single-fiber, triple-wavelength users. The 1550nm wavelength broadcast signal is connected to the DVB set-top box 0117 and then to a television set for receiving broadcast television programs. The 1490 / 1310nm wavelength optical signal carrying data services is connected to the PON network gateway ONU (Optical Network Unit) and then to a home router for accessing mobile phones, computers, and other application terminals for data services.
[0006] exist Figure 1 In this system, there is a bidirectional network cable 0118 between the DVB set-top box 0117 and the gateway ONU 0119, enabling the television to receive and watch on-demand services in addition to broadcasting.
[0007] The aforementioned network fully realizes the goals of fiber optic and two-way communication for cable television networks, and can provide users with triple-play services. However, in addition to the frequency limitation issue mentioned earlier, it also has the following three problems:
[0008] 1) DVB broadcast into the home can only be watched on TV through DVB set-top box, can not be accessed through the router to other application terminals, there are two completely incompatible networks in the home, the essence is PON network and broadcast network independent home solution, the compatibility of multiple terminals in the home is insufficient;
[0009] 2) DVB+PON scheme access network, because the two-way service channel uses PON network technology, so there must be an ONU in the PON network, and multiple ONUs share a PON port access bandwidth through a 1:N optical splitter 0103, and the home bandwidth is insufficient.
[0010] 3) Two networks are independently accessed, and the operator provides an ONU and a DVB set-top box in the user's home, which is high in home access cost.
[0011] Further, as shown in Figure 2 is an IP broadcast+PON technology access network principle diagram. Figure 2 Compared with Figure 1 , the broadcast service is no longer a DVB standard QAM signal of QAM modulation mode transmission of TS stream, but a UDP data frame encapsulated by UDP protocol according to TCP / IP protocol standard of TS stream, and an IP broadcast stream transmitted at a rate of 10G / 25G, and at the access end, the IP broadcast stream is received by an IP broadcast+PON gateway formed by an IP broadcast stream receiving chip (ASIC) and an ONU gateway switching module instead of a DVB set-top box. In Figure 2 , whether it is a single fiber three wave home user 0114 or a double fiber three wave home user 0115, the user's home is equipped with a composite gateway 0207 and 0208 of ONU module+IP broadcast receiving module, which receives IP broadcast stream and data service through the composite gateway 0207 and 0208 of ONU module+IP broadcast receiving module, and accesses a television set through an IP set-top box 0209 to watch TV programs, and can also watch TV programs and data service through mobile phones, computers and other user terminals.
[0012] Further, Figure 2 , 10G / 25G rate transmission IP broadcast stream is used, which is 4 to 8 times the transmission rate of DVB broadcast, so as to solve the problem of limited transmission rate in DVB broadcast technology, and the terminal reception is through the IP broadcast or multicast to unicast receiving mechanism, which can solve the problem of insufficient compatibility of DVB technology in the two networks and multiple terminals in the home. However, Figure 2The system shown is a transmission scheme of superimposed broadcast channel on PON network. Since the bidirectional service channel adopts PON network technology, there is a problem of high home access cost caused by the necessity of equipping ONU in PON network. Multiple ONUs share one PON port access bandwidth through 1:N splitter, and there is a problem of insufficient home access bandwidth.
[0013] If the tree structure PON network is replaced by a comb structure network based on Ethernet technology in the above IP broadcast + PON technical scheme, the problems of low home access bandwidth and high home access cost in PON network can be solved, and the problem of repeated investment caused by the upgrading of PON network due to low home access bandwidth can also be solved.
[0014] As shown in Figure 3 , it is a comparison diagram of tree structure PON network and comb structure (star structure) network based on Ethernet technology. In Figure 3 , a is a schematic diagram of tree structure PON network. PON network mainly consists of OLT 0110, shared optical fiber 0111, 1:N splitter 0112, home optical fiber 0113 and ONU 0119. As can be seen from the principle block diagram of tree structure PON network, N users under 1:N splitter share the access bandwidth of one PON port. Taking GPON network as an example, when the downlink bandwidth of each PON port of OLT is 2.5G and N=32, the average bandwidth of each user is 2500M / 32=78M. If the concurrency rate is 30%, the concurrent bandwidth can reach 250M. In addition, PON technology adopts downlink data broadcast transmission, and uplink data is transmitted in time division multiplexing mode. Therefore, the user end must be equipped with home gateway ONU of operator assets to access the user end CPN network, so the home access cost is high.
[0015] In Figure 3 , b is a star structure network based on Ethernet technology, which consists of OLT 0301 and second independent optical fiber 0302 of each user. Since each user enjoys a user interface of OLT, when the user interface rate is 1000M, each user can enjoy 1000M rate bandwidth access. Since each user enjoys a user interface of OLT, the user does not need to equip home gateway of operator assets at home. The user only needs to equip optical-electric converter 0303 to access user electric port Wi-Fi router, or directly equip optical fiber Wi-Fi router 0304 to realize access of multiple terminals of users. Figure 3 , b shows the access network, which has the advantages of high access bandwidth and low home access cost.
[0016] However, in Figure 3The access network shown in b also has some problems: the issue of access networks that overlay IP broadcasts to form converged broadcast services has not been resolved. For example... Figure 4 The diagram shows a star-shaped access network based on Ethernet technology carrying communication and broadband internet services, a cable television network carrying IP broadcast services, and schematic diagrams of single-fiber-to-the-home and dual-fiber-to-the-home models. Figure 4 Both a and b share the following characteristics: both have single-fiber-to-the-home (SFW) users 0114 and dual-fiber-to-the-home (DIP) users 0115. SFW user 0114 uses a single-core fiber 0401 to carry 1550nm wavelength optical signals for broadcast services and 1490 / 1310nm wavelength optical signals for uplink / downlink data services, which are then combined by multiplexer 0105 to produce a single-fiber three-wavelength optical signal. DIP user 0115 uses a 0202 fiber carrying 1550nm wavelength optical signals for broadcast services and a second independent fiber 0302 carrying 1490 / 1310nm wavelength optical signals for uplink / downlink data services, both delivered through a separate channel.
[0017] Figure 4 The difference between A and B is that A is equipped with a single-fiber three-wave photoelectric conversion transceiver 0402 and a dual-fiber three-wave photoelectric conversion transceiver 0403, which can only realize one-way and two-way service photoelectric conversion functions. In other words, the single-fiber three-wave photoelectric conversion transceiver 0402 and the dual-fiber three-wave photoelectric conversion transceiver 0403 do not have a broadcast service protocol conversion function unit. As a result, IP broadcast services cannot be accessed through the home router 0120, but can only be accessed through the IP set-top box 0404 equipped with IP broadcast filtering function to the TV. Communication services and broadband Internet services are accessed through the home router 0120 for access by data service terminals such as mobile phones and computers. This results in two incompatible local area networks in the home. This inevitably leads to mobile phones, computers and other terminals being unable to watch cable TV services, and the TV being connected to the IP set-top box 0404 being unable to watch Internet content. Moreover, the remote controls of the TV and the IP set-top box 0404 are incompatible, requiring two remote controls to operate to watch cable TV programs, which is extremely inconvenient. If the TV is connected to the home router 0120, it can only watch internet TV and cannot watch cable TV services.
[0018] and Figure 4 In section b, the homes of single-fiber-to-the-home (0114) and dual-fiber-to-the-home (0115) are respectively equipped with single-fiber three-wavelength optical transceivers (0405 and 0406) that feature broadcast service photoelectric conversion + protocol conversion and forwarding units and multi-service multiplexing units. After protocol conversion, broadcast services, communication services, and broadband internet services are all connected to the home router (0120), enabling converged access for multiple terminals in the user's home. This solves the problem... Figure 4The two incompatible local area networks in the a family in the a exist the problem of inconvenient operation. When the communication service, the broadband Internet service and the cable television service enter the house at the same time, the cable television service cannot be accessed to the home router, resulting in the problems of two local area networks in the user's home, inconvenient operation and high cost of entering the house, and no effective solution has been proposed.

Based on this, the above-mentioned antenna part can use MIMO technology to realize spatial multiplexing through multiple antennas to improve the throughput.
[0089] The aforementioned multi-service multiplexing multi-wavelength fiber optic router differs from current home wireless routers in that it provides fiber optic WAN interfaces that can access two access networks. One interface connects to a network that can access communication services and broadband internet services, while the other interface connects to a cable TV baseband IP broadcast network. Through its built-in protocol conversion unit, it converts multicast streams of TS over UDP type broadcasts without enabling the IGMP protocol into unicast streams, which are then connected to the user's home television, computer, and mobile phone via wireless access and LAN access interfaces. This solves the technical problem of cable TV networks being unable to access the home network through a router, resulting in two local area networks in the user's home. With the multi-service multiplexing multi-wavelength fiber optic access wireless router provided in this example, users can seamlessly receive live broadcast services from the cable TV network's baseband IP broadcast on their televisions, computers, and mobile phones, experiencing the same quality as accessing IPTV services. Moreover, the transmission quality of broadcast television services is far superior to that of IPTV mode transmission, and the transmission quality of high-definition and ultra-high-definition 4K / 8K programs can reach broadcast-grade transmission standards.
[0090] The multi-service multiplexing multi-wavelength fiber optic access wireless router provided in this application offers multi-wavelength, multi-channel fiber optic interfaces on the core network side, enabling fiber optic access for communication services, broadband internet services, and IP broadcast cable television services. Furthermore, while possessing photoelectric conversion capabilities for the optical signals of communication services, broadband internet services, and cable television IP broadcast services, it also converts IP broadcast services into a unicast protocol compatible with multiple home terminals, allowing them to access the home CPN network along with communication services and broadband internet services. This solves the technical problem of insufficient compatibility of cable television network IP broadcast services in home networks. Through a single CPN network of the home wireless router, it provides users' local area networks with multi-services such as communication services, broadband internet services, and cable television services with unified protocols. This resolves the technical problem of cable television services being unable to access the home router when communication services, broadband internet services, and cable television services are simultaneously accessed, resulting in two local area networks in the user's home, inconvenient operation, and high installation costs.
[0091] Multi-service multiplexing multi-wavelength fiber optic routers, such as Figure 5 As shown, the multi-service multiplexing multi-wavelength fiber optic router may include: a drop fiber optic cable 0501, an optoelectronic conversion protocol conversion function unit 0502, and a routing function unit 0512, wherein:
[0092] The optoelectronic conversion protocol conversion function unit 0502 may include: a multi-wavelength / multi-channel fiber optic adapter module 0503, a unidirectional service optoelectronic conversion module 0506, a unidirectional service protocol conversion and forwarding unit 0508, and a bidirectional service optoelectronic conversion transceiver module 0509, wherein:

[0094] The multi-wavelength / multi-channel fiber adaptation module 0503 has single-fiber three-wave access adaptation and double-fiber three-wave access adaptation functions. When the home access optical fiber is a single-core optical fiber carrying 1550nm broadcast service and bidirectional service 1490nm / 1310nm three-wavelength optical signals, the multi-wavelength / multi-channel adaptation module can be composed of a single-fiber adapter and a wave splitter. Through the wave splitter, the unidirectional service optical wavelength is split to the unidirectional service optical-electric conversion module 0506, and the bidirectional service optical signal is split to the bidirectional service optical-electric conversion transceiver module 0509, to realize optical-electric conversion and uplink / downlink data reception and forwarding. When the home access optical fiber is a two-core optical fiber, one core carries 1550nm broadcast service and is accessed to the unidirectional service optical-electric conversion module 0506, and the other core carries bidirectional service 1490nm / 1310nm and is accessed to the bidirectional service optical-electric conversion transceiver module 0509.
[0095] To adapt to the single-fiber three-wave home access scenario, the multi-wavelength / multi-channel fiber adaptation module 0503 in FIG. 5 can be replaced by 0601 in FIG. 6. Figure 6 Figure 5 The multi-wavelength / multi-channel fiber adaptation module 0503 in FIG. 5 can be replaced by 0601 in FIG. 6. 0601 can be composed of a fiber adaptation seat 0603 and a combining / splitting wave filter 0605. The 1550nm wavelength optical signal carrying broadcast service signals and the 1490 / 1310nm wavelength optical signal carrying data service signals are combined to form a three-wavelength optical signal, which is accessed to the fiber adaptation seat 0603 through the single-core home access optical fiber 0401 and the LC adapter head 0602, and is split by the combining / splitting wave filter 0605. The 1550nm wavelength signal is accessed to the unidirectional service optical-electric conversion module 0506 through the optical interface 0505, and the 1490 / 1310nm wavelength optical signal is accessed to the bidirectional service optical-electric conversion transceiver module 0509.
[0096] To adapt to the double-fiber three-wave home access scenario, the multi-wavelength / multi-channel fiber adaptation module 0503 in FIG. 5 can be replaced by 0701 in FIG. 7. Figure 7 Figure 5 The multi-wavelength / multi-channel fiber adapter module 0503 in the multi-wavelength / multi-channel fiber adapter module 0503, wherein 0701 can include: a fiber adapter seat 0603 (one-way service fiber adapter seat and two-way service adapter seat), a 1550nm wavelength optical signal carrying broadcast service signals and a 1490 / 1310nm wavelength optical signal carrying data service signals, respectively through the first independent optical fiber 0202 and the second independent optical fiber 0302 and the LC adapter head 0602 access to the fiber adapter seat 0603, wherein the 1550nm wavelength signal 05022 accesses the one-way service optical-electric conversion module 0506, and the 1490 / 1310nm wavelength optical signal accesses the two-way service optical-electric conversion transceiver module 0509.
[0097] Figure 6 And Figure 7 For Figure 5 Actual embodiments, Figure 6 adapt to single fiber three wave home scene, Figure 7 adapt to double fiber three wave home scene, by Figure 5 , Figure 6 And Figure 7 It can be seen that the optical carrier carrying one-way service is accessed to the one-way service optical-electric conversion module 0506 through the optical interface 0505, and is accessed to the one-way service protocol conversion and forwarding unit 0508 through the input interface 0507 after optical-electric conversion. The protocol conversion unit encapsulates the destination broadcast stream into a unicast stream according to the user's request to watch and listen to the program, and forwards it to the routing function unit 0512 through the interface 0510. The routing function unit forwards the program stream requested by the destination user through routing and through its LAN interface to the user access terminal, realizing the listening and watching of broadcast television programs.
[0098] The 1490nm wavelength optical carrier signal carrying communication service and broadband internet service is accessed to the two-way service optical-electric conversion transceiver module 0509 through the access optical fiber 0504. The electrical signal after optical-electric conversion is accessed to the routing function unit 0512 through the interface 0511. The routing function unit forwards the data service stream requested by the destination user through its LAN interface to the user access terminal, realizing the service of communication and broadband internet service.
[0099] As Figure 8As shown, the unidirectional service photoelectric conversion module 0506 can include: an optical interface 0505, an optical receiving assembly (ROSA) 0801 composed of a photoelectric device PD (Photo-Diode), a trans-impedance amplifier (TIA), a limiting amplifier 0802, and a signal detection circuit. After the input optical signal is converted into an electrical signal by the photoelectric device PD, is amplified by the trans-impedance amplifier TIA and forms a differential signal, is further amplified and shaped by the limiting amplifier, and is output to the protocol conversion unit through the input interface 0507. At the same time, the unidirectional service photoelectric conversion module 0506 also provides an optical signal detection interface 0803 to provide a detection signal for real-time detection of the input optical signal for the control system.
[0100] As shown in the figure, Figure 9 The bidirectional service photoelectric conversion transceiver module 0509 can include: an access optical fiber 0504, a transceiving photoelectric conversion circuit 0901, an intermediate processing circuit 0902, and an optical signal detection interface 0904. The intermediate processing circuit 0902 includes: a burst laser amplifier driver, optical power monitoring / control, main amplification decision / limiting amplifier, and signal detection. For the differential electrical signal of the data bit stream to be forwarded, the input interface 0511T is accessed to the driving circuit to realize the driving of the electro-optical conversion device LD, so that the data stream to be forwarded is modulated to the 1310nm optical carrier by the electro-optical conversion device LD, and then accessed to the access optical fiber 0504 through the combining and splitting wave filter to realize the electro-optical conversion and data stream forwarding. In the receiving direction, the optical carrier of the 1490nm wavelength carrying the received data stream is accessed to the photosensitive device PD through the combining and splitting wave filter, the photosensitive diode PD converts the received optical signal into an electrical signal and accesses the input end of the trans-impedance amplifier TIA, and then the limiting amplifier is amplified and shaped. The differential signal of the bit stream is obtained through the output interface 0511R to realize the photoelectric conversion and reception of the received optical signal.
[0101] As shown in the figure, Figure 10 The unidirectional service protocol conversion forwarding unit 0508 can include: an input interface 0507, a management interface 1001, a power supply interface 1002, a power supply module 1014, an input end network interface module 1003, a filtering and forwarding module 1004, a main cache management module 1005, a protocol conversion and encapsulation forwarding module 1006, a unicast output network interface module 1007, a user request network interface module 1008, a user request, a permission management and port mapping management module 1009, a master control module 1010, a main storage module 1011, a clock management module 1012, a configuration management module 1013, a unicast stream output interface 0510T, and a user request interface 0510R. Wherein:
[0102] The input network interface module 1003 provides a 10G / 25G optional rate SerDes input interface 0507, which is connected to the output interface of the unidirectional service optical-electric conversion module 0506 and receives the serial signals of all multicast streams or broadcast streams output by the unidirectional service optical-electric conversion module 0506. The input network interface module 1003 is composed of a physical layer PMA (physical medium attachment sublayer), a PCS (physical coding sublayer), an MII interface layer, a MAC control layer and an input buffer (Rx Buffer). Among them:
[0103] The PMA sublayer recovers the input clock signal and the serial data stream, and after obtaining the recovered serial clock signal and the serial data stream, performs serial-parallel conversion on the serial data stream, and outputs the recovered clock signal and the parallel data stream to the PCS sublayer;
[0104] The PCS sublayer performs data block synchronization, descrambling, 64B / 66B code word decoding and removes the block synchronization header on the parallel data stream according to the provisions of the physical coding sublayer in IEEE802.3ae, and after obtaining the complete Ethernet data frame, transmits it to the MAC control layer through the MII interface;
[0105] The MAC control layer analyzes the Ethernet frame structure (such as source / destination MAC address, frame type), checks the frame integrity (CRC check), and after filtering invalid frames, writes valid data packets into the receive buffer (Rx Buffer). The buffer uses a first-in-first-out mechanism for data stream caching, and for the buffer, whether it is read or not, it is processed in the way that the advanced data is overwritten by the later data.
[0106] The filtering and forwarding module 1004 is used to filter the destination multicast stream according to the user's request from all multicast streams written into the receive buffer (Rx Buffer) at the above MAC layer, and then send it to the main cache management module 1005 for writing into the main cache.
[0107] The protocol conversion and encapsulation forwarding module 1006 is used to encapsulate the destination multicast stream into a unicast stream according to the user's request from the multicast stream written into the main cache by the above main cache management module, and then forward it to the destination user through the unicast output network interface.
[0108] The IP broadcast stream received by the multi-service multiplexing multi-wavelength optical fiber router is a multicast stream of all programs transmitted by the front-end platform to users and not starting the IGMP protocol, and is input to the input end of the multi-service multiplexing multi-wavelength optical fiber router in a flooding mechanism. After completing the photoelectric conversion, according to the user request, the destination program is converted into a unicast stream and then forwarded to the destination user. Further, the system adopts a non-dynamic port binding mechanism, that is, in the EPG (electronic program guide), the mapping relationship of the multicast address and the port address of the platform broadcast program and the source IP address and the port address after protocol conversion is explicitly defined, and this mapping is static. Under the premise that the program does not increase or decrease, the port binding is fixed. Only when the program increases or decreases, the front-end is uniformly adjusted and the data in the EPG is updated.
[0109] Suppose the port binding instance of the platform broadcasting 200 programs is:
[0110] CCTV-1:239.1.1.1:5000~XXTV-X:2391.1.200:5000,
[0111] Among them, 239.1.1.1:5000~2391.1.200:5000 is the multicast address and the destination port number of 200 programs, and 6000~6199 is statically bound in the system as the source port number of the unicast stream. Assuming that the IP address of the protocol converter is 192.168.10.100 and the IP address of the user equipment is 192.168.1.101, the specific implementation process is as follows:
[0112] S1: User initiates a request:
[0113] The user clicks “CCTV-1” through the EPG, and the browser accesses the fixed URL http: / / 192.168.10.100:6000. After the user request interface module 1008 receives the user request through the user request interface 0510R, it is forwarded to the user request, permission management and port mapping management module 1009.
[0114] S2: HTTP redirection:
[0115] After the user request permission management and port mapping management module verifies the permission, it returns the unicast stream address (which is still 192.168.10.100:6000 in fact).
[0116] S3: Player connection:
[0117] The user equipment (for example: VLC) initiates a UDP connection request to the 6000 port of the buffer.
[0118] S4: Filtering and caching of data frames:
[0119] User request, permission management and port mapping management module 1009, the user request program port mapping relationship through the main control module 1010 is forwarded to the filter forwarding module 1004 and protocol conversion encapsulation forwarding module 1006, filter forwarding module 1004 gets 192.168.10.100:6000 corresponding 239.1.1.1:5000 filter condition, from the input buffer filter out 239.1.1.1:5000 data frame, unload its header and tail IP packet forwarding to the main cache management module 1005 for caching.
[0120] The main cache management module 1005 according to the predetermined time window partition slice cache recent (for example: recent 5 seconds of data) data ring buffer (Ring Buffer), its function is to temporarily store multicast stream data, to deal with the real-time nature of user request and network jitter. The cache rule of main cache management module 1005 is: cache recent data packet (for example: recent 5 seconds of data) according to time window, timeout data is automatically discarded, to guarantee real-time performance; pre allocate fixed size cache block, reduce the dynamic memory allocation overhead; for each multicast stream allocation independent ring buffer (for example: 239.1.1.1:5000 → cache area 1), thus avoiding data mixed, further, using efficient data structure (for example: circular queue) to store data packet, cache format is according to the normal UDP socket: IP header + UDP header + TS load (no Ethernet header and FCS).
[0121] S5: multicast to unicast:
[0122] Protocol conversion encapsulation forwarding module 1006 after receiving the unicast encapsulation parameters given by the main control, read 239.1.1.1:5000 IP packet from the main cache management module 1005, unload its IP header and UDP header, encapsulation into unicast IP packet: source port: static binding port (for example: 6000), source IP: protocol converter IP (192.168.10.100). Target IP: user equipment IP (192.168.1.101), target port: user equipment random port (for example: 50000). After encapsulation, forward to the output buffer (Rx Buffer) of unicast output network interface module 1007.
[0123] S6: encapsulation and forwarding of unicast data frame:
[0124] The MAC layer of the unicast data stream output network interface module 1007 reads the output buffer message, loads the frame header and frame tail, and encodes through the physical layer PCS sublayer 64B / 668, and then serializes through the PMA sublayer, and then accesses the routing function unit 0512 through the unicast stream output interface 0510T, and is forwarded to the LAN interface module 0518 through the routing module 0516 of the routing function unit 0512, and is forwarded to the user destination device through the LAN interface.
[0125] S7: Flow replication and sending:
[0126] If multiple users simultaneously request the same port (for example: 6000), an independent unicast stream is copied for each user, and the data is sent in parallel through multi-threading or the multi-queue of the unicast data stream output network interface module 1007.
[0127] S8: Multi-terminal request:
[0128] The filtering and forwarding module 1004 and the protocol conversion and encapsulation forwarding module 1006 are both provided with multiple sets of filters and multi-core multi-threaded encapsulation functions, thereby meeting the broadcast service demand of multiple terminals of the access user.
[0129] S9: Session maintenance and termination:
[0130] The user player regularly sends a heartbeat packet (for example: RTCP message), and the user request, permission management and port mapping management module 1009 updates the session active time. If the user stops playing and there is no heartbeat, the data sending of the terminal is stopped.
[0131] As shown in Figure 11 The routing function unit 0512 can include: a unicast service interface 0513, a data service interface 0514, a broadcast network interface module 1101, a data network interface module 1102, a master module 1103, a clock module 1104, a storage module 1105, a security module 1106, a wireless module 1107, a user network interface module 1108, a power module 1109, a switching matrix 1110, a management module 1111, a user side wireless interface 1112, and a 4*1G (SERDES) interface 1113. Among them:
[0132] The broadcast network interface module 1101 and the data network interface module 1102 are connected with the unidirectional service optical-electric conversion module 0506 and the bidirectional service optical-electric conversion transceiver module 0509 through the unicast service interface 0513 and the data service interface 0514 respectively, and simultaneously access the user CPN network through the user side wireless interface 1112 and the 4*1G (SERDES) interface 1113.
[0133] The broadcast network interface module 1101 and the data network interface module 1102 can be composed of a physical layer PMA sublayer, a PCS sublayer, an MII interface, a MAC control layer, and input / output buffers. The PMA sublayer receives the serial data stream from the PMD sublayer, extracts the clock signal, recovers the data stream, and performs serial-to-parallel conversion before feeding the resulting parallel symbol stream to the PCS sublayer. The PCS sublayer performs descrambling, 64b / 66b decoding, and removes block synchronization headers to obtain a complete data frame. This complete data frame is then transmitted to the MAC control layer via the MII interface. The MAC control layer writes the received data frame to the input buffer for reading and forwarding.
[0134] The main control module 1103, as the core of the router, is used to complete packet processing, routing protocol calculation, system management and security encryption. When implemented, it can run an embedded operating system (such as Linux or RTOS) and support functions such as NAT (Network Address Translation), DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), and firewall to realize packet routing and forwarding and manage the collaborative work of other hardware modules.
[0135] The storage module 1105 can consist of RAM (DDR3 / DDR4 SDRAM) and ROM (SPI NOR Flash or eMMC storage). The RAM is used to temporarily store the routing table, connection status table, and data packet buffer, while the ROM is used to store the firmware program, system configuration, and log files.
[0136] The wireless module 1107 can consist of a wireless chipset, RF front-end, power amplifier (PA), low noise amplifier (LNA), filter, and antenna. It is used to implement the 802.11 a / b / g / n / ac / ax protocol, modulate and demodulate wireless signals, manage MIMO multi-antenna technology, provide SSID broadcasting, and manage client access.
[0137] User network interface module 1108 is used to provide physical layer and data link layer functions for user local area network (LAN) interfaces.
[0138] The switching matrix 1110 is used to coordinate the main control unit and the MAC control layer to transmit data at high speed between multiple interfaces inside the router, and supports parallel data exchange.
[0139] In one embodiment, such as Figure 12 The image shows a schematic diagram of a practical application scenario for a multi-service multiplexing multi-wavelength fiber optic router. Figure 12The multi-service multiplexing multi-wavelength optical fiber router 1201 in the single-fiber three-wave scenario is composed of an access network local end IP broadcast stream transmitter 0201, an Ethernet technology star structure network local end device 0301, a local end to user ODN, and a user end multi-service multiplexing multi-wavelength optical-electric conversion transceiver. The multi-service multiplexing multi-wavelength optical fiber router 1202 in the double-fiber three-wave scenario is composed of a third independent optical fiber 0206 and a second independent optical fiber 0302 for carrying broadcast service 1550 nm wavelength optical signals and data service uplink / downlink 1490 nm / 1310 nm wavelength optical signals, respectively.
[0140] The multi-service multiplexing multi-wavelength optical fiber router proposed in the above example realizes user signaling and service routing and forwarding for communication services and broadband Internet services, and also converts multicast services or broadcast services into unicast streams through a protocol conversion unit, and then accesses various application terminals of users through LAN interfaces or Wi-Fi interfaces together with communication services, broadband services, and data services. The multi-service multiplexing multi-wavelength optical fiber router is different from existing general home routers. The multi-service multiplexing multi-wavelength optical fiber router proposed in the embodiment not only meets the functions of existing general home routers, but also realizes the function of converting broadcast or multicast to unicast for wired television IP broadcast streams or multicast streams, thereby realizing the access of broadcast services based on an Ethernet technology star structure access network. The unicast stream after protocol conversion is accessed to the home router together with communication services and broadband Internet, can be compatible with the access of various terminals in the home, and solves the problem of insufficient compatibility of broadcast protocols in the home CPN network. At the same time, each user enjoys physical bandwidth including but not limited to 1G / 10G data service interface and 10G / 25G broadcast service bandwidth, and can obtain higher access bandwidth at low access cost. Through the protocol conversion function of the multi-service multiplexing multi-wavelength optical fiber router, the broadcast or multicast stream is converted into a unicast stream, which is accessed to the same local area network in the home together with communication services and broadband services. In this way, there are no two local area networks of wired television networks and broadband networks in the user's home, which meets the multi-service access while ensuring the high code rate access of wired television network high-definition, ultra-high-definition 4K / 8K program broadcast level standards.
