Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If manual fiber core occupation tracking is used in the resource management system, then the initial resource accuracy rate is high, but errors accumulate over time due to frequent installation and removal of services
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements automatic feedback mechanisms where the resource management system continuously monitors and updates fiber core occupation status. When services are installed or removed, the system automatically receives notifications and updates the database, ensuring real-time accuracy without manual intervention and preventing error accumulation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service automation where the resource management platform automatically tracks and updates fiber core status based on service installation and removal events. This eliminates the need for manual data entry and reduces human error, maintaining high accuracy rates over time.
2Measurement precision
If the intelligent ODN technology is deployed to improve data accuracy, then the accuracy of platform data improves, but the device complexity and investment cost increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies a universal resource management approach that can be implemented across existing optical networks without requiring transformation of passive optical cross-connection points. The system uses standardized interfaces and protocols to track fiber core status, making it applicable to diverse network configurations while avoiding the complexity of intelligent ODN deployment.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary resource management platform that sits between the physical optical network and the service management systems. This platform automatically collects and correlates information from various sources to track fiber core occupation status, providing accurate data without requiring modifications to the underlying optical infrastructure.
3Productivity
If fiber core occupation status is not updated in real-time, then the system operation is simple, but the efficiency of communication line opening and resource allocation decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by pre-configuring the resource management system with fiber core information and establishing automatic tracking mechanisms before services are deployed. This allows the system to proactively monitor and update resource status, enabling faster service installation and avoiding conflicts before they occur.
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously receives feedback from service installation and removal events, automatically updating the fiber core occupation status in real-time. This feedback loop ensures that the resource management database remains synchronized with the actual network state, improving both productivity and automation levels.

AI summary
The present disclosure provides an information sampling analysis method, an optical splitter, a fiber splice tray, local side sampling equipment. The local side sampling equipment obtains an optical or electrical signal of local side equipment, and establishes a connection relationship between a terminal device and the local side equipment based on data reported by the terminal device. In this way, the service communication line connection relationship across the network can be obtained. According to the present disclosure, active equipment needs to be introduced to the local side only, the passive optical cross-connection network does not need to be transformed, thus the engineering quantity of the network deployment is small and the investment is low. Whether a service optical or electrical signal exists in a line is determined based on a line occupation identifier, to update in real time communication line information stored in the information sampling analysis platform.
