Abstract:
PURPOSE: A method and apparatus for generating a resize control overhead(RCOH) in an optical transport network are provided to eliminate a need to define a separate signal for an resizing protocol pointer(RP) signal or a tributary slot connectivity check(TSCC) signal by using the unused area of OPUflex RCOH. CONSTITUTION: A bandwidth resize(BWR) generating unit inserts an RP signal and a TSCC signal into a RCOH. A BWR relay generating unit refers to an RP signal and a TSCC signal which is included in a RCOH and transmitted through the BWR generating unit. The BWR relay generating unit inserts the RP signal and the TSCC signal into a higher level overhead. The RP signal or the TSCC signal is exchanged using a CI(characteristic information) signal between the BWR generating unit and the BWR relay generating unit.
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for guaranteeing a differentiated bandwidth for each service in an ethernet frame transmission system are provided to guarantee a differentiated bandwidth for each service by setting a different pause time according to a priority level assigned to each service when a pause frame is generated for the reason of congestion or a failure. A frame transmitting/receiving unit(10) transmits/receives ethernet frames through multiple ports. A MAC(Media Access Control) processing unit(20) recognizes information on an available current ethernet network according to congestion or a system failure by monitoring the multiple ports, and interprets a received ethernet frame. An input ethernet frame buffer(30) temporarily stores the received ethernet frame. A signal processing unit(60) sets a different pause time according to each priority level assigned to each service based on memory state information of the input ethernet frame buffer(30) and the availability information, adds a pause frame including the set pause time in a MAC control frame, and transmits it to adjacent nodes. A network processor unit(50) classifies ethernet frames inputted from the input ethernet frame buffer(30) by service, assigns a priority level, and outputs them. An output ethernet frame buffer(40) temporarily stores the outputted ethernet frames.

PURPOSE: An optical add-drop multiplexer for a Wave Division Multiple optical telecommunications system is provided to vary optical add-drop channels at random, improve the flexibility. CONSTITUTION: In an optical add-drop multiplexer, a first optical coupler(220) divides wave division multiple(WDM) optical signals and sends the divided signals to a first output port(222) and a second output port(223). A fiber bragg grating(241) reflects partial waves of the divided optical signals from the first output port(222) of the first optical coupler(220) and sends the waves to a third output port(224) of the first optical coupler(220). An optical wave combiner produces other optical channels and combines the newly produced channels. A second optical coupler(230) couples the optical signal from the fiber bragg grating(241) and the combined optical channels from the optical wave combiner. A first optical wave selector/divider selects parts of the optical signal from the second output port(223) of the first optical coupler(220) and produces the selected waves as the output. A second optical wave selector/divider selects parts of the optical signal from the third output port(224) of the first optical coupler(220) and produces the selected waves as the output.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A delay measuring device and a method thereof are provided to correct delay errors generated according to frame transmission and reception in a second location when both-ways delay time is measured between a first and a second location. CONSTITUTION: An overhead insertion unit(42) inserts a time stamp into the overhead of a multi-frame transmitted from a first location to a second location. An overhead extraction unit(44) extracts the time stamp from the overhead of the multi-frame received from the second location. The time stamp includes delay error information from the second location. A delay measuring unit(40) measures both-ways delay time between the first location and the second location by using the inserted time stamp and the extracted time stamp. The delay measuring unit corrects the measured both-way delay time by using the extracted delay error information.
