41 results about "Wavelength switched optical network" patented technology

Wavelength switched optical network (WSON) is a type of telecommunications network. A WSON consist of two planes: the data and the control planes. The data plane comprises wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) fiber links connecting optical cross-connect (OXCs) through a comb of several tens of wavelength channels, with typical data rates of 10 or 40 Gbit/s. Optical end-to-end connections (i.e., lightpaths) are established in the optical domain and switched by OXCs at the wavelength granularity.

Routing and Bandwidth Assignment for Flexible Grid Wavelength Switched Optical Networks

Routing and bandwidth assignment of new paths of different bandwidths, occupying different numbers of adjacent frequency slots in a wavelength switched optical network, involves selecting a route, and assigning a set of adjacent frequency slots. The assignment can place wider bandwidth ones of the new paths at an opposite end of a spectrum of the available frequency slots, to an end where narrower bandwidth ones are placed. A size of sets of available adjacent slots remaining after the assignment is likely to be increased, compared to a conventional first fit assignment. A wider subsequent new path can sometimes be accommodated along all or some of the route and thus the blocking probability can be lowered. The selecting of which of the possible routes to use can be made dependent on which has more sets of available adjacent frequency slots, or which has a wider gap between occupied slots.

WSON restoration

Dynamic restoration involves routing and bandwidth assignment of an unplanned restoration path in a wavelength switched optical network (20), having regeneration nodes (60), nodes each having a ROADM (62) having drop paths and add paths. An electrical switch (68) provides configurable regeneration capacity by coupling selected drop paths to selected add paths. Some of the configurable regeneration capacity is kept for unplanned restoration paths. A PCE determines (120) routing and bandwidth assignments for an unplanned restoration path for the traffic flow to avoid a fault, and sends (130) configuration messages to the nodes to set up the unplanned restoration path dynamically and to configure the electrical switch to provide regeneration on the path. Keeping some reconfigurable regeneration capacity enables much longer unplanned paths to be found to avoid faults, and enables wavelength conversion if needed. Thus the reliability of finding at least one path avoiding the fault can be increased.
