Description

Calibration method of uplink wavelength channel of passive optical network system and optical network unit

Technical Field

The present invention relates to the field of communications, and in particular, to a method for calibrating an uplink wavelength channel of a Passive Optical Network (PON) system and an optical network unit.

Background

With the development of network technology, a large amount of services such as voice, data, video and the like can be transmitted by using a network, so that the requirement for bandwidth is continuously increased, and a PON is generated under the requirement. As shown in fig. 1, a topology structure of a PON system generally includes an Optical Line Terminal (OLT) on an office side, an Optical Network Unit (ONU) on a user side, and an Optical Distribution Network (ODN), and generally adopts a point-to-multipoint Network structure. The ODN is composed of a single-mode optical fiber, and passive optical devices such as an optical splitter and an optical connector, and provides an optical transmission medium for physical connection between the OLT and the ONU. In order to further increase the bandwidth of the network, a PON system that transmits multiple wavelengths in a trunk fiber and provides access by using a Time Division technique on each wavelength is called a Time Wavelength Division Multiplexing (TWDM) PON system.

As shown in fig. 2, a topology structure of the TWDM PON system is that a plurality of TWDM Channel terminals (CTs for short) are provided in the TWDM PON OLT, each TWDM CT processes a pair of associated upper and lower wavelength channels (forming a TWDM Channel), and provides access and maintenance services for all ONUs operating in the pair of wavelength channels. The ONU transmits data in the pair of wavelength channels by time division multiplexing. The uplink and downlink wavelength channels processed by different TWDM CTs are different. Each ONU transmits upstream data in a specific upstream time slot according to the instruction of the OLT CT.

For reasons of load balancing, energy saving, and reduction of the inventory types of ONUs, the ONUs in the TWDM PON system are colorless, that is, all the ONUs have the same transmitter and receiver in physical structure, and the transmission wavelength and the reception wavelength of the ONUs are set to be tunable. The ONU can tune the operating wavelength of the device to operate in the upstream and downstream wavelength channels of any OLTCT. Because the wavelength value of the OLT CT in different networks is not fixed, the ONU devices are unified, the cost of the ONU is reduced, and the ONU does not set a fixed operating wavelength when leaving the factory, that is, does not perform wavelength calibration. In order to ensure that the ONU can accurately tune to the uplink wavelength and the downlink wavelength in the TWDM channel corresponding to each CT of the OLT to work when the ONU works in an actual network, when the ONU is connected to the PON system, the ONU needs to complete the wavelength calibration work with the assistance of the OLT CT. This process is called online calibration. There is an on-line calibration procedure for both the downstream and upstream wavelengths.

In the on-line calibration process of the upstream wavelength of the ONU, the ONU mainly sends corresponding detection signals at each wavelength position in a tunable range of the ONU by adjusting a transmitter, and tries to acquire the feedback of the OLT CT. Therefore, whether the current wavelength position of the emission detection signal is the uplink wavelength channel of one OLT CT is determined. If the feedback of the OLT CT is obtained, the feedback can be recorded to finish the uplink wavelength calibration of the OLT CT. If the uplink wavelength calibration of all the OLT CTs is to be completed, the above process needs to be repeated several times until the completion. In the development process of the technology, two technologies are developed aiming at different transmission methods of the ONU detection signals.

The first method utilizes a static window in O3 state in the ONU registration activation state machine in the XGPON where a properly functioning ONU will not send upstream data for the period of the static window. Therefore, the detection signal can be sent on the premise of not interfering the conventional normal ONU, and the detection signal is prevented from being submerged in the data transmission signal. Because the ONU cannot determine the upstream wavelength of which OLT CT it belongs to when transmitting the probe signal, in order to avoid the influence on data transmission of all OLT CTs, all CTs of the OLT need to open completely synchronized static windows with the same length, so that the interference of transmitting upstream data on any upstream channel to other upstream data completing wavelength calibration of the ONU during ONU upstream wavelength calibration can be avoided. The method has no extra requirements on the device capability of the ONU, but puts higher requirements on different CTs of the OLT: firstly, when all TWDM synchronization open quiet windows, the whole TWDM PON system cannot send uplink service data, which may affect the transmission efficiency of uplink data, and all TWDM synchronization open quiet windows also require all TWDM channels to implement strict time synchronization, which increases the complexity of the system and increases the probability of abnormal ONUs. Another disadvantage is that it is difficult to communicate bandwidth allocation policies between different operators if different OLT CTs are subordinate to different operators.

The second method is to modulate the low frequency part of the detection signal arranged in the same wavelength point to transmit the low speed detection signal, thereby avoiding the intermediate frequency and high frequency parts of the data transmission, and indirectly avoiding the disadvantage of using a static window. However, the second method also brings about a great disadvantage, mainly in the PON network, in order to make the probing signal not cause crosstalk to the data signal, the sending power of the probing signal is pressed to be very low, thereby greatly improving the capability of the OLT receiver, and it is difficult to realize and implement industrial production in technology. And if the ONU uses a low frequency to transmit data, additional low frequency filtering and modulation devices are required, which also increases the cost.

In summary, both methods introduce new problems that are difficult to solve or overcome while solving the problem of on-line calibration of the upstream wavelength. Whether a new or improved method can be proposed based on the above two methods, which is an ongoing research subject in the industry, while solving the problem of on-line calibration of the upstream wavelength and reducing the cost or complexity of new introduction.

Implementation mode one

Different TWDM channels correspond to different downlink wavelength channels and different uplink wavelength channels.
