Description

  The present invention relates to a subscriber line terminating apparatus, a receiving station apparatus, and an alarm transmitting method for transmitting an alarm such as a failure from a line terminating unit to a system side in a system that provides an optical communication service, for example.

  As one of network systems, a PON (Passive Optical Network) system that economically provides optical communication services to large-scale subscribers is known. The PON system is configured by installing a accommodation station device on the telecommunications carrier side and a subscriber line termination device on the user's home side, and managing communication of a plurality of subscriber line termination devices with the accommodation station device. Maintenance monitoring of the subscriber line termination device and the accommodation station device is realized in cooperation with an operation management server called an OSS (Operation Support System). In the following description, the accommodation station apparatus may be referred to as OLT (Optical Line Terminal), and the subscriber line termination apparatus may be referred to as ONU (Optical Network Unit).

  The ONU has practically used a means for notifying the OLT of an alarm when an abnormality due to a device failure or the like occurs mainly from the viewpoint of maintenance during operation. On the other hand, when the optical fiber communication path is disconnected, it is impossible to notify the ONT from the ONU in advance.

  Therefore, for example, Patent Document 1 discloses a method of notifying the system side of an abnormality even when a communication path of an optical fiber fails.

FIG.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[System configuration]
This embodiment will be described by taking a PON system as an example of the system 1 as an example. PON is an abbreviation for “Passive Optical Network” which is one of access network forms. FIG. 1 shows a functional configuration example of the system 1.

  The system 1 includes an OSS 7, an OLT 6, a splitter 5, an ONU 2, and a network 4. The OSS 7 is the above-described operation management server that is connected to the OLT 6 and performs maintenance monitoring of the OLT 6 and the ONU 2. (# Number) shown in each configuration is a number for identifying the same configuration. In this example, one OLT 6 is connected to the OSS 7, but a plurality of OLTs # 1 and # 2 may be connected.

  The OLT 6 includes a media converter that mutually converts an optical signal and an electrical signal. This media converter is generally called a subscriber line termination board (OSU). Here, two examples of OSUs 61 and 62 are shown. The OSU 61 propagates the optical signal to the splitter 5 through a single optical fiber. In the following description, the OLT 6 including the subscriber line terminal board (OSU) is referred to unless otherwise required. Further, for the purpose of easy understanding, the subscriber line terminal board is hereinafter referred to as IF (interface).

  The splitter 5 is a low-cost passive element that does not perform optical-electrical conversion, and branches the optical signal propagated from the IF 61 through one optical fiber into a plurality (up to 32 branches). The branched optical signal propagates to the plurality of ONUs 2 through the optical fiber 3.

In this example, optical fibers 3 ₁ , 3 ₂ , 3 ₃ are connected to splitter 5 and ONU # 1, ONU # 2, ONU # 3, respectively. Further, ONU # 4 directly in the optical fiber _{3 4,} is connected to the IF62. Thus, the splitter 5 may be omitted. The section of the optical fiber connecting the OLT 6 and the ONU 2 is the PON section.

  As is clear from the fact that the same reference numeral 2 is assigned to ONU # 1 to ONU # 4, each of ONU # 1 to ONU # 4 is the same. In the following description, when it is desired to clarify the position of the ONU 2 in the system 1, the ONU is represented by a # number (number: natural number). When it is not necessary, it is expressed as ONU2. The same applies to other OLTs, IFs, OLTs, and OSSs.

  Note that ONU # n (not shown) may be connected to another OLT, that is, another OLT # 2 (not shown). Another OLT # 2 may be further connected to another OSS # 2 (not shown). Each of the ONUs 2 can communicate bidirectionally via the network 4.

  Next, the configuration of the ONU 2 and the function of each unit will be described. Note that the functional configuration of the ONU 2 shows only the portions necessary for the description of the present embodiment, and the description of other general functional configurations is omitted.

[Subscriber line termination equipment]
FIG. 2 shows a functional configuration example of the ONU 2. The ONU 2 includes an OSU-IF unit 30, a control unit 20, a UNI-IF unit 40, and a storage unit 50. The ONU 2 is configured by, for example, a ROM, a RAM, an LSI, and the like, and is realized by reading a predetermined program and executing the program by the LSI. The same applies to the accommodation station apparatus (OLT) described later.

  The OSU-IF unit 30 is an interface that connects the OLT 6 and the ONU 2 by, for example, a high-speed optical access method (IEEE802.3ah). The UNI-IF unit 40 is an interface that connects the ONU # 1 to a plurality of other ONUs 2 (ONU # 1 to ONU # n) and, for example, a personal computer at the user's home where the ONU2 is installed. is there. The UNI-IF unit 40 may be configured with one or a plurality of wired ports, or may have a wireless function.

  The control unit 20 includes a failure detection unit 21, an alarm transmission unit 22, a determination request transmission unit 23, a determination unit 24, a classification unit 25, an alarm transmission destination selection unit 26, an alive detection unit 27, and a determination result reception unit 28. .

First, the failure detection unit 21 and the alarm transmission unit 22 will be described. Failure detecting unit 21 detects its own (e.g., ONU # 1) connected to the optical fiber 3 ₁ failure and its failure. Failure of the optical fiber 3 ₁ can be judged by whether PON link with OLT6 is disconnected. In addition, its own failure can be detected by a so-called self-diagnosis function.

  When a failure of the optical fiber 3 is detected, the alarm transmission unit 22 sends a communication line failure alarm indicating the failure of the optical fiber 3 via the network 4, another ONU 2, and the OLT 6 to which the other ONU 2 is connected. Send to OSS7. For example, assume that there are only two units, ONU # 1 and ONU # n, and ONU # n is connected to another OLT 6. In this case, the communication line failure information is transmitted to the OSS 7 via the ONU # 1 to the ONU # n and another OLT 6 (other OLT not shown in FIG. 1) to which the ONU # n is connected.

In addition, when an own failure is detected, an apparatus failure alarm indicating the own failure is transmitted to the OSS 7 via the OLT 6 connected via the own optical fiber 3. For example, if the ONU # 2 detects a failure of its own, device fault alarm is transmitted to OSS7 via its optical fiber _{3 2} OLT6.

  As described above, the ONU 2 of the present embodiment can transmit an alarm to the system side even when the optical fiber 3 fails. Further, the system can identify whether an abnormality has occurred in the ONU 2 or an abnormality has occurred in the route of the PON section.

  The operation of the ONU 2 will be described in more detail with reference to the operation sequence diagram of the OLT 6 and the ONU 2 shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. The description will be made on the assumption that ONU # 2 to ONU # n are already connected to OLT6 and ONU # 1 is connected to OLT6.

  When ONU # 1 is connected to OLT 6 by an optical fiber, OLT 6 automatically discovers ONU # 1 and registers ONU # 1 in OLT 6 (step S1). The ONU # 1 that has established a communication link with the OLT 6 requests the OLT 6 for a station apparatus identifier representing the OLT 6 in order to determine a transfer destination of an alarm when the optical fiber 3 fails (step S2).

  As a response, the OLT 6 transmits the server identifier of the OSS 7, the station device identifier of the OLT 6, and the IF identifier of the IF 61 to the ONU # 1 (Step S3). As an example of the identifier, an IP address of OSS 7 as a server identifier, an OLT-ID that can specify the OLT 6 as a station device identifier, and a MAC address of IF 61 as an IF identifier may be used. The ONU # 1 that has received the station device identifier and the like stores the received information in the storage unit 50.

  Next, ONU # 1 transmits a confirmation signal for confirming whether alarm transfer is possible to ONU # 2 (step S4). The confirmation signal is transmitted to all of the ONUs 2 connected to the network 4. However, for the purpose of simplifying the description, the confirmation signal will be described below in relation to the ONU # 1 and the ONU # 2.

  The ONU # 2 that is not limited by the service or the like and has no abnormality in the PON section and can handle the transfer (step S5) responds with an ACK signal (step S6).

  The ONU # 1 that has received the ACK response (YES in step S7) transmits a determination request to the ONU # 2 (step S8). The determination request includes a station apparatus identification representing the OLT 6 connected to itself, and is a request that causes ONU # 2 to determine whether ONU # 2 can be an ONU # 1 alarm transfer destination.

  Specifically, the determination request transmission unit 23 of ONU # 1 transmits a determination request including a station apparatus identifier representing the accommodation station apparatus connected to itself to ONU # 2.

  The determination unit 24 of the ONU # 2 that has received the determination request determines whether or not the station apparatus identifier in the determination request received from the ONU # 1 is the same as the station apparatus identifier that represents the OLT 6 connected to itself ( In step S9), a device determination result indicating whether the station device identifiers are the same is returned (step S10). The determination unit 24 will be described in detail later.

  The determination result receiving unit 28 receives a device determination result indicating whether or not the station device identifier in the determination request is the same as the station device identifier representing the OLT 6 connected to the ONU # 2, from the ONU # 2. In FIG. 3, the reception step is omitted.

  The ONU # 1 classification unit 25 that has received the device determination result transmits a device determination result that indicates that the station device identifiers are the same, and the device determination result that indicates that the station device identifiers are not the same. Are classified into the set of ONUs 2 that have transmitted (step S11). When the respective ONUs 2 are classified in the example shown in FIG. 1, ONUs # 2, # 3, and # 4 are connected to the same OLT 6, and thus are classified into a pair indicating that the station apparatus identifiers are the same. For example, OLT # n connected to the other OLT 6 is classified into a set of ONUs 2 that have transmitted device determination results indicating that the station device identifiers are not the same.

  After the classification, the ONU # 1 alarm transmission destination selection unit 26 selects the communication line failure alarm transmission destination by giving priority to the set of ONUs 2 that have transmitted the device determination results indicating that the station device identifiers are the same ( Step S12). In the example of FIG. 1, a transmission destination is selected from a set in which ONUs # 2, # 3, # 4,.

  After selecting the transmission destination of the communication line failure alarm, ONU # 1 performs a routine such as authentication starting from the maintenance information exchange with OLT 6 (step S13). Thereafter, the ONU # 1 starts a communication operation with the OLT 6.

  After the communication operation is started, ONU # 1 changes the transmission destination when it cannot communicate with the transmission destination of the communication line failure alarm. As an example, the life and death detection unit 27 of the ONU # 1 performs life and death detection that detects the stop of the operation of the ONU # 2 and notifies the alarm transmission destination selection unit 26 (step S14). The alarm transmission destination selection unit 26 notified that the operation stop of the ONU # 2 is detected removes the notified ONU # 2 from the group classified by the classification unit 25, and the communication line failure alarm is detected from the remaining groups. Select the destination. For example, the ONU # 2 is deleted from the classified ONUs # 2, # 3, and # 4, and, for example, the ONU # 3 is selected as a communication line failure alarm transmission destination.

  Further, the failure detector 21 detects a failure of the optical fiber 3 and itself (step S15). This life and death detection (step S14) and failure detection (step S16) are repeated until a failure is detected (No in step S16).

  Therefore, the life and death of the other ONUs 2, ONU # 2 to ONU # n, are constantly monitored, and the ONU 2 that is detected to have stopped operating is deleted from the transmission destination of the communication line failure alarm. As a result, even when the ONU 2 selected as the transmission destination of the communication line failure information has failed once, a communication line failure alarm can be transmitted to the system side.

Failure detecting unit 21 of the ONU # 1 is, when detecting a failure of the optical fiber _{3 1} (YES in step S17), the other communication line failure information is for example the ONU # 2 and ONU2 running is transmitted e.g. . ONU # 1 failure detection section 21, when detecting a failure of its own, the device fault alarm indicating a failure of its own, through the OLT6 connected via the optical fiber 3 ₁ transmits the OSS7 (step S17 NO).

  The determination unit 24 described above has described an example in which it is determined whether or not the station device identifier in the received determination request is the same as the station device identifier representing the OLT 6 connected to itself. Note that the determination unit 24 may determine the IF identifier representing the IFs 61 and 62 and the server identifier representing the OSS 7 in addition to the station device identifier representing the OLT 6.

(Decision part)
FIG. 4 shows an operation flow of the determination unit 24 configured to determine the IF identifier and the server identifier, and the operation will be described in more detail. Next, the relationship between ONU # 1 and ONU # 2 will be described.

When determining the the IF identifier and server identifier, determination request transmitting unit 23 of the ONU # 1 is a station that represents the IF identifier set to IF61 optical fiber 3 ₁ itself is connected, the OLT6 connected to itself A determination request including the device identifier and the server identifier of the OSS 7 to which the device identifier is connected via the OLT 6 is transmitted to the ONU # 2.

  The determination unit 24 of ONU # 2 receives the determination request (step S20). Each identifier included in the received determination request is stored in the storage unit 50.

  The determination unit 24 determines whether or not the station apparatus identifier in the received determination request is the same as the station apparatus identifier representing the OLT 6 connected to itself (step S21). If the station device identifiers are the same (YES in step S21), the determination unit 24 further determines whether the IF identifier in the received determination request is the same as the IF identifier of the IF 61 to which the station device identifier is connected. (Step S22).

  If the IF identifiers are the same (YES in step S22), an IF identifier determination result indicating that the IF identifiers are the same is returned to ONU # 1 (step S22). If the IF identifiers are not the same (NO in step S22), the determination unit 24 returns a device determination result indicating that the IF identifiers are different and the station device identifiers are the same (step S25).

  If the station device identifiers are different (NO in step S21), the determination unit 24 determines whether the server identifier in the received determination request is the same as the server identifier of the OSS 7 to which the station identifier is connected (step S23). ). If the server identifiers are the same (YES in step S23), the same server determination result indicating that the server identifiers are the same is returned to ONU # 1 (step S26).

  If the server identifiers are not the same, a different server determination result indicating that the server identifiers do not match is returned to the ONU # 1 (step S27).

[Judgment result receiver]
When the determination request includes the IF identifier, the determination result receiving unit 28 includes the IF identifier set in the interface of the accommodating station apparatus 6 to which the determination result receiving unit 28 is connected and the other subscriber line termination. An IF identifier determination result indicating whether or not the IF identifier representing the interface to which the device 2 is connected is the same is received from the determined subscriber line termination device 2. In the above example, it is received from ONU # 2.

  When the determination request includes a server identifier, the determination result receiving unit 28 includes the server identifier representing the operation management server 7 to which the determination request itself is connected via the accommodating station device 6 and the other subscription. The same server determination result or the different server determination result indicating whether or not the line termination device 2 is the same as the server identifier representing the operation management server 7 connected via the accommodating station device 6 is received.

(Classification part)
The classification unit 25 receives an IF identifier determination result, a device determination result, an identical server determination result, and a different server determination result, and sets a plurality of transmission source ONUs 2 as a set with the same IF identifier and a set with the same station device identifier. Each group is classified into a group having the same identifier and a group having a different server identifier.

  The ONU # 1, ONU # 2, and ONU # 3 shown in FIG. 1 are classified into the same set of IF identifiers. Further, ONU # 4 is classified into a group having the same station device identifier. Further, for example, ONU # 5 connected to the OSS 7 via another OLT # 2 not shown in FIG. 1 is classified into a group having the same server identifier. Further, for example, ONU # 6 connected to another OSS # 2 via another OLT # 3 not shown in FIG. 1 is classified into a group having a different server identifier.

[Alarm destination selection part]
The alarm transmission destination selection unit 26 selects a transmission destination of a communication line failure alarm with the highest priority given to a set having the same IF identifier. Next, a transmission destination of a communication line failure alarm is selected with priority given to a set having the same station apparatus identifier. When the ONU 2 is not classified into a group having the same IF identifier and a group having the same station apparatus identifier, the transmission destination of the communication line failure alarm is selected from the group having the same server identifier.

  In this way, the alarm transmission destination selection unit 26 sets the priority order for selecting the transmission destination of the communication line failure alarm in the order that the IF identifier is the same in the first place, the group in which the station apparatus identifier is the same in the second place, and the third place. The server identifier is the same set. In the present embodiment, a group having a different server identifier is not selected as a communication line failure alarm transmission destination. Further, when none of the group having the same IF identifier, the group having the same station apparatus identifier, and the same server identifier exists, the transmission destination of the communication line failure alarm need not be selected.

[Alarm transmitter]
The alarm transmission unit 22 transmits a communication line failure alarm to the transmission destination selected by the alarm transmission destination selection unit 26 (FIG. 3, YES in step S17).

  FIG. 5 shows the priority order of the transmission destinations for transmitting a communication line failure alarm when the communication line connected to ONU # 1 fails. System 1 is the same as described above, but shows OLT # 2 and ONU # 5.

ONU # 1, when detecting the failure of the optical fiber 3 ₁ connected to itself, and transmits a communication line failure alarm ONU # 2 # 1 priority. The communication line failure alarm in this case propagates in the order of ONU # 2, OLT # 1 (IF # 1), and OSS # 1, and is transmitted to the system side (OSS # 1).

  If ONU # 2 and ONU # 3 are not connected via network 4, ONU # 1 transmits a communication line failure alarm to ONU # 4, which is second in priority order. In this case, the communication line failure alarm propagates in the order of ONU # 4 → OLT # 1 (IF # 2) → OSS # 1.

  If ONU # 4 is also not connected via network 4, ONU # 1 transmits a communication line failure alarm to ONU # 5, which is third in priority order. In this case, the communication line failure alarm propagates in the order of ONU # 5 → OLT # 2 → OSS # 1.

  Since another server composed of OSS # 2, OLT # 3, and ONU # n shown outside the system 1 has a different server identifier, the communication line failure alarm is not transmitted to the ONU # n outside the system 1.

[Containment station equipment]
FIG. 6 shows a functional configuration example of the accommodation station device (OLT) 6. The OLT 6 includes an OSS-IF unit 36, a station apparatus control unit 63, and an IF 61. The OSS-IF unit 36 is an interface for connecting the OLT 6 and the OSS 7.

  The station apparatus control unit 63 includes a terminal station information transmission unit 64. The terminal station information transmission unit 64 transmits to the ONU 2 the server identifier of the OSS 7 to which it belongs and the station apparatus identifier of itself. The server identifier is the OSS 7 IP address. The station device identifier is an OLT-ID that can identify the OLT 6.

  The terminal station information transmission unit 64 transmits each identifier to each ONU, so that the determination unit 24 and the classification unit 25 can perform their respective operations.

  As described above, according to the subscriber line termination device 2 and the accommodation station device 6 of the present embodiment, even if the optical fiber 3 connected to the subscriber line termination device 2 and the accommodation station device 6 fails, By passing through the subscriber line termination device 2, an alarm can be reliably transmitted to the system side (OSS 7). Further, the system side can determine whether the line failure or the apparatus failure of the optical fiber 3 has occurred. Also, these actions can be realized without changing the hardware of the existing accommodating station apparatus.

  The present embodiment has been described with an example in which the accommodation station device 6 includes two subscriber termination boards (IFs 61 and 62). However, even if the accommodation station apparatus 6 includes two or more subscriber termination boards. Good. Further, the example in which each of the subscriber line termination devices 2 communicates via the network 4 has been described. The network 4 may be a wireless network such as Wi-Fi. In this case, the alarm transmission destination selection unit 26 of the subscriber line terminating device 2 may select the transmission destination of the communication line failure alarm from those having a high received radio wave intensity.

  Although the description of the present embodiment has been made by taking the PON system as an example, the technical idea shown in the present embodiment can be applied to networks other than the PON system. As described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the gist thereof.
