Method And Apparatus For Controlling Delay In A Shared Communications Network

View page
US Patent:
6690892, Feb 10, 2004
Filed:
Nov 20, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/716817
Inventors:
Frank J. Effenberger - Eatontown NJ
Assignee:
Quantum Bridge, Communications, Inc. - Andover MA
International Classification:
H04B 1000
US Classification:
398168, 398 53, 398 98, 398 99, 398102, 398161, 370230, 370252, 370253, 370466
Abstract:
A communications network includes optical network terminations (ONTs) and an optical line termination (OLT) connected to a passive optical network (PON). The OLT measures round trip transmission delay expressed in time slot duration for each of the ONTs, and orders the ONTs in ascending order of respective delay modulo time slot duration. A desired reception time at the OLT is scheduled for each of the OLTs according to the ascending order and each ONT is commanded to transmit at a command time that leads the respective desired reception time by a respective delay integral time slot duration. The scheduling includes leaving a reception interval spare after the last ONT in ascending order. The ascending delay modulo slot protocol becomes more efficient as the number of time slots per frame increases. If the number of time slots per frame is N, then the efficiency of the protocol is (N-1)/N. Unassigned time required per transmission frame is thereby reduced.

Method And Apparatus For Path Selection And Wavelength Assignment In An Optical Network

View page
US Patent:
7020394, Mar 28, 2006
Filed:
Aug 17, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/932850
Inventors:
Hongbiao Zhang - Westford MA, US
Frank J. Effenberger - Freehold NJ, US
Kyoo J. Lee - Westford MA, US
Assignee:
Quantum Bridge Communications, Inc. - Andover MA
International Classification:
H04B 10/08
US Classification:
398 25, 398 57, 398 58
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for determining a shortest path between a source node and a destination node in an optical network of nodes interconnected with optical transmission links is disclosed. A wavelength graph is used to represent an optical network as a set of electronic nodes and optical channel nodes corresponding to the network nodes with a set of internal links and optical channel links. The electronic node represents the electronic switching fabric that interconnects OEO equipment within a physical node. A single-source shortest path algorithm (e. g. , Dijkstra's algorithm) is applied to the wavelength graph to determine a shortest path. The transformation of the network representation to include the electronic node greatly reduces the number of links in the wavelength graph and significantly increases the computational efficiency.

Methods And Apparatus For Raman Crosstalk Reduction Via Idle Data Pattern Control

View page
US Patent:
7424229, Sep 9, 2008
Filed:
Dec 28, 2004
Appl. No.:
11/023741
Inventors:
Frank J. Effenberger - Freehold NJ, US
Assignee:
General Instrument Corporation - Horsham PA
International Classification:
H04B 10/04
US Classification:
398194, 398 81, 398159
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus are provided for reducing Raman crosstalk in a wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM) optical fiber transmission system that transmits a multiplex of channels. Idle data is sent over one or more of the channels of the WDM system in order to maintain the optical link when user data is not being sent. The idle data has an idle data pattern, which can be controlled such that a power spectral density of a signal carried by at least one channel is shifted in order to reduce Raman crosstalk between the channels. For example, the power spectral density may be shifted away from lower frequencies of the channel, and toward the higher frequencies, by controlling the idle data pattern. Alternatively, the power spectral density may be shifted towards unused frequencies of the channel, by controlling the idle data pattern.
