G.709 ODU Maintenance Signals

ODU maintenance signals 

Three ODU maintenance signals are defined as per G.709: ODU-AIS, ODU-OCI and ODU-LCK

ODU alarm indication signal (ODU-AIS) 

 ODUK-AIS-PM is a secondary condition that indicates a more serious condition such as the LOS (OCN/STMN) alarm occurring downstream. The ODUK-AIS-PM condition is reported in the path monitoring area of the optical data unit wrapper overhead. ODUK-AIS-PM is caused by the upstream ODUK-OCI-PM. 

ODUk-AIS is specified as all "1"s in the entire ODU signal, excluding the frame alignment overhead (FA OH), OTU overhead (OTU OH) 

The ODUk contains one instance of ODU AIS. The ODUCn contains n instances of ODU AIS, numbered 1 to n (ODU AIS #1 to #n).

In addition, the ODU-AIS signal may be extended with one or more levels of ODU tandem connection, GCC1, GCC2, EXP and/or APS/PCC overhead before it is presented at the OTN interface. This is dependent on the functionality between the ODU-AIS insertion point and the OTN interface.

The presence of the ODU-AIS is detected by monitoring the ODU STAT bits in the PM and TCMi overhead fields.

 

ODUk open connection indication (ODUk-OCI) 

It indicates that the upstream signal is not connected to a trail termination source. The error is read as a STAT bit in the path monitoring area of the digital wrapper overhead. ODUK-OCI-PM causes a downstream ODUK-LCK-PM alarm. 

ODUk-OCI is specified as a repeating "0110 0110" pattern in the entire ODUk signal, excluding the frame alignment overhead (FA OH) and OTUk overhead (OTUk OH) (see Figure 16-4).

NOTE – ODUCn OCI is not defined.

NOTE – The repeating "0110 0110" pattern is the default pattern; other patterns are also allowed as long as

the STAT bits in the PM and TCMi overhead fields are set to "110".

In addition, the ODUk-OCI signal may be extended with one or more levels of ODUk tandem connection, GCC1, GCC2, EXP and/or APS/PCC overhead before it is presented at the OTM interface. This is dependent on the functionality between the ODUk-OCI insertion point and the OTM interface.

The presence of ODUk-OCI is detected by monitoring the ODUk STAT bits in the PM and TCMi overhead fields. 

 

ODU locked (ODU-LCK)

 ODUK-LCK-PM indicates that a signal is being sent downstream to indicate that the upstream connection is locked, preventing the signal from being passed. The lock is indicated by the STAT bit in the path overhead monitoring fields of the optical transport unit overhead of the digital wrapper. 

ODU-LCK is specified as a repeating "0101 0101" pattern in the entire ODU signal, excluding the frame alignment overhead (FA OH) and OTU overhead (OTU OH) (see Figure 16-5).

ODU-LCK
NOTE – The repeating "0101 0101" pattern is the default pattern; other patterns are also allowed as long as

the STAT bits in the PM and TCMi overhead fields are set to "101".

In addition, the ODU-LCK signal may be extended with one or more additional levels of ODU tandem connection, GCC1, GCC2, EXP and/or the APS/PCC overhead before it is presented at the OTN interface. This is dependent on the functionality between the ODU-LCK insertion point and the OTN interface.

The presence of ODU-LCK is detected by monitoring the ODU STAT bits in the PM and TCMi overhead fields.

What is CDR in Optical Modules

-
  What is CDR (Clock and Data Recovery) in Optical modules?   The full name of CDR is clock and data recovery, which can be simply understood as after the optical signal is converted into an electrical signal, the receiver performs electrical domain shaping and clock recovery.    CDR has two main functions 1. The first is to provide clock signal for each circuit of receiver;  2. The second is to judge the received signal, which is convenient for data signal recovery and subsequent processing.   Because when the optical signal is transmitted to a certain distance, it is usually long-distance transmission, and its waveform will appear a certain degree of distortion. The signals received by the receiver are pulse signals of different lengths. At this time, at the receiver, we can not get the data we need. Therefore, signal regeneration is needed at this time. Signal regeneration functions include re amplification, re shaping and re timin...

What is OpenZR+ for tranponder/muxponder

-
Image
Introduction OpenZR+ defines specifications for 1 00 - 400G single - wavelength optical ports for transceiver/transponder, muxceiver/ m uxponder ( TRXR/ TRPN , M U XR/M UXP ) node functions and for switch/router optical ports .   Open ZR+ Architecture   The architecture, shown in Figure 1 - 1 includes client sub - layers for up to four 100GBASE - R clients , up to two 200GBASE - R clients and a single 400GBASE - R client . Client data and alignment markers are extracted and re - timed to the line side clock domain using the general mapping protocol ( GMP ) . Retimed data plus GMP timing information is then mapped into one of the OpenZR+ frame formats . Those frames are multiplexed and OFEC encode d and become the payload of a DSP frame with DP - 16QAM, DP - 8QAM, or DP QPSK symbols .

Bit rate and Baud rate

-
In telecommunication Bit rate and baud rate are two important terms. Bit rate and baud rate play important role when we talk about Serial protocol  UART or modulation schemes like BPSK or QPSK   etc., Bit rate is the transmission of number of bits per second. It determines the number of bits traveled per second. Baud rate is defined as the number of signal units(also called as elements) per second. It determines how many times the state of a signal is changing.  For example baud rate is 9600 means 9600 signal level changes are happening within a second.It can determine how much bandwidth is required to send the signal. Relation between Bit rate(r), Baud rate(R), the number of bit per baud(n) Bit rate(r) = R x n Baud rate(R)= r/n
