1.3 Features
1. Huge Transmission Capacity

Transmission capacity of the type I system can be upgraded up to 1600 Gbit/s by adding modules of 400 Gbit/s capacity. In a module of 400 Gbit/s capacity, the capacity can get increments with 10 Gbit/s. Transmission capacity of the type II system can be upgraded from 400 Gbit/s to 800 Gbit/s. In a module of 400 Gbit/s capacity, the capacity can get increments with 10 Gbit/s. Maximum transmission capacity of the type III/IV system is 400 Gbit/s. In a module of 400 Gbit/s capacity, the capacity can get increments with 10 Gbit/s. Maximum transmission capacity of the type V system is 402.5 Gbit/s. In the module, the capacity can get increments with 2.5 Gbit/s. The type VI system, a long hop application, is classified as 10-channel system and 40-channel system. In the module, the capacity can get increments with 2.5 Gbit/s or 10 Gbit/s.
2. Long Haul Transmission

When using forward error correction (FEC) technology, the system allows an attenuation of 10%22 dB for transmission without REG. When using technologies such as FEC, SuperWDM, and optical equilibrium, the system allows an attenuation of 25%22 dB for transmission without REG. When using FEC technology and optical amplification technology, the system allows an attenuation of 56 dB in long hop application. Upon this result, the remote optical pumping amplifier (ROPA) technology can extend long hop transmission up to 64 dB transmission attenuation.
3. Abundant Service Access

The OptiX BWS 1600G provides access to the following service types: Standard SDH: STM-1/4/16/64 Standard synchronous optical network (SONET): OC-3/12/48/192 Standard SDH concatenated payload: VC-4-4c/16c/64c Standard SONET concatenated payload: STS-3c/12c/48c/192c ETHERNET: Gigabit Ethernet (GE) Other service: Services with rate from 34 Mbit/s to 2.5 Gbit/s, such as enterprise system connection (ESCON) /fiber connection (FICON) /Fiber Channel (FC)/fiber Huawei Technologies Proprietary

distributed data interface (FDDI)/PDH (34 Mbit/s/45 Mbit/s/140 Mbit/s). The type I and type IV systems only access SDH, SONET and POS services at 2.5 Gbit/s and 10 Gbit/s. The type II, type III, and type VI systems access all the services listed above. The type V system can only access the services at 2.5 Gbit/s and below.
4. Dedicated Optical Supervisory Channel and Clock Transmission Channels

The optical supervisory channel mainly carries orderwire and network management information. The OptiX BWS 1600G transmits supervisory signals at 1510 nm, with the transmission speed of 2.048 Mbit/s. The OptiX BWS 1600G also provides three high-quality clock transmission channels, each at a transmission speed of 2.048 Mbit/s. The three clock transmission channels are embedded into the optical supervisory channel.
5. Integrated System and Open System Compatibility

There are two types of DWDM system available: integrated DWDM system and open DWDM system. The open DWDM system is configured with OTUs to convert non-standard wavelengths into ITU-T G.694.1-compliant wavelength. The integrated DWDM system does not need the OTUs when its client side equipment (for example, SDH equipment) has ITU-T G.694.1-compliant optical transmitter interfaces. The OptiX BWS 1600G achieves the combination of open and integrated system.
6. Centralized Intelligent Network Management

The OptiX BWS 1600G can be managed by the centralized intelligent NM due to its excellent interconnectivity with other Huawei products.

1.4 Characteristics
1.4.1 Service Characteristics
1. Low-speed Service Aggregation

The OptiX BWS 1600G supports the aggregation of low-speed services. It can: Multiplex two channels of GE signals into one channel of STM-16 signal; Multiplex one channel of GE signal and one channels of STM-4 signals into one channel of STM-16 signal; Multiplex four channels of STM-1/STM-4 signals into one channel of STM-16 signal; Multiplex four channels of STM-16 signals into one channel of OTU2 signal.
2. High-quality Clock Transmission

The OptiX BWS 1600G offers a new solution for transmission of synchronous clock. Its optical supervisory channel provides three clock transmission channels operating at 2 Mbit/s. The clock signals can be added/dropped or just pass through at any station.
3. Scalable Optical Add/Drop and Multiplexing Technology

The OptiX BWS 1600G system can add/drop a maximum of 32 channels by cascading optical add/drop multiplexing boards. The 800G and 400G systems can add/drop all services by cascading optical add/drop multiplexing boards.

1.4.2 Technical Characteristics


1. Forward Error Correction

OTU in the OptiX BWS 1600G uses FEC and EFEC (enhanced FEC) technology to: Decrease the requirements on the receiver optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR), to stretch the span of optical amplification sections or optical regeneration sections. Decrease the bit error ratio (BER) in the line transmission, to improve the quality of service (QoS) of DWDM transmission network. AFEC and EFEC are relatively new error correction techniques which adopt two-level encoding, have increase in encoding gain, and can equally distribute burst errors. AFEC and EFEC are more powerful than FEC.

1-9

OptiX BWS 1600G TM 2. Tunable Wavelengths

1 Overview

The OptiX BWS 1600G provides optical tunable transponder (OTT), such as the LWF board and OCU board. An OTT can operate at tunable wavelengths (totally 40 channels), to replace OTUs of different wavelength characteristics when necessary. Ordering OTT as spare board greatly reduces the cost of spare parts, because not so many spare OTUs are required.
3. Mature EDFA Technology

The OptiX BWS 1600G uses mature erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) technology for amplification of C-band and L-band signals, and the accomplishment of long haul transmission without REG. EDFA adopts gain locking technology and transient control technology to make the gain of each channel independent of the number of channels. Bit error bursts in the existing channels are also avoided during adding or dropping channels.
4. Advanced Raman Amplification Technology

Besides the EDFA amplification, the system also supports Raman fiber amplification. The hybrid application of the Raman and EDFA achieves broad gain bandwidth and low system noise, and reduces the interference of non-linearity on the system, thus greatly stretching the transmission distance.
5. Unique SuperWDM Technology

By using RZ encoding and unique phase modulation technology, the OptiX BWS 1600G is capable of effectively suppressing the non-linear impairments in transmission and improving the noise tolerance capability. With the SuperWDM technology, the OptiX BWS 1600G achieves ultra long haul application in the absence of Raman amplifier.
6. Jitter Suppression

By adopting advanced jitter suppression and clock extraction technology, the jitter performance of the OptiX BWS 1600G is better than the requirements defined by DWDM related ITU-T Recommendations. OTUs of the system also check B1 and B2 bit errors, and extract J0 bytes. Thus when accessing the SDH equipment, the system can quickly detect whether the bit error occurred to the SDH section or the optical path. This function is of critical importance when the OptiX BWS 1600G system accesses the SDH equipments of different vendors.

1 Overview

1.4.3 Intelligent Adjustment


1. Automatic Level Control

The system applies automatic level control (ALC) function to control the power along the link, thereby ensuring the normal laser level in the optical fiber. The ALC function keeps the optical signal at normal level and prevents the input/output power of the downstream optical amplifiers from declining. This improves the quality of the transmission signals.
2. Intelligent Power Adjustment

The intelligent power adjustment (IPA) protects the human body from the exposure to the laser, which can be emitted from open interface or fiber cracks. If there is a leakage of optical power, the system will reduce the optical power to that lower than the safe threshold.
3. Automatic Power Equilibrium

In long haul transmission, the non-flatness of per-channel OSNR at the receiving end becomes a serious issue. With the automatic power equilibrium (APE) function, the OptiX BWS 1600G can automatically adjust the launched optical power of each channel, thus achieving power equilibrium at the receiving end and improving the OSNR. The APE is well suited for applications with many spans.
4. Intelligent Environment Temperature Monitoring System

The OptiX BWS 1600G is designed with intelligent system for environment temperature monitoring, reporting and alarming. This ensures the normal running of the system under a stable temperature.

1.4.4 Automatic Monitoring


1. Optical Fiber Line Automatic Monitoring Function

The OptiX BWS 1600G offers an optical fiber line automatic monitoring system (OAMS) to alert the aging of fiber, alarm the fiber fault and locate the fault. The OAMS is a built-in system optional for ordering.
2. In-service Optical Performance Monitoring

There are optical monitoring interfaces on multiplexer/demultiplexer, optical amplifier, and so on. Optical spectrum analyzer or multi-wavelength meter can be directly connected to these monitoring interfaces, to measure performance parameters at reference points while not interrupting the service. These monitoring interfaces can also connect to built-in optical multi-channel Huawei Technologies Proprietary

The OptiX BWS 1600G offers five types of network element: OTM: Optical Terminal Multiplexer

OADM: Optical Add/Drop Multiplexer

Each NE type can operate at 160 channels at most.

3.1 OTM
3.1.1 Signal Flow
OTM is a terminating station of the DWDM network. An OTM is divided into the transmitting end and the receiving end. At the transmitting end, the OTM receives optical signals from multiple client equipments (for example, SDH equipment), and converts these signals, multiplexes, amplifies and sends them on a single optical fiber. At the receiving end, the OTM demultiplexes the signals into individual channels and distributes them to the corresponding client equipments. An OTM consists of: Optical transponder unit (OTU) Optical multiplexer (OM) Optical demultiplexer (OD) Huawei Technologies Proprietary

Figure 3-1 OTM signal flow

At the transmitting end, up to 160 client-side signals are received at OTU boards, where these received signals are converted into standard DWDM signals in compliance with ITU-T Recommendation G.694.1. The OM multiplexes these signals and sends them to the OA for amplification. Meanwhile, the DCM implements dispersion compensation. Finally, the amplified main path signal and supervisory signal are multiplexed, through the FIU, and sent to the optical fiber for transmission. At the receiving end, the RPU (optional), a low-noise pump amplifier, amplifies the received main path signal. Then the main path signal is separated into supervisory signal and service signal. After amplification and dispersion compensation, the service signal is sent to the OD and demultiplexed by the OD. The supervisory signal is directly processed by the OSC or OTC. The OM, OD and OA provide optical performance monitoring port, through which the MCA is accessed for monitoring central wavelength, optical power and OSNR of multiple channels of optical signals.

multiplexed signal in L-band, with channel spacing of 50 GHz. After amplification and dispersion compensation, the signals of two bands, together with optical supervisory signal or optical supervisory signal & clock signal, are sent to the optical fiber for transmission.

Note: The channel spacing within each group is 100 GHz, that is the channel spacing at each multiplexer/demultiplexer is 100 GHz. But the spacing between two adjacent channels, for example channel 1 and channel 2, is 50 GHz. Therefore, the interleaver can be used to realize 50 GHz channel spacing for the 1600G transmission system. For example, the frequencies of a multiplexed signal are 192.1 THz, 192.2 THz 196.0 THz, totally 40 channels, and those of another multiplexed signal are 192.15 THz, 192.25 THz 196.05 THz, totally 40 channels. After passing through the interleaver, the output frequencies change to 192.1 THz, 192.15 THz, 192.2 THz, 192.25 THz, , 196.0 THz, 196.05 THZ, with channel spacing of 50 GHz. In this way, the interleaver multiplexes/demultiplexes odd channels and even channels.

2. Type II System

The type II system can be realized in two ways: C+L 800G C 800G The channel spacing of the C+L 800G system is 100 GHz, and that of the C 800G system is 50 GHz. The structure of the OM, OD, and OA of the type II system is similar to that of the type I system. The OM, OD and OA of the C+L 800G system operate at C-EVEN and L-ODD bands, and those of the C 800G system operate at C-EVEN and C-ODD, as shown in Figure 3-3.

3.1.4 Configuration Principle


1. Configuration of M40, V40 and VA4

In an open system, if the output power of the OTU boards is not adjustable, the number of optical channels is more than 16, and there is a need for power equalization, use V40. If the number of optical channels is less than 16, and there is a need for power equalization, install one M40 along with several VA4. In an integrated system, if there is a need for power equalization, install V40. In a hybrid system, if the output power of the OTU boards is not adjustable, the number of optical channels is more than 16, and there is a need for power equalization, M40 is replaced by V40 of corresponding band. If the number of optical channels is less than 16, and there is a need for power equalization, install one M40 along with several VA4. If there is no need for power equalization, install M40.

The OADM unit in Figure 3-14 is formed by MB2 or MR2, and can support full add/drop at C-band. At the receiving end, the RPU (optional), a low-noise pump amplifier, amplifies line optical signals. The FIU demultiplexes the line optical signals into service signals and supervisory signal. The supervisory signal is sent to the OSC or OTC for processing. The C-band service signals are added/dropped some channels in the OADM. Note that the service signals may need to be amplified before they enter or after they go out of the OADM unit. The L-band service signals are also amplified through the OA. Finally, C-band and L-band service signals are combined with supervisory signal and sent to the optical fiber.

If OTUs need centralized power protection, a PBU board should be configured in slot 1 of each subrack holding OTU. And all OTU boards are placed in turn to right after the PBU. The configurations of OADM of other systems are similar to that of the type III system.

3.4 REG
3.4.1 Signal Flow
We have already discussed that OLA can extend the optical transmission distance without regeneration. However, when the distance is longer, such factors as dispersion, power loss, optical noise, non-linear effect, or PMD will affect the transmission performance. In this case, we need to regenerate the original signals. A REG accomplishes the 3R function, i.e. reshaping, re-timing and regenerating to improve signal quality and extend the transmission distance. An REG station contains: Optical transponder unit (OTU) Optical multiplexer (OM) Optical demultiplexer (OD) Optical amplifier (OA) Optical supervisory channel unit or supervisory channel and timing transporting unit (OSC/OTC) Fiber interface unit (FIU) Multi-channel spectrum analyzer unit (MCA) System control & communication unit (SCC) Power backup unit (PBU) Figure 3-21 shows the REG signal flow block diagram.

3.4.3 Typical Configuration


The configuration of REG is basically equivalent to that of two back-to-back OTMs, following the same configuration rule. Difference: REG needs to configure a bidirectional OSC/OTC or a group of that for backup. REG needs to configure two FIU boards. REG needs the regenerating OTU. The configuration of REG of 20-channel application in type III system is the same as that shown in Figure 3-20.

3.5 OEQ
3.5.1 Signal Flow
In the extra long haul (ELH) application, as the transmission distance without regenerator is much longer than that in the long haul application, the following problems may occur. Accumulation of non flatness of optical amplifier gain spectrum and fiber attenuation spectrum causes disequilibrium between the optical power and signal-to-noise ratio at the receiving end. The dispersion slope of DCM does not match with optical fibers completely, so all wavelengths cannot be compensated completely, and the dispersion at the receiving end fails to meet the requirement of the system. To better realize optical power equalization and dispersion compensation, the OEQ is used in the ELH application. Currently, the type II and II systems can realize ELH transmission. The OEQ equipment consists of optical power equalizer and dispersion equalizer.

Point-to-point The point-to-point network, composed of OTM and OLA, is the most prevalent networking mode adopted by the OptiX BWS 1600G. Chain The chain network is frequently used in national DWDM backbone network that is of high capacity and long distance. A chain network may comprise of OTM, OLA, OADM, REG and OEQ, and can be regarded as the extension of point-to-point network. Ring The ring network is largely used in regional network. It may comprise of OADMs or back-to-back OTMs depending on the practical situation. In practice, one OADM in the DWDM ring network may be composed of back-to-back OTMs to eliminate the accumulated noise caused by the amplifier.

The span attenuation is the actual attenuation of fibers, not including the loss of any optical components.

Note: In section 4.1 , the span attenuation is the actual attenuation of the fiber, that is, the difference between the output optical power of local station and input optical power of the downstream station, not including the attenuation of FIU board. In section 4.1 , the typical distances in the networking specification are calculated on condition that the fiber attenuation coefficient is 0.275 dB/km.

The Raman amplifier can suppress OSNR from deteriorating to support more spans, and to transmit signals longer. With Raman amplification, the type I system supports a transmission distance of 640 km without a regenerator. If the type I system uses out-band EFEC, it can support longer transmission without REG.

If the system adopts the Raman amplifier, the noise of signals is greatly reduced, thus realizing long-haul transmission without REG. The SuperWDM technology (CRZ encoding) can effectively suppress non-linearity in the system, increase the tolerance to OSNR, to realize over 1000 km transmission without REG and Raman amplifier.

In ultra-long distance transmission, non-flatness of optical power and dispersion will occur to each channel. If there are more than 12 optical amplification spans, the system should be equipped with OEQ; if the distance of the fiber in multiplex section exceeds 1000 km, the system should be equipped with dispersion equalization equipment. If the system adopts Raman amplification or EFEC, the system performance is improved, thus enhancing the transmission capability over single hop. The specifications listed in Table 4-5 and Table 4-6 show the application of type III in G.652 and G.655 optical fibers. For G.653, the appropriate wavelength and input optical power should be selected in C-band to avoid the mixing of four wavelengths.

4.2 System Functions


4.2.1 Automatic Level Control
In DWDM system, optical fiber aging, optical connector aging or manual factors might lead to the abnormal attenuation of transmission lines. In case the attenuation on a line segment increases, all input and output power will be reduced on all downstream amplifiers. The system OSNR will get worse. At the same time, the received optical power will also be reduced. Receiving performance will be greatly affected. The closer the attenuated segment is to the transmission end, the more influence on OSNR there will be, as shown in Figure 4-2. If the automatic level control (ALC) function is activated, this effect can be minimized. As the attenuation on a line segment is increased, the input power on the amplifier will be reduced. But due to ALC, the output power as well as the input and output powers of other downstream amplifiers will not be changed. Hence there will be much less influence on OSNR. The optical power received by the receiver will not be changed. Figure 4-3 shows the power changes on optical line amplification regenerators in the gain control and power control modes in case of abnormal attenuation on optical fiber lines.

In normal working, two elements might cause the input power change in the optical amplifier: The addition/reduction of access channels (multiple channels might be added or dropped at the same time) In order not to affect the normal working of other channels, the system should quickly respond to the change. The system works in the gain control mode. The abnormal attenuation in the physical media Huawei Technologies Proprietary 4-8

OptiX BWS 1600G TM

4 Networking and System Applications

ALC determine the adjustment of the variable optical attenuator according to the channel amount and output power. The redundancy design of the system permits the abnormal line attenuation adjustment. If the attenuation is within the limit, the adjustment process will take several minutes. It will ensure the normal working of the system. ALC is realized through channel amount detection and reference power.
1. Channel Amount Detection

Prerequisite: One MCA needs to be configured on the ALC link. Realization: The optical amplifier works in AGC mode and realizes ALC function with MCA. The MCA analyzes the amount of working channels. Based on the amount of channels and the output power, the optical amplifier determines the working status and adjusts attenuation to keep the output power stable (the power of a single channel remains unchanged).
2. Reference Power

Prerequisite: The output optical power of the first node on the ALC link is taken as reference value. Realization: The optical amplifier works in AGC mode, by activating the detection of the output optical power of the optical amplifier at the first node to determine further actions. Compare the detecting result with the information reported before the ALC command is trigged. If consistent, deliver the ALC adjustment command formally to adjust attenuation, thus keeping the output optical power stable (the power of a single channel remains unchanged).

4.2.2 Intelligent Power Adjustment


The OptiX BWS 1600G system provides the intelligent power adjustment (IPA) function. In case the optical power signals on one or more segments of the active optical path are lost, the system can detect the loss of optical signals on the link and instantly reduce the optical power of the amplifier to a safety level. It will reduce the optical power of all amplifiers in the regeneration section of the downstream. When the optical signals are restored to normal, the optical amplifier will work again. The loss of optical signals might be caused by fiber cut, equipment deterioration, or connector disconnections.

Note: In the DWDM system, the IPA function is started only when optical signals of the active optical path are lost. When this function is executed, you can monitor optical power and shut down the lasers on the main path only. No operation will be implemented on the optical supervisory channel. Hence the functions of all optical supervisory channels will not be affected.

4.2.3 Automatic Power Equilibrium


The automatic power equilibrium (APE) function can automatically adjust optical power of each channel at the transmitting end, so as to optimize the OSNR at the receiving end. The APE function is implemented by MCA, V40, SC1 and SCC. Their networking is shown in Figure 4-4.
OAU

O T U

V 4 0

M C A

SC1 Adjustment station Monitoring station

Figure 4-4 Networking for APE function

The normal functioning of APE requires the coordination between the optical boards and the SCC board, and the participation of the user. As shown in Figure 4-4, for power equilibrium, each channel power at the transmitting end can be adjusted according to the per channel power measured by the MCA at the receiving end. The APE brings convenience to DWDM system test in deployment and subsequent network maintenance. The APE function mode can also be set allowing user to decide whether to adjust the optical power. Configuration principle: APE is optional and configured according to users requirement. To implement the APE function, it is required that the OTM station at the transmitting end should be configured with V40, and the OTM station at the receiving end should be configured with MCA. Moreover, since DWDM is a dual-fiber bidirectional system, an MCA should be configured at the both ends of a multiplexing section. To implement the APE function, it is required to install MCA and OSC unit (SC1/SC2/TC1/TC2) in one subrack. If not, network port ETHERNET 2 of two subracks should be interconnected. To implement the APE function, it is required to install V40 and OSC unit (SC1/SC2/TC1/TC2) in one subrack. If not, network port ETHERNET 2 of two subracks should be interconnected.

Huawei Technologies Proprietary 4-10

OptiX BWS 1600G TM

4 Networking and System Applications

Note: 1. Here we define an adjustment station where optical power is adjusted and a monitoring station where optical power is measured by the MCA. 2. To start the APE function, the V40 of the adjustment station and one of optical interfaces of the MCA of the monitoring station should be first configured as an APE function pair, and enable APE function. 3. There is a dedicated APE protocol byte in the overhead frame of the supervisory signal, which is used for transmitting APE related information. 4. Since an OADM station may exist between adjustment station and monitoring station, all the wavelengths detected in monitoring station may not be adjusted by V40 in the adjustment station. As a result, the wavelengths with APE function activated should be specified by NM.

4.2.4 Clock Transmission


The OptiX BWS 1600G offers a new solution for transmission of synchronous clock. Its optical supervisory channel provides three clock transmission channels operating at 2 Mbit/s. In each network element, upstream clock can be transparently transmitted, or sent to local BITS clock receiving equipment, or it can work in the combination of both. The detailed configuration plan should be designed by the network planning engineer according to the actual requirements and needs. In network design, not only the DWDM system but also the local digital synchronous clock network shall be taken into account. Clock transmission in an OptiX network is explained in the following example and Figure 4-5. Terminal-A is transmitting the clock. Along the East channel, optical amplifier-1 passes the clocks (CLK) channel transparently, i.e. no clock is added or dropped, while optical amplifier-2 can add or drop one CLK channel to/from the main path. Terminal-B terminates the East CLK. Similarly, Terminal-B is transmitting the CLK on West channel. Where at amplifier-2 the CLK signal channel is dropped locally and meanwhile passed transparently to the down stream. Optical amplifier-1 can add and drop the one CLK channel to/from the main path. Finally the CLK is terminated at Terminal-A.

Figure 4-5 Schematic diagram of clock transmission

In the OptiX BWS 1600G system, clock transmission can be set to protection mode or non-protection mode. In clock protection mode, two carrier wavelengths are used, with 1510 nm for normal channel and 1625 nm for protected channel. A summary of clock transmission is given below. In the case that there is no clock being added/dropped at intermediate station, the system supports 3-channel clock transmission at East and West directions respectively, no matter in clock protection mode or clock non-protection mode. In the case that there is clock being added/dropped at intermediate station, the intermediate station supports at most 3 clock channels in clock non-protection mode. The 3 clock channels may come from both East and West directions. In the case that there is clock being added/dropped at intermediate station, the intermediate station supports at most 3 clock channels in clock non-protection mode. The 3 clock channels must come from one direction (East or West).

4.2.5 Optical Fiber Line Automatic Monitoring


The OptiX BWS 1600G provides the OAMS (Optical fiber line Automatic Monitoring System) to alert fiber aging, fiber alarm, and locate the fault. The OAMS realizes the monitoring on the fiber link. As an embedded system, OAMS is optional depending on the requirement of users.
1. Monitor and Test

OAMS provides two monitoring modes On-line (light fiber) monitoring: To monitor and test a working optical fiber (cable). In this case, the wavelength of test signal is 1310 nm. Standby fiber (dark fiber) monitoring: To monitor and test a standby optical fiber (cable). In this case, the wavelength of test signal is 1550 nm. OAMS provides two test modes Unidirectional test: To monitor and test a span with unidirectional test signal. In this case, two adjacent spans share an independent remote test unit (RTU), so the RTU number is greatly reduced and OAMS cost decreases accordingly.

In online monitoring, it is used to multiplex the service signal of DWDM system with the test signal.

The board is used only when the service signal and the test signal are in the same direction.

In the Figure 4-8, the DWDM node can be OTM, OLA, OADM, OEQ or REG. The OTDR module in FMU emits the optical test pulse, and receives, collects, processes and reports the reflection signal, thus monitoring the running status of the fiber in real time. FMU can monitor at most four lines of optical fibers. The coupler on MWA multiplexes the service signal and test signal in one fiber for transmission. When the test signal and service signal are transmitted in the same direction, the filter on MWF can filter the test signal at the receiving node to eliminate the effect to the system. The structure and configuration of OAMS vary with network specifications. The figure here only shows the OAMS of unidirectional test. Standby fiber monitoring Compared with online monitoring, standby fiber monitoring is easier to be implemented, that is, directly access the test wavelength (1550 nm) into the standby fiber for test, as shown in Figure 4-9.

4. System Function

On-line monitoring of optical power of fiber link Query the input and output optical power of the optical fiber link between nodes, that is, the output optical power of one station and the input optical power of the next station. Obtain the attenuation over the link between two adjacent nodes through the NM and compare the result with the pre-set data. Take the difference of the optical power as the trigger to enable the test. When the difference exceeds the pre-set value or the threshold set by the user through NM, the OAMS will be enabled to test the performance of optical fiber link. Multiple test modes The system provides two ways to test fibers according to the priority. Huawei Technologies Proprietary 4-16

OptiX BWS 1600G TM

4 Networking and System Applications

On-demand test: Generate through NM manually, select and control a RTU to test a certain fiber in the monitored optical fiber line. Periodical test: Conventional test, namely the test is started upon the previously arranged conditions are satisfied. The equipment will report the result as an event to NM after the test. The test requirement of higher priority can stop that of lower priority to start a new test queue. Analysis of test events Besides the test function, the OAMS system also provides analysis of the test result and then reports the corresponding test curve and event list to NM. Fiber alarm The equipment reports alarms depending on the analysis of the test curve. The alarms fall into three levels. Critical alarm: Burst of event over 5 dB, including fiber break. The terminal shows red and gives audible and visible prompt. Major alarm: The difference between the attenuation of the whole path and the acceptance value (or original data) is no less than 3 dB; or the attenuation increase event (new or not) is no less than 2 dB. The terminal shows pink and gives visible prompt. Minor alarm: The difference between the attenuation of the whole path and the acceptance value (or original data) is no less than 1 dB, while less than 3 dB; or the attenuation increase event (new or not) is no less than 1 dB. This alarm will be report to NM and recorded as an exception for future query, but will not give prompt.

Note: Event: The event in OAMS refers to the physical circumstances showing the status of the optical fiber line during OTDR test. It comprises reflection event and non-reflection event. The fiber reflection events include connector, mechanical connection point and optical fiber end, and so on. While the non-reflection events include optical fiber fusion point, fiber break, bending or macrobend.

Protection

The power supply system supports two 48 V/60 V DC power inputs for mutual protection. Therefore, the equipment keeps running normally in case either of the two DC inputs is faulty.

Important boards adopt two power modules for 1+1 power hot backup, to avoid system breakdown by damage of one power module.

5.1.3 Centralized Power Protection for OTUs


The system uses power backup unit (PBU) to provide centralized power protection for the secondary power of all OTUs on each subrack, including: +3.3 V power supply of the OTU +5 V power supply of the OTU 5.2 V power supply of the OTU When detecting the secondary power of the OTU fails (under-voltage), the system switches to the PBU for power supply in 600s. The PBU can supply power for two OTUs simultaneously. The PBU is inserted in slot 1, providing power backup for all OTUs in the subrack, as shown in Figure 5-1.

Figure 5-2 1+1 line protection

As shown in the Figure 5-2, two optical fibers in one optical cable are used as a bidirectional working path, and other two optical fibers from the second optical cable are used as the protected path. Normally, the working path carries information traffic. In case of any abnormality in the working path, for example, the working optical cable is broken or the performance becomes deteriorated, the traffic will automatically switch to the protected path through the OLP. Moreover, the protection path is monitored in real-time. When any problem occurs to the protected path, the equipment can detect the fault and handle it in time. Therefore, the DWDM equipment protects the transmission line on the optical layer level, with the help of OLP.

The advantages of optical channel protection are fast switching and no need for protection switching protocol. Intra-OTU 1+1 optical channel protection Some OTUs like LWM, LWX, LDG, LQS, LGS, AP4 and EC8 have such a function called dual-fed signal selection, which could realize the optical channel protection, as shown in Figure 5-4. At the client side, optical signals are accessed by the OTU boards, then these signals are reshaped, regenerated, retimed, and sent to the working channel and protection channel through a splitter. At the receiving end, another OTU will receive the signals from both the working channel and the protection channel. The channel of signals with better quality is further processed and sent to the client side. The advantage of this protection scheme is low cost. The disadvantage is that if the OTU itself is damaged, no protection will be provided.

Inter-OTU 1+1 optical channel protection For the protected wavelength, the SCS board at the transmitting end divides the incoming client side services into two channels, and sends them to the working OTU and protection OTU. Another SCS board at the receiving end combines the services from the working OTU and the protection OTU, and sends them to the client side. Figure 5-5 shows the mechanism.

In normal condition, the services in the working channel will be received and further processed, while the services in the protection channel will be terminated. That is, optical signals are output from the working channel at the receiving end and the client side optical transmitter of the protection channel is shut down. If LOS alarm is detected in the working channel, the services in the protection channel will be received and processed while the services in the working channel will be terminated. That is, optical signals are output from the protection channel and the client-side optical transmitter at the receiving end is shut down. You can select protection or non-protection for every service channel. If selecting protection, the number of OTU boards should be doubled and a certain number of SCS boards are required. Refer to OptiX BWS 1600G Backbone DWDM Optical Transmission Hardware Description Manual for detailed description of SCS This optical channel protection is usually used in ring networking.

Note: To realize 1+1 optical channel protection, it is required to set channel protection pair on the NM.

Client-side optical channel protection Client-side protection is only applicable to OTUs with convergence function, such as TMX, LDG, LQS, AP4 and EC8.

5 Protection

The SCS can split or couple two optical signals. As shown in Figure 5-6, after receiving two client optical signals, the SCS splits each signal into two channels and then sends them to the working and protection OTUs, respectively. After convergence and wavelength conversion, the signals are sent to the line for transmission. When a channel of client signal received by working OTU is faulty, only this channel of signal is switched. No switching is performed at WDM side. That is, the working OTU in the opposite end will shut down the client-side transmitting laser corresponding to this failed channel, and the protection OTU in the opposite end will turn on the corresponding client-side transmitting laser. Other normal signals are still transmitted through the working OTU. The client-side protection can be seen as a subset of 1+1 OTU inter-board protection. When protection switching occurs, only part of client-side services is switched to the protection OTU, no need for switching all services.

Figure 5-7 Schematic diagram of 1:N (N8) OTU protection

As shown in Figure 5-7, wavelengths 1 to 8 are used as working channels while wavelength 9 is used as the protection channel. During normal working, the protection wavelength carries no service. When any OTU with working wavelength 1 8 becomes faulty, the service of the faulty OTU is switched to the standby OTU. That is to say, the traffic will shift to 9 through the optical switch at the transmitting end, and is further sent to the protected client equipment. If multiple OTUs are faulty, the system will protect the service with the highest priority level. The advantage is that one dedicated OTU protects the service of N (N8) working OTU boards and switches the service at both the transmitting and receiving ends. The APS protocol is used for service switching. Stable switching mechanism ensures high system performance and saves your investment.

Note: 1. N (N8) working OTU boards and one standby OTU form one protection group. But in such a protection group, each OTU and the OCP board must be plugged in the same subrack. 2. To realize 1:N (N8) OTU protection, it is required to set protection pair on the NM.

Currently, the OTUs supporting 1:N (N8) OTU protection include: LWF/LWFS LWS LWC1 The 1:8 OTU protection is applied in any networking structure.

The clock is the heartbeat of any transmission equipment. For smooth system running, OptiX BWS 1600G system provides equipment/network level protection for the clock channel. The system supports two different clock protection modes: one is dual-fed and dual-receiving, and the other is dual-fed signal selection. In the first protection mode, clock selection is performed by customer external BITS system. The protection is shown in Figure 5-8.

TC1 (unidirectional optical supervisory channel and timing transporting unit) is used in the OTM and supports three input/output clocks locally. TC2 (bidirectional optical supervisory channel and timing transporting unit) supports three clocks output locally and three clocks input to the system. It is used in the OLA, OADM and REG. To provide 1+1 clock redundancy, two TC1 or TC2 boards are used, working at 1510 nm (active) and 1625 nm (standby). To provide redundancy, two TC boards must be plugged in slot 6 and slot 8 on the subrack at the same time (the board in slot 8 is the backup for the board in slot 6). When only one TC board is being used, the clock protection function cannot be activated. The transmission of up to 3 clocks in west direction and 3 clocks in east direction is supported.

5.4 Network Management Channel


5.4.1 Protection of Network Management Information Channel
In DWDM systems, network management information is transmitted over an optical supervisory channel, which shares the same physical channel with the main path. It is obvious that, any abnormality or failure in main path will affect the supervisory channel as well. Therefore, a backup supervisory channel must be provided. In ring network, when fiber cut occurs in a certain direction, network management information is automatically switched to the optical supervisory channel in the other direction of the ring, as shown in Figure 5-13. So the management of the whole network is not affected.

Management information Normal supervisory channel NE D Network cable Optical fiber NE C

Figure 5-13 Network management protection in ring network (a certain section fails)

However, when the problem occurs in both directions, or a certain section in point-to-point and chain networks fails, the network management channel will fail. Consequently, the network management administrators cannot get the supervisory information of failed station and operate the station. To avoid such circumstance, network management information should be transmitted through the backup channel. The OptiX BWS 1600G provides backup network management channel through data communication network (DCN). To set up backup network management channel, access the DCN between the two Huawei Technologies Proprietary

A.1 Dispersion Limited Distance


1. Chromatic Dispersion

The chromatic dispersion is a dominant factor restricting the transmission distance, which is caused by the characteristics of the transmitting optical source and media (optical fiber material).
2. Transmission Restriction

With the increasing transmission rate in the optical fiber system and the cascading of multiple EDFA in the optical transmission system, the overall dispersion and related dispersion costs in the transmission link will become higher. This is a serious issue. At present, dispersion limitation has become a vital element in deciding many system regeneration section distances. In the single module optical fiber, the dispersion mainly includes material dispersion and wave-guide dispersion, which might cause different time delays in different frequencies. In terms of time domain, this might lead to the extension of optical pulses, which can cause the interference between optical pulses. The result is the deterioration of transmitted signals.
3. Effect-Reducing Method

In some optical amplification sub-systems, the passive dispersion compensation device can be combined with the optical amplifier. This sub-system will add limited chromatic dispersion to the system, making the dispersion coefficient reverse to the original one and reduces the system chromatic dispersion. This device can be mounted together with EDFA to compensate for the loss related with the passive dispersion compensation. In addition, the use of G.655 and G.653 optical fibers, are beneficial to minimize the chromatic dispersion.

A Measures in DWDM Network Designing

During the DWDM network design, the whole network is divided into several regeneration sections. Each section should be less than the dispersion-restricted distance of the optical source. Thus the dispersion of the whole network can be tolerated.

Tips: In dispersion calculation, for G.652 fibers, the typical dispersion coefficient in 1550 nm window is 17 ps/nm.km. In engineering design, the budget should be 20 ps/nm.km.

A.2 Signal Power


Long-distance transmission of the optical signals requires that the signal power be enough to offset optical fiber loss. It is natural, that with distance increasing, the optical power becomes less and less. This phenomenon is known as attenuation. The attenuation coefficient of the G.652 optical fiber in the 1550 nm window is generally about 0.25 dB/km. Considering the optical connector, optical fiber redundancy and other factors, the composite optical fiber attenuation coefficient is usually less than 0.275 dB/km. In specific calculation, power budget is normally calculated between two adjacent equipments in the transmission network. The distance (loss) between two adjacent equipments in a transmission network, is called trunk distance (loss).
Node A S P out L R P in Node B

Figure A-1 Trunk loss calculation principle

If Pout is the output power (dBm) of a single channel at point S, and Pin is the minimum allowed input power (dBm) of a single channel at point R, then Regenerator distance = (Pout - Pin) /a Where a is the accumulative attenuation of optical cables (dB/km) per km (according to relevant ITU-T recommendation, a=0.275 dB/km). Power budget calculations are used to determine distance between regeneration sections.

A.3 Optical Signal-to-Noise Ratio


1. Noise Generation Principle

The optical amplifier also generates the light signals with broad bandwidth, called amplified spontaneous emission (ASE). In a transmission system with several cascaded EDFAs, like original signals, ASE noise of the optical amplifier can be attenuated and amplified. As the entered ASE noise is amplified in each optical amplifier and is overlapped on ASE generated by the optical amplifier, the total ASE noise power is increased in proportion to the number of optical amplifiers. The noise power might be more than the signal power. ASE noise spectrum distribution is changed with system length. When ASE noise from the first optical amplifier is sent to the second optical amplifier, the gain distribution of the second optical amplifier will cause ASE noise due to gain saturation, which will cause gain distribution change. Similarly, the valid gain distribution of the third optical amplifier will also be changed. This effect will be transmitted to the next optical amplifier towards downstream. Even the implementation of narrow-band filter cannot avoid this noise, because the noise exists in the same band in which the original signal exists. The optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) is defined as: OSNR =signal optical power per channel/noise optical power per channel
2. Transmission Restriction

ASE noise accumulation affects the systems OSNR, because the receiving signal OSNR deterioration is mainly related to ASE beat noises. Beat noises are increased linearly with the increase of optical amplifier number. Therefore, the error rate is deteriorated together with the increase of optical amplifier number. In addition, noises are accumulated as exponentially with the gain range of amplifiers. As a result of optical amplifier gain, ASE noise spectrum with the accumulation of ASE noises from multiple optical amplifiers will have a wavelength peak caused by the spontaneous emission effect. It should be noted that in a closed full optical loop network system equally to innumerable optical amplifiers are cascaded, ASE noises will be infinitely accumulated. In the system with narrow band filters, the ASE accumulation will be reduced due to the filter, but the in-band ASE will be increased with the increase of optical amplifiers. Therefore, OSNR will be smaller for more optical amplifiers.
3. Consideration of OSNR in DWDM Network Design

(Note: This section contains additional information. You may skip this section). For different network applications, the OSNR requirements are more or less similar, as given in Table A-1.

Amplifier cascade type 5 20 dB system (5 72 km) 2 24 dB system (2 87 km) 1 28 dB system (1 101 km)

OSNR (dB) 20 20 20

OSNR is an important factor of DWDM system error performance. For a DWDM system with multiple cascaded line optical amplifiers, the optical power of noises are mainly controlled by the ASE noises of the amplifiers. In the actual DWDM system, the different EDFA gain might cause different output power per channel and different EDFA noise coefficient. Therefore, in designing, OSNR of the worst channel should be considered to stretch the working limits.

A.4 Other Effects


The above three factors should be considered in DWDM networking. In addition, many other factors might affect system performance, such as SBS (Stimulated Brillouin Scattering), SRS (Stimulated Raman Scattering), SPM (Self Phase Modulation), XPM (ex-Phase Modulation), FWM (Four-Wave Mixing), PMD (Polarized Mode Dispersion) and PDL (Polarization Dependent Loss). The effect of these parameters on the system is not significant and is not considered in network designing. But in case of some unusual system response, these parameters should be checked carefully.

B.1 FEC

Technology Introduction

The optical wavelength conversion units have FEC (Forward Error Correction) function or EFEC (Enhanced FEC) function. In fact, the FEC technology is the error correction technology. The OTU adopts Reed-Solomon Coding. It can correct eight bytes error at most in any location per 255 bytes, and has a fairly powerful capability of error correction. Due to redundancy codes added, the digital rate is increased. All FEC employed in the OptiX BWS 1600G is in compliance with ITU-T G.709 or G.975 recommendation and support the processing of overhead comply with ITU-T G.709 recommendation. The EFEC technology, compared with FEC, adopts much more predominant encoding/decoding technology. Two-degree encoding/decoding can evenly distribute the burst error code, and enable much more powerful error correction capability. The FEC function can improve the OSNR budget of the DWDM transmission system and increase the transmission distance. In addition, the FEC function can reduce bit error rate in line transmission, and alleviate the bad effects on the signal transmission quality caused by the aging components or deterioration of fiber performance, thereby improving the communication quality of the DWDM transmission network.

B.2 SuperWDM
1. Introduction

SuperWDM is a transmission solution provided by Huawei DWDM products for long-haul application. Super CRZ encoding is the core technology for SuperWDM solution. It inherits all the features of RZ encoding and is enhanced with a unique phase modulation capability. Therefore, the Super CRZ encoding is capable of effectively suppressing the non-linear effects in transmission and improving the noise tolerance capability. With the SuperWDM technology, the OptiX BWS 1600G achieves ultra long haul transmission in the absence of Raman amplification. Compared to NRZ encoding, Super CRZ encoding widens its spectrum thus effectively suppressing the non-linear effects in ultra long haul transmission. As a result, the linear transmission distance of the DWDM system without REG is greatly extended to 2000 km.
2. Features

Improve the optical noise tolerance capability, increasing the receivers OSNR tolerance by 3 dB (compared to NRZ encoding). Effectively reduce the non-linear effects due to its adequate spectrum width and special phase modulation technology. Improve the transmission performance due to excellent clock jitter performance and higher extinction ratio. The application of SuperWDM technology in the system requires excellent dispersion management.

B.3 Raman Amplification


Raman amplifier is an important application of SRS (Stimulated Raman Scattering). Quartz fiber has a very broad SRS gain spectrum. It has a broad peak near the frequency of 13 THz. If a weak signal and a strong pump light are transmitted in the fiber simultaneously, and their frequency difference is within the range of Raman gain spectrum, the weak signal beam can be amplified. The gain spectrum of fiber Raman amplifier is shown in the Figure B-1.

B Technology Introduction

Note: Counter pumping means the pump light is injected at the fiber end and the direction is opposite to the main signals. This kind of pumping achieves a big phase difference between the main signals and the pump light. And the Raman pump power vibration is leveled in the direction reserved to signal transmission, thus effectively suppressing the noise created by pump.
