Product Overview

4 System Architecture

System Architecture

The OptiX OSN 9800 uses the L0 + L1 + L2 architecture. Wavelength multiplexing/


demultiplexing and add/drop is implemented at Layer 0, ODUk/VC service grooming is
implemented at Layer 1 and ethernet/MPLS-TP switching is implemented at Layer 2.

The equipment supports a tributary-line-separate architecture and a centralized crossconnect unit to flexibly groom electrical-layer signals at different granularities.

Universal line board is used to process electrical-layer signals, and the board can achieve
universal transmission and fine-grained grooming of OTN, VC and packet services.

General service processing board provides the functions of both OTN tributary and line
boards, and each port on the board can be set to the tributary port or line port mode.

The PIU power supply pools, 1+1 SCC/CTU and M:N XCS have a redundancy
protection design and ensure highly-reliable equipment operation.

6.1 Beyond 100G Transmission Application


By using the cutting-edge coherent detection technology, the OptiX OSN 9800 compensates
for chromatic dispersion (CD) and polarization mode dispersion (PMD) without requiring
additional dispersion compensation modules (DCMs) in pure beyond 100G coherent
networks.
Line boards supporting the beyond 100 Gbit/s transmission solution: N401P, N402P, N501
and N601.
Figure 6-1 shows a typical application of the beyond 100 Gbit/s transmission solution.
Figure 6-1 Typical application of the beyond 100 Gbit/s transmission solution

The unique technical advantages of Huawei's coherent beyond 100 Gbit/s transmission
solution allow for high bandwidth utilization and long-haul transmission.

High Bandwidth Utilization


Huawei 100 Gbit/s transmission solution provides various service types and data rates and
supports the ODUflex technology to ensure high bandwidth utilization and reduce the
transmission cost per bit.
l

Various service types and data rates are supported and carried over 200G transmission
channels.

Optical-layer spectral width: 200G and 400G signals are compatible with traditional
signals with 50 GHz spectral width. Compared with 100G signals, 200G and 400G
signals have improved the spectral efficiency by 100%. In addition, 200G and 400G
signals support flexible grid wavelengths and has higher spectrum utilization than the
systems using fixed spectrum.

Electrical-layer grooming: ODUflex technology provides flexible bandwidth adjustment


and grooming.

Long-Haul Transmission
Using the 16QAM/QPSK technology, multi-carrier light source technology, and coherent
DSP/SDFEC algorithm, Huawei beyond 100 Gbit/s transmission solution achieves long-haul
transmission without regeneration.

16QAM/QPSK
Together with the dual-carrier technology, 16QAM/QPSK reduces the baud rate of
optical signals without reducing the line rate, therefore reducing the spectral width of
optical signals and overcoming the bandwidth limitations of transmission devices.

Coherent detection
This technology provides for a better OSNR and receiver sensitivity than those in a noncoherent system.

FEC technology
Huawei coherent transmission solutions support SDFEC schemes. Using advanced
algorithms, Huawei coherent solutions offer higher net coding gain and thus extends the
transmission distance.

6.2 100G Transmission Application


The OptiX OSN 9800 provides 40/80 x 100 Gbit/s transmission solution. By using the cutting
edge coherent detection technology, the OptiX OSN 9800 compensates for chromatic
dispersion (CD) and polarization mode dispersion (PMD) without requiring additional
dispersion compensation modules (DCMs) in pure 100G coherent networks.
The boards supporting the 100 Gbit/s transmission solution: N401, N402, LSC, LTX.
Figure 6-2 shows a typical application of the 100 Gbit/s transmission solution.
Figure 6-2 Typical application of the 100 Gbit/s transmission solution

The unique technical advantages of Huawei's coherent 100 Gbit/s transmission solution allow
for ultra long-haul transmission, simplified network structure, high bandwidth utilization, and
Low Latency.

Ultra-Long-Haul Transmission
Huawei coherent transmission solution uses multiple technologies, such as ePDM+QPSK/
ePDM+BPSK modulation, coherent detection/second-generation coherent detection, FEC and
Hybrid OA, to achieve ultra-long-haul (ULH) transmission without electrical regeneration.

cross-connections. Bandwidth sharing, to the maximum extent, ensures high bandwidth


utilization and reduces the transmission cost per bit.
Figure 6-5 High Bandwidth Utilization of Coherent Transmission System

Low Latency
Due to low latency, Huawei coherent transmission equipment is especially suitable for
transport networks providing dedicated transport pipes for various business services, such as
financial, data center application, and cloud computing that allow for very low latency.
l

Huawei advanced FEC technology provides optimal net coding gain while introducing
extremely low latency.

Huawei coherent boards are equipped with DSP chips, which have superior performance
in CD and PMD compensation. Therefore, DCMs are no longer required in new 100G/
200G/400G networks, which not only reduces the network construction cost but also
eliminates the latency of the DCMs.

6.3 OTN + ROADM Application


The OTN + ROADM feature cross-connects a client service in any optical direction while
ensuring high bandwidth utilization.
Figure 6-6 illustrates how OTN and ROADM effectively transmit client services.
l

A tributary board receives client services at any bit rate. After OTN mapping and ODUk
cross-connection are complete, the client signals are flexibly cross-connected on the
electrical layer and share bandwidth. A line board then outputs the signals over different
wavelengths.

Along the optical cross-connections on the ROADM board, the signals over different
wavelengths can be transmitted in any optical direction.

If the signals in an optical direction do not need to be locally terminated, they can be
directly transmitted to another optical direction through the optical cross-connections on
the ROADM board.

6.4 Flexible ROADM Application


In the beyond 100G system, flexible ROADM supports flexible grid bandwidth grooming in
addition to the 50 GHz and 100 GHz bandwidth grooming supported by traditional ROADM.
In other words, flexible ROADM supports flexible allocation and grooming of n x 12.5 GHz
bandwidth.
The beyond 100G system requires more flexible spectrum allocation for high-rate optical
signals and different bandwidths for signals in different modulation formats. The current
ROADM technology uses the fixed grid technique, in which the bandwidth is fixed to 50 or
100 GHz. Hence, this technique cannot provide flexible bandwidth allocation.
Flexible ROADM uses the flexible grid technique to allocate different bandwidths for
different signals, improving spectrum utilization and addressing the flexible signal grooming
requirements of future beyond 100G systems.
Flexible ROADM is compatible with existing networks and supports fixed 50 GHz and 100
GHz bandwidth defined in ITU-T Recommendations.
Figure 6-7 shows the networking of an example 2-degree flexible ROADM. Flexible grid
wavelengths are received, and the bandwidth of the wavelengths is not fixed to 50 or 100 GHz
but can be configured. Flexible ROADM allocates different bandwidths for different signals
and grooms the signals to the specified direction based on network configurations.

Photonics integrated device (PID) helps to effectively eliminate bandwidth and O&M
bottlenecks on a WAN, leveraging the features such as large capacity, high integration,
versatile multi-service access, small size, and environment-friendly design.
On a WAN, a 200G/400G aggregation ring based on PID boards (NP400 and NP400E) only is
recommended, eliminating commissioning while enabling quick service provision. At the
OTN aggregation layer, 13 to 20 aggregation rings can be deployed with two to four NEs in
each ring. A PID board(s) is used on each NE's line side. Build a 200G/400G network using
PID groups as required. Figure 6-8 shows the details.

Figure 6-8 Typical application

In Figure 6-8, service 1 is received through the client-side tributary board and is converted
into an ODUk signal. Then the ODUk signal is cross-connected to the PID board by the crossconnect board and is finally converted into an OTUC2 optical signal before it is sent to the
east direction on the WDM side. Service 2 is received by the west PID board. After the
OTUC2-to-ODUk conversion is performed, the signal is cross-connected to the east PID
board by the cross-connect board. After the ODUk-to-OTUC2 conversion, the signal is sent to
the east direction on the WDM side.

6.6 Redundancy and Protection


This topic describes network- and equipment-level protection supported by the OptiX OSN
9800.

6.6.1 Network-Level Protection (OTN)

9800.
Table 6-1 Network-level protection schemes (OTN)
Protection
Scheme

Description

Client 1+1
protection

Protects services against faults on optical transponder units (OTUs) and


OCh fiber disconnections using the dual feeding and selective receiving
function of the OLP/DCP/QCP board.

Intra-board
1+1 protection

Protects OCh fibers using diverse routing and the dual feeding and
selective receiving function of OLP/DCP/QCP board.

LPT

Detects and reports faults at the service access points and on intermediate
networks. It also helps data communication equipment, such as routers,
switch to the backup network in a timely manner. By doing so, normal
transmission of important services can be remained even when the link is
faulty.

Optical Line
Protection

It uses the dual fed and selective receiving function of the OLP board to
protect line fibers between adjacent stations by using diverse routing.

ODUk SNCP

Protects services against line board faults and OCh fiber disconnections
using the dual feeding and selective receiving function of electrical-layer
cross-connections. The OptiX OSN 9800 supports ODUk SNCP
protection.

Tributary
SNCP

Protects SDH/SONET or OTN services that a tributary board receives


using the dual feeding and selective receiving function of electrical-layer
cross-connections.

SW SNCP
Protection

In the case of the OptiX OSN 9800, SW SNCP uses intra-board crossconnections on the TOM board to implement the dual fed and selective
receiving function. In this manner, SW SNCP protects the TOM OCh
fiber. The cross-connect granularity is GE or Any service.

6.6.2 Network Level Protection (Packet)


The Huawei WDM equipment provides a series of network-level Ethernet protection schemes
for packet-based transmissions, including such as pseudo-wire automatic protection switching
(PW APS), Tunnel APS, and link aggregation group (LAG).
The OptiX OSN 9800 provides various types of network level protection (packet), as listed in

Table 6-2 Network Level Protection (Packet)


Protection

Description

ERPS

Ethernet ring protection switching (ERPS) is applicable to ring physical


networks. ERPS protects Ethernet services on an Ethernet ring network.

LAG

The LAG aggregates multiple physical links to form a logical link that is
at a higher rate. Link aggregation functions between adjacent equipment.
Hence, link aggregation is not related to the architecture of the entire
network. Link aggregation is also called port aggregation because each
link corresponds to a port on an Ethernet.

MC-LAG

Multi-chassis link aggregation group (MC-LAG) allows links of multiple


NEs to be aggregated to form a link aggregation group (LAG). When a
link or an NE fails, MC-LAG automatically switches services to another
available link in the same LAG.

LMSP

The Linear Multiplex Section Protection (LMSP) scheme is applicable to


a point-to-point physical network, providing MS-layer protection for the
service between two points.

MC-LMSP

The multi-chassis linear multiplex section protection (MC-LMSP)


supports that the working channel and protection channel of the LMSP
are configured on different devices to achieve protection for AC-side
links between devices.

MRPS

Currently, transmission systems usually adopt ring topologies. MPLS-TP


ring protection switching (MRPS) implements rapid protection switching
in link/node failures and therefore ensures high service quality.

PW APS

As network-level protection, PW APS uses a protection PW to protect the


working PW, and helps prevent service interruptions resulting from the
working PW failure.

MC-PW APS

Multi-chassis PW APS (MC-PW APS) supports configuration of the


working and protection PWs on different devices to implement interdevice PW protection.

Tunnel APS

As a network protection scheme, tunnel APS uses a protection tunnel to


protect the working tunnel and prevent service interruptions in case of the
working tunnel failures. Tunnel APS is available in two types: Tunnel
APS 1:1 and 1+1.

6.6.3 Network Level Protection (OCS)


The Huawei WDM equipment supports a series of OCS-based network-level protection
schemes, including linear multiplex section protection (LMSP) and subnetwork connection
protection (SNCP).
The OptiX OSN 9800 provides various types of network level protection (OCS), as listed in

Description

ALS

After the automatic laser shutdown (ALS) function is enabled on a tributary or


line board, the board shuts down the laser in the transmit direction when it
receives no optical signals from the upstream board. The board re-enables the
laser when it receives optical signals. This function prevents injuries caused by
lasers and prolongs the life of a laser by decreasing the working time of the
laser.

Description

AGC

The automatic gain control (AGC) function ensures that channel gain is not
affected when wavelengths are added or dropped or when there is optical power
fluctuation in the WDM system. This function guarantees normal service
running in the WDM system.

ALC

Optical fiber aging, optical connector aging, multiple wavelengths added or


dropped simultaneously or other optical power changes are factors that may lead
to abnormal loss on the line. When this occurs, line loss is changed, the optical
signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) of the system is degraded. To minimize such
influence, the automatic level control (ALC) function automatically adjusts the
output power of optical amplifiers in the link according to the line loss change.
When the line loss changes, the output power of it will remain unchanged.

APE

The automatic power equilibrium (APE) function automatically detects and


adjusts the optical power along channels on WDM-side ports to ensure the
required channel optical power flatness. If the channel optical power varies and
flatness is not maintained to a specified requirement, the OSNR of the optical
transmission line will deteriorate, which will degrade and possibly interrupt the
communication.

IPA

Optical amplifiers (OAs) output high optical power. If a fiber connecting to an


OA is cut, the OA keeps emitting light with high optical power if the laser on the
amplifier is not shut down. The intense light at the open fiber may cause injuries
to maintenance personnel during fiber maintenance. To prevent personal
injuries, the intelligent power adjustment (IPA) function shuts down lasers on
the affected OAs when a fiber cut occurs.

IPA of
Raman
system

The LINE optical port on the CRPC board outputs high-power pump light. To
prevent injuries associated with lasers, especially eye damage caused by laser
radiation, the IPA function shuts down lasers on Raman amplifiers when a line
fault occurs.

6.8 ASON Feature


Automatically switched optical network (ASON) is a new generation of the optical
transmission network. The ASON software developed by Huawei can be applied to the OptiX
OSN equipment to enable the evolution from a legacy transmission network to an ASON
network. Such evolution complies with the ITU and IETF ASON/GMPLS-related standards.
ASON enhances the network connection management and recovery capabilities by
introducing signaling to the transmission network and providing a control plane. It enables the
system to provide wavelength-level ASON services at the optical layer and ODUk level
ASON services at the electrical layer, and also achieves end-to-end service configuration and
service level agreement (SLA). As shown in the Figure 6-9, in a mesh network, a service
from the source node A to the sink node G can be transmitted along three paths: D1 (A-B-FG), D2 (A-D-G), and D3 (A-E-H-G). If a fault occurs between nodes A and B, or if the D1
path is unavailable, the service can be sent to the sink node along path D2 or D3 using ASON
techniques.

In addition to fault diagnosis, traditional optical time domain reflectometers (OTDRs) can be
used to measure the fiber length, attenuation introduced in fiber transmission, and fiber
connector attenuation. OTDRs are therefore widely used in the fiber engineering and network
deployment phases.
Figure 7-3 Schematic diagram of the OTDR detection application

Fiber performance testing is classified into acceptance testing and maintenance testing based
on the test implementation phase. Acceptance testing is performed when links are offline.
With the wide application of fibers, maintenance testing has become a vital and usual part of
the process. Regularly performed maintenance testing helps detect the fiber performance in a
network in a timely manner. If traditional OTDRs are used to perform fiber performance
testing, the testing needs to be performed on site and services need to be interrupted.
Online fiber status detection methods that can achieve remote, online, accurate, and quick
fiber status detection are necessary to improve maintenance efficiency and reduce
maintenance costs.

Line Fiber Quality Monitoring Function of the FD System


Using built-in probe lasers on the TN12RAU1, TN12RAU2, TN11SRAU, TN51RPC, or

Networking Scenarios of the Line Fiber Quality Monitoring Function


Based on the actual hardware configurations, the FD system can implement line fiber quality
monitoring in two-fiber bidirectional and single-fiber bidirectional networking scenarios.
Table 7-3 show the typical networking scenarios.
NOTE

l The TN12ST2 board can be connected to an FIU, OLSP or OLSPA/OLSPB board.


l The FIU board connected to a TN12ST2 board and its peer FIU board must be TN13FIU03, TN16FIU01,
or TN11SFIU01.
l The OLSP board connected to a TN12ST2 board and its peer OLSP board must be TN11OLSP01. The
OLSP board is used in the two-fiber bidirectional transmission scenario.
l The OLSPA/OLSPB board connected to the TN12ST2 board and the peer OLSPA/OLSPB board can be
only TN11OLSPA01 or TN11OLSPB01, and TN11OLSPA and TN11OLSPB boards must be used in
pairs. For example, if TN11OLSPA01 is used at one end of a fiber, TN11OLSPB01 must be used at the
other end of the fiber. The OLSPA/OLSPB board is used in the single-fiber bidirectional transmission
scenario.
l On a short fiber span, a fixed optical attenuator (FOA) needs to be added so that the fiber insertion loss is
greater than 15 dB, preventing a receiver overload issue. For a TN12ST2 board, the fixed optical
attenuator (FOA) can be configured only on the RM1 or RM2 port of the board rather than the TMn or
TXn port of other OSC boards.

NEs between sites A and F are interconnected with fibers and exchange information
over ESC/OSC channels using the HWECC protocol.

Some NEs at certain site (such as, NEs at site B) are interconnected with network
cables (usually when optical and electrical NEs are separate), and exchange
information over Ethernet channels (provided by NM ports on the CTU boards)
using the HWECC protocol.

NEs at sites A and C are designated as gateway NEs (GNEs) and are connected to
an external data communication network (DCN) through a switch or router to
achieve communication with the NMS. All the other NEs are designated as nonGNEs and communicate with the NMS through a GNE.

Intra-NE communication: On each optical NE at sites A to F, the master and slave


subracks implement intra-NE communication.
