Optical Management System (OMS)

It can provide multiple network management functions, including element management, service provisioning, service assurance and customer service management. It can provide seamless, end-to-end network management of an entire transport network and reduce the need for manual intervention in managing networks.

Optical Network Management System (ONMS) increases workforce productivity and facilitates the management of fiber optic networks with fewer technicians through fiber remote testing and accurate fiber plant documentation. The system accurately detects and locates fiber degradation, alerting operators and managers with the details of faults. Measurement schedules allow network operators to assess long term fiber performance to form the basis of efficient asset management.

Origin of Optical Network

Telecommunication Networks build using various communication media

- Twisted pair copper wire
- Coaxial cable
- Wireless (Radio, microwave, satellite, infrared)
- Optical fiber


Optical Fiber - Properties


Advantages of Optical Fiber

- Large Bandwidth-distance product
- immunity to noise and intereference
- very low cost per unit bandwidth
- easy upgradability using WDM technology
- Tapping of signal from fiber without being detected - difficult

Disadvantages of Optical Fiber

- Optical fiber Networks have high capacity
- Can be used for providing the high bandwidth services
- Even in wireless, infrared means high bandwidth connectivity

Broadcast Optical Networks

- Optical fiber Networks have high capacity
- Can be used for providing the high bandwidth services
- Even in wireless, infrared means high bandwidth connectivity

In Broadcast Networks,
-Bandwidth of single channel - shared by all the users
-Media access using media access control protocols
-MAC protocols need to consider
-The network is high speed
-High speed network - packet transmission time
-comparable to packet propagation time


To use the available bandwidth
,
- Wavelength division multiple access (WDMA)
- Time division multiple access (TDMA)
- Code division multiple access (CDMA)


Optical TDMA ,CDMA implementations

- need very short pulses (can be generated by mode locked lasers).

- Time division multiplexers/ demultiplexer requires very tight tolerance of fiber length (due to tight timing requirments).
- Encoder and decoders will require again very tight tolerance in fiber length used for delay lines.
- Dispersion - need to be taken care of WDMA.


Media access control protocols for multiple channels classification based on tunability
- Fixed transmitter fixed receivers (FTFR)
- Tunable transmitter fixed receivers (TTFR)
- Fixed transmitter tunable receiver (FTTR)
- Tunable transmitter tunable receiver (TTTR)


Strong similarity with switching networks.Virtual Topology is built over broadcast medium

Some other multihop topologies investigated in literature

- Hypercube
- Manhatten street Network ( Torus)
- Dual bus
- Ring

For MAC protocols with tunable component proposed solutions generally use
- Scheduling - a schedule for transmission and reception on the basis of statistics is computed
  periodically by centralized or distributed algorithms and used for coordination.
- Pretransmission coordination using dedicated channel

Switched Network
- Uses Optical Switches
- Classified as circuit switched or packet switched .commercially emphasis on circuit switched all-optical networks
- due to near term feasibility
- also known as wavelength routed networks
These network can be used to provide virtual topology to be used by SDH,ATM or directly by IP layer.

Issues
- Estimation of condition when the reconfiguration is needed
  (will be done by IP layer)
- Management algorithms for optical layer to work with limited
  wavelength.
- Fault Management in Optical Layer

Other exciting things in optical Networks
- Switching techniques and architectures
- Networks architectures using devices and phenomenon based on optical nonlinearity
- Multiwavelength soliton networks
