In an example, the OAM information transmission method of the mobile fronthaul may further include: configuring a first emission wavelength and a first reception wavelength; adding the first emission wavelength and the first reception wavelength to the first OAM information Add the first OAM information to the first Ethernet frame and send it to the sending-side device through the OAM channel; receive the second Ethernet frame fed back by the sending-side device through the OAM channel; The second Ethernet frame acquires second OAM information; in the case where it is determined that the wavelength tuning of the transmitting-side device is successful according to the second OAM information, the first lock flag is used to update the wavelength lock flag; otherwise, the second lock flag is used Update the wavelength lock flag, and return to perform the operation of configuring the first transmission wavelength and the first reception wavelength.

The color light modules in the transmitting side equipment and the receiving side equipment of the mobile fronthaul are both tunable optical modules. FIG. 12 is a schematic diagram of the effect of wavelength adaptation of the transmitting side device provided by this application. In an example, as shown in FIG. 12, the receiving side device DU can manually configure the first transmitting wavelength λ1 and the first receiving wavelength λ2 through the network management. , And insert the first transmission wavelength λ1 and the first reception wavelength λ2 into the first Ethernet frame in the form of the first OAM information and send them to the transmitting-side device AAU. The first receiving wavelength λ2 is a wavelength that needs to be configured by the AAU on the transmitting side. The transmitting-side device AAU receives the first Ethernet frame sent by the receiving-side device DU, analyzes the first OAM information, tunes its own wavelength according to the tuning step, and sets the second transmission wavelength λ3 and the second reception wavelength λ4 is inserted into the second Ethernet frame in the form of second OAM information and fed back to the receiving device DU. The second transmission wavelength λ3 is equal to the first reception wavelength λ2, and the second reception wavelength λ4 is equal to the first transmission wavelength λ1.

Since it is unlikely that the wavelength tuning can be achieved in one step, the actual transmission wavelength of the transmitting-side device AAU after wavelength tuning may not necessarily be the first receiving wavelength λ2. After the receiving-side device DU receives the second Ethernet frame fed back by the transmitting-side device AAU, it decodes the second OAM information and determines that the second transmission wavelength λ3 is equal to the first reception wavelength λ2, and the second reception wavelength λ4 is equal to the first transmission wavelength. When λ1, it means that the port of the transmitting-side device AAU matches the port of the receiving-side device DU, that is, the fiber connection is paired. However, when the wavelength actually received by the receiving device DU is not equal to the first receiving wavelength λ2, it means that the wavelength tuning of the port paired by the transmitting device AAU has not been successful. At this time, the wavelength lock flag bit of the receiving device DU is updated to 0, and the sending The AAU on the side device continues to perform wavelength tuning according to the step length, and so on, until the actual wavelength received by the device on the transmitting side AAU is equal to the first receiving wavelength λ2. At this time, it indicates that the wavelength of the port paired by the device on the transmitting side AAU is successfully tuned, and the receiving side is updated. The wavelength lock flag bit of the device DU is 1. Through the above method of transmitting OAM information, the purpose of AAU wavelength self-adaptation of the transmitting side device can be realized, and at the same time, the wrong connection of the fiber can be prevented.

In an example, the OAM information transmission method of the mobile fronthaul may further include: determining the source of the fault when it is determined that the sending-side device performs loopback processing, and the receiving-side device sends to the receiving-side device and the receiving link is unblocked In the wireless device; in the case where it is determined that the sending-side device performs loopback processing, and the receiving-side device sends to the receiving-side device, the receiving link is not clear, determine that the fault originates from the wired device.

In the embodiment of this application, as shown in Figure 13, when the OAM Block of the AAU on the sending side performs loopback processing and the DU sending to DU receiving link is unblocked, the receiving side device can determine that the fault comes from the wireless device; if The link between DU transmission and DU reception is unavailable, and the receiving device can determine that the fault is from the wired device.

In an example, the determining that the fault originates from a wired device may include: transmitting to the optical multiplexing unit OMU and optical demultiplexing unit ODU in the mobile fronthaul through an OTDR (Optical Time Domain Reflectometer, OTDR) Light; when it is determined that the OTDR receives the light looped back by the OMU, it is determined that the fault originates from the optical module device; when it is determined that the OTDR does not receive the light looped back by the OMU, the source of the fault is determined Yuguang line.

You can locate the fault through the OTDR. FIG. 17 is a schematic diagram of an OTDR loopback effect provided by this application. As shown in FIG. 17, the light emitted by the OTDR passes through the OMU and the ODU and loops back from the OMU, and the OTDR detects the loopback condition. If it is determined that the OTDR receives the light that is looped back by the OMU, it is determined that the link is smooth, indicating that the optical line is not faulty, and the fault originates from the optical module device. If the OTDR does not receive the light looped back by the OMU, it is determined that the link is not smooth, indicating that the fault originates from the optical line.

In an example, the OAM information may include an OAM identification header, a performance field, an alarm field, a wavelength field, and a maintenance function field; wherein, the performance field includes input optical power, output optical power, laser bias current, internal module At least one of temperature, error code statistics, and error packet statistics; the warning field includes input no light warning indication, input low light warning indication, input strong light warning indication, output no light warning indication, output low light warning indication, At least one of output strong light alarm indication, excessive bias current alarm indication, module temperature over-limit alarm indication, local connection failure alarm indication, remote connection failure alarm indication, connection failure alarm indication and synchronization loss alarm indication; The wavelength field includes at least one of a module transmitting wavelength and a module receiving wavelength; the maintenance function field includes at least one of a wavelength lock flag and a link loopback switch.

As shown in Figure 14, OAM information may include but is not limited to OAM identification header, performance field, alarm field, wavelength field, and maintenance function field. As shown in Figure 15, OAM information can include, but is not limited to, 1-byte input optical power, 1-byte output optical power, 1-byte laser bias current, 1-byte module internal temperature, 1-bit input no-light alarm indication, 1 bit input low light alarm indicator, 1 bit input strong light alarm indicator, 1 bit output no light alarm indicator, 1 bit output low light alarm indicator, 1 bit output strong light alarm indicator, 1 bit bias current excessive alarm indicator, 1-bit module temperature limit alarm indication, 7-bit module transmit wavelength, 7-bit module receive wavelength, 1-bit wavelength lock mark, 1-bit link loopback switch, 2-byte Bip error statistics, 2-byte error packet Statistics, 1-bit connection local failure warning indication, 1-bit connection remote failure warning indication, 1-bit connection failure warning indication, and 1-bit synchronization loss warning indication. Input optical power, output optical power, laser bias current, module internal temperature, Bip error statistics, error packet statistics are used to monitor the performance of the transmitting side equipment, that is, the passive WDM side equipment; the module transmitting wavelength and the module receiving wavelength are used for transmitting The side device is the flexible management of the wavelength of the passive WDM side module; the input/output is no light, weak light, strong light, the internal temperature of the module exceeds the limit, the bias current is too large, the local connection failure/remote failure, the connection failure, the synchronization loss It is used for the alarm monitoring of the transmitting side equipment, that is, the passive WDM side equipment. The wavelength lock mark is used to update the results of the wavelength negotiation between the receiving side equipment and the transmitting side equipment. The link loopback switch is used for the transmitting side equipment OAM Block loopback. , The role is to locate the fault, that is, locate whether the fault comes from a wireless device or a wired device.

For input and output optical power, laser bias current, module internal temperature, Bip error statistics and error packet statistics, etc., as well as input/output no light, weak light, strong light alarms, module temperature limit alarms, bias currents For alarms such as oversized alarm, local connection failure alarm, remote connection failure alarm, connection failure alarm, and synchronization loss, the sending side device encapsulates the above OAM information into an Ethernet frame and sends it to the receiving side device. The receiving side device parses the Ethernet frame to obtain OAM information, and can obtain related information of the sending side device according to these performance and alarms, so as to grasp the device status of the sending side device. Once the receiving-side device determines that an abnormal situation occurs according to the received OAM information, corresponding countermeasures can be taken in advance, so as to achieve flexible management of the sending-side device.

The following exemplarily describes the transmission of OAM information through the OAM channel based on the sending-side device and the receiving-side device.

In an example, FIG. 18 is a schematic diagram of an Ethernet processing module on the receiving side provided by this application. As shown in FIG. 18, the Evolved Common Public Radio Interface (eCPRI) ( Fronthaul network transmission interface standard) 25 Gigabit Ethernet (25GE) signals are first processed by the PMD layer and PMA layer, and then sent to the FEC layer. The FEC layer receives the data from the PMA layer, and passes the CWM alignment and FEC. After decoding, descrambling and transcoding from 256b/257b to 64b/66b, the data is distributed to the PCS layer; after the PCS layer processes the received data through block synchronization and descrambling, data in units of 64b/66b is obtained The stream is then decoded by 64b/66b, and sent to the Reconciliation Sublay-er (RS) through the 25 Gigabit Medium Independent Interface (25GMII). Get the MAC packet. The device on the sending side can insert an OAM packet at the interval between two MAC packets according to a fixed period. The OAM packet can be encapsulated in the form of a MAC packet, and the first byte of the preamble can be added with an identification code that is different from other MAC packets. 0x6d. Finally, the transmitting-side device AAU then sends the MAC layer signal encapsulated with the OAM packet through the RS, PCS, FEC, PMA, and PMD layer processing.

After receiving the Ethernet signal from the AAU side, the receiving-side device DU obtains a serial MAC packet after decapsulating at various levels of PMD, PMA, FEC, PCS, and RS. For the MAC packet, the OAM packet is found by searching whether the first byte of the preamble is the identification code 0x6d, and the performance, alarm, wavelength, and maintenance function fields in the OAM packet are analyzed to obtain the device status of the AAU on the sending side. For example, for the status of the optical module, determine whether the optical module is faulty according to the performance field and the alarm field in the OAM information, and whether the direct connection between the optical module and the optical fiber is normal. If an abnormality is found, the optical module and the optical fiber can be replaced in advance. For another example, through the wavelength field in the OAM information, the function of performing wavelength negotiation with the sending-side device AAU can be achieved. For another example, by parsing the maintenance function field in the OAM information, it can be used for functions such as wavelength negotiation handshake and fault location.

In an example, FIG. 19 is a schematic diagram of the process of decapsulating Ethernet data from the receiving side to the PCS layer provided by this application. As shown in FIG. 19, the 100GE Ethernet signal of the transmitting side device AAU first passes through the PMD layer and PMA. After layer processing, it is sent to the FEC layer. The FEC layer receives the data from the PMA layer. After CWM alignment, FEC decoding, descrambling, and 256b/257b to 64b/66b transcoding, the data is distributed to the PCS layer. After the data is distributed to the PCS layer, the AM block of the first channel is searched according to a fixed cycle after block synchronization. FIG. 20 is a schematic diagram of a 100GBASE-R AM encoding provided by this application, and the encoding value of the AM block is shown in FIG. 20. After the AM block is searched, the OAM block is inserted after the AM block. In order to distinguish the OAM block from the data block and other control blocks, the inserted OAM block has a special OAM identification header, that is, the block type field after 64b/66b encoding is unique, such as 0x6d. Then the PCS layer scrambling, distribution processing, FEC, PMA, PMD processing to send out the Ethernet signal.

After receiving the Ethernet signal from the transmitting device AAU, the receiving device DU obtains the PCS layer signal after decapsulation at various levels of PMD, PMA, and FEC, and then undergoes block synchronization and alignment lock processing. After the receiving device DU performs alignment and locking, it finds the AM block of the first channel, searches for the OAM block by the block type value "0x6d", and analyzes the performance, alarm, wavelength, maintenance function and other fields in the OAM block to obtain the sender device AAU The condition of the equipment. For example, for the status of the optical module, determine whether the optical module is faulty according to the performance field and alarm field in the OAM information, and whether the direct connection between the optical module and the optical fiber is normal. If an abnormality is found, the optical module and optical fiber can be replaced in advance. For another example, through the wavelength field in the OAM information, the function of performing wavelength negotiation with the sending-side device AAU can be achieved. For another example, by parsing the maintenance function field in the OAM information, it can be used for functions such as wavelength negotiation handshake and fault location.

In an example, the eCPRI (25GE) Ethernet signal of the sending-side device AAU is first processed by the PMD layer and the PMA layer, and then sent to the FEC layer. The FEC layer first undergoes codeword markers synchronization and channel rearrangement processing. Then search for the CWM block of the first channel. FIG. 21 is a schematic diagram of a 25 Gigabit Ethernet code sub-mark (25GBASE-R CWM) encoding provided by this application, and the encoding value of the CWM block is shown in FIG. 21. After searching for the CWM block, the transmitting-side device AAU inserts an OAM frame after the CWM block according to the insertion period of the CWM block. An OAM frame includes one or more OAM blocks. Then the Ethernet signal is sent out through scrambling, distribution processing, PMA and PMD processing.

After receiving the Ethernet signal sent by the transmitting device AAU, the receiving device DU obtains the FEC layer signal after decapsulation at each level of PMD and PMA, and then synchronizes with the Codeword marker, and finds it after the second alignment mark CWM is locked The CWM of the first channel parses the OAM information behind the CWM, such as the performance field, the alarm field, the wavelength field, and the maintenance function field. According to the analysis of these fields, the device status of the sending-side device AAU is obtained.

To sum up, on the basis of not needing to increase the AAU management plane of the transmitting side device, through the transmission of OAM packets or OAM blocks, the AAU management of the transmitting side device can be better achieved, and the fault can be effectively located. That is, the passive part only needs simple processing such as loopback and marking for OAM Block. The OAM information defines the link loopback switch, wavelength lock mark, over-limit alarms for optical power, current, and internal temperature of the module, etc., through the marks of these fields, for example, the field value is "1" or "0", and pass In the transmission of OAM information, the receiving-side device DU can better grasp the device status of the sending-side device AAU and the information interaction between the receiving-side device DU and the sending-side device AAU. Since the computing power and processing power of the passive part is far weaker than the active part, and the functions that require strong computing power and processing power such as delay and time synchronization are placed outside the passive device (that is, the active part) to complete Yes, so the passive part does not need to perform all the processing involved in the OAM information. That is, although the passive part adds some OAM processing, the burden caused by it is relatively small, which greatly reduces the complexity of the hardware circuit.
