Abstract: Traffic is conveyed in a communications network by a homogeneous transport network from edge nodes located at edges of the homogeneous transport network to at least one processing center (D-center, C-center) located at an edge of the homogeneous transport network. The at least one processing center processes the traffic and controls and forwards traffic to be further conveyed to the edge nodes.

Abstract: A method and a device for processing data in a communication network, wherein a first node is served by a second node and communicates with a third node.

Abstract: A method for processing traffic in an optical network. The optical network includes a transport network with a first fiber and a second fiber, wherein traffic over the first and second fibers is conveyed in opposite directions. A first traffic is branched off from the first fiber towards an optical entity and the first traffic is processed at the optical entity. A second traffic is fed from the optical entity onto the second fiber. There is also described a corresponding optical network.

Abstract: A receiver is provided for a quadrature-modulated signal, which can be divided into an inphase signal and a quadrature signal. The inphase signal is fed to first and third equalizers, and the quadrature signal is fed to second and fourth equalizers, wherein the first and second equalizers each perform a first equalization of the respective signal. An output of the first equalizer is connected to a second input of the fourth equalizer, which, by means of a second equalization of the quadrature signal, transmits an equalized quadrature signal as a function of the previously fed equalized inphase signal of the first equalizer. An output of the second equalizer is connected to the second input of the third equalizer, which, through a second equalization of the inphase signal, transmits an equalized inphase signal as a function of the previously fed equalized quadrature signal of the second equalizer.

Abstract: Two data signals are subjected to a binary differential phase modulation and transmitted as POLMUX multiplex signals. The types of modulation are selected in such a way that they are orthogonal in relation to each other and do not influence each other during the demodulation of the signals. There is thus no need to regulate the polarization on the receiving side.

Abstract: The invention relates to a receiver for a quadrature-modulated signal, which can be divided into an inphase signal (I) and a quadrature signal (Q).

An output of the first equalizer (EZ1) is connected to a second input of the fourth equalizer (EZ4), which, by means of a second equalization of the quadrature signal (Q), transmits an equalized quadrature signal (Q2) as a function of the previously fed equalized inphase signal (II) of the first equalizer (EZ1).
