Patent number: 10250348Abstract: In the optical transport system a transport frame generator divides a transport frame accommodating plural client signals into plural transmission signals. Subcarrier transmission units convert the signals into optical signals using different optical carriers and transmit the converted optical signals. Subcarrier reception units receive the transmitted optical signals and convert the optical signals into reception signals. A transport frame termination unit combines the reception signals to restore the transport frame. A time-demultiplexing processor time-demultiplexes the restored transport frame to be separated into the client signals. A time slot control unit determines a new time slot allocation when time-multiplexing the client signals in the transport frame and stops supply of electric power to a subcarrier transmission unit and a subcarrier reception unit that transmit and receive an optical signal to which the client signals are not allocated.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2015Date of Patent: April 2, 2019Assignee: NIPPON TELEGRAPH AND TELEPHONE CORPORATIONInventors: Yoshiaki Yamada, Kengo Shintaku, Takuya Ohara, Kei Kitamura, Takashi Kotanigawa, Takafumi Hamano, Kaoru Arai, Masahiro Yokota, Hideki Maeda
