Patent number: 11362894Abstract: When separate service apparatuses that provide various communication services to users are connected by a wiring with communication functional units interposed, if there is a wiring abnormality, the location of the abnormality is easily identified. When a wiring connection is completed between separated service apparatuses X and Y that provide various communication services to user terminals 31 and 32 with communication functional units A1 and B2 interposed, a wiring management system 10A includes a transmission network management apparatus 14A that identifies a wiring abnormality. The transmission network management apparatus 14A associates endpoint names of the service apparatuses X and Y and of the functional units A1 and B2 with opposite endpoint names on the opposite sides, defines opposite endpoint IDs of the endpoints of the functional units A1 and B2 as expected values, and saves the end points in association with the opposite endpoint IDs in a DB 14b.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2019Date of Patent: June 14, 2022Assignee: Nippon Telegraph and Telephone CorporationInventors: Yoshihiko Uematsu, Hiroshi Yamamoto, Hiroki Kawahara, Katsuhiro Araya, Toshiyuki Oka

Patent number: 11265628Abstract: [PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED] To uninterruptedly change a band of an optical transmission path in a line IF section, which relays a signal transmitted to an optical transmission path in a client IF section to which a communication terminal is connected, to the same band as a changed band in the client IF section without suspending the communication in the line IF section. [SOLUTION] An optical transmission system 10A performs processing for changing a band of an optical fiber 15 in a line IF section (L section) that relays a signal from an optical fiber 12 in a client IF section (C section) to the same band as that in the C section.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2019Date of Patent: March 1, 2022Assignee: Nippon Telegraph and Telephone CorporationInventors: Katsuhiro Araya, Yoshihiko Uematsu, Toshiyuki Oka, Hiroki Kawahara, Hiroshi Yamamoto

Patent number: 11251877Abstract: [Problem] It is possible to cancel out beat noises in a WDM signal to obtain a high-quality signal component, and a configuration thereof is achieved with low mounting costs. [Solution] An optical reception device converts a WDM signal rs(t) of an optical signal to electrical signals d(t)1 to d(t)n expressed as complex numbers of orthogonal phases, cancels out beat noises from the electrical signals, and then demodulates the signals to obtain signals D1 to Dn of a transmission source.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2019Date of Patent: February 15, 2022Assignee: Nippon Telegraph and Telephone CorporationInventors: Hiroki Kawahara, Hiroshi Yamamoto, Katsuhiro Araya, Yoshihiko Uematsu, Toshiyuki Oka

Patent number: 6598092Abstract: In a trunk transmission network for transmitting information signals between nodes via paths, flexible path operation is achieved by setting up paths between source nodes and destination nodes after pre-classifying paths into a higher service class in which any loss of information occurring in that path is made good restored; and a lower service class which permits loss of information to occur in the path. The flexible operation is further achieved by arranging for each node, when it acts as a source node, to recognize the service class of the information signal it is sending to a destination node, and to select a path corresponding to that service class.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2000Date of Patent: July 22, 2003Assignee: Nippon Telegraph & Telephone CorporationInventors: Masahito Tomizawa, Shinji Matsuoka, Yoshihiko Uematsu

Patent number: 6034974Abstract: The invention has the object of offering a channel-selection-type demultiplexing circuit which is capable of interchanging the time slots of demultiplexed signals when demultiplexing ultra-high-speed multi-channel multiplexed signal stream without expanding the scale of the circuits, and does not require the scale of the circuits to be expanded even if the speed of the transmission path increases. The invention is a channel-selection-type demultiplexing circuit capable of demultiplexing signals to a desired output port during bit demultiplexing, instead of simply demultiplexing the bits as in conventional devices, which performs bit demultiplexing based on a frequency division clock after selecting the bit signals to be demultiplexed to the desired output port from the N-channel multiplexed signal stream based on channel selection information.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 1997Date of Patent: March 7, 2000Assignee: Nippon Telegraph and Telephone CorporationInventors: Shinji Matsuoka, Yoshihiko Uematsu, Masahito Tomizawa

Patent number: 5751720Abstract: A pointer processor for use in an SDH/SONET transmission system, realizing a proper VC path management. A pointer interpreter constantly monitors 3X pairs of H1 and H2 bytes to contain a prescribed maximum size pointer AU-4-Xc that can possibly be received by the pointer processor, to obtain and hold an inside AU-size map indicating an occupation state of AU pointers on 3X pairs of H1 and H2 bytes, while generating and holding an assigned AU-size map indicating an assigned state of AU pointers on 3X pairs of H1 and H2 bytes according to an externally set AU pointer size, and compares these two AU-size maps.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 1996Date of Patent: May 12, 1998Assignee: Nippon Telegraph and Telephone CorporationInventors: Yoshihiko Uematsu, Shinji Matsuoka

Patent number: 5631896Abstract: A hitless path switching method without a bit loss. The same digital line signals on a working path and a protection path are continuously monitored independently for bit errors. If a bit error occurs in the working path and no bit error occurs in the protection path, a switching trigger is produced and a switching operation from the working path to the protection path is performed on a data block basis. Only correct data are transferred to downstream apparatuses. Reliable hitless switching is achieved not only in response to a failure in a path, but also in response to a bit error. Using data blocks of one frame length with an indicator for bit error checking placed at its beginning or top makes effective switching possible.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 1995Date of Patent: May 20, 1997Assignee: Nippon Telegraph and Telephone CorporationInventors: Nobuyuki Kawase, Yoshiaki Yamabayashi, Yoshihiko Uematsu
