Abstract
Description
- This invention relates generally to optical communication systems and, more particularly, to a terrestrial optical communication system that utilizes a hybrid optical/electrical cable to remotely power nodes that have no local electrical power thereat.
- Terrestrial systems typically include terminals (usually located at central offices) and remotely located repeater sites or nodes housing optical amplifiers and/or regenerators. These repeater nodes are electrically powered using locally provided commercial power.
- Recently unusual network configurations have been proposed that include one or more repeater nodes that have no access to locally provided commercial electrical power. At some of these locations solar power is sufficient to locally provide the electrical power needed at a repeater node. At other repeater node locations where solar power is insufficient, the only viable alternative is generator power, which requires periodic refueling by means of a fuel truck. This method of powering a repeater node is exceedingly expensive.
- What is desired is a less expensive, yet reliable, arrangement for providing electrical power to repeater nodes that have no access to locally provided commercial electrical power.
- In accordance with the present invention, a terrestrial optical communication system including a plurality of optical nodes interconnected by optical links utilizes a hybrid optical/electrical cable to provide electrical power from one or more powered system nodes to one or more remote un-powered nodes that have no access to locally provided electrical power.
- More specifically according to my invention, a terrestrial optical communication system provides optical communications over a plurality of optical nodes interconnected by optical links, the system comprising
- at least one powered node connected over a first hybrid optical/electrical cable link to a remote node, said at least one powered node having electrical power thereat;
- said remote node being an un-powered node having no local electrical power thereat; and
- said first hybrid optical/electrical cable link including an optical cable to provide optical communications between said at least one powered node and said remote un-powered node and an electrical cable to provide electrical power from said at least one powered node to said remote un-powered node.
- According to one feature, the nodes of the terrestrial optical communication system may be interconnected in one of plurality of network arrangements including a linear node network, a ring node network, or a mesh node network. In another feature, a remote un-powered node may include apparatus selected from a group including a repeater, a regenerator, or an amplifier. One system arrangement enables two nodes to power one un-powered node and another system arrangement enables a powered node to power two or more un-powered nodes.
- The present invention will be more fully appreciated by consideration of the following Detailed Description, which should be read in light of the accompanying drawing in which:
FIG. 1 illustrates a block diagram of a linear terrestrial optical communication network.FIG. 2 illustrates a block diagram of a ring terrestrial optical communication network.FIG. 3 illustrates a block diagram of a mesh terrestrial optical communication network.- In the following description, identical element designations in different figures represent identical elements. Additionally in the element designations, the first digit refers to the figure in which that element is first located (e.g.,101 is first located in
FIG. 1 ). FIG. 1 illustrates a generalized block diagram of a point-to-point terrestrial optical communication network (also referred to herein as a linear network) including a hybrid optical/electrical cable to remotely power nodes that have no locally provided electrical power. While a hybrid optical/electrical cable has been used in undersea applications where both end terminals are used to power all of the submerged system nodes (repeaters or amplifiers) of a point-to-point (or linear) network, such a technique has not been used in terrestrial systems to power a subset of remote system nodes that have no locally provided electrical power. InFIG. 1 , an illustrative section of a point-to-point terrestrial optical communication network, which does not include the end terminals, is shown to include a plurality ofoptical nodes link - With reference to node P1, the locally provided electrical power is V1+ powers the electrical apparatus, E, and also is connected over
electrical cable 123 to power electrical apparatus, E, of node N1. In this manner node N1, which has no locally available electrical power, receives power from node P1 to operate the electrical apparatus, E, at node N1. The power path extends from a power source V1+ at node P1, throughelectrical cable 123, electrical apparatus E, and through the electrical ground return path at node N1 back to V1+ power source at node P1. Node P1 is also shown as providing power V1+ overelectrical cable 113 to another node, not shown. If that other node did not require power than there would not be a connection betweenelectrical cable 113 and V1+. As shown, one powered node P1 can power one or more un-powered nodes. Thus unlike the undersea systems, where both end terminals are used to powered all un-powered system nodes, the present invention can use a single powered node, e.g., P1, to power one (e.g., N1) or more (the “another node” powered by electrical cable113) un-powered nodes. - Note that since node P2 has its own source of power V2+, it does not need to receive power from node P1, via node N1, and, hence,
electrical cable 133 is not connected at nodes P1 and N1. In such an arrangement, since theelectrical cable 133 is not used, the hybrid optical/electrical cable link 131 that interconnects nodes N1 and P2 could be replaced with just anoptical cable 132. Thus, a hybrid optical/electrical cable link is needed only to interconnect a node with electrical power, e.g., P1, to a node with no electrical power, e.g., N1. - According to another aspect of my invention, a node, e.g., N2, which has no locally available electrical power, may also be powered from two nodes, e.g., P2 and P3. As shown, a power source V2+ at node P2 provides electrical power over
electrical cable 143, through electrical apparatus E at node N2, andelectrical cable 153, to power source V2− at node P3. Such a serial powering arrangement would supply essentially 2V2 volts across electrical apparatus E at node N2. - Note if another un-powered node (N2A, not shown) were located between node N2 and node P3, its electrical apparatus E could be powered in series with the electrical apparatus E of node N2. In such an arrangement, the essentially 2V2 volts would be applied across the serial connection of the two electrical apparatuses E of nodes N2 and N2A. Thus, if the two electrical apparatuses E required the same voltage, they would share the 2V2 volts and each would have V2 volts applied to them. Note, since nodes N2 and N2A are connected in series these nodes need not provide a ground return path. Node P3 is shown to apply V3+ volts to its electrical apparatus E. Node P3 is also shown as not providing any power over
electrical cable 163 to an adjacent node. If required, node P3 could also power an adjacent node viaelectrical cable 163. - With reference to
FIG. 2 , there is shown a terrestrial optical communication system arranged as a ring node network. The ring network includes nodes P1, N1, P2, N2, N2A, P3, and N1A, which are all shown interconnected by hybrid optical/electrical cable links. All of these nodes are implemented using the optical O, and electrical, E, apparatuses described forFIG. 1 . Again the nodes identified with a P have locally provided electrical power and the node identified by N have no locally provided electrical power. Node P1 provides electrical power V1+ in parallel to node N1 viaelectrical cable 201 and to node N1A viaelectrical cable 202. Power is provided serially to nodes N2 and N2A as follows. Voltage V2+ at node P2 is sent throughelectrical cable 204 to node N2, and via electrical cable205 to node N2A and then viaelectrical cable 206 to node P3 where it connects to the V2− source. Note, since nodes N2 and N2A are connected in series these nodes need not provide a return ground path. Note also that since node N1 receives power from node P1, theelectrical cable 203 between nodes N1 and P2 does not carry power. Thus,electrical cable 203 is not connected and can be eliminated. Thus, if desirable the hybrid optical/electrical cable link between nodes N1A and P2 can be replaced by a link that only an optical cable. Similarly, since theelectrical cable 207 between nodes P3 and N1 does not carry power, it is not connected and can be eliminated. Thus, if desirable the hybrid optical/electrical cable links between nodes P3 and N1 can be replaced by a link including only an optical cable. Thus, hybrid optical/electrical cable links are needed only for the segments having electrical cables that carry power, i.e.,201,202,204-206. - With reference to
FIG. 3 , there is shown a terrestrial optical communication system arranged as a mesh node network. The mesh network includes nodes P1, N1, N1A, P2, N2, N2A, and P3, which are all shown interconnected by hybrid optical/electrical cable links. Again the nodes identified with a P have locally provided electrical power and the nodes identified by N have no locally provided electrical power. Node P1 provides electrical power V1+ to node N1 viaelectrical cable 301 and provides power to node N1A viaelectrical cable 302. Power is provided serially to nodes N2 and N2A as follows. Voltage V2+ at node P2 is sent through electrical cable303 to node N2, and viaelectrical cable 304 to node N2A and then viaelectrical cable 305 to node P3 where it connects to the V2− source. Note, since nodes N2 and N2A are powered in series these nodes need not provide a return ground path. Also note that the electrical cables306-310 do not carry power between their respective nodes and, hence, these electrical cables306-310 can be eliminated. Thus, if desirable the hybrid optical/electrical cable links that include the electrical cables306-310 can be replaced with links that only include optical cables. Hence hybrid optical/electrical cables are required only for the links that include electrical cables301-305 that carry electrical power to un-powered nodes. - What has been described is illustrative of the present invention. Various modifications of our invention will occur to those skilled in the art. Nevertheless all deviations from the specific teachings of this specification that basically rely upon the principles and their equivalents are properly considered within the scope of the invention as described and claimed.
