COMMUNICATION CONTROL DEVICE, COMMUNICATION CONTROL SYSTEM, COMMUNICATION CONTROL METHOD AND COMMUNICATION CONTROL PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18037072 titled 'COMMUNICATION CONTROL DEVICE, COMMUNICATION CONTROL SYSTEM, COMMUNICATION CONTROL METHOD AND COMMUNICATION CONTROL PROGRAM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a communication control device and method that aims to improve band utilization efficiency. It introduces a system that suppresses the detection of link failures in order to prevent a decrease in transmission efficiency.

  • The communication control device includes an OLT server, which is responsible for controlling communication between ONUs and the OLT.
  • The device includes a transmission time storage unit that stores the transmission time of optical signals between each ONU and the OLT.
  • An optical transmission control unit generates control information to control the start and end of optical signal transmission in each ONU.
  • A failure detection suppression unit calculates the time at which the reception of an optical signal from an ONU ends using control information and transmission time.
  • The unit also calculates the time at which synchronization processing ends after the reception of the optical signal from the next ONU starts.
  • The failure detection suppression unit instructs the failure detection unit in the OLT to suppress the detection of a link failure between the first and second calculated times.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Telecommunication networks: This technology can be applied in the management and control of optical communication networks, improving the efficiency of data transmission.
  • Internet service providers: ISPs can benefit from this technology by optimizing the utilization of their network resources, leading to improved service quality for their customers.
  • Data centers: This innovation can be implemented in data centers to enhance the efficiency and reliability of data transmission within the facility.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Bandwidth optimization: By suppressing the detection of link failures, the system prevents unnecessary interruptions in data transmission, leading to improved band utilization efficiency.
  • Transmission efficiency: The technology ensures that synchronization processing is completed before the next optical signal transmission, reducing delays and improving overall transmission efficiency.
  • Network reliability: By suppressing false link failure detections, the system enhances the reliability of the communication network, reducing unnecessary maintenance and troubleshooting efforts.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved band utilization efficiency: By avoiding unnecessary interruptions, the system maximizes the utilization of available bandwidth, leading to improved data transmission speeds.
  • Enhanced network reliability: The suppression of false link failure detections reduces unnecessary network downtime and maintenance, improving the overall reliability of the communication network.
  • Optimal resource allocation: By optimizing the utilization of network resources, the technology allows for better allocation of resources, resulting in improved service quality for end-users.


Original Abstract Submitted

Provided are a communication control device, a communication control system, a communication control method, and a communication control program that make it difficult to reduce band utilization efficiency. In an OLT server that is a communication control device, a transmission time storage unit stores a transmission time of an optical signal between each ONU and OLT . An optical transmission control unit generates control information for controlling transmission start and transmission end of optical signals in each ONU . A failure detection suppression unit calculates a first time at which the reception of the optical signal from an ONU ends using control information and a transmission time. The failure detection suppression unit calculates a second time at which synchronization processing ends after the reception of the optical signal from an ONU that transmits the optical signal next after the ONU is started using the synchronization time until the synchronization processing acquired by a synchronization time acquisition unit ends. The failure detection suppression unit causes the failure detection unit that detects a link failure in an OLT to suppress detection of a link failure from the first time to the second time.
