COMMUNICATION METHOD AND RELATED DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18489235 titled 'COMMUNICATION METHOD AND RELATED DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract of this patent application describes a method involving an optical head end and an optical terminal. The optical head end first establishes a correspondence between a slave station device identifier and a slave station node identifier. Then, it receives a message from the optical terminal containing device information, including a device identifier indicating a slave station connected to the terminal. The optical head end uses the established correspondence to determine the corresponding node identifier for the device identifier and sends it back to the optical terminal.
- The patent application involves a method for establishing and utilizing correspondences between device identifiers and node identifiers in an optical network.
- The optical head end is responsible for determining the correspondences and exchanging information with the optical terminal.
- The optical terminal sends device information, including a device identifier, to the optical head end.
- The optical head end uses the established correspondences to determine the corresponding node identifier for the device identifier.
- The determined node identifier is then sent back to the optical terminal.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Optical network management and control systems.
- Communication networks utilizing optical terminals and head ends.
- Industrial automation systems requiring efficient device identification and communication.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Efficient and accurate identification of devices connected to an optical terminal.
- Simplified management and control of an optical network.
- Streamlined communication between optical terminals and head ends.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved efficiency in managing and controlling optical networks.
- Enhanced accuracy in device identification and communication.
- Simplified setup and configuration of optical network devices.
Original Abstract Submitted
In a method, an optical head end first determines a first correspondence, where the first correspondence indicates a correspondence between a slave station device identifier and a slave station node identifier. Then the optical head end receives a first message from an optical terminal, where the first message includes device information, the device information includes a first device identifier, and the first device identifier indicates a first slave station connected to the optical terminal. Then, the optical head end determines, from the first correspondence, a first node identifier corresponding to the first device identifier. Further, the optical head end sends the first node identifier to the optical terminal.
