MULTIPLEX TRANSMISSION SYSTEM, RESOURCE CONTROL METHOD FOR MULTIPLEX TRANSMISSION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18028631 titled 'MULTIPLEX TRANSMISSION SYSTEM, RESOURCE CONTROL METHOD FOR MULTIPLEX TRANSMISSION SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a multiplex transmission system that can handle failures while minimizing resource wastage.

  • The system includes two multiplex transmission apparatuses, a resource pool, and a management control unit.
  • The resource pool contains resources that can be used to construct different functions.
  • The management control unit controls the resource pool.
  • During normal operation, each client port in the first multiplex transmission apparatus has a function constructed in the resource pool.
  • In the event of a failure, the management control unit releases a resource associated with a low-priority port and constructs a function needed to restore signal transmission for a high-priority port.


Original Abstract Submitted

Provided is a multiplex transmission system capable of achieving a redundant configuration for coping with a failure while reducing useless resources. A multiplex transmission system includes a first multiplex transmission apparatus 100, a second multiplex transmission apparatus 200, a resource pool 130 having resources capable of selectively constructing one or more functions among a plurality of functions, and a management control unit 140 for controlling the resource pool 130. The first multiplex transmission apparatus 100 includes a plurality of client ports. During normal time, a function associated with each of the plurality of client ports is constructed in the resource pool 130. When a failure occurs, the management control unit 140 controls the resource pool 130 so as to release a resource in which is constructed a function associated with a port with a low priority among the plurality of client ports and to construct, in the resource, a function necessary for restoring signal transmission associated with a port with a high priority among the plurality of client ports.
