Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is an optical transmission device for transmitting and receiving a multilevel-modulated optical signal, including: a plurality of transmission frame processors ( 212 to 214, 222 to 224 ) for generating transmission frame signals accommodating a plurality of client signals that are each subjected to error correction processing and scrambling/descrambling processing; and a digital modulator/demodulator ( 215 ) for mapping the transmission frame signals that are input to and output from the plurality of transmission frame processors to a multilevel signal and performing digital modulation/demodulation, in which the plurality of transmission frame processors each have a function of shifting a phase of a pattern between a plurality of transmission frames to be mapped to a multilevel signal and be digitally modulated/demodulated.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . An optical transmission device for transmitting and receiving a multilevel-modulated optical signal, comprising: a plurality of transmission frame processors for generating transmission frame signals accommodating a plurality of client signals that are each subjected to error correction processing and scrambling/descrambling processing; and a digital modulator/demodulator for mapping the transmission frame signals that are input to and output from the plurality of transmission frame processors to a multilevel signal and performing digital modulation/demodulation, wherein the plurality of transmission frame processors each have a function of shifting a phase of a pattern between a plurality of transmission frames to be mapped to a multilevel signal and be digitally modulated/demodulated. 2 . An optical transmission device according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of transmission frame processors each comprise a memory for shifting a phase of each of the plurality of client signals, and perform the error correction processing and the scrambling/descrambling processing on the each of the plurality of client signals whose phase is shifted by the memory, to thereby shift the phase of the pattern between the plurality of transmission frames to be mapped to the multilevel signal and be digitally modulated/demodulated. 3 . An optical transmission device according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of transmission frame processors each change a seed value for generating a pseudo-random pattern in the scrambling/descrambling processing, to thereby shift the phase of the pattern between the plurality of transmission frames to be mapped to the multilevel signal and be digitally modulated/demodulated.
