Abstract

A data processing method, a communications device, and a communications system, where in a process of transmitting a packet service, a code block stream carrying the packet service is first obtained, then, rate adaptation is performed on the obtained code block stream, and finally, the rate-adapted code block stream is mapped to an optical channel payload unit (OPU) signal. Compared with a mapping manner in which a Generic Framing Procedure (GFP) is used, the data processing method, the communications device, and the communications system feature low processing complexity and/or high bandwidth utilization.

First claim

1 . A data processing method, optical transport network (OTN), comprising:
obtaining, by an optical device, a code block stream a packet service; performing, by the optical device, rate adaptation on the obtained code block stream; and mapping, by the optical device, the rate-adapted code block stream to an optical channel payload unit (OPU) signal.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein performing the rate adaptation on the obtained code block stream comprises at least one of inserting an idle code block into the obtained code block stream, wherein the idle code block comprises an idle code block type indicator, wherein the idle code block does not carry the packet service, and wherein a quantity of to-be-mapped code blocks in the rate-adapted code block stream within each OPU frame period is equal to a preset value (C m ).

3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein mapping, the rate-adapted code block stream to the OPU signal comprises:
mapping C m code blocks to one OPU frame within each OPU frame period; and inserting the C m into an overhead of the corresponding OPU frames, and wherein the C m comprises a quantity of to-be mapped code blocks in the rate-adapted code block stream.

4 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein mapping, the rate-adapted code block stream to the OPU signal comprises mapping the rate-adapted code block stream to the OPU signal according to a fixed mapping pattern.

5 . The method according to claim 2 , wherein inserting the idle code block into the obtained code block stream comprises inserting the idle code block between a T code block and an S code block that are adjacent in the obtained code block stream, wherein the idle code block further carries at least one of a packet service port number or a packet service type indicator, wherein the T code block indicates a code block comprising a packet service end character, and wherein the S code block indicates a code block a packet service start character.

6 . The method according to claim 5 , wherein the obtained code block stream comprises a sixty-four-bit to sixty-six-bit (64B/66B) code block stream, and wherein a code block type field of the idle code block comprises 0x1e.

7 . The method according to claim 2 , wherein the obtained code block stream comprises a sixty-four-bit to sixty-six-bit (64B/66B) code block stream, wherein a code block type field of the idle code block comprises 0x88, wherein inserting the idle code block into the obtained code block stream comprises inserting the idle code block into a first position of the obtained code block stream, and wherein the first position comprises any position in the obtained code block stream.

9 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein performing the rate adaptation on the obtained code block stream comprises deleting some or all of idle code blocks in the obtained code block stream, wherein the idle code block comprises an idle code block type indicator, and wherein the idle code block does not carry the packet service.

10 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein performing the rate adaptation on the obtained code block stream comprises performing code block conversion on the code block stream into which an idle code block is inserted, wherein the code block conversion comprises compressing a two-bit synchronization header of each code block into one bit, wherein a code block comprises a control code block when the one bit is filled with one, and wherein the code block comprises a data code block when the one bit is filled with zero.

11 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein mapping the rate-adapted code block stream to the OPU signal comprises filling a payload type (PT) indicator field of the OPU signal with 0x1D to indicate that the rate-adapted code block stream is directly mapped.

12 . A communications device, comprising:
a memory comprising instructions; and a processor coupled to the memory, wherein the instructions cause the processor to be configured to:
obtain a code block stream carrying a packet service;
perform rate adaptation on the obtained code block stream; and
map the rate-adapted code block stream to an optical channel payload unit (OPU) signal.

13 . The communications device according to claim 12 , wherein when performing the rate adaptation on the obtained code block stream, the instructions further cause the processor to be configured to insert an idle code block into the obtained code block stream, wherein the idle code block comprises an idle code block type indicator, wherein the idle code block does not carry the packet service, and wherein a quantity of to be mapped code blocks in the rate-adapted code block stream within each OPU frame period is equal to a preset value (C m ).

14 . The communications device according to claim 12 , wherein when performing the rate adaptation on the obtained code block stream, the instruction further cause the processor to be configured to delete some or all of idle code blocks in the obtained code block stream, wherein an idle code block comprises an idle code block type indicator, wherein the idle code block does not carry the packet service, and wherein a quantity of to-be-mapped code blocks in the rate-adapted code block stream within each OPU frame period is equal to a preset value (C m ).

15 . The communications device according to claim 12 , wherein when mapping the rate-adapted code block stream to the OPU signal, the instructions further cause the processor to be configured to:
map C m code blocks to one OPU frame within each OPU frame period according to a fixed mapping pattern; and insert C m into an overhead of the corresponding OPU frame, wherein the C m comprises a quantity of to-be-mapped code blocks in the rate-adapted code block stream.

16 . The communications device according to claim 13 , wherein the obtained code block stream comprises a sixty-four-bit to sixty-six-bit (64B/66B) code block stream, wherein a code block type field of the idle code block comprises 0x88, wherein when inserting the idle code block into the obtained code block stream, the instructions further cause the processor to be configured to insert the idle code block into a first position of the obtained code block stream, and wherein the first position comprises any position in the obtained code block stream.
