Abstract

The disclosure discloses a Generic Mapping Procedure (GMP) mapping method for an Optical channel Data Unit (ODU), including: caching low-level ODUk data to a memory according to the rate of low-level ODUk data stream; generating an adjustment byte in a mapping process and encoding the adjustment byte; generating read enable of the cached data by an algorithm according to the adjustment byte, reading the cached low-level ODUk data, and generating Optical channel Data Tributary Unit (ODTU) data according to the read data; and crossing a time slot of the ODTU data in multiple channels to that of a high-level ODU payload, and forming the data in the time slot of the high-level ODU payload and the encoded adjustment byte into a completed high-level ODU frame. The disclosure may further provide a GMP mapping apparatus for an ODU. According to a technical solution of the disclosure, the GMP mapping of the ODU can be implemented according to the dynamic change of a service rate.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A Generic Mapping Procedure (GMP) mapping method for an Optical channel Data Unit (ODU), comprising:
caching low-level ODUk data to a memory according to a rate of low-level ODUk data stream, and generating an adjustment byte in a mapping process and encoding the adjustment byte;
generating read enable of the cached data by an algorithm according to the adjustment byte, reading the cached low-level ODUk data, and generating Optical channel Data Tributary Unit (ODTU) data according to the read data; and
crossing a time slot of the ODTU data in multiple channels to a time slot of a high-level ODU payload, and forming data in the time slot of the high-level ODU payload and the encoded adjustment byte into a completed high-level ODU frame.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the caching low-level ODUk data to a memory according to a rate of low-level ODUk data stream comprises:
de-multiplexing low-level ODUk data stream at various rates according to a rate and a principle of different data paths of a same rate, and writing the low-level ODUk data in a same data path into the de-multiplexed low-level ODUk data to a same memory, so as to cache the low-level ODUk data.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the generating an adjustment byte in a mapping process comprises:
automatically calculating a size of data of n bits in a multiframe for an input client signal to obtain Cn, where n is calculated automatically according to a rate of the input client signal; and
calculating adjustment bytes Cm and Cnd; obtaining Cm by adding a remainder of Cn/m in a last frame to the Cn currently calculated to obtain a sum and then dividing the sum by m to obtain a quotient, and taking an integer of the quotient to obtain an value which is Cm; obtaining Cnd by adding a remainder of Cn/m in a last frame to the Cn currently calculated to obtain a sum, dividing the sum by m to obtain a quotient, and obtaining a remainder which is Cnd after taking an integer of the quotient; wherein m is equal to a value obtained after an integer of n/8 is taken.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the encoding the adjustment byte comprises:
multiplexing Cm and Cnd in multiple paths and encoding the adjustment bytes Cm and Cnd, wherein a multiplexing principle is that a control path where a last time slot of a high-level ODU occupied by a current service is identical with an Optical Channel Payload Unit Multi-frame Identifier (OMFI) is selected to encode the adjustment bytes in the control path.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the reading the cached low-level ODUk data and generating ODTU data according to the read data comprises:
reading pre-cached low-level ODUk data from the memory by the read enable of the cached data, sequencing the read low-level ODUk data in a descending order of m, taking the sequenced low-level ODUk data as valid data of the ODTU data, and filling invalid data of the ODTU data with 0 to generate ODTU data.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the crossing a time slot of the ODTU data in multiple channels to a time slot of a high-level ODU payload comprises:
performing time slot crossing on the generated ODTU data in the multiple channels by a 16-classification method, and crossing the time slot of the ODTU data in the multiple channels to the time slot of the high-level ODU payload.

7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the 16-classification method comprises:
classifying ODUk data stream at a rate of 1-80 time slots into 16 types when lossless switching is ensured for a service, and mapping the 16 types separately, wherein the classification is carried out according to a principle of classifying those with an identical path number into one type.

8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the principle of classifying those with an identical path number into one type is that:
if the number of time slots occupied by a rate is L, an integer of a quotient of 80/L is a path number, wherein L is in a range of 1-80, and rates of L corresponding to a same value belong to one type after the integer of 80/L is taken.

9. A Generic Mapping Procedure (GMP) mapping apparatus for an Optical channel Data Unit (ODU), comprising:
a processing unit, which is configured to cache low-level ODUk data to a memory according to a rate of low-level ODUk data stream;
a memory, which is configured to cache the low-level ODUk data;
a first generation unit, which is configured to generate an adjustment byte in a mapping process during operation of the processing unit;
an encoding unit, which is configured to encode the adjustment byte;
a calculation unit, which is configured to generate read enable of the cached data by an algorithm according to the adjustment byte;
a second generation unit, which is configured to read the cached low-level ODUk data according to the read enable of the cached data, and generate ODTU data according to the read data;
a time slot crossing unit, which is configured to cross a time slot of the ODTU data in multiple channels to a time slot of a high-level ODU payload; and
a framing unit, which is configured to form data in the time slot of the high-level ODU payload and the encoded adjustment byte into a complete high-level ODU frame.
