TRANSMISSION METHOD, SYSTEM AND APPARATUS OF OVERHEAD INFORMATION

摘要

A method for sending overhead information includes: encoding customer information into a 64B/66B customer information code block; encoding configured overhead information into a 64B/66B code block, and marking the code block as an overhead code block; and sending the customer information code block and the overhead code block, where M of every N sent code blocks are overhead code blocks (M and N are positive integers and M is smaller than N). A method for receiving overhead information includes: receiving the 64B/66B code block; identifying the overhead code block according to an identifier of the overhead code block and extracting overhead information from the overhead code block; and decoding the customer information code blocks other than the overhead code blocks and obtaining the customer information. Through the foregoing methods, fixed bandwidth of the overhead information is ensured, and the OAM information transmission performance is improved.
