METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MULTIPLEXING DATA FOR TRANSMISSION

摘要

There is provided a method and system for multiplexing data for transmission over a communication link having a plurality of communication channels. The proposed multiplexing method finds application in access networks over WDM optical fibre links. The multiplexing method provides a dynamic reconfiguration of the WDM channels such that one of or any combination of the WDM channels may be assigned to one client at one time. This allocation is dynamically reconfigured by the network as a function of a level of priority of the data packets to be transmitted. This allows multiple wavelengths of a WDM optical fibre link to be considered as a single high capacity unified channel. This technology can be used over ring, mesh, linear or point-to-multi-points telecommunication infrastructures.
