9、 Assembly (Montreal, 27 September 6 October 2000).ii ITU-T G.975 (10/2000)FOREWORDThe International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field oftelecommunications. The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ ofITU. ITU-T is

10、responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendationson them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis.The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years,establishes the topics for study by the

11、 ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on thesetopics.The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1.In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards areprepared on a collaborative

12、 basis with ISO and IEC.NOTEIn this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both atelecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency.INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTSITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of t

13、his Recommendation mayinvolve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no position concerning the evidence,validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or othersoutside of the Recommendation development process.As of the date o

14、f approval of this Recommendation, ITU had received notice of intellectual property,protected by patents, which may be required to implement this Recommendation. However, implementors arecautioned that this may not represent the latest information and are therefore strongly urged to consult theTSB p

19、implementation of a Forward ErrorCorrection (FEC) function in the multigigabit-per-second optical fibre submarine cable systems. Theapplications being addressed in this Recommendation are both optically amplified repeateredsystems and repeaterless optical systems (ITU-T G.973 3). The use of this FEC

20、 function insubmarine terminal transmission equipments (TTEs) should not be considered as mandatory.It is not the intention of this Recommendation to pursue the transverse compatibility of the system.Therefore the selection of the FEC frame structures described in this Recommendation is a matter ofj

21、oint engineering.The transmission data rates under consideration in this Recommendation are 2.5 Gbit/s STM-16(ITU-T G.707 1) and integer multiples of 2.5 Gbit/s (interleaved STM-16 tributaries).Clause 5 presents the main features of the FEC function implemented in the submarine systems, andin partic

22、ular the error monitoring facility.Clause 6 provides the definition of the forward error correction algorithm to be used, which is aReed-Solomon code, and gives guidelines for the implementation of this algorithm in the submarineTerminal Transmission Equipments (TTEs).Clause 7 is dedicated to the me

23、asurement of the performance of this Reed-Solomon code and theexpected gain on the optical transmission power budget.2 ReferencesThe following ITU-T Recommendations and other references contain provisions which, throughreference in this text, constitute provisions of this Recommendation.

29、les of the FEC functionThe FEC function defined in this Recommendation works on the STM-16 basis. When M (M integerdifferent from 0) STM-16 signals are interleaved to achieve M 2.5 Gbit/s transmission data rates,the encoding is performed before the interleaving of the M STM-16 tributaries and the de

30、coding isperformed after the de-interleaving of the optical line signal.The FEC function essentially comprises: a FEC encoder in the transmit Terminal Transmission Equipment (TTE) that acceptsinformation bits and adds computed redundant symbols, producing encoded data at a higherbit rate; a FEC deco

31、der in the receive Terminal Transmission Equipment (TTE) that performs theerror correction while extracting the redundancy to regenerate the data that was encoded bythe FEC encoder.Figure 1 outlines the fact that the encoding and decoding procedures are performed at the TerminalTransmission Equipmen

Thistechnique, implemented on the 2.5 Gbit/s optical fibre submarine cable systems, puts theerror correcting

35、 capacity to bursts of 1024 bits maximal length, for 16 interleaved codecs.In addition, the Reed-Solomon codes remain among the most efficient codes which can beimplemented using the state-of-the-art hardware and software technology.6.4 FEC frame structureAnother FEC frame structure (Optional) is gi

36、ven in Appendix I for information.6.4.1 FEC encoder and FEC decoder architecturesIn order to enhance the immunity of the optical fibre submarine cable system to burst errors, severalRS(255,239) codes can be interleaved. In Figures 2 and 3, (n) denotes the interleaving order (n is anon-zero integer).

37、Given the interleaving to depth “n“ of RS(255,239) codes, the architectures of both the FEC encoderand the FEC decoder are detailed in Figures 2 and 3 respectively.6 ITU-T G.975 (10/2000)1/n1/81/81/8n/18/18/18/1888888T1520660-96STM-16at 2.5 Gbit/sFEC frameat 2.66 Gbit/sMultiplexersubframe (8 n)subfr

In addition, the same digital multiplexers and the same digitaldemultiplexers are used for both the FEC encoder and the FEC decoder.Due to the fact that each elementary Reed-Solomon algorithm process byte information andtherefore works on 8 parallel data stream, the demultiple

44、e of the Reed-Solomon algorithms, the sequence of STM-16 data bits within the FEC frameis identical to that within the STM-16 input signal.8 ITU-T G.975 (10/2000)6.4.2 Framing structureA framing structure is added in the FEC frame to possibly insert a FEC frame alignment word,which is required to pe

45、rform the synchronization of the FEC frame with the FEC decoder structure atthe receive Terminal Transmission Equipment (TTE).The remaining spare bits can be used for carrying tributary markers, order wire channels or servicechannels.The FEC frame presented in 6.4.1 can be divided into (8 n) 255 bit

46、s long subframe. Each subframe(see Figure 5) contains the following information: bit 1 of each subframe carries the framing structure either the FEC Frame Alignment Word,the tributary markers for STM-16 data stream identification in systems carrying multiples ofSTM-16 (if required) or order wire cha

47、nnels or service channels for inter-terminalcommunication; bits 2 to 239 of each subframe carry the STM-16 information; bits 240 to 255 of each subframe carry the redundant bits, computed by the RS(255,239)algorithm.T1520690-96STM-16 dataredundantcodes238 bitssubframe length = 255 bits16 bits1 bitfr

Hence,rescrambling of the FEC frame is not generally required.However, when implemented in the submarine Terminal Transmission Equipment

49、 (TTE), thescrambling facility should possibly be inhibited.The scrambling of the FEC frame may be carried out in the following procedure: the FEC frame isscrambled, with the exception of the framing structure bits of the FEC frame, by a x7+ x + 1polynomial initiated at each frame on the first bit which follows the framing structure in the FECframe.The first bits of the scrambler sequence are 1111111. Thereafter, the scrambler runs continuouslythroughout the complete FEC
