3,Detailed explanation of core technical characteristics

Flexible Spectrum and Rate Technology

TNV1T120S adopts third-generation tunable laser technology, combined with Huawei's self-developed digital signal processing (DSP) chip, to achieve comprehensive software definability of wavelength, rate, and modulation format.In practical deployment, operation and maintenance personnel can remotely adjust the center frequency of each channel through the network management system (with an accuracy of ±0.5GHz), and flexibly switch between DP-16QAM, DP-QPSK, and DP-BPSK modulation formats according to transmission distance requirements.This flexibility enables the network to dynamically adapt to different scenario requirements: in short distance data center interconnection scenarios, DP-16QAM with high spectral efficiency (up to 8-bit/s/Hz) can be used, while in long-distance backbone transmission, DP-QPSK or DP-BPSK with high fault tolerance can be switched.

Advanced coding and error correction technology

The board integrates Huawei's sixth generation enhanced soft decision forward error correction (SD-FEC) technology.This technology adopts a multi-level coding structure and iterative decoding algorithm, achieving a net coding gain of over 10dB with 20% redundancy overhead.Compared with the traditional hard decision FEC (about 6dB gain), SD-FEC reduces the optical signal to noise ratio (OSNR) tolerance of the system by more than 4dB, which is equivalent to reducing the transmission power by 60% at the same transmission distance, or extending the transmission distance by 40% at the same transmission power.This characteristic is of decisive significance for long-distance transmission and complex fiber optic link environments.

Intelligent Light Layer Management

TNV1T120S is equipped with a comprehensive Optical Performance Monitoring (OPM) subsystem, which can monitor and report over 20 key optical parameters in real-time, including input/output optical power (monitoring accuracy±0.5dB), optical signal-to-noise ratio (monitoring accuracy±0.5dB), center frequency offset (monitoring accuracy±0.5GHz), and polarization related losses for each channel.The system supports performance trend prediction based on machine learning, which can warn of possible performance degradation 24-72 hours in advance, transforming traditional passive fault handling into proactive preventive maintenance.

4,System compatibility and configuration requirements

Platform compatibility requirements

Hardware Platform: Must be deployed on Huawei OSN9800 series transmission devices, including OSN9800 U64 (64 slot) and U32 (32 slot) subrack models

Slot compatibility: Supports any business board slot in the subrack, but attention should be paid to heat dissipation planning.It is recommended to insert boards at intervals to ensure heat dissipation efficiency

Power requirement: The maximum power consumption of a single board is 350W, and the sub rack power system is required to have sufficient margin. It is recommended to configure the power module with N+1 redundancy

Heat dissipation requirements: When fully equipped, the computer room air conditioning system needs to ensure that the ambient temperature does not exceed 40°C, and all sub rack fan modules need to be in place and running normally

Software and Management System Requirements

Network management system: requires Huawei U2000 (version V200R019C10 and above) or NCE-T intelligent control system (version V100R020C10 and above)

Equipment software: OSN9800 platform system software needs to be V100R018C10 or higher version

Functional license: Some advanced features (such as flexible grid, super channel, advanced FEC, etc.)require separate purchase and activation of software license

Synchronized clock: An external BIT clock source is required or the clock is obtained through synchronous Ethernet, and the clock accuracy must meet the G.812 standard

Fiber optic and line requirements

Fiber type: Supports G.652.D standard single-mode fiber, it is recommended to use low loss fiber (attenuation ≤ 0.19dB/km)

Link budget: Detailed optical power budget calculation is required before deployment, considering fiber attenuation, connector loss, fusion loss, etc

Dispersion management: It is necessary to configure appropriate dispersion compensation modules (DCM) or use dispersion compensation fibers for long-distance transmission

Nonlinear management: It is necessary to control the input optical power to avoid nonlinear effects such as stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) and four wave mixing (FWM)

5,Typical application scenario configuration

Backbone network deployment

In trunk networks, TNV1T120S is typically deployed in a 1+1 linear protection mode.A typical configuration is to configure a pair of cards (primary and backup) for each transmission direction, using DP-QPSK modulation format to ensure a relay free transmission distance of 800-1200km.Wavelength planning selects 6 out of 80 channels within the C-band, spaced 100GHz apart to avoid crosstalk.The system is configured with Huawei enhanced SD-FEC and equipped with automatic power balancing function to ensure that the difference in optical power between each channel does not exceed 1dB.In terms of business configuration, each 200G channel can carry 2 100GbE customer services or 1 OTU4 line service, and flexible bandwidth allocation is achieved through ODUflex containers.

Interconnection of Large Data Centers

In the Data Center Interconnection (DCI) scenario, DP-16QAM modulation format can be used to maximize spectral efficiency for short-range transmission of 20-80km.Use 50GHz wavelength spacing in the configuration to double the number of channels within the same spectrum range.Due to the short transmission distance, FEC redundancy can be appropriately reduced to 15% to improve effective bandwidth.In terms of protection, fiber routing diversity protection is usually used instead of board level protection to reduce costs.The business mapping adopts a direct mapping method to directly map the customer side 400GbE or 2×200GbE signals to the OTUCn container, achieving the lowest latency transmission (end-to-end latency can be controlled within 50μs).

5G pre transmission and mid transmission bearer

In the 5G carrier scenario, TNV1T120S is mainly used in the urban core layer to undertake traffic aggregation for multiple access rings.A typical configuration is to allocate the six 200G channels of the board to different business areas or access rings, using DP-QPSK modulation to adapt to transmission distances of 50-200km within the metropolitan area.Each 200G channel is divided into multiple flexible service channels using ODUflex slicing technology, carrying 5G forward (eCPRI), intermediate (IPRAN), and backhaul (IP/MPLS) services respectively.The system is configured with a hierarchical QoS strategy to ensure different SLA requirements for 5G network slicing.The end-to-end latency of uRLLC services can be guaranteed to be within 1ms, and the bandwidth of eMBB services can be guaranteed to be above 10Gbps.

6,Operation and Maintenance Management and Fault Handling

Daily monitoring indicator system

Operations personnel need to focus on monitoring the following key performance indicators (KPIs):

Optical layer performance: Input optical power (reference value: -18 to -3ddB), output optical power (reference value: 0 to+5dBm), OSNR value (requirements: DP-16QAM>18dB, DP-QPSK>15dB, DP-BPSK>12dB) for each channel

Error Performance: Pre FEC Error Rate (Requirement:<2.4E-2), Post FEC Error Rate (Requirement:<1E-15), Error Second Count, and Severe Error Second Count

Frequency stability: center frequency offset (requirement:<±1GHz), wavelength drift rate

Temperature status: laser temperature (requirement:<65°C), board ambient temperature (requirement:<55°C

Power consumption data: real-time power consumption values, power consumption trend changes

Common fault handling process

Channel interruption fault: First, check if the optical power is within the normal range.If the optical power is abnormal, check the fiber connection and clean the optical interface;If the optical power is normal but the OSNR is too low, check the quality of the fiber optic line or adjust the transmission power;If all the above are normal but still unable to establish a connection, consider replacing the optical module or single board.

Error rate too high fault: Check and optimize FEC configuration parameters, adjust modulation format to adapt to actual link conditions, check and optimize dispersion compensation scheme, and investigate the impact of fiber nonlinear effects.

Wavelength loss lock fault: Check the stability of the ambient temperature (temperature fluctuation<±5°C/hour required), re execute the wavelength calibration procedure, check the aging status of the laser (service life>8 years), and replace the single board if necessary.

Single board communication interruption: Check if the backplane connection is reliable, re plug and unplug the single board, check the status of the sub rack control board, upgrade or reinstall the single board software.

Preventive Maintenance Plan

Daily: Check all alarms and performance limit events through the network management system, and record trends in key performance indicators.

Weekly: Analyze performance data trends, predict potential performance degradation, and perform fiber optic connector cleaning.

Monthly: Conduct comprehensive optical power and OSNR testing, calibrate monitoring accuracy, and backup network configuration data.

Quarterly: Conduct protection switching tests to verify fault recovery capabilities, clean equipment dust screens and heat dissipation channels.

Every year: Conduct systematic health checks, assess equipment aging status, and develop upgrade or replacement plans.
