The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommen

5、dations on 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 ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The app

In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC.

14、 the active development of many kinds of broadband services such as data and video communication using access networks. It is important to realize high-speed broadband networks to provide such services economically. In order to provide these services in a timely way, we must construct optical access

15、 networks immediately, effectively and economically for “fibre-to-anything“ (FTTx). The development of optical fibre access networks for FTTx can largely be divided into four stages based on the increasing number of customers, namely the initial stage, the growth stage, the mature stage and the fina

16、l stage. To achieve the above goals, the network design must take construction, maintenance and operation into account. ITU-T Rec.

27、ely a central office area, a feeder area, a distribution area and a user area from a central office to residential premises as shown in Figure 1. The feeder area extends from optical distribution frames (ODFs) in the central office to a distribution point. In the distribution area, a distribution ca

28、ble is connected with a feeder cable at the distribution point and led to an access point. In the user area, a drop cable is connected with a distribution cable at the access point and led to an optical network unit (ONU) in an individual home, apartment or business building, etc. It is most importa

29、nt that the optical fibres are distributed in such a way that efficient design, construction, maintenance and operation for FTTx is achieved.

31、 network, and to select optical components for FTTx, telecommunication companies should mainly consider the following: ITU-T Rec. L.65 (12/2006) 3 Scalability (number of terminated fibres, number of fibre jointing points (joint closures), total fibre length of network, etc.). Survivability (security

32、, supervisory system, etc.). Functionality (bit rate, transmission distance, etc.). Construction and maintenance costs (cost, quality and reliability of components to position in the network, etc.). Network upgradeability (increased transmission capacity, transmission length, number of customers (in

33、cluding future demand) and potential evolution or migration of architecture). Operability and suitability over designed network lifetime. Telecommunication companies should develop appropriate designs based on the optical access network requirements for each country. In addition, the development of

34、optical fibre access networks can largely be divided into four stages based on the increasing number of subscribers as shown in Figure 2, namely the initial stage, the growth stage, the mature stage and the final stage. Telecommunication companies should focus particularly on the following items in

35、each stage. L.65(06)_F02TimeInitialstageGrowthstageMaturestage Finalstage Number of subscribersFigure 2 Progressive increase in number of FTTx subscribers 6.1 Initial stage 6.1.1 Effective and economical optical fibre distribution for demand dispersed over a wide area In the initial stage, the deman

36、d for optical fibre will be dispersed over a wide area. Therefore, telecommunication companies should respond by designing effective and economical approaches to optical fibre distribution. For example, it is important to determine the distribution point and access point allocation, which is closely

37、 related to construction cost and construction workability. Moreover, to flexibly respond to demand, ease of branching and dropping after the initial cable installation should be considered as described in ITU-T L.58 when selecting the optical fibre cables. 6.1.2 Optical fibre distribution taking ac

38、count of future demand In addition to the above, it is important that the optical fibre distribution scheme should take account of the potential demand during the growth and mature stages. For example, the number of fibres in the cables and the number of branches for the branching devices in a passi

39、ve optical network (PON) are important optical fibre distribution parameters as regards future demand. Technologies that support deferred cost for subsequent up-scaling of fibre capacity could be considered. 4 ITU-T Rec. L.65 (12/2006) 6.2 Growth stage 6.2.1 Optical fibre distribution for quick resp

40、onse to demand In the growth stage, the demand for optical fibre will occur randomly over a wide area. It is therefore very important for the optical fibre distribution scheme to be able to quickly respond to this demand. In particular, it is necessary to design the optical access network with a vie

41、w to achieving easy optical fibre distribution over the last mile between an access point and individual homes, apartments, business building, etc., because the distribution over the last mile is large scale and the demand is random. However, in the growth stage, the demand for optical fibre will be

42、 widely dispersed in rural areas. Therefore, an effective and economical optical fibre distribution scheme that responds to this demand will be needed for rural areas. 6.2.2 Optical fibre distribution for easy maintenance and operation In addition to the above, at this stage there will be a rapid ex

43、pansion of the optical access network infrastructure, including optical fibre and optical fibre cable. Therefore, it is important to be able to easily maintain and operate the optical access network infrastructure. For example, there will be a need to use the optical fibre network maintenance suppor

44、t, monitoring and testing system described in ITU-T L.40 and ITU-T L.53. In addition, an optical access network infrastructure database will need to be constructed and used to operate and administer the huge expansion of the infrastructure, taking into account other future Recommendations on databas

45、es for optical access network infrastructure and system architecture for data transmission, database access and interoperability. Moreover, it is anticipated that overlay of fibre networks into areas of legacy metallic networks will eventually occur, presenting challenges for both aerial and undergr

46、ound deployment. In addition, it will be important to use existing facilities such as cable ducts for the effective and economical installation of optical fibre cables. For example, several optical fibre cables could be installed in a cable duct. This is because the optical access network infrastruc

47、ture will increase and the available facilities may become scarce. Consideration could be given to active cable duct management solutions to ensure their future economical usability. 6.3 Mature stage 6.3.1 Optical fibre distribution for easy maintenance and operation In the mature stage, the demand

48、for new optical fibre will be slow and a huge optical access network infrastructure will be in place. Therefore, it is of utmost importance that the optical fibre distribution scheme be easy to maintain and operate. This will require an optical fibre network maintenance support, monitoring and testi

49、ng system, and a corresponding database. In addition, customers who require very high reliability should be provided with two or more fibres using a ring network in each stage, as described in ITU-T L.42. Telecommunication companies should select appropriate architectures and optical components (e.g., optical fibre cable and passive optical components), and design and construct optical access networks taking account of the above factors in each stage. 6.4 Final stage In the final stage, demographic considerations may determine
