A transmitter may receive client data, associated with a client rate, to be mapped to frames associated with a server rate. The transmitter may generate justifications associated with the mapping of the client data to the frames. The transmitter may create, based on the justifications, artificial justifications that include information associated with justifications created to shape phase variations present in a recovered client clock associated with the client rate. The phase variations may be shaped based on the artificial justifications to cause shaped phase variations to be present in the recovered client clock. The shaped phase variations may include phase variations that can be filtered from the recovered client clock. The transmitter may map the client data to the frames based on the artificial justifications to cause the shaped phase variations to be present in the recovered client clock.

A frame generating apparatus accommodating a client signal in an optical data transfer unit frame with a higher bit rate than the client signal includes a deserializer, a plurality of generic mapping procedure circuits, and a serializer. The deserializer deserializes the client signal into parallel signals, the number of parallel signals corresponding to the number of tributary slots used in the optical data transfer unit frame. The plurality of generic mapping procedure circuits inserts data and stuff into a frame accommodating portion of the optical data transfer unit frame based on a difference in the bit rate between the client signal and the optical data transfer unit frame. The serializer serializes the parallel signals output from the plurality of generic mapping procedure circuits.

A data transmission method, a transmitter, and a receiver, where the method includes obtaining constant bit rate (CBR) service data, performing physical coding sublayer (PCS) encoding on the CBR service data, inserting a rate adaptation code block in a PCS bitstream obtained by PCS encoding to perform rate adaptation on the PCS bitstream, mapping the adapted PCS bitstream to N timeslots of a flexible Ethernet (FlexE) frame, where N is a positive integer greater than or equal to one, and sending the FlexE frame, where FlexE overhead of the FlexE frame includes information indicating the N timeslots corresponding to the PCS bitstream. Hence, according to the data transmission method, the transmitter, and the receiver, the CBR service data may be mapped to a FlexE, and a carrying capability of the FlexE is improved.

In the optical transport system a transport frame generator divides a transport frame accommodating plural client signals into plural transmission signals. Subcarrier transmission units convert the signals into optical signals using different optical carriers and transmit the converted optical signals. Subcarrier reception units receive the transmitted optical signals and convert the optical signals into reception signals. A transport frame termination unit combines the reception signals to restore the transport frame. A time-demultiplexing processor time-demultiplexes the restored transport frame to be separated into the client signals. A time slot control unit determines a new time slot allocation when time-multiplexing the client signals in the transport frame and stops supply of electric power to a subcarrier transmission unit and a subcarrier reception unit that transmit and receive an optical signal to which the client signals are not allocated.

A source node for rate adapting a constant bit rate client signal into a signal stream in a 64B/66B-block telecom signal communication link includes a GMP engine; a FIFO buffer coupled to receive a 64B/66B encoded client data stream; a clock rate measuring circuit; a source of 64B/66B path overhead blocks; a source of 64B/66B pad blocks; a source of 64B/66B idle blocks; a multiplexer; and a multiplexer controller. A control 64B/66B block is encoded into an ordered set block-designator and a count of data blocks to be sent in a next path signal frame is encoded into a plurality of path overhead 64B/66B data blocks. The multiplexer controller is responsive to a count of data blocks to be sent in a next path signal frame from a previous GMP window frame to selectively pass data to a data output so as to fill a GMP window frame.

A method for adjusting a transmission rate includes obtaining first data at a first rate; and sending the second data at a second rate, where the second data comprises the first data and a specific proportion of additional data, the second rate is greater than the first rate.

A method and apparatus includes receiving at a sink node a path signal frame and a modified set of idle character 64B/66B blocks. The path signal frame includes encoded client data signal 64B/66B blocks, path overhead 64B/66B data blocks and a control 64B/66B block. The link bit rate is measured. The number of idle character 64B/66B blocks is determined. The data blocks of the CBR client signal are extracted from the encoded client data signal 64B/66B blocks and the CBR client signal is regenerated from the extracted data blocks. A bit rate of the CBR client signal is determined using the measured link bit rate and the number of idle character 64B/66B blocks. The rate of a CBR signal clock is adjusted for transmitting the CBR client signal at the determined bit rate.
