Abstract
A technique for controlling node equipment in a SONET ring transmission system. Control signals from a control center are transmitted in a selected byte of the SONET frame to each node (50-57) coupled to the SONET ring (24). Each SONET node includes a decoder (61) for decoding the control signals as to a destination address, and if a match is found, the node decodes a command field to carry out the representative functions. The command may be to activate or deactivate node circuits, or to receive or transmit video signals in specified VT channels of the SONET frame. In this manner, equipment can be switched on or off at the respective node to thereby optimize the bandwidth efficiency of the SONET network.

STATEMENT UNDER PCT ARTICLE 19Oι
A feature of Applicant's claimed invention is that a source node connected to an optical network is able to control a destination node so that the destination node can transmit or otherwise place optical information in time slots, as specified by the source node. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the source node couples time slot information via the SONET network to the destination node, and the destination node utilizes an add-and-drop circuit to add the video information generated at the destination node, into the specified time slots for transfer on the SONET ring.
With regard to the Lightfoot et al. reference, there is disclosed therein technology which delivers video signals from a video information provider (VIP) to a video information user (VIU). The invention disclosed in the reference provides video information to the user via a SONET ring 1102, a video network hub (VNH) 1104, a local video access node (LVAN) 1112, a local loop distribution network (LLD) 1124, and then to the customer premises 1126.
The broadcast consolidation section 1100 (Fig. 5) receives video information in ATM cells and couples the same via an OC-3 optical line to a SONET multiplexer 1122. DS-3
signals are also coupled by a digital encoder from the video information provider to the SONET multiplexer 1122. The broadcast consolidation section 1100 determines which time slots of the SONET ring 1102 will carry the multiplexed ATM and DS-3 signals from the video information provider, around the optical ring and to the various video network hubs 1104. There is no suggestion whatsoever that the broadcast consolidation section 1100 is capable of transmitting control signals on the SONET ring 1102 that provide time slot information to the destination nodes. It is specifically noted at Col. 32, between lines 42 and 48 that the SONET multiplexer 1130 (Fig. 6) of the video network hub is of a "drop-and- continue" type which simply drops the video information carried by the SONET ring to the video network hub 1104, and continues the same video information by transmitting it back onto the SONET ring 1102. It is noted that the drop-and-continue technique is significantly different from Applicant's "drop-and-add" function which is capable of adding data generated at the destination node onto the SONET ring, in time slots specified by the source node.
With reference to Fig. 6, it is noted that the SONET multiplexer 1130 provides DS-3 data to the 45 MB/s decoder 1132 and provides ATM cell information to the ATM packet demultiplexer 1134. There are no busses or arrows that otherwise provide any information back to the SONET multiplexer 1130 for adding data from the destination node as optical signals to the SONET ring 1102.
Provisions are made in the system disclosed in the cited reference where the video information user can signal the ATM subnet 1106 so that interactive multimedia television (IMTV) sessions can be transmitted to the user. In Fig. 7 of the reference, the local video access node 1112 is provided with an optical line 1172 between the ATM subnet 1106 and a SONET multiplexer 1170. However, this is a unidirectional optical fiber (Col. 37, lines 63 - 67) where video information is only provided from the ATM subnet 1106 to the local video access node 1112. The optical line 1172 carries IMTV traffic and signals from the VIPs and the network. Again, there are no provisions whatsoever of allowing the local video access node to place data generated at the destination node onto the optical line 1172.
From the foregoing, the disclosure of the Lightfoot et al. reference does not negate the novelty of the invention.
