Abstract
A communication device is provided that estimates one or more disturbance values associated with one or more components of the communication device, and adjusts the communication device to change a received power of the output signal. The communication device includes a transmitter having a seed laser configured to provide an amount of bandwidth for an output signal, an Erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) configured to increase an amplitude of the output signal, and a single mode variable optical attenuator (SMVOA) configured to decrease the amplitude of the output signal.
Claims20
A method of adjusting power output over a communication link, the method comprising:
- receiving, by one or more processors of a first communication device, signal power information from a second communication device;
- receiving, by the one or more processors, conditions at the first communication device from one or more sensors;
- determining, by the one or more processors, that a first change in the conditions at the first communication device is associated with a second change in the signal power information;
- and
- performing, by the one or more processors, an adjustment of a power of a communication signal output by the first communication device over the communication link based on the second change in the signal power information.
A first communication device comprising:
- one or more processors configured to:
- receive signal power information from a second communication device;
- receive conditions at the first communication device from one or more sensors;
- determine that a first change in the conditions at the first communication device is associated with a second change in the signal power information;
- and
- perform an adjustment of a power of a communication signal output by the first communication device over a communication link based on the second change in the signal power information.
A non-transitory, tangible computer-readable storage medium on which computer readable instructions of a program are stored, the instructions, when executed by one or more processors of a first communication device, cause the one or more processors to perform a method, the method comprising:
- receiving signal power information from a second communication device;
- receiving conditions at the first communication device from one or more sensors;
- determining that a first change in the conditions at the first communication device is associated with a second change in the signal power information;
- and
- performing an adjustment of a power of a communication signal output by the first communication device over a communication link based on the second change in the signal power information.
