US 2026/0074784 A1 · NETWORKED FORWARD TRANSMISSION-BASED OPTICAL NETWORK ANOMALY DETECTION

Abstract

Disclosed are systems, and methods providing optical network anomaly detection and localization based on forward transmission sensing and route optimization and network-wide global planning of sensing routes. Multiple sensing routes are selected to cover the entire network and each link in the network is guaranteed to contain a different combination of sensing routes. These routes are then monitored concurrently and analyzed centrally. When an anomalous event occurs at a specific link, receivers in the corresponding routes will detect optical characteristic changes. Since the sensing route combination is unique for each link, a global analysis of the optical characteristic change will indicate the exact link that causes the event.
