Abstract
A communication system includes a source node and an end node of a first working path, a source node and an end node of a second working path, and a source node and an end node of a common path serving as a protection path shared by the first and second working paths. The source node of the common path transfers one of signals received from the source nodes of the first and second working paths to the common path, and the end node of the common path transmits the signal received through the common path to each of the end nodes of the first and second working paths.

A communication system, comprising:
- a source node and an end node of a first working path;
- a source node and an end node of a second working path;
- and
- a source node and an end node of a common path serving as a protection path shared by the first and second working paths,
- wherein the source node of the common path is configured to transfer one of signals received from the source nodes of the first and second working paths to the common path, and
- the end node of the common path is configured to transmit the signal received through the common path to each of the end nodes of the first and second working paths.
A communication control method in a communication system including a source node and an end node of a first working path, a source node and an end node of a second working path, and a source node and an end node of a common path serving as a protection path shared by the first and second working paths, the communication control method comprising:
- transferring, from the source node of the common path, one of signals received from the source nodes of the first and second working paths to the common path;
- and
- transmitting, from the end node of the common path, the signal received through the common path to each of the end nodes of the first and second working paths.
