Abstract

The method of synchronous digital hierarchy self-healing ring (SDH SHR) in submarine operation is being developed to improve the reliability of international submarine optical communications. Transoceanic switching is applied in SDH SHR because of the unique features of an international optical submarine cable network: longer distance, submarine environment and fewer terminal stations. We study the system performance of transoceanic switching. In particular, we focus on ring switching. The analytical and simulation results present may provide guidance to those attempting to further improve performance of interest
