Features: Optical Transport Network (OTN) is a transmission network organized in the optical layer based on wavelength division multiplexing technology, serving as the next-generation。This book systematically collects the latest recommendations from ITU-T on optical transport networks up to the present, combining the author's achievements and insights from years of research in optical network technology. It comprehensively introduces the origin and evolution of optical transport networks, the directions and strategies for the evolution of existing optical networks to OTN, the hierarchical structure of OTN, the transmission modules and frame structures of OTN, the mapping and multiplexing methods for customer signals, the node equipment and network management of OTN, the physical interfaces of optical transport networks, and the jitter and drift performance of OTN. This book is a comprehensive, up-to-date, and professional reference on OTN, with rich content, clear concepts, and strong systematicity. It is suitable for researchers in optical transport networks, professionals engaged in optical network planning, and developers of OTN equipment. It can also serve as a reference book for telecommunication professionals and managers learning OTN technology, as well as for teachers, graduate students, and senior undergraduate students in communication-related fields who wish to understand the cutting-edge technologies of modern optical networks.
