Description:TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of data centre communications. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a system and a method for aggregating RS422 data over fibre optics with an enhanced Bit Error Rate (BER).

BACKGROUND
[0002] Background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present disclosure. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed disclosure, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] RS422 is a standard communication protocol widely used for transmitting data over long distances with minimal noise interference. RS422 employs differential signalling, ensuring reliable and robust data transmission even in industrial environments. RS422 channels are commonly utilized in applications like sensors, controllers, and monitoring systems, where high-speed and low-error communication is essential. However, integrating RS422 channels into modern optical fiber communication systems presents challenges. This requires efficient conversion, aggregation, and transmission to maintain signal integrity.
[0004] The fibre optic communication systems are widely used for high-speed, long-distance data transmission, especially in industrial environments where RS422 is a common protocol. However, the commercially available solutions for aggregating RS422 signals over fiber optics rely heavily on FPGA-based Serializer/Deserializer (SERDES) units. While effective in functionality, these solutions are cost-prohibitive due to the high expense of FPGA hardware and the additional resources required for programming and customization. Thereby, a significant limitation is posed on scalability and affordability for industries requiring multiple RS422 channels.
[0005] Additionally, the use of FPGA introduces complex programming requirements, which increase the overall design, development, and maintenance effort. The programming complexity poses a barrier for many applications where skilled developers and extensive resources may not be readily available. As a result, industries face challenges in adopting fiber optic solutions that are both high-performing and cost-efficient, particularly in environments requiring reliable transmission over multiple RS422 channels.
[0006] Further, current commercially available SERDES-based RS422 fiber optic transceivers are also limited in channel aggregation, typically supporting only 6 channels per transceiver unit. The limitation on extending channels requires deploying additional transceiver pairs for applications requiring higher channel counts, further increasing the cost and complexity of the system. The combination of high costs, limited scalability, and programming overhead in existing solutions creates a pressing need for an innovative, cost-effective system that reduces dependency on FPGA-based architectures while improving scalability and ease of deployment.
[0007] One example of prior art, CN216216903, discloses an anti-interference 32-path RS422 serial port optical transceiver. The said transceiver device achieves full-duplex, anti-interference communication without the need for programmable logic chips like FPGA and CPLD. However, the existing system primarily focuses on providing a higher number of channels, and does not address the specific challenge of optimizing the bit error rate (BER) for fewer channels, which is a critical aspect of our invention.
[0008] Similarly, another prior art CN113904728 describes an anti-interference 32-path RS422 serial port optical transceiver. While the said existing document emphasizes on full-duplex communication and channel independence, and does not specifically tackle the optimization of BER for a smaller number of channels, nor discloses regarding cost-effectiveness for applications requiring fewer channels.
[0009] A further example of prior art CN110247704 discusses a photoelectric conversion expansion device that includes RS422 electrical signal transmission to optical fiber. Even though, the existing device supports full-duplex communication, the existing device does not eliminate the use of FPGA for serialization/deserialization, which is a key feature of our invention.
[0010] Additionally another prior art CN114549090 involves a data processing system with a multi-channel transmission module, including RS422 communication. However, the existing system does not specifically focus on RS422 over fiber or the elimination of FPGA, nor does it address the challenges of optimizing BER for RS422 data transmission.
[0011] However, the said existing methods often fall short in environments with significant interference or when long-distance transmission is required. Additionally, the use of copper-based systems can lead to increased weight and bulk, which are undesirable in applications where space and weight are at a premium, such as in aerospace or defense systems.
[0012] There is, therefore, a need to overcome the above drawback, limitations, and shortcomings associated with the existing practices, and provide a system and a method for aggregating RS422 data over fibre optics with enhanced Bit Error Rate (BER) that eliminates the need for FPGA in the serialization/deserialization process, reduces the overall cost and complexity of the system, making it more accessible for applications that do not require a high number of channels by utilizing fiber optic technology to transmit RS422 signals over multiple channels.

[0066] FIGs. 2A-2B illustrates high-level architecture of the proposed system 102 for aggregating RS422 data over fibre optics with enhanced Bit Error Rate (BER), in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0067] In an embodiment, referring to FIG 2A, aggregating RS422 data channels and transmitting them over a single optical fiber, enhancing scalability and reducing costs. The system includes at least one RS422 to LVDS converter (202-1, 202-2,…,202-N) (individually referred to as the RS422 to LVDS converter 202), one or more pre-emphasis and equalizer units (204-1, 202-4,…,204-N) (individually referred to as the pre-emphasis and equalizer units 204), a Serializer/Deserializer (SERDES) unit (206-1, 202-6,…,206-N) (individually referred to as the SERDES unit 206), and one or more fiber optic transceiver units 208. Each component is designed to optimize the signal quality and ensure reliable data transmission over long distances. The system 102 effectively addresses the limitations of existing solutions by eliminating the need for costly FPGA-based SERDES, significantly reducing product cost and complexity.
[0068] In an embodiment, the RS422 to LVDS converter 202 may be configured for transforming the RS422 signals into low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) format. The conversion improves the noise immunity and power efficiency of the signals, making them suitable for serialization and optical transmission. The LVDS signals are passed through one or more pre-emphasis and equalizer units 204, which enhance signal quality by compensating for attenuation and distortion introduced during transmission. The pre-emphasis and equalizer units 204 may be configured to ensure the signals maintain high integrity and minimal bit error rates (BER).
[0069] Once the signals are conditioned, the signals are serialized using SERDES unit 206 which may be configured to convert multiple parallel LVDS data channels into a single high-speed serial data stream, significantly reducing the number of transmission lines required. The serialized data is then converted into optical signals by the fiber optic transceiver 208 enabling long-distance transmission over a single optical fiber. The optical signals are aggregated using an optical multiplexer 214, which combines multiple optical channels for efficient use of fiber optic bandwidth. At the receiving end, the aggregated optical signals are separated into individual optical channels by an optical demultiplexer 214. The separated signals are converted back into electrical format by the fiber optic transceiver and deserialized into their original LVDS format by the SERDES unit. The LVDS signals are then converted back into RS422 format using the LVDS to RS422 converters 212, making the RS422 signals compatible with the user device 108. Thus, based on the RS422 signals the system 102 maintains compatibility with existing RS422-based devices while leveraging the advantages of fiber optic transmission.
[0070] In an embodiment, referring to FIG. 2B, the system 102 includes at least one RS422 to LVDS converter (202-1, 202-2,…,202-N)/ (212-1, 212-2,…212-N (individually referred to as the RS422 to LVDS converter 202/212), one or more pre-emphasis and equalizer units (204-1, 202-4,…,204-N) (individually referred to as the pre-emphasis and equalizer units 204), a Serializer/Deserializer (SERDES) unit (206-1, 202-6,…,206-N) (individually referred to as the SERDES unit 206), and one or more fiber optic transceiver units 208. The system 102 captures one or more RS422 signals from at least one computing device associated with a user and converting these signals into LVDS format using an RS422 to LVDS converter 202/212. The LVDS signals are then enhanced for quality using the pre-emphasis and equalizer units 204 to mitigate signal degradation. Subsequently, the LVDS signals are serialized by SERDES units 206 and transformed into optical signals via fiber optic transceivers. These optical signals are aggregated into a single transmission channel using an optical multiplexing unit and transmitted over a single fiber optic cable. At the receiving end, the aggregated optical signal is demultiplexed into individual channels using an optical demultiplexing unit 214. The separated optical signals are then converted into serialized electrical signals by the fiber optic transceivers and deserialized back into LVDS signals using the SERDES unit 206. Finally, the LVDS signals are reconverted into RS422 signals using LVDS to RS422 converters 202/212, ensuring compatibility with RS422-based devices.
