Elimination of clock recovery and framing by transporting clock, data and synchronization pulse for OC-192 using WDM

Using the least dispersed wavelengths in a wavelength division network (WDM) system to transport the clock and synchronization pulse as data signals along with byte wide data is proposed for OC-192 and higher rates. This scheme eliminates the clock recovery, scrambling and descrambling functions. A behavioral model of the WDM-based communication network using a hardware description language is described.
