Abstract:
A method and apparatus for transporting data through a single optical fiber (SOF) the method comprising the steps of providing (S 1 ) transmission Tx, wavelength division multiplexed, WDM, data channels and reception Rx, wavelength division multiplexed, WDM, data channels having the same frequency grid with frequency gaps between the WDM data channels; frequency shifting (S 2 ) the Tx-WDM data channels and/or the Rx-WDM data channels to avoid spectral overlap between the Tx-WDM data channels and the Rx-WDM data channels; combining (S 3 ) the frequency shifted Tx-WDM data channels and the frequency shifted Rx-WDM data channels; and transporting (S 4 ) data via the combined WDM data channels through said single optical fiber (SOF) in opposite directions.

Claim (Index 5):
The method according to  claim 1  wherein all Tx-WDM data channels and/or all Rx-WDM data channels are frequency shifted simultaneously to avoid spectral overlap between the Tx-WDM data channels and the Rx-WDM data channels on said single optical fiber.
