A novel scheme of global adaptive dispersion compensation combined with extended control plane in transparent optical networks is proposed. The performance of transport plane of ASON is monitored by extended control plane in this paper. When the residual dispersion at optical receiver can't satisfy the transmission performance demand, a module of compensation budget computing will be activated to compute adjustment quantity of all tunable dispersion compensators, and then every tunable dispersion compensator adjust their parameters respectively according to the adjustment quantity to realize global adaptive dispersion compensation. Simulation results indicate that it is more efficient than separate compensation of using adaptive dispersion compensator.
