20120008948 | PASSIVE OPTICAL NETWORK SYSTEM AND OPERATING METHOD THEREOF - Provided is a passive optical network system for operating a mixture of PONs with differing transmission speeds and is capable of reducing power consumption on the basis of the amount of signals being transmitted. The master station of the passive optical network system, which determines the amount and timing of signals sent thereto by each of a plurality of slave stations on the basis of the requests of the plurality of slave stations and receives signals from the plurality of slave stations via an optical fiber network, is equipped with a control unit that determines in each set cycle the amount, transmission timing, and transmission speed of the signals that each slave station is permitted to transmit to said master station on the basis of the amount of signals that each of the plurality of slave stations has requested to transmit, and that notifies such to each slave station. Additionally, each of the plurality of slave stations is equipped with a control unit that transmits signals to the master station at a first transmission speed or a second transmission speed that is faster than the first transmission speed, and is configured to transmit signals with either the first transmission speed or the second transmission speed on the basis of notifications from the master station. | 01-12-2012 |
20120106958 | OPTICAL MULTIPLEXING TERMINATING DEVICE, PASSIVE OPTICAL NETWORK SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ALLOCATING WAVELENGTH - A passive optical network system such that the power consumption can be reduced as much as possible according to the end-user traffic. An OLT uses the DBA function thereof and sequentially uses frequencies in ascending order of transmission rate in order to sequentially allocate bands to ONUs in ascending order of the requested bandwidth. At this time, a frequency to be allocated is selected so that the bandwidth allocated to each ONU is narrower than a maximum bandwidth through which transmission using the allocated wavelength is enabled. An OLT uses a grant area to specify the transmission timing of the secondary station and to inform the specified transmission timing to the secondary station. In addition, an area is set for storing information used to inform the secondary station of a new frequency to be used. | 05-03-2012 |
