20080279549 | OPTICAL LINE TERMINAL AND OPTICAL NETWORK UNIT CAPABLE OF ALARM TRANSMISSION SCHEME FOR PASSIVE OPTICAL NETWORK SYSTEM - A station-side apparatus adapted for use in a passive optical network (PON) system is disclosed, which remotely collects inside information of optical network terminals (ONTs) even before completion of start-up of an optical network unit (ONU), permits an obstruction-detected ONU to send out an emergency notification message to the station-side apparatus, e.g., optical line terminal (OLP), and permits the OLT that received this message to interrupt the transmission of an upload signal toward another ONU after the elapse of a fixed length of time while at the same time receiving information from the obstruction-suffering ONU to thereby facilitate cut-and-divide or “segmentation” of obstruction. A subscriber-side device for use in the PON system is also disclosed. | 11-13-2008 |
20080279554 | OPTICAL LINE TERMINAL CAPABLE OF ACTIVE BANDWIDTH ALLOCATION FOR PASSIVE OPTICAL NETWORK SYSTEM - In a GPON system conforming to ITU-T Recommendations G.984.3, an optical line terminal is provided which has an active bandwidth allocation function that preferentially puts small bandwidth signals in a particular segment of a frame, e.g., at a head of the frame, to prevent fragmentations that may occur particularly when allocating small bandwidths of about 100 kbits/s. | 11-13-2008 |
20090080888 | Optical line terminating apparatus and optical communication system - An optical access communication apparatus and an optical access communication system for the coexistence of two wideband PON systems without using an expensive optical device or module. A low-speed PON and a high-speed PON have a same upstream wavelength, and an OLT receives optical signals by a same optical receiver in the two systems, converts the optical signals into electric signals, amplifies the electric signals, branches the amplified electric signals, and processes the branched signals by clock and data recovery sections of bit rates corresponding to the two PON systems, thereby achieving an optical communication apparatus and an optical communication system for constructing a simple and low-cost triple-play service system of excellent transmission quality. | 03-26-2009 |
20090162055 | Optical access system - An optical access system capable of avoiding cutoffs or interruption in the periodically transmitted signals that occur during the ranging time is provided. A first method to avoid signal cutoffs is to stop periodic transmit signals at the transmitter during the ranging period, and transmit all the periodic transmit signals together when the ranging ends, and buffer the signals at the receiver to prepare for ranging. A second method is to fix definite periods ahead of time for performing ranging, then cluster the multiple periodic transmit signals together in sets at the transmitter and send them, and then disassemble those sets back into signals at the receiver. The transmitting and receiving is then controlled so that the transmit periods do not overlap with the ranging periods. In this way an optical access system is provided that can send and receive signals requiring periodic transmissions without interruption even during ranging operation. | 06-25-2009 |
20090196606 | OPTICAL ACCESS NETWORK AND OPTICAL SWITCHING SYSTEMS - An optical access network and optical switching systems requiring no frame delay process on an optical switchboard are disclosed. Plural ONUs are connected to user terminals. An OLT communicates with an IP network through an access gateway. An optical switching unit (OSW) connects the ONUs and the OLT by switching the optical line. A control line connects the OLT and the OSW to control the optical switch change-over operation in the OSW. The optical switch port information required to generate the optical switch activation signal are concentrated in the OLT, which transmits the optical switch change-over control signal to the OSW through the control line before the transmission frame. | 08-06-2009 |
20090201819 | Network System and Data Transfer Device - To prevent, in using a multicast DA in an OAM frame, an increase in the network bandwidth usage and in the load of node processing and a degradation of the network reliability caused by a frame being transmitted to all routes in a broadcast domain. A MAC address and other basic frame information and the MEGID are associated with each other, and the MEGID information is added to the OAM frame, and these information are transmitted from an edge node serving as an end point of an ME. In a relay node of the ME, a route control table used for OAM frame control is provided, and a filter is generated by snooping of the OAM frame. Furthermore, when the relay node does not support the OAM function, the MEGID is denoted by a VLAN tag and the route control is made using the snooping function of each VLAN tag. | 08-13-2009 |
20090210553 | Packet forwarding apparatus using token bucket algorithm and leaky bucket algorithm - A packet forwarding apparatus and network system for providing different types of bandwidth control services to the user; in which a packet forwarding apparatus for transferring data comprises an interface unit for sending and receiving packets, and a traffic shaper for controlling the packet transmission timing and a packet switch for sending an output to the interface unit as the destination of the received packet; and the traffic shaper uses a token bucket algorithm when transmitting a packet to guarantee the minimum frame rate, and uses a leaky bucket algorithm when limiting the peak frame rate. | 08-20-2009 |
20090232265 | Clock data recovery circuit - A clock data recovery circuit that supplies stable reproduction clocks to the object respectively by shortening the time of bit synchronization with each received burst data signal regardless of jittering components included in the received burst data signal, includes an interpolator that generates a reference clock having the same frequency as that of a received burst data signal and two types of determination clocks having a phase that is different from that of the reference clock respectively; and a phase adjustment control circuit that can change the phase of the reference clock in units of M/2π. After beginning receiving of a burst data signal, the clock data recovery circuit sets a large phase change value at the first phase adjustment timing and reduces the change value in the second and subsequent phase adjustment timings, thereby realizing quick bit synchronization with the received burst data signal to generate a reproduction clock. | 09-17-2009 |
