20100221006 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR EFFICIENT BANDWIDTH ALLOCATION ON TIME DIVISION MULTIPLE ACCESS-BASED PASSIVE OPTICAL NETWORK (TDMA-PON) - Provided are an apparatus and method for efficiently and dynamically allocating a bandwidth on a Time Division Multiple Access-based Passive Optical Network (TDMA PON). The dynamic bandwidth allocation apparatus for uplink data transmission of a plurality of Optical Network Units (ONUs) including a plurality of class queues corresponding to Transmission Container (T-CONT) types, the plurality of ONUs connected to an Optical Line Terminal (OLT) on a Passive Optical Network (PON), includes: a class queue information storage unit storing information regarding a bandwidth allocation period and an allocatable bandwidth amount for each T-CONT type; an allocation check table unit checking the bandwidth allocation period for the T-CONT type received from the class queue information storage unit, and determining an allocatable bandwidth amount for the T-CONT type; and a bandwidth allocation unit allocating an uplink bandwidth to the T-CONT type with reference to the bandwidth allocation period and the allocatable bandwidth amount for the T-CONT type, and re-allocating to each ONU an uplink bandwidth remaining after allocating a total uplink bandwidths to all T-CONT types. | 09-02-2010 |
20120045210 | OPTICAL SUBSCRIBER NETWORK - An optical subscriber network for power reduction is provided. The optical subscriber network may include an Optical Line Terminal (OLT) and an Optical Network Terminal (ONT). The OLT may manage a plurality of ONTs by classifying the plurality of ONTs into a sleep group, and may multicast a sleep allowance message only to ONTs included in a predetermined sleep group. | 02-23-2012 |
20120163808 | DETECTING ROGUE ONU, OLT AND PON SYSTEM - A method and apparatus of detecting a rogue optical network unit (ONU) is provided. An optical line terminal (OLT) detects an abnormal upstream transmission to determine a plurality of rogue ONU candidates, and transmits a sleep allow message instructing a transition to a sleep mode to each of the plurality of rogue ONU candidates. The OLT detects the rogue ONU among the plurality of rogue ONU candidates based on upstream transmissions from the plurality of rogue ONU candidates in the sleep mode. Since the detection of the rogue ONU is performed in the sleep mode, the remaining ONUs can transition from the sleep mode to the normal mode after the detection of the rogue ONU is completed, thereby making it possible to rapidly resume upstream communication. | 06-28-2012 |
20120163818 | PASSIVE OPTICAL NETWORK APPARATUS FOR TRANSMITTING OPTICAL SIGNAL - Disclosed herein are a remote node and a telephone station terminal in a passive optical network (PON). The remote node includes an optical circulator that transmits downlink signals input from a downlink optical backbone network to a wavelength distributor and transmits uplink signals input from the wavelength distributor to an uplink optical backbone network different from a downlink optical backbone network; and a wavelength distributor that distributes the downlink signal input from the optical circulator into a plurality of wavelengths to be connected to an optical distribution network and connects the uplink signals input from the optical distribution network to the optical circulator. | 06-28-2012 |
20120315046 | PASSIVE OPTICAL NETWORK (PON)-BASED SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING HANDOVER AMONG OPTICAL NETWORK TERMINALS (ONTS) - A Passive Optical Network (PON)-based system and method for providing handover between Optical Network Terminals (ONTs) are provided. The PON-based system may include an Optical Line Terminal (OLT), and an ONT to relay communication between the OLT and a mobile terminal. When the mobile terminal is connected to the ONT, the ONT may transmit a WiFi location update alarm message to the OLT, and the OLT may update a Look-Up Table (LUT) in response to the WiFi location update alarm message. | 12-13-2012 |
20130071111 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MANAGING DYNAMIC BANDWIDTH ALLOCATION TO SUPPORT LOW-POWER MODE IN PASSIVE OPTICAL NETWORK (PON) - An apparatus and method for managing a dynamic bandwidth allocation to support a low-power mode, in a passive optical network (PON) are provided. The apparatus may include a power saving mode managing unit to manage a power saving mode of at least one optical network unit (ONU), a bandwidth allocation parameter storage unit to store a bandwidth allocation parameter used for a power saving mode, and to maintain the stored bandwidth allocation parameter, and a dynamic bandwidth allocating unit to provide bandwidth allocation information to the at least one ONU, when the stored bandwidth allocation parameter is received. | 03-21-2013 |
20140270779 | WAVELENGTH SELECTION AND CONFIGURATION METHOD FOR MULTI-WAVELENGTH OPTICAL COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - Provided is an OLT including a wavelength splitter that splits all upstream optical signals with different wavelengths received from at least one ONU according to wavelength, at least one receiver that receive the optical signals split by the wavelength splitter according to wavelength, a wavelength selector that allocates an upstream transmission wavelength of the at least one ONU, and a transmitter that transmits wavelength allocation information allocated by the wavelength selector to the at least one ONU. | 09-18-2014 |
20150244454 | FAST PROTECTION SWITCHING METHOD FOR PASSIVE OPTICAL NETWORK - A fast protection switching method for a Passive Optical Network (PON). When performing protection switching from an operation link (an operation network) to a protection link (a protection network) in a PON, the fast protection switching method enables rapidly updating Equalization Delay (EqD) values, even if the EqD values are different for Optical Network Terminals (ONTs) of varying distances. | 08-27-2015 |
