Abstract:
Disclosed is a slice connection method of an optical access network and an optical access network system for slice connection. A slice connection method performed by an optical network unit (ONU) of an optical access network system may include determining a service type of a host device transmitting a service connection request, determining a slice based on the service type, sending a request for connection to the slice to an optical line terminal (OLT), and relaying data transmission and reception between the OLT and the host device when a slice connection response corresponding to the request is received from the OLT.
Abstract:
A bandwidth allocation apparatus and method for providing a low-latency service in an optical network that may guarantee low-latency requirements and improve a network utilization rate by allocating a static bandwidth to an ONU requiring low latency within an allocable bandwidth and by allocating a dynamic bandwidth to an ONU not requiring the low latency within a remaining bandwidth.
Abstract:
An optical line terminal (OLT) accumulates and stores a user frame for each physical layer identifier (PLID) to efficiently use a plurality of lanes used for downstream transmission from the OLT to an optical network unit (ONU). The OLT envelopes payloads that are accumulatively stored for the respective PLIDs based on a transmission rate supported by a corresponding ONU, combines an envelope header based on an envelope payload unit, and transmits an envelope frame. The OLT selects an available lane from among a plurality of lanes and may transmit the envelope frame through the selected lane.
Abstract:
An optical line terminal (OLT) and an optical network unit (ONU) configured to generate a plurality of fragments by fragmenting a media access control (MAC) frame and to transmit the plurality of generated fragments, when a length of the MAC frame is greater than or equal to a maximum transmission unit (MTU).
Abstract:
Provided is a hybrid passive optical network (PON) system. The hybrid PON system of wavelength division multiplexing (WDM)/time division multiplexing (TDM) may include an optical line terminal (OLT) and an optical network unit (ONU). The OLT and the ONU may transmit a signal based on wavelength reuse using a seed light source and a reflective modulator. The light source may include a seed light source having a single wavelength, two seed light sources having different wavelength bands, and a light source having a wavelength tunable characteristic.
Abstract:
A converged passive optical network (CPON) and a data transmission method are disclosed. The CPON is a combination of a time division multiple access-passive optical network (TDMA-PON) and an orthogonal frequency division multiple access-passive optical network (OFDMA-PON) and is able to dynamically controlling a bandwidth for upstream signal transmission through allocation of multiple subcarriers to each single optical network unit (ONU).
Abstract:
A modulation method of an optical modem and a signal transmission apparatus performing the method are disclosed. The modulation method of the optical modem includes an optical interface providing a signal to a light source, a photo detector receiving reflected light by an optical link when output light from the light source based on the provided signal is reflected by the optical link, the photo detector measuring and determining characteristics of the optical link using the reflected light, and the optical modem determining a power level and a modulation method for each subcarrier based on the characteristics of the optical link.
