Abstract:
A terminal status monitoring apparatus connected to a terminal at an optical subscriber side in an optical network is provided. A signal transferring unit transfers a downlink optical signal to the terminal and receives, as a reflected optical signal, the downlink optical signal which is reflected at the terminal. A signal receiving unit measures an intensity of the reflected optical signal. A signal processing unit determines a connection status of a terminal device at the terminal by comparing an intensity of the downlink optical signal with the intensity of the reflected optical signal. A signal output unit outputs the connection status.

Disclosed are a method and system for determining and controlling power of an optical transmitter of an optical network unit (ONU) for a time and wavelength division multiplexing passive optical network (TWDM-PON). The system includes an RSSI collector configured to collect received signal strength indication (RSSI) information from upstream optical signals received from the ONUs connected to optical line terminal (OLT) ports, an ONU power level determiner configured to gather the pieces of RSSI information about the ONUs from the RSSI collector, and to determine power of optical transmitters of the ONUs based on the gathered information, and a power mode controller configured to receive power mode setting information of the optical transmitters of the ONUs from the ONU power level determiner, and to generate a physical layer operation and maintenance (PLOAM) message to control power modes of the ONUs based on the received power mode setting information.
Abstract:
Provided are a system and method for setting a downstream forward error correction code for a downstream frame which is transmitted from an optical line terminal to an optical network unit in a time division multiplexing passive optical network. A system for setting a downstream forward error correction code in a time division multiplexing passive optical network includes: an optical line terminal configured to change a downstream forward error correction (FEC) indication included in a downstream frame and set a downstream FEC indication counter included in the downstream frame to transmit the downstream frame; and an optical network unit configured to receive the downstream frame from the optical line terminal and synchronize an FEC setting of the optical network unit with the FEC setting of the optical line terminal as a result of detection of the downstream FEC indication and downstream FEC indication counter included in the downstream frame.
