Abstract:
A method of tuning a wavelength in a TWDM-PON which has a plurality of operable channels is provided. First, a second channel is added as an operating channel of the TWDM-PON in which at least a first channel is working, and then an OLT that is providing a service to an ONU through the first channel requests the ONU to tune to the second channel. In response to receiving the request, the ONU determines whether a downstream wavelength of the second channel has been recorded thereon. According to the determination result, the ONU sends to the OLT an ACK message that indicates that the ONU is able to perform wavelength tuning and then commences wavelength tuning to the second channel, or the ONU sends to the OLT a NACK message that indicates that the ONU is unable to perform wavelength tuning.

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 method of registering an optical network unit (ONU) in an optical line terminal (OLT). The OLT determines a lane to be used by the ONU based on a transmission rate supported by the ONU, combines or distributes data of a dataflow based on a rate of the lane by comparing the rate of the lane to a rate of the dataflow of a media access control (MAC) client interface, and, when the OLT and the ONU are connected through multiple lanes, transmits and receives data between the OLT and the ONU through channel bonding for more effective use of a network.

Abstract:
A method of determining a physical layer wavelength of a tunable optical network unit (ONU) in a time wavelength division multiplexing-passive optical network (TWDM-PON) is provided. First, a receiving wavelength of a tunable receiver is tuned to a downstream wavelength of one of a plurality of operable channels in a TWDM-PON system. Then, it is checked whether the tunable receiver maintains a state of loss of signal (LOS) for a predetermined period of time or the state of LOS is cleared. In response to a determination that the state of LOS is cleared, the ONU performs subsequent link establishment procedures in the channel, and in response to a determination that the state of LOS is maintained, the receiving wavelength of the tunable receiver is changed to a downstream wavelength of another channel.
