Disclosed are a function split structure for a mobile convergence optical transmission network and a method of providing coordinated multi-point technology using the same. The mobile convergence optical transmission network may include a centralized unit (CU), a distributed unit (DU) connected to the CU, a transport node (TN) of an optical transmission network connected to the DU via a first interface, an aggregated unit (AU) connected to a transport unit (TU) of the optical transmission network via the first interface, and a radio unit (RU) connected to the AU via a second interface corresponding to a split structure for a lower layer than the first interface.
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.

Provided are an apparatus and a method for allocating a bandwidth for providing a low-latency fronthaul service in a passive optical network. An bandwidth allocating method performed by a bandwidth allocating apparatus included in an OLT includes receiving an actual report message requesting bandwidth allocation from at least one ONU for wired subscribers connected to the OLT, receiving radio scheduling information for at least one ONU for mobile connected to the OLT from a central unit (CU)/digital unit (DU), generating a virtual report message using the radio scheduling information received from the CU/DU, allocating a transmission bandwidth for the at least one ONU for wired subscribers and the at least one ONU for mobile through the received actual report message and the generated virtual report message, and transmitting the allocated transmission bandwidth to the ONU for wired subscribers and the ONU for mobile using a grant message.
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:
Wavelength channels used in the optical network system are classified into downstream channels used to transmit optical signals from an optical line terminal (OLT) to an optical network unit (ONU) and upstream channels that are used to transmit optical signals from the ONU to the OLT. The wavelength channels are included in an O-band and may not overlap each other. One of the upstream channels are allocated to a wavelength band (for example, a zero-dispersion window) in which a four-wave mixing occurs. A wavelength spacing between the upstream channels and the downstream channels is determined based on a performance of separating the upstream channels and the downstream channels in a bidirectional optical sub assembly (BOSA) of the ONU. Also, a wavelength spacing between the downstream channels is determined based on a performance of separating the downstream channels in the BOSA.
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:

The method includes identifying network elements included in a plurality of physical passive optical networks (pPONs), abstracting the identified network elements so that the identified network elements are recognized as the same software (SW) block, generating a plurality of PON slices by performing PON slicing on the abstracted network elements in accordance with a predetermined reference, and generating a plurality of virtual PONs (vPONs) by mapping the plurality of PON slices to at least one network element. The predetermined reference is determined on the basis of an attribute of at least one of ports and transmission containers (T-CONTs) corresponding to the identified network elements, and the at least one network element includes an optical network unit (ONU).
