    摘要: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system for accommodating time-division multiplexing (TDM) traffic in an Ethernet passive optical network (EPON). During operation, the system receives data from an upstream TDM channel at a remote node and stores received data in a segmentation buffer. The system encapsulates the data stored in the segmentation buffer into a packet. The system receives a message from the central node granting a TDM transmission window starting at a designated time. The system further communicates the packet to an upstream transmission mechanism within the remote node before the designated time, and transmits to the central node an upstream frame containing the packet at the designated time.

    摘要: One embodiment of the present invention provides an optical line terminal (OLT) in an Ethernet passive optical network (EPON). The OLT includes a number of bi-direction optical transceivers. At least one bi-direction optical transceiver is coupled to an optical network unit (ONU) group that includes a number of ONUs. The OLT further includes a first downstream media access control (MAC) interface configured to provide a first downstream control signal and a splitter configured to split the first downstream control signal to a number of sub-signals. At least one sub-signal is configured to control downstream transmission of a corresponding bi-direction optical transceiver to a corresponding ONU-group.

    摘要: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that accommodates different clock frequencies in an EPON. The system receives a signal from the OLT at the ONU and derives an OLT clock. The system also maintains a local clock. The system further receives from the OLT an assignment for an upstream transmission window, during which the ONU can transmit an upstream data burst to the OLT based on the local clock. The system adjusts the number of bits of the data burst without affecting the payload data carried in the data burst, thereby allowing the data burst to fit properly within the upstream transmission window and compensating for frequency differences between the local clock and the OLT clock. The system transmits the data burst based on the local clock in the upstream transmission window.

    摘要: One embodiment of the present invention provides a method for facilitating asymmetric line rates in an Ethernet passive optical network (EPON) which includes a central node and at least one remote node. During operation, the system provides a downstream code-group clock, wherein each cycle thereof corresponds to a code group transmitted from the central node to a remote node. The system also provides an upstream code-group clock, wherein each cycle thereof corresponds to a code group received at the central node from a remote node. In addition, the system provides a multi-point control protocol (MPCP) clock, wherein the frequency ratio of the MPCP clock to the downstream code-group clock is different from the frequency ratio of the MPCP clock to the upstream code-group clock, thereby allowing the downstream transmission to be performed at a faster line rate than the upstream transmission line rate.
