Abstract:
There are provided a method of allocating upstream bandwidth resources and a method of transmitting upstream data in an orthogonal frequency division multiple access-open optical subscriber network. The method of allocating an upstream bandwidth resource according to an embodiment of the invention includes receiving queue status information from each optical network unit (ONU), and allocating an upstream bandwidth by providing to each ONU a 2-D upstream bandwidth map on a subcarrier-time resource through a frame synchronized at constant cycles, based on the queue status information received from each ONU.
