Abstract:
Provided is a method of saving power in a passive optical network (PON) system including an optical line terminal (OLT) and a plurality of optical network units (ONUs), the OLT including an optical transceiver to communicate with at least one ONU through an optical line, and a controller to control the optical transceiver to transmit an upstream bandwidth map to the ONU at a predetermined transmission interval, wherein the transmission interval is determined based on a desired upstream data service delay time.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for monitoring an optical line is provided. The optical line monitoring apparatus may include a comparison unit to extract first identification information about an optical network terminal (ONT) from reflected data that is reflected and received from the optical line, and to compare the extracted first identification information to predetermined second identification information about the ONT, and a processor to analyze a state of the optical line using the reflected data when the first identification information is identical to the second identification information.
Abstract:
An optical network system for controlling a passive optical network (PON) in which at least one symmetric optical subscriber terminal and at least one asymmetric optical subscriber terminal coexist is provided.
