Abstract:
When dynamic wavelength bandwidth allocation using a fixed cycle such as a multiple request method is realized in wavelength tunable WDM/TDM-PON, there is required a wavelength switching method that can suppress a transmission delay of an uplink signal and an increase in burst characteristics, that is, suppress an increase in an allocation cycle to a minimum.An ONU requests a bandwidth of an uplink signal, and in accordance with this, an OLT calculates a time when the OLT transmits the uplink signal and a transmission duration time and performs an instruction, and a DBA cycle in which the ONU transmits the uplink signal in accordance with the instruction and a dynamic wavelength allocation cycle in which the OLT instructs wavelength switching, and the ONU switches the wavelength and belongs to a different LC are separated. While the ONU switches the wavelength, the DBA cycles can be performed plural times in the ONU whose wavelength is not switched, the switching of the wavelength is confirmed after the wavelength has been switched, and then DBA operation is performed at the switched wavelength.

Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to provide a position estimation system, a control device, a position estimation method, and a program which are capable of estimating a position of a sensor using existing lighting as it is. The position estimation system according to the present invention makes use of the fact that, when a pattern is sent from each light source at a separate frequency, the peak intensities thereof differ in accordance with a position of a sensor if the spectrum of the received signal light is plotted. That is to say, this position estimation system estimates the position of the sensor by comparing the peak intensity ratio of the spectrum when the light pattern from each light source is received and the theoretical peak intensity ratio which serves as a reference prepared in advance.
