Abstract:
PURPOSE: A data transmission system in E-PON(Ethernet-Passive Optical Network), a transmitting method thereof, and a recording medium for storing a transmission program are provided to sort and multiplex frames by controlling a data transmission process in the E-PON to ONU(Optical Network Unit) or ONT(Optical Network Termination) to OLT(Optical Line Termination). CONSTITUTION: A parser(210) is used for sorting frames of each block and transmitting the sorted frames to the corresponding blocks. A scheduler(220) is used for multiplexing the frames and decides a transmission order within a permitted transmission period of an OLT. An MPCP(Multi-Point Control Protocol) slave(230) is used for processing transmission messages of the OLT and generating the response messages of the transmission messages to maintain a time synchronization period of the OLT. A processor interface(240) is used for transmitting the transmission frames of the OLT to a processor, framing transmission primitives of the processor, and transmitting the transmission primitives to the OLT. A register(250) is used for storing frame generation values, system control values, and values obtained from an MPCP control frame.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A message structure for an SNMP network management agent function and a message structure therefor are provided to be independently implemented from a management target system, and to use an object identifier defined in a standard MIB(Management Information Base) with the same transceiving message structure, thereby reducing development periods of the agent function. CONSTITUTION: Header information consists of MIB identifier(22), group table identifier(23), object identifier(24), and message identifier(25) fields. A data information packet includes a data field supplied from a system relating to a kind of the object identifier(24) of the header information. The MIB identifier field(22) shows an RFC(Request For Comments) number of an SNMP. The group table identifier field(23) shows information on a group and a table defined in an MIB. The object identifier field(24) shows an identifier for an object used as an object identifier defined in the MIB. The message identifier field(25) shows information on a kind of a PDU and a processed result of a system manager.

PURPOSE: A digital broadcasting system for a passive optical network(PON) is provided to receive digital broadcasting by using an existing Ethernet network and an Ethernet PON access network and apply an ONU(Optical Network Unit) located at the region which is crowded with users densely to the digital broadcasting. CONSTITUTION: An ONU(400) is comprised of a WDM(Wavelength Division Multiplexing) filter(403), a physical layer and an MAC(Medium Access Protocol) layer of an E-PON(404), an Ethernet switch(405), a physical layer and a broadcasting MAC layer of an E-PON(406), a digital broadcasting processing unit(409) and a channel requisition processing unit(410). The ONU(400) functions as a matching unit of an OLT(Optical Line Terminal) and a splitter(350) for transmitting digital broadcasting Ethernet frame and data Ethernet frame which have other wavelengths through one line. Data Ethernet frame is inputted to the Ethernet switch(405) through the physical layer and the MAC layer of the E-PON(404). Digital broadcasting Ethernet frame is changed into the MPEG stream type through the physical layer and the broadcasting MAC layer of the E-PON(406) and then inputted to the digital broadcasting processing unit(409).
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A network management device using a dynamic updating of an MIB(Management Information Base) bundle of an SNMP(Simple Network Management Protocol) agent and a method thereof are provided to receive an MIB bundle from a network management server to dynamically collect new management information, and to inform the network management server of a network failure, thereby efficiently managing a network. CONSTITUTION: A network management server(20) obtains authentication for a transmission right of an MIB bundle(14) from a remote SNMP agent(11), transmits the MIB bundle(14) for dynamically collecting new management information to the SNMP agent(11), receives management information on a network from the SNMP agent(11), and manages the network. A network device(10) performs an authentication process for the transmission right of the MIB bundle(14), dynamically updates the MIB bundle(14), dynamically collects the management information, and transmits the collected information to the network management server(20).
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A device and a method for processing a distributed object using a priority succession technique are provided to change the priority of a server method according to a request of a client by succeeding the priority requested from the client to the priority of the server method. CONSTITUTION: A priority assigner assigns the priority to the method when the client(101) calls the method of a server object. An IDL(Interface Description Language) stub(102) and a middleware core(103) transfer the called method and the assigned priority to a server(107). A priority processor(104) executes the server object depending on the priority assigned from the client by converting the priority transferred from the IDL stub and the middleware core into a system priority, generating a thread having the system priority, and mapping the generated thread to the called method.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A device for processing an MPCP(Multi-Point Control Protocol) in an EPON(Ethernet Passive Optical Network) is provided to enable a CPU to transceive optional frames including an MPCP frame and to statically or dynamically assign a grant, thereby smoothly performing EPON communication. CONSTITUTION: A CPU interface(405) transceives data with an outer CPU. An SGA table memory(415) stores static grant assign tables. An RTT table memory(420) stores dynamic grant frames. Memory arbitration portions(410a,410b) control the memories(415,420). A static grant generator(425) periodically generates static grant frames. A dynamic grant generator(430) generates the dynamic grant frames. A static grant queue(435) stores the static grant frames. A dynamic grant queue(440) stores the dynamic grant frames. A transmission message queue(445) stores transmission message frames. A transmission multiplexer(450) selects one of the queues(435,440,445) to read the selected queue, and outputs contents of the read queue. A time setup portion(455) sets time information, and transmits Ethernet frames to an MAC transmitter according to the time information. A receiving demultiplexer(470) demultiplexes the Ethernet frames. A report queue(475) stores report information received from the receiving demultiplexer. A receiving message queue(480) stores the Ethernet frames.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: An UPnP(Universal Plug and Play) PLC(Power Line Communication) adapter and a method for controlling the same are provided to control PLC devices, which cannot support UPnP, through UPnP. CONSTITUTION: An UPnP PLC adapter(100) consists of a PLC command processing module, a PLC state receiving module, an UPnP discovery server module, an UPnP description server module, an UPnP control server module, and an UPnP event server module. The UPnP PLC adapter(100) makes a virtual PLC route device for PLC devices(500-530) on a PLC network and announces it to the UPnP CPs(Control Points)(200,210) of an UPnP network(300). The PLC command processing module sends a command to a PLC device and receives a response. The PLC state receiving module receives a state change from a PLC device. The UPnP discovery server module receives a search message from an UPnP CP and sends a response message for the virtual PLC route device. The UPnP description server module modifies the description of the virtual PLC route device in case that an additional PLC device is found out or an existing PLC device is removed. The UPnP control server module receives an UPnP control message from an UPnP CP and converts it into a relevant PLC command. The UPnP event server module receives an event registration request message from an UPnP CP and sends an associated response message.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A method and apparatus for dynamically allocating bands by service class are provided to ensure service quality by using ethernet frames for uplink/downlink transmission between ONU(Optical Network Unit) and OLT(Optical Line Terminator) and previously reserving an amount of requested band of each service class of the ONU. CONSTITUTION: When an MPCP(Multi-Point Control Protocol) allocator(210) receives an uplink report control message from a control layer(220), a class queue state calculator(212) discriminates ONUs and acquires length information of queues by class in the ONUs. When queue state information of every ONU is collected, a permission generator(211) generates bands by ONU and bands by service of the ONUs, and transmits downlink band allocation(GATE) control messages by ONU. An MPCP requester(230) receives the downlink band allocation(GATE) control message from an MAC control layer(240). A class buffer counter(232) counts length of buffers of each class of the ONUs, and a request generator(231) generates length information of buffers by class in the ONUs. The generated information is transmitted as an uplink report control message to the MAC control layer(240).
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A communication device for an EPON(Ethernet Passive Optical Network) is provided to support uplink/downlink priority-tagged frames, and to support a VLAN(Virtual LAN) multicast in a PON bridge function, thereby constructing a VLAN in the EPON as increasing link efficiency. CONSTITUTION: A PON bridge sub layer(100) comprises as follows. A reception output processor(101) reads data from a reception output queue(105), and changes 32-bit data into an 8-bit signal to transmit the data to a switch or NP(Network Processor)(10). If an overflow is generated in a transmission input queue(106), the reception output processor(101) receives a pause signal from the transmission input queue(106), and generates a pause frame to the switch or NP(10). If the overflow is not generated in the transmission input queue(106), the reception output processor(101) reads the frame, and transmits the frame to the switch or NP(10). The reception output processor(101) performs an FCS(Frame Check Sequence) generation process for the frame only when the pause frame is generated, and sends data to an SPI processor(105).
