Abstract:
PURPOSE: A channel concentrating method for interlinking a physical layer device and a link layer device is provided to improve a problem that low speed channels is not linked with high speed channels. CONSTITUTION: A new payload is generated by combining a payload of a physical layer device(1100) and payload control channel information and is transmitted to a payload field of a link layer device. The payload control channel information received in the physical layer device is transformed through a channel concentrating unit within a channel concentrating device and is transmitted to payload control information of the link layer device. Physical layer transmission control channel information loaded in the payload field received to the link layer device is extracted, and a newly generated payload is transmitted to the payload field of the physical layer device.

Abstract:
PURPOSE: A protection apparatus and method for an optical network unit in a passive optical network are provided to conveniently recover the failure happening in an optical distribution device or an optical line. CONSTITUTION: An optical signal transceiver(110) receives a down-stream of an optical line terminal through a protection switching optical distribution network or a main optical distribution network. An up-stream of an optical network unit is received through a main optical distribution network or the protection switching optical distribution network. An optical signal controller(120) detects whether or not the down-stream or up-stream of the optical subscription terminal has failure. When the failure happens, the down-stream or the up-stream is transmitted thorugh the protection switching optical distribution network.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: An apparatus and a method for recovering received data for a PON system are provided to increase an effective band by minimizing a protection interval between a preamble and an ONT in a GPON system. CONSTITUTION: An assignment band management unit(50) allocates start time information of an uplink transport frame to an optical line terminal. A reference time generating unit(52) includes a timer for confirming an expected arrival reference time of the uplink transmission frame. A comparing unit(54) compares the start time of the uplink transmission frame and the estimated arrival reference time. If the those two times are identical to each other, a reset signal generation unit(56) generates a reset signal. The reset signal generation unit provides an optical receives with the generated reset signal.
Abstract:
An apparatus and a method for assigning a dynamic bandwidth for an optical network are provided to improve the efficiency of uplink bandwidth usage by using both of SLA information and wait state information of each T-CONT and calculate an uplink bandwidth allocation amount per each frame by reducing a processing rate when calculating a bandwidth allocation amount of each T-CONT. An SLA(Service Level Agreement) parameter storage(301) stores band allocation period and allocation amount information of each class queue calculated based on SLA. An allocation check storage(302) checks a band allocation period of class queue belonging to a corresponding type according to a service type of each class queue based on the information stored in the SLA parameter storage, and stores information used for determining a band allocation amount. A band allocation calculator(303) checks an allocation period per each frame by using the information stored in the allocation check storage, and calculates a bandwidth allocation amount of class queues as the allocation period. A final band allocation unit(305) records a band allocation amount of each class queue, calculated by the band allocation calculator, in real time. In consideration of factors including frame overhead, the final band allocation unit calculates total bandwidth usage amount in real time. By comparing the total bandwidth usage amount with total uplink bandwidth value, the final band allocation unit finally allocates an uplink bandwidth for each class queue.

Abstract:
PURPOSE: A connection identifier interworking apparatus in an ATM switching system and a method therefor are provided to solve a problem of a traffic manager restricted in a range of VPI(Virtual Path Identifier) and VCI(Virtual Channel Identifier) fields by allowing the traffic manager to use a connection identifier created with VPI and VCI. CONSTITUTION: An origination OAM processor(521) generates an origination connection identifier(In_Contag) by using an input physical link number and an input VPI(In_VPI)/input VCI(In_VCI), converts a VPI field into '0' and VCI field into an origination connection identifier, and then, sends a cell to an origination traffic manager(522). Since the outputted cell is inputted to a destination traffic manager of a different giga-bit matching module through a switch module, the origination traffic manager(522) leaves the VPI field as '0' as it is, converts the VCI field from the origination connection identifier(In_Contag) into a destination identifier(Out_Contag), and then, transfers the cell to a switch matching unit(525).
Abstract:
PURPOSE: An apparatus and method for interfacing different types of back pressures are provided to interface an in-band type back pressure unit and an out-band type back pressure unit by converting an in-band type control signal to an out-band type control signal. CONSTITUTION: A synchronous signal generator(507) generates a clock required for restoring cell synchronization and a synchronous signal corresponding to a current synchronization state. A cell extracting unit(505) extracts a 4-byte cell header upon receiving a cell start signal of a cell consisting of 64 bytes. A cell reading unit(504) extracts FBPBITMAP(0:39) information and BPSYNC(0:3) information included in a header related to a 12-byte back pressure which has been inputted during 3 clocks from the cell start signal, and compares/reads the BPSYNC signal with the synchronous signal generated from the synchronous signal generator(507). An FBPBITMAP register(506) temporarily stores the FBPBITMAP information. An FBPBITMAP comparator(503) compares the FBPBITMAP information temporarily stored in the FBPBITMAP register(506) with the current FBPBITMAP information inputted from the cell reading unit(504). A back pressure storing unit(502) stores information on a logical port. An external signal generator(501) converts the information on the logical port to an external back pressure signal.
