Disclosed is a low power optical network terminal (ONT) and a method of operating the low power ONT. The low power ONT may include a network media access control (MAC) processing unit to transmit and receive traffic to and from an optical line terminal (OLT), a switching unit to receive the traffic transmitted from the network MAC processing unit and transmit the traffic to a subscriber terminal and to receive the traffic from the subscriber terminal and transmit the traffic to the OLT, and a control unit to control traffic transmission from the network MAC processing unit when a power mode is a low power mode.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for managing a dynamic bandwidth allocation to support a low-power mode, in a passive optical network (PON) are provided. The apparatus may include a power saving mode managing unit to manage a power saving mode of at least one optical network unit (ONU), a bandwidth allocation parameter storage unit to store a bandwidth allocation parameter used for a power saving mode, and to maintain the stored bandwidth allocation parameter, and a dynamic bandwidth allocating unit to provide bandwidth allocation information to the at least one ONU, when the stored bandwidth allocation parameter is received.

Abstract:
A dynamic bandwidth allocation apparatus of a passive optical network detects guarantee agreement information of each transmission container (T-CONT) queue of at least one optical network unit (ONU) that is connected to the dynamic bandwidth allocation apparatus in order to dynamically allocate a bandwidth is provided. The dynamic bandwidth allocation apparatus sets a queue threshold according to a buffer size of each T-CONT queue of at least one ONU, and calculates a service level agreement (SLA) parameter of at least one ONU using guarantee agreement information and a queue threshold. The dynamic bandwidth allocation apparatus allocates a bandwidth for every frame of each ONU using each SLA parameter of at least one ONU.

Abstract:
A method and apparatus of detecting a rogue optical network unit (ONU) is provided. An optical line terminal (OLT) detects an abnormal upstream transmission to determine a plurality of rogue ONU candidates, and transmits a sleep allow message instructing a transition to a sleep mode to each of the plurality of rogue ONU candidates. The OLT detects the rogue ONU among the plurality of rogue ONU candidates based on upstream transmissions from the plurality of rogue ONU candidates in the sleep mode. Since the detection of the rogue ONU is performed in the sleep mode, the remaining ONUs can transition from the sleep mode to the normal mode after the detection of the rogue ONU is completed, thereby making it possible to rapidly resume upstream communication.
Abstract:
Provided is an optical line terminator (OLT) to recover packet data and a clock from an optical signal including a silent interval. The OLT may receive packet data and a clock from at least one optical network unit (ONU). Even in a silent interval in which the at least one ONU does not transmit packet data, the OLT may successfully recover the clock.
