Abstract: Examples relate to apparatuses, methods, and computer programs for a remote unit and a central unit of an optical line terminal. In particular, a central unit apparatus for an optical line terminal comprises one or more interfaces configured to communicate with one or more remote unit apparatuses via one or more communication links. The apparatus further comprises a processor configured to receive information on one or more upstream reports from the remote unit apparatuses, the upstream reports relate to one or more optical networks used by the remote unit apparatuses to communicate with a plurality of optical network users. The processor further determines information on bandwidth assignments for the plurality of optical network users based on the information on the one or more upstream reports and transmits the information on bandwidth assignments to the one or more remote unit apparatuses.

Abstract: A network infrastructure combining data over cable service interface specification (DOCSIS) cable modem management and 10 Gb passive optical network XGPON networking technology. The DOCSIS equipment controls restrict the XGPON to physical layer (layer 1) while the DOCSIS equipment operate at a data link layer and above.

Abstract: A system that utilizes data over cable service interface specification (DOCSIS) over passive optical networks is disclosed. An example system includes core system in a passive optical network (PON), comprising a memory; and one or more processors configured to generate a downlink (DL) data stream comprising optical signals, in compliance with a data over cable service interface specification (DOCSIS); and provide the optical signals containing DL data to a network component in the PON over an optical fiber coupled between the core system and the network component. In some embodiments, the core system is located at a head end equipment at the internet service provider's facility. However, in other embodiments, the core system can have a distributed architecture, with a part of the core system located at the internet service provider's facility and a different part of the core system located at a different location.
