Ethernet PON은 다수의 ONU(Optical Network Unit)가 하나의 OLT(Optical Line Terminator)를 공유하는 구조이며 수동 분배기를 사용하여 여러 가입자간 신호를 결합·다중화하여 고속 기간망에 전달하는 가입자망 기술이다. Ethernet PON에서 다수의 ONU들이 하나의 OLT로 정보를 전송하기 위해서는 ONU들이 먼저 등록이 되어야 한다. OLT가 등록을 허용하는 정보를 보내면 ONU가 등록을 시도하는데, 이 때 다수의 ONU가 시도를 하게 되면 충돌이 발생할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 ONU의 초기 등록 과정과, ALOHA 프로토콜을 이용하여 ONU들이 등록을 시도할 때, 충돌 없이 등록을 성공적으로 수행하기 위해 필요한 프레임 수를 분석하였다. 초기 등록에서의 성공률을 검증하기 위하여 시뮬레이션을 실시하여 수학적 분석의 타당성을 확인할 수 있었다.

When optical signal power of ONU differs from each other the requirements of an OLT receiver becomes strict and the stable operation of a total PON system can't be obtained. To solve this problem each ONU channel's signal power is measured at the OLT side and control signals to equalize them are generated and sent to each ONU. The proposed scheme is tested after implementation A digital APC circuit is proposed and tested so that it can start or stop LD operation without delay. It helps other ONU to transmit signals without interference and to reduce consuming power.

In the ATM-PON (Asynchronous Transfer Mode-Passive Optical Network), the downstream cell transmitted by an OLT is broadcast to all ONUs. The ONU receives selectively its own cells by VP filtering. On the other hand, the upstream cell can be transmitted by ONU in the case of receiving a grant from the OLT. After providing the grant to an ONU, the OLT expects the arrival of a cell after an elapse of the equalized round trip delay. ITU-T G.983.1 recommends that one bit error is allowed between the expected arrival time and the actual arrival time at the OLT. Because the ONU processes the different delay to each type of grant (ranging, user cell, and mimi-slot grant), it is not simple to design the transmission part of ONU. In this paper, we implement a grant processor which provides the delay accurately in the ONU TC chip with the FPGA. For the given equalized delay, it deals with the delay for the cell, the byte, and the bit unit by using the shift register, the byte counter, and the D flip-flop, respectively. We verify the operation of the grant processor by the time simulation and the measurement of the optical board output.

This paper proposes a new dynamic bandwidth allocation algorithm for an XG-PON (10-Gbps-capable passive optical network) system in which an ONU (optical network unit) does not explicitly send its request to an OLT (optical line termination). To estimate the request of the ONU, the OLT monitors the upstream bandwidth usage of the ONU and periodically allocates a probe slot to the ONU.

EPONs are a low cost, high speed solution to the bottleneck problem of broadband access networks. To support point-to-point and shared LAN emulation, EPONs use the multi-point control protocol (MPCP), which uses logical link identification (LLID) for frame tagging and filtering between the OLT and ONUs. In this paper, ONU-based multicast or multiple shared LAN emulation is used for IPTV channel package delivery services. Using ONU-based VLAN services, EPONs can support separate and secure connections between providers and subscribers in a simple manner. Also, IPTV channel packages can be delivered through EPONs by implementing ONU-based VLAN and IGMP snooping mechanisms. By showing fast channel zapping time of proposed architecture, I show that EPONs is suitable for IPTV channel package delivery service.

We propose and demonstrate an efficient power-saving optical network unit (ONU) based on upstream traffic monitoring for 10-Gb/s wavelength division multiplexed passive optical networks (WDM-PONs). The power-saving mode controller uses a ${\mu}$-processor and traffic monitoring modules followed by the proposed power-saving processes to operate the sleep mode ONU. The power consumption of the ONU is effectively reduced from 19.3 W to 6.4 W when no traffic from the users is detected. In addition, we design a power-saving mechanism based on a cyclic sleep mode operation to allow a connectivity check between the optical line terminal and ONU. Our calculation results show that the WDM-PON ONU reduces the power consumption by around 60% using the proposed mechanism.

최근 가입자 망에서 다양한 멀티미디어 서비스를 저가이면서 간단한 망구조를 갖고 확장성이 뛰어나며 데이터, 음성, 비디오 서비스를 효율적으로 수용할 수 있는 EPON 기술이 요구되고있다. EPON은 하나의 OLT와 다수의 ONU가 PTMP 구조로 연결된다. OLT는 백본망에 연결되고, ONU는 가입자에 연결된다. 하나의 ONU 가 트래픽을 전달하기 위해서는 OLT 로부터 타임 슬롯을 할당 받는다. 따라서 주어진 타임슬롯에 IDLE 구간 없이 최대한으로 전송대역을 이용하기 위해서는 ONU 내에 트래픽 동적 스케줄러가 요구된다. 또한 다양한 어플리케이션의 요구를 지원하기 위해 스케줄러는 CoS가 지원되어야 한다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 OLT와의 Auto-discovery, Laser_On/OFF기능 등 가입자에게 EPON 기능을 제공하며, 다양한 서비스를 제공하도록 CoS 기반 스케줄러를 수용한 EPON ONU 의 MPCP(Multi-point Control protocol)를 구현하였다.

TDM-PON has a disadvantage that entire PON system gets into trouble when only one ONU is out of order and sends optical signal constantly. This paper suggests a scheme to find the fault location. TDMA is impossible when upstream traffic is interrupted by continuous wave signal from a troubled ONU. Therefore, CDMA coding is introduced in separating fault ONUs, and detection algorithm is verified.

Recently, as the interest in Green IT is exponentially increased, EPON with sleep mode has been studied to reduce energy consumption in access network. In oder to guarantee cyclic sleep for ONU(Optical Network Units), EPON with sleep mode transmits upstream and downstream data at the same time. However, since conventional algorithms for sleep mode in EPON allocate bandwidth to each ONU according to upstream bandwidth request, the QoS of downstream data is not guaranteed when the offered load of OLT is larger than that of ONU. In this paper, we propose a bandwidth allocation algorithm for improving QoS in EPON with sleep mode. The proposed algorithm compares its size with an upstream request of ONU when a downstream buffer in the OLT exceeds a QoS threshold. And then it allocates selectively a bandwidth that satisfies the required QoS between the bandwidth request of ONU and OLT. Therefore, the proposed algorithm can save energy through cyclic sleep of ONUs while guaranteeing the QoS of up/downstream data. In order to evaluate the proposed algorithm, we perform simulation in terms of total sleep time of ONUs, queueing delay between OLT and ONU, and the utilization of allocated bandwidth at OLT through OPNET.
