Title: Innovations by Leopold Diouf
Introduction
Leopold Diouf is a notable inventor based in Raleigh, NC (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of telecommunications, particularly in the area of passive optical networks. With a total of 2 patents, his work has advanced the way video content is delivered over these networks.
Latest Patents
Diouf's latest patents include innovative methods for internet protocol video delivery in passive optical networks. This invention allows data representing video content to be distributed over a passive optical network (PON) on virtual channels. These channels are assigned to television (TV) channels as subscribers request them and are de-assigned when subscribers are no longer viewing. The process of associating and de-associating TV channels with virtual channels is performed with very low latency using a near-physical layer protocol, such as the Physical Layer Operation Administration and Maintenance (PLOAM) protocol.
Another significant patent involves deriving passive optical network port identifiers. This method identifies a M-bit multicast address and derives a N-bit PON port identifier from it. The identification and derivation are performed at an Optical Line Terminal (OLT) of a Passive Optical Network (PON). The N-bit PON port identifier has fewer bits than the M-bit multicast address, and the derivation includes mapping N−1 Least Significant Bits (LSB) of the M-bit multicast address to N−1 LSB of the N-bit PON port identifier.
