Provided is a method of saving power in a passive optical network (PON) system including an optical line terminal (OLT) and a plurality of optical network units (ONUs), the OLT including an optical transceiver to communicate with at least one ONU through an optical line, and a controller to control the optical transceiver to transmit an upstream bandwidth map to the ONU at a predetermined transmission interval, wherein the transmission interval is determined based on a desired upstream data service delay time.

Method of controlling optical network unit (ONU) in sleep mode

An optical network system for controlling a passive optical network (PON) in which at least one symmetric optical subscriber terminal and at least one asymmetric optical subscriber terminal coexist is provided.

Optical network system and method for controlling optical network system

A Passive Optical Network (PON)-based system and method for providing handover between Optical Network Terminals (ONTs) are provided. The PON-based system may include an Optical Line Terminal (OLT), and an ONT to relay communication between the OLT and a mobile terminal. When the mobile terminal is connected to the ONT, the ONT may transmit a WiFi location update alarm message to the OLT, and the OLT may update a Look-Up Table (LUT) in response to the WiFi location update alarm message.

Passive optical network (PON)-based system and method for providing handover among optical network terminals (ONTs)

An apparatus and method for monitoring an optical line is provided. The optical line monitoring apparatus may include a comparison unit to extract first identification information about an optical network terminal (ONT) from reflected data that is reflected and received from the optical line, and to compare the extracted first identification information to predetermined second identification information about the ONT, and a processor to analyze a state of the optical line using the reflected data when the first identification information is identical to the second identification information.

Apparatus and method for monitoring optical line

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.

Method and apparatus for burst mode clock and data recovery

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.

Apparatus and method for managing dynamic bandwidth allocation to support low-power mode in passive optical network (PON)

An optical subscriber network for power reduction is provided. The optical subscriber network may include an Optical Line Terminal (OLT) and an Optical Network Terminal (ONT). The OLT may manage a plurality of ONTs by classifying the plurality of ONTs into a sleep group, and may multicast a sleep allowance message only to ONTs included in a predetermined sleep group.

Optical subscriber network

A method of transmitting an Operations, Administration and Maintenance (OAM) message and of processing an error in a Passive Optical Network (PON) system is provided. Using an OAM packet format that may be used in common in the PON system, a process of transmitting or receiving an OAM message may be simplified, an efficiency of the process may be increased, and an Optical Network Unit (ONU) may be managed at a high speed.
