Abstract
An ONU includes a CDR that regenerates a clock based on a signal from an OLT, an oscillator that generates an internal clock, a time stamp counter that manages a time of the ONU based on the clock in a period in which the CDR regenerates the clock and manages the time of the ONU based on the internal clock in a period in which the CDR does not regenerate the clock, an MPCP control unit that decides, when a Cyclic Sleep mode is set, a receiver-time synchronization time that is a period in which the receiver is normally operated within a sleep time, based on a difference between a time stamp value included in the signal transmitted from the OLT and a time stamp managed by the time stamp counter, and a power-saving control unit that controls the receiver to be normally operated in the receiver-time synchronization time.
