Demonstration of ONU Activation for In-Service TDM-PON Allowing Uninterrupted Low-Latency Transport Links
01 January 2019
We propose an upstream-traffic-disruption-free ONU activation method enabling low-latency services over TDM-PON. We demonstrate ranging using only 5-microsec-long empty window independent from fiber length, a significant improvement over 250 or 450-microsec quiet windows required in conventional ranging.
