Patent number: 7418009Abstract: A method of communicating through a passive optical network (PON) that improves the efficiency of the network with low cost child apparatuses having only simple functions. A parent apparatus provides the child apparatuses with a multi-frame standard signal, and a child apparatus transfers asynchronous information as a frame of variable length, as it is, at a time delayed from the multi-frame standard signal by a time period designated by the parent apparatus. Since the asynchronous information does not need to be divided into pieces to which a frame header is attached, the efficiency of the uplink channel is increased.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2002Date of Patent: August 26, 2008Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Susumu Tominaga, Masaharu Matsumoto, Takamitsu Shirai, Katsuhiko Hirashima, Kazuhiro Uchida, Kenichi Abe, Shigeharu Murakami, Miho Kawai, Kiyotaka Shikata

Patent number: 7415111Abstract: An optical network unit and an optical line terminal which efficiently control the data receiving and dechurning processes in a passive optical network. In a churning parameter memory subsystem, a first memory bank stores churning parameters that are currently used, while a second memory bank stores updates made to the churning parameters. Under the control of the churning parameter memory subsystem, those first and second memory banks change their roles with each other at a churning key updating time point. A data dechurning unit receives a data stream consisting of a plurality of frames and dechurns the information contained in the data stream, according to the stored churning parameters. When an update is done to the parameters in a certain frame, the data dechurning unit makes the update effective at the next frame, thus starting data dechurning operations from the next frame.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2004Date of Patent: August 19, 2008Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Takashi Monzawa, Kenji Miura, Tamotsu Matsuo, Hideki Shiono, Yoshimi Toyoda, Toshinori Koyanagi, Setsuo Abiru, Jun Asato, Shinichi Fujiyoshi, Kazuhiro Uchida, Kazuya Ryu, Katsuhiko Hirashima, Tateo Shimaru, Mitsuharu Wakayoshi, Toshiyuki Sakai

Patent number: 7177326Abstract: In a communication system comprising a network unit and a plurality of subscriber units connected to the network unit, the network unit generates a message in which validity of transmission grant information is set for the subscriber units, and suspends a transmission of polling information to allocate a transmission grant to the subscriber units by using the transmission grant information for a fixed time in consideration of a processing time of the subscriber units from a time when the message has been completely transmitted. Also, when a disconnection state of an inputted cell from the subscriber units is detected, the network unit may suspend an input disconnection detecting operation for a fixed time from a time when the message and the polling information have been completely transmitted. Furthermore, a switchover of an input disconnection detection/transmission grant information may be suspended by mutually exchanging messages.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2002Date of Patent: February 13, 2007Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Masamichi Kasa, Setsuo Abiru, Toshinori Koyanagi, Toshiyuki Sakai, Kazuhiro Uchida

Publication number: 20050058071Abstract: An optical access system that sends packets in a given time slot more efficiently without wasting bandwidth. The uplink channel from slave devices to a master device is divided into time slots. The sending slave device reads out upstream packets from its send packet buffer when an assigned time slot comes. If the maximum frame size is reached in the middle of a packet, the slave device suspends further reading until a next assigned time slot comes. The packets are sent to the master device, each being set off by a start and end delimiters. Detection of a start delimiter causes the master device to begin writing each received data word into a receive packet buffer, which is terminated by the end delimiter of that packet. Received packets are retrieved from their memory locations specified by a read address that includes the sender's slave device number.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 3, 2003Publication date: March 17, 2005Inventors: Katsuhiko Hirashima, Kazuhiro Uchida, Masamichi Kasa, Susumu Tominaga

Patent number: 6728248Abstract: An optical line terminal which sends and receives messages or data to/from optical network units (ONUs) connected thereto. A cyclic message monitor produces a trigger signal, for use in a PLOAM grant generator, at certain intervals in harmonization with upstream messages that a specific optical network unit regularly transmits. A downstream message monitor watches outgoing downstream messages to detect a certain message requesting an ONU to return a response, and it triggers the PLOAM grant generator if such a message is detected. An upstream message monitor detects an upstream message whose identification code indicates that the sending ONU has no information to return. If such an upstream message is found, it limits the issuance of PLOAM grants to that optical network unit. The PLOAM grant generator produces PLOAM grants which permit ONUs to transmit their messages, and sends them out through a PLOAM cell transmitter.Type: GrantFiled: February 29, 2000Date of Patent: April 27, 2004Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Kazuhiro Uchida, Kazuya Ryu, Kanna Okamura, Masashi Shibata, Shinichi Fujiyoshi, Katsuhiko Hirashima, Toshinori Koyanagi, Toshiyuki Sakai, Setsuo Abiru
