Abstract: A Dynamic bandwidth allocation method using OLT (Optical Line Terminal) and ONU (Optical Network Unit) for use in GE-PON (Gigabit Ethernet Passive Optical Network) system is disclosed. The OLT's scheduler performs scheduling upon receiving multiple-queue request information contained in the REPORT message from the ONU, and transmits a combined scheduling result associated with one ONU using a GATE message. An ONU's scheduler performs scheduling upon receiving a bandwidth allocated by the OLT, and allocates a transfer bandwidth to its own queues.

Abstract: A method of controlling a loop-back process between a local device and a remote device in an Ethernet passive optical network simplifies the initiation and the termination processes for a loop-back process by avoiding the use of Operation, Administration and Maintenance—Packet Data Unit (OAM PDU) information along with a loop-back control OAM PDU. The method includes the steps of: (a) adding a predetermined field into a loop-back control OAM PDU in the loop-back process, the predetermined field having distinguishing messages for initiation of a loop-back process and messages for termination of a loop-back process; and (b) the local device and the remote device performing a loop-back process using the loop-back control OAM PDU.
