  • Publication number: 20110270985
    Abstract: An open access node receives a dynamic IP address corresponding to a terminal that requests a connection from a specific server, and provides the dynamic IP address to the terminal. Next, the open access node receives a service that is requested by a user from the terminal that is connected using the dynamic IP address, and stores a MAC address of the terminal and a service in a database. When the terminal again requests a connection, the open access node identifies a service that is requested by a user of the terminal based on the MAC address of the terminal.

  • Patent number: 7787771
    Abstract: Provided are extendable loop-back passive optical network (PON) and scheduling method and apparatus for the same. The loop-back type PON includes an OLT (optical line terminal) including a wavelength-tunable optical transmitter and a wavelength-locked optical receiver, and an RN (remote node) including an optical coupler/splitter, the optical coupler/splitter receiving optical signals from the wavelength-tunable optical transmitter and splitting the optical signals by wavelength so as to transmit the optical signals to corresponding ONTs (optical network terminals). Each of the ONTs transmits upstream data to the OLT using the same wavelength as the wavelength of the optical signal received from the OLT through the RN. Since the optical network makes use of the TDM and WDM communication schemes, the optical network can be maintained and upgraded at lower cost.
