Patent number: 7039066Abstract: A dynamic bandwidth assignment system includes a network unit for carrying out cell slot assignment, and a network termination for transmitting cells to the network unit by means of cell slots assigned by the network unit. When the number of consecutive valid cells the network unit receives from the network terminations exceeds a predetermined threshold value, the network unit increases the number of the cell slots to be assigned to the network termination. The system can solve a problem of a conventional system in that it is unavoidable that a cell transfer delay and a bursting tendency of cells are statistically increased.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2001Date of Patent: May 2, 2006Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Takamasa Suzuki, Minoru Akita, Yoshihiro Asashiba, Seiji Kozaki, Tetsuya Yokotani

Patent number: 7020162Abstract: An optical distribution network system includes an OLT; a plurality of ONUs; a first optical network and a second optical network, one of which connects the OLT with the plurality of ONUs; and a bandwidth controller. The bandwidth controller apportions the plurality of ONUs between the first optical network and the second optical network, assigns a predetermined transmission bandwidth to each of the plurality of ONUs, and accepts a bandwidth change of the transmission bandwidth. It solves a problem of a conventional optical distribution network system in that the maximum bandwidth available by DBA (dynamic bandwidth assignment) is equal to the total transmission bandwidth of working side minus the sum total of the minimum cell rates of the ONUs, and hence it cannot secure a large usable bandwidth for DBA, when congestion of bandwidth increase takes place among the plurality of ONUs.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2001Date of Patent: March 28, 2006Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Mitsuyoshi Iwasaki, Toshikazu Yoshida, Yoshihiro Asashiba, Hiroshi Ichibangase

Publication number: 20020030865Abstract: An optical distribution network system includes an optical line termination and a plurality of optical network units. The optical line termination monitors a system switching request transmitted from each of the optical network units, and controls the switching between the working side and the standby side system of the optical network unit. It can solve a problem of a conventional system in that if the working side an optical network unit fails, and when its standby side is normal, even if the standby side of the other optical network units has a failure, they are switched from the working side to the standby side, thereby worsening the total system operation.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2001Publication date: March 14, 2002Applicant: MITSUBISHI DENKI KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Ryusuke Kawate, Toshikazu Yoshida, Yoshihiro Asashiba, Mitsuyoshi Iwasaki, Hiroshi Ichibangase

Publication number: 20020006111Abstract: A slot allocation among child station devices is determined in a communication control device, and slot allocation information is sent as a downward signal to the child station devices. In each child station device, upwards packets are inserted into slots of an upward signal according to the slot allocation information, and the upward signal is sent from the child station devices to the communication control device. In the communication control device, it is checked whether or not upward packets exist in slots of the upward signal. Also, one child station device relating to slots of the upward signal currently received is identified according to a preset delay time for each child station device and a current time, the number of slots allowed for the identified child station device is detected according to the slot allocation information.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 6, 2001Publication date: January 17, 2002Applicant: MITSUBISHI DENKI KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Minoru Akita, Yoshihiro Asashiba, Takamasa Suzuki
