FRAME CONVERSION-BASED MID-SPAN EXTENDER, AND METHOD OF FRAME CONVERSION-BASED MID-SPAN EXTENDER FOR SUPPORTING G-PON SERVICE IN XG-PON LINK

摘要

A frame conversion-based mid-span extender includes: a 10-Gigabit-capable Optical Network Unit (XG-ONU) optical module configured to transmit and receive a wavelength signal of a 10-Gigabit-capable Optical Line Terminal (XG-OLT); a frame converter configured to perform conversion between a 10-Gigabit-capable Passive Optical Network (XG-PON) frame and a Gigabit-capable Passive Optical Network (G-PON) frame; and an Optical Line Terminal (OLT) enabled to transmit and receive a wavelength of an Optical Network Unit (ONU).
