Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that facilitates dynamic allocation of upstream bandwidth in a passive optical network which includes a central node and at least one remote node. Each remote node is coupled to at least one logical entity, which corresponds to a device or a user, that transmits upstream data to the central node and receives downstream data from the central node. The central node is coupled to an external network outside of the passive optical network through a shared out-going uplink.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for scheduling a plurality of logical entities in a passive optical network to transmit upstream data, the method comprising: grouping, using a processor, ones of the plurality of logical entities in the passive optical network having a first-priority to form a first-priority level; assigning slots in a round-robin fashion to logical entities in the first-priority level to transmit upstream; and reserving one of the slots for lower-priority traf…
