Abstract

See full text

A TPON network in which the multiframe format includes a control portion, and a traffic portion. In the control portion the control word for each outstation is in the form of a respective group of contiguous bits. In the traffic portion, which is constituted by a series of traffic frames, the traffic information in each traffic frame for each outstation is in the form of a respective group of contiguous bits. Such a multiframe format enables the use of single-transducer transceiver in the outstations, and compared with known TPON multiframe formats increases the maximum operating range for the network beyond which transmit/receive conflict will occur.
