Method and scheduler for grouped transmission containers in passive optical network

摘要

Dynamic Bandwidth Assignment (DBA) scheme for providing group assured bandwidth to a subset of Optical Network Units (ONU) in a Passive Optical Network (PON). Scheduling bandwidth in the PON, which comprises a plurality of ONUs configured to deliver a data service, comprising grouping connections from different ONUs as a group and assigning to a single entity the combined bandwidth from each ONU, such that the amount of bandwidth needed to perform a task at an individual ONU is shared.
