PASSIVE OPTICAL NETWORK DIGITAL SUBSCRIBER LINE CONVERGENCE ARCHITECTURE

摘要

A method of communicating using an optical line terminal (OLT), the method comprising acquiring encapsulated data by a digital subscriber line (DSL) physical media specific transmission convergence (PMS-TC) sublayer from a protocol specific transmission convergence (TPS-TC) sublayer, and framing the encapsulated data into a frame by the PMS-TC sublayer for transmission to a corresponding PMS-TC sublayer in a customer premises equipment (CPE).
