Abstract:
1. A method for generating a gigabit-capable passive optical network (GPON) encapsulation method (GEM) frame structure in a gigabit-capable passive optical network, the method comprising the steps of: i) receiving payload information of the GEM frame to provide a GEM control frame delivering management control information, ii) generating information representing data type information included in a payload according to payload information of the GEM frame, iii) including information generated in step ii) into a header of the GEM frame and generating a new GEM frame structure for determining a payload information of the GEM frame, through the header, wherein information representing data type information included in the payload represents a data type of a payload of the GEM frame, and the GEM frame is one of the control frame, a TDM (Time Division Multiplex) data frame, or an Ethernet data frame.
