Abstract:
1. A system to convert upstream burst mode data into continuous mode data in a passive optical network (PON), comprising: a burst mode Serializer/Deserializer (SerDes) configured to recover a clock and burst mode data from an Optical Network Unit (ONU) based on a start time of burst mode data transmission by the ONU and a round-trip time between the ONU and an Optical Line Terminal (OLT); and a continuous mode SerDes coupled to the burst mode SerDes and configured to receive the recovered clock and recovered burst mode data from the burst mode SerDes, convert the recovered burst mode data into continuous mode data by buffering and padding the recovered burst mode data based on the recovered clock and transmit the continuous mode data to the OLT.
