Abstract:
1. A method for operating a passive optical network user terminal, comprising: configuring a determining condition for entering into a saving state for the passive optical network user terminal; wherein the determining condition for entering into a saving state is a traffic threshold or an activity indication of a service port; detecting if the state of the passive optical network user terminal matches the determining condition for entering into a saving state, and sending a request for entering into a saving state to an optical line terminal if the determining condition is matched, by the passive optical network user terminal; wherein the request message includes saving state parameters; wherein the saving state parameters comprise a saving state operating time and a normal state operating time; and after receiving a response accepting the request from the optical line terminal, controlling part of internal modules to enter into a saving state and switching between the saving state and a normal state intermittently, by the passive optical network user terminal.
