Abstract:
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for reducing jitter and latency in a PON. In one aspect, an optical network unit includes a downstream optical receiver configured to receive downstream traffic over a first wavelength; a first upstream optical transmitter having a first data rate; a second upstream optical transmitter having a second data rate that is higher than the first data rate; and a controller configured to direct upstream traffic to one of the first upstream optical transmitter or the second upstream optical transmitter depending on a traffic type of the traffic. Traffic having a control plane traffic type is directed to the first upstream optical transmitter and traffic having a data plane traffic type is directed to the second upstream optical transmitter.

Claim (Index 18):
A method performed by an ONU, comprising:\n during activation of the ONU:\n receiving downstream control plane traffic from the OLT over a downstream traffic wavelength using a downstream receiver; and \n transmitting, to an OLT and independent of a quiet period, upstream control plane traffic over a fixed control plane upstream wavelength rather than a fixed data plane upstream wavelength using a control plane transmitter; \n after activation of the ONU:\n receiving downstream data plane traffic over the downstream traffic wavelength using the downstream receiver; and \n transmitting, to the OLT, upstream data plane traffic over the data plane upstream wavelength rather than the control plane wavelength using a data plane transmitter.
