Conclusions
The Role of the ITU in Standardization
• The International Telecommunication Union (www.itu.int),
– headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland,
– within United Nations System
– governments and the private sector members coordinate global
telecom networks and services.
– ITU-T Recommendations, such as G.982 (PON), G.983.x (BroadbandPON) and G.984.x (Gigabit-PON) are agreed by consensus and
provide a framework for the implementation.
– Question 2 on “Optical systems for fiber access networks” is the focus
of activity for PON systems in the ITU
• From an operator's perspective, cost reduction is the key
motivator for standards
– Interoperability and second sourcing are also important for a de-risking
the investment.
• From a vendor's perspective it is the assurance that
products will satisfy the needs of a world-wide market.

Fiber Access SystemsBT Perspective
• Fiber to the premises (P2P, from CO)
–
–
–
–
Existing deployment for businesses over 3km and 2 Mbit/s
Incremental deployment has high cost and long ‘lead’ times
Churn leads to stranded assets
Duct network insufficient for ubiquitous coverage
• While copper stays in place
• Fiber to the cabinet/VDSL2
–
–
–
–
In BT trials
Reuse of copper offers lower CapEx than FTTP
OpEx costs under investigation in trials
Capacity is reach dependent
• Subtended MSANs or Fiber could solve this
• CO fed fibers are most likely to be used
• Fiber to the premises (PON)
– G-PON (e.g. 2.4/1.2 Gbit/s), favoured for limited use in 21CN
– Lower CapEx and OpEx than (P2P) if deployed over whole areas
– PON/OLT can act as a traffic concentrator (QoS, possible)
Active Optical Networks (P2P from COs/Cabs)
- an alternative to PON
• AONs deployed in parts of Europe by CLECs, approx
500k subscribers
• P2P can give more capacity than shared access systems
– Better future-proofing
• Upgrades
– Only affect one customer
– Require no changes to external plant
• Shared access systems seem to date quickly
– E.g. Cable systems are difficult to upgrade, outside plant needs changing
– Shared access not needed with SDV (no broadcasting needed now)
• Service and Network Management is a concern for
operators/standards
– Except SDH when used for direct connection to customers
– G.985 adds limited network management functionality to Ethernet over fiber
B-PON
• Broadband passive optical network
–
–
–
based upon 53 byte ATM cells with mini-cells in transmission
convergence (TC) layer
Downstream ‘grants’ control the sending of upstream cells
Rates up to 620 Mbit/s symmetrical
•
and 1240/622 asymmetrical have been standardised
• Transport capability
–
–
–
native ATM
TDM (T1/E1) by circuit emulation
Ethernet by emulation
• Business or home
– 32 way split (some systems 64 way)
– multi-casting possible
• Standardised in G983.x series in ITU

ONU Management and Control Interface
• A management channel between OLT and
ONU
– Part of the baseband signal
– Carried in the PLOAM cells
• Physical layer operations and maintenance
– Accessible by the Network Operator via the element
manager on the OLT
– Allows the PON and services to be configured and
managed
• Authentication, configuration and fault mangnet
• Service management POTS, Video on demand,
WLAN,VLAN, Ethernet
– etc
Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation
• A powerful conditional access mechanism
– allows queues at the customer-ends of the PON to
be served according to the priority assigned to the
traffic flow
– ranging from TDM circuit emulation through to best
effort (using spare capacity).
– also offers 'concentration on the fly',
• statistical gain for packet-based services
– likely to become increasingly important as users of IP
begin to expect QoS-based services on congested
networks
• Allows bursts close to the maximum PON rate
• Good for high speed packet transmission

Recent Updates to B-PON standards
• Nov 2004
• G. 983.1 Revised. ‘Broadband Optical Access Systems Based On Passive
Optical Networks (PON)’
– Includes two previous Amendments, A Corrigendum, and Implementers’ guide
• G.983.2 Amendment 2, ‘B-PON ONT Management and Control Interface
(OMCI) support for Video Return Path’,
– Facilitates the use of set-top boxes originally designed for cable networks
• May 2005
• G.983.2 Revised ‘B-PON ONT Management and Control Interface (OMCI)’.
– All documents on OMCI have been merged into this revision, G.983.2 and G.983.6 through
to G.983.10 plus the Amendments 1 and 2 and Implementers’ guide.
– New functionality includes mechanized loop testing for telephony and ‘last gasp’ reporting
• G.983.3 Amendment 2, “A broadband optical access system with increased
service capability by wavelength allocation”
– Industry best practice optical budgets for the 622/155 B-PON system
•
•
28dB Optical Distribution Networks for B-PON
27dB with Analog video service
• G.983.1 Amendment 1 on Protocol Implementation Conformance Statements
(PICS) for the OLT and ONT.
– To show that the devices conform with G.983.1 at the transmission convergence layer
Recent Updates to G-PON standards
• May 2005
• G.984.3 Amendment 1 to G-PON Transmission Convergence
Layer.
– Peak Information Rate and Sustained Information Rate parameters are
now included and are analogous to ATM for alternative cell lengths
such as Ethernet packets.
– Multicast services may now be supported over GEM (e.g. IPTV).
– (GEM is the generic encapsulation mode use at in the transmission
convergence layer)
• G.984.4 Amendment 1 “Gigabit-capable Passive Optical
Networks (G-PON): ONT Management and Control Interface
specification”.
– Proposes management features on G-PON in support of Ethernet and
IPTV service such as the IEEE802.1p priority mapper, GEM traffic
descriptor, and support of multicast connection.
Outlook
• Capacity doubling every year!
– 1000-fold increase in 10 years.
– depends upon investment in new infrastructure,
– Varies between country, region and location
• Dependent on the economics and national strategy.
• Can the life of G-PON be extended?
– Bursting to 1Gbit/s could buy 3 years (to 2016)
• Upgrades
– With the addition of new wavelengths and/or new fiber
– Faster TDM-10Gbit/s
– WDM/PON
Conclusions
• The B-PON and G-PON series of standards are largely
complete
– B-PON has reached maturity with up to eight vendors with
interoperable OLT and/or ONU.
– The FSAN/Interoperability Task Group promotes standards
conformance and interoperability among vendors.
• Recommendations in the G.984.x series detail G-PON, the
latest generation of PON technology.
– Increasing capacity to Gigabit levels satisfies customer demands for
capacity in the range 100 Mbit/s (dedicated) and 1 Gbit/s (shared)
– G-PON maintains the same optical distribution network, wavelength
plan as B-PON
• offers more efficient IP and Ethernet handling
• Next step is G-PON interoperability
• The enhancement band is used by some operators to transport
analog cable TV
– In the future, as TV moves from RF-analogue to digital-in-band the
enhancement band is expected to be used for two-way interactive
digital services.
