ITU-T G.984.3

Abstract

This Recommendation is intended to: </span><ul> <li>Describe flexible access networks using optical fibre technology. The focus is primarily on a network to support services including POTS, data, video, leased line and distributive services.</li> <li>Describe characteristics of a passive optical network (PON) with the capability of transporting various services between the user-network interface and the service node interface.</li> <li>Concentrate on the fibre issues. The copper issues of hybrid systems are described elsewhere, e.g., xDSL standardization.</li> <li>Cover transmission convergence (TC) issues between the service node interface and the user-network interface.</li> <li>Deal with specifications for frame format, media access control method, ranging method, OAM functionality and security in G-PON networks.</li> <li>Include OAN registration method, Time-of-Day distribution method, PON-ID maintenance capability.</li> <li>Include protocol-based ONU power management specification.</li></ul><br>
