Abstract
The described implementations relate a Passive Optical Network (PON). In one implementation, the PON includes an Optical Network Unit (ONU) that has at least one transmitter subsystem component and an associated optical transmitter. The at least one transmitter subsystem component may be configured to be in an enabled state during a timeslot period assigned to the ONU for transmitting an upstream data burst and a disabled state after the timeslot ends.
Claims1
A method, comprising:
- determining a start position of an upstream timeslot;
- and
- enabling one or more transmitter subsystem components in advance of the start position of the upstream timeslot.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
