An Energy Efficient ONU Implementation
This paper describes the implementation of an
energy efficient Optical Network Unit (ECONU) on an Altera
Stratix 4GT Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). An
overview of the ECONU architecture along with its frame
format design is also provided. The Finite State Machine (FSM)
implementation for switching the ONU "on" and "off" is based
on the sleep request encoded in the frames. The performance of
the ECONU prototype is evaluated through hardware testbed
and the obtained results are also discussed
