Grid Architecture of a Metro-Access Optical Network to Support Discretionary Peer-to-Peer Intracommunication and Intercommunication Between ONUs

Direct communication between optical network units (ONUs) is an important function in metro-access optical networks. In this paper, a grid architecture supporting the intracommunication and intercommunication between ONUs is proposed. By employing an arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) and coarse ...
