1 Summary

The FiberGateway is an Optical Terminal Equipment (ONT) unit for Passive Optical Networks (PON) termination in a FTTH (Fiber-To-The-Home) service delivery architecture. FiberGateway communicates with the OLT (Optical Line Terminal) for the PON side and with the customer’s premises for the client side. This equipment supports triple-play services - high speed internet (HSI), voice (VoIP), video (IPTV) and WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup). The use of the GPON fiber access technology does allow a significant service delivery increase when compared with traditional xDSL technologies.

The FiberGateway equipment technology is based on GEM (GPON Encapsulation Method), and complies with ITU-T G.984.x. recommendation as like as G.984.4 (OMCI) ensuring interoperability with major GPON OLT vendors (BBF.247).

These base functionalities, together with the support for bit rates of up to 2.5 Gbps (downstream) and

1.24 Gbps (upstream), an optical network splitting ratio of up to 1:64 in a single fiber and a distance range of up to 60 km, make the GPON technology and the FiberGateway the most efficient option for passive optical network topologies, when integrated service delivery is an issue.

Together with multi-vendor OLT interoperability (BBF.247 certified), other differentiated features of the

FiberGateway product include the use of an embedded optical reflective component that increases probing resolution in case of FTTH probing. The FiberGateway is also one of the first single household integrated CPE solution (ONT+GATEWAY).

As opposed to the point-to-point architecture, in which there is one physical port per client in the

Central Office, in GPON point-to-multipoint architecture there is only a single laser and photo-detector in the Central Office (CO) to serve up to 128 CPEs. All the Optical Distribution Network is built by means of passive equipment modules with a long live MTBF standards and very low OPEX.

Summary


2 Technical Description

2.1 FiberGateway Main Functionalities

The FiberGateway is aimed for customer premises and complies with the ITU-T G.984.x recommendation in order to transport (over GPON) and deliver (to premises domain) the full broadband service pack.

Broadband service applications are commonly referred as below:

• High speed internet (HSI);

•

Voice (VoIP) services (SIP/MEGACO H.248);

• TV (IPTV);

•

Wi-Fi.

The multiplay environment is thus reinforced when combining the upper referred services.

IP-based services configuration and management is achieved by means of the TR-069 protocol as defined by Broadband Forum. This procedure takes for granted that previously the link layer connectivity has been achieved.

TR-069 is then transparent to the OLT, since the TR-069 connections are established between the

ACS and the ONTs, Figure 4.

ONT gateway family equipments integrate gateway functionalities. Link layer configuration and management is achieved by the use of OMCI, while IP-based services (RG functionality and Voice over IP) are configured and managed by TR-069, Figure 3.

2.5 General Features

GPON is a point-to-multipoint passive optical network, in which unpowered optical splitters are used to enable a single optical fiber to serve multiple premises, typically 1-64.

A PON consists of an optical line terminal (OLT) at the central office and a number of optical network terminals (ONT) at the customer premises. Downstream signals are broadcasted to all premises sharing multiple fibers. Encryption can prevent eavesdropping. Upstream signals are combined using a multiple access protocol (Time Division Multiple Access - TDMA). The OLT queues data to the various ONT terminals in order to provide time slot assignments for upstream communication.

In Figure 5 it is shown a scenario for a multi-service user domain basic architecture through an ISP network.

21



Figure 5: Optical fiber Internet service user access

In the upstream direction, the FiberGateway is connected to the optical splitter and respectively to the

OLT through the PON port to provide integrated access services through the service headend.

In the downstream direction, the FiberGateway is connected to various terminals through the following

LAN-side ports to implement multi-play services:

•

Four 10/100/1000M Base-T Ethernet ports, which can be connected to terminals such as PCs,

STBs, and video phones to provide the high-speed data and video services;

• Two FXS ports, which can be connected to telephone sets to provide VoIP services;

•

Four Wi-Fi antennas, which can connect to Wi-Fi terminals wirelessly to provide a secure and reliable high-speed wireless network;

•

One USB port, which can be connected to a USB storage device to provide convenient storage and file sharing services within a home network;

The communication between client equipment (ONT) and the ISP access routers (MAN edge) is made by an optical fiber-based passive architecture (ITU-T G.984 Recommendation). The GPON network acts as a Layer 2 Ethernet metropolitan network. Access network assures and controls the media

(MAC) communication through a TDMA scheme, introducing GEM (GPON Encapsulation Method) in between to adapt TDM layer to Ethernet.

The used protocol stack is shown in Figure 6.

22



Figure 6: Stack of protocols for GPON architecture

Several transmission containers (T-CONT) are assigned to each user. Each T-CONT has an associated GEM port and each GEM port has a VLAN identifier and an 802.1p priority level.

The ONT classifies the traffic depending on the VLAN and the marked priority, and routes it over the corresponding T-CONT/GEM port. Thus for frame multiplexing, GEM and T-CONT ports are used for uplink while the downlink only use the GEM ports feature.

FiberGateway complies with Broadband Forum TR-142 Technical Report, which defines a framework for the remote configuration and management of IP-based services over PON (Passive Optical

Network) and fiber access technology.

TR-142 framework uses TR-069 which is the protocol of choice for the remote management and configuration of IP services over PON and fiber access networks. TR-069 is intended to be used for the remote configuration and management of IP services running over ONT, as well as for some aspects of ONT management.

Figure 7: TR-142 Framework

TR-142 framework defines a virtual UNI between the OMCI (ONT Management Control Interface) and

TR-069 management domains.

This framework allows PON CPE with L3 layer capabilities to be mass remotely configured, troubleshoot and managed by an ACS (Auto Configuration Server) using TR-069 CPE WAN

Management Protocol.

23


2.6 General Architecture

FiberGateway basic system architecture is hereafter presented.


Figure 8: FiberGateway system architecture

The GPON IC Processing unit is the core component inside FiberGateway. It is responsible for the interconnection and processing between client side interfacing and optical GPON Uplink interface.

2.7 GPON

The FiberGateway GPON layer as G.984.x uses 1490nm downstream and 1310nm upstream of the optical wavelengh, with 2,488Gbps downstream and 1,244Gbps upstream by using an SC/APC protected optical connector.

2.8 Ethernet

Ethernet is the wired LAN technology and is revised in the IEEE 802.3 standard. At the OSI reference system, Ethernet is at the Data Link layer. In the FiberGateway equipment both WAN and LAN type of physical interfaces are 10/100/1000BASE-T AUTO-MIX Ethernet type over RJ45 conectors.

2.9 IPTV

For the IPTV service the FiberGateway also behaves like a Layer 2 bridging device. For this service, the FiberGateway has a specific GEM PORT for Multicast. This same GEM PORT is requested by the user in order to have access to the various IPTV channels. Every time a user requests a new channel,

24


FiberGateway User Manual the FiberGateway will send to OLT a IGMP packet requesting that Channel. The FiberGateway is also responsible for implementing the snooping for the channels that the user requests.

2.10.2 Supported interfaces

FiberGateway voice service provisioning could be made through OLT configurations over OMCI messages or could be downloaded (FTP) from the OLT up to the FiberGateway after its registration on the PON network. FiberGateway equipments have the ability to deliver the Voice service over two types of interface:

2.10.2.1 Logical interface (VLAN encapsulation)

If the FiberGateway has no FXS ports and the VoIP service is transparently forwarded from the OLT up to the Home Gateway (and vice versa) within a previously defined voice VLAN. FiberGateway respects the defined priority and implements the traffic encapsulation from its own Ethernet interface into a specific T-CONT/GEM-Port over the PON interface and up to the OLT equipment.

2.10.2.2 Physical interface (FXS ports)

The FiberGateway has physical RJ11 FXS interfaces. In this version of the FiberGateway equipment, voice interfaces are terminated in the equipment by means of FXS (RJ11) connections. The RJ11 analog terminals adapter function is auto/self-configured, integrated (analog/VoIP) and associated with a defined SIP or Megaco (H.248) user.

25



The FiberGateway will allow VoIP or NGN (Next Generation Network) traffic from devices connected to the RJ11 or RJ45 interfaces, towards the same internal VLAN.

Apart of the SIP and Megaco (H.248) self-configuration, it is also possible to make modifications in the voice service configurations by updating the FiberGateway SW through download from the OLT via

OMCI.

The FiberGateway equipment has a DHCP client to get an IP address, alternatively the FiberGateway could be configured with a static IP. The configuration of the static IP or DHCP client is related to the

WAN side and is enabled by the OLT.

The OLT system supports traffic classification at the ingress ports (ETH, LAGs, PON, etc) based on P-

Bits, IP DSCP and IP.

The OLT system provides several QoS mechanisms, that can be targeted to the flow characterized by one or two VLAN according with the type of service, or can be targeted to the packets priority, where each p-bit/DSCP is mapped in one of eight queues of each port.

For each OLT ports are associated eight queues, for each of these queues is possible to configure the p-bit mapping in one of the queues, the scheduler type (Strict Priority or Weighted Fair Queuing) and the minimum and maximum bandwidth of each queue.

Figure 10: Dowstream QoS diagram

In the downstream direction, Figure 10, the ingress traffic can be firstly classified. It passes by a policer and is configured to each ONT service, which is defined by one or two tags. It is remarked and policed per-CoS rate (port profile).

After this, Network services (per VLAN) classification determine the PON port queue where packets will wait for a transmission opportunity, and can remark the CoS (P-bits in VLAN PCP). The traffic is put in a queue according with the p-bit/DSCP->Traffic Class mapping.

Each of these Traffic Classes is associated with a scheduler (WRR or SP) and a policer.

Queue congestion management is used to prevent the queue from overflowing and is performed based on Tail Drop or WRED.

Each queue is served by either a priority or weighted scheduler and rate controlled.

Then Traffic Classes to P-bit remarking is done and the traffic flows to the GPON interface.

Destination ONU/ONT client service downstream profile defines traffic classless policing. The overall

PON port may be limited to a percentage of its capacity.

Traffic arriving to the ONU/ONT it will pass by a mapping block which will map the traffic in one of the eight queues according with the p-bits; these queues have a Strict Priority scheduler in order to guarantee that the most prioritized traffic passes first, Figure 10.

2.13.2 Upstream QoS


Figure 11: Upstream QoS diagram

In the upstream, Figure 11, for each T-CONT DBA the ingress traffic in the ONT passes by a mapping block that maps the traffic in one of the eight queues according with the p-bit, (in case the ingress traffic is untagged a DSCP->p-bit mapping is performed).

These queues have a Strict Priority Scheduler. Packets are stored at the intended T-CONT priority queue, which is scheduled according to ONT configuration.

The ONT “waits” until the OLT assigns a transmission timeslot for that T-CONT, according to DBA, so that the most prioritized queues are the ones that transmit first.

In the OLT PON ingress port, traffic is remarked and can be policed per-CoS. The traffic is put into a

Traffic Class according with what is defined in the p-bit/DSCP->queue mapping.

Each of these Traffic Classes has an associated scheduler and policer. Queue management is performed based on Tail Drop or WRED. Then Traffic Classes to P-bit remarking is done and the traffic is sent to the uplink, Figure 11.

2.13.3 Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation (DBA)

The DBA (Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation) is available in order to optimize the upstream bandwidth.

This mechanism consists in defining an adequate T-CONT to the service traffic in question. There are five types of T-CONT, defined by the Fixed, Assured and Maximum Parameters:

•

Type 1: Only fixed Bandwidth;

• Type 2: Only Assured Bandwidth;

•

Type 3: Assured+Maximum Bandwidth;

• Type 4: Only Maximum Bandwidth (Best Effort);

• Type 5: Fixed+Assured+Maximum Bandwidth.

3.4 Optical metering

The equipment measures the downstream received power from the OLT in 1490nm and reports this value through OMCI. The accuracy of the measurement is +/- 3dBm, maximum. Optionally,

FiberGateway has also the chance to have an embedded optical reflective component in order to increase the FTTH probing capabilities in a 50 centimeters resolution factor, which turns to have a single probing system to probe all GPON network ONTs even when its number increases over Million customers.

3.5 Wavelength filtering

The optical interface has WDM filters that allow GPON coexistence with RF video services (1550-

1560nm) and the new generation of NGPON1 technology, according to G.984.5 Recommendation.

ITU-T Rec. G987.1 is also granted for XGPON, (following FSAN NG-PON2).

In order to face the final user´s demands, current GPON networks have to confront the first evolution in terms of terminal equipments and actual infrastructure. Migration will be available through a new wavelength planning, by allowing the co-existence of two different technologies over the same fiber.

The ITU-T Rec. G987.1 provides a mechanism for GPON to XGPON migration with the possibility to achieve 2.5Gbps upstream path. Nominally downstream will be 10 Gbps.

The next figure depicts the wavelength planning of ITU-T Rec. G987.1:

39



Figure 13: Wavelength planning

In order to accomplish to that plan, the upstream wavelength for GPON must be restricted to ONU

(ONT) equipment based on the ordinary DFB lasers, while the XGPON downstream signal range is defined from 1575 nm to 1580 nm and the XGPON upstream signal from 1260 nm to 1280 nm. For the coexistence of XGPON and GPON over the same fiber, the CO requires a WDM filter that combines the downstream signal (1490 nm, 1555 nm and 1577 nm), isolating the 1310 nm and 1270 nm upstream signal, with the video signal. Also the wavelength of 1650 nm, used for fiber monitoring, has to be handled.

In addition, ONT devices require the use of a triplexer type transceiver that include an integrated filter or a discrete WDM filter to distinguish the different signals that may be present on the fiber. The current networks, equipped with ONT in accordance with the current ITU-T Rec. G984.5, will be easily updated to XGPON.

Class B+ optical budget are the nominal requirement for coexistence of GPON and XGPON over the same optical fiber. Taking this requirement into account, the fiber network architecture will not limit the future of the service provider business since GPON architectures, respecting B+ class of the GPON, are easily updated by placing newest terminal equipments, namely XOLT and XONT, and by replacing the current WDM filter by the new one in order to handle the new XGPON signals.

XGPON must support/emulate all GPON legacy services in case of total migration.

Like GPON, XGPON is required to support triple play services (data, voice and video), as well as mobile backhauling (accurate frequency/phase/time synchronization) application through its high quality of service and high bit rate feature capabilities. Access to Ethernet services such as point-topoint, multipoint-to-multipoint and rooted-multipoint Ethernet Virtual Connection services should be provided. Finally, as a global requirement, XG-PON needs to support IPv6.

3.6 GPON/Ethernet characteristics

Setup


5 Configuration

Configuration of the FiberGateway equipment is done remotely, using OMCI and TR-069.

5.1 FiberGateway Activation

The equipment activation process has a distributed set of procedures that allow the connection of an inactive equipment to a PON network. This configuration is done following the procedure described in the OMCI protocol.

5.2 Costumization

For customization process, the requ irements specified in the G.984.4, G.984.5 and ‘Implementer’s

Guide’ in the G.984.4 v1 are taken into account.

5.2.1 Software download from the OLT

The software download is made following the OMCIbased procedure included in the ‘Implementer’s

Guide’ of the G.984.4 Recommendation.

The Managed Entity (ME) in charge of managing the software download is named Software Image.

Per each ME containing independently-manageable software, the FiberGateway creates two software images. Each image will have three attributes:

• Valid - if it has been verified that it’s content is an image with executable code;

•

Committed - if once the FiberGateway is rebooted, it is loaded and executed;

•

Active - if it is loaded and it is being executed in the FiberGateway.

There can be only one active image and only one committed image at a given moment. The

FiberGateway goes through a series of states in order to download and activate a software image.

Each state is defined according to the states of the variables of both images. The OLT controls the

FiberGateway state through a series of commands:

•

Start download o It starts the software download sequence. This action is only valid for inactive and non-committed software images;

•

Download section o It downloads a section of a software image. This action is only valid for an image that is being downloaded;

•

End download o It indicates the end of a download sequence, providing the CRC and information about version for the final verification of the downloaded software image. This action is only valid for a software image that is being downloaded;

• Activate image o It loads/executes a valid software image. When this action is applied to an inactive software image, the execution of the current code image is suspended, the associated software image is loaded from the non-volatile memory and the execution of the new code image is started. When this action is applied over a software image that is active, a reboot is executed;

53

Configuration


•

Commit image o It selects a valid SW image to be loaded and executed by default when the

FiberGateway is restarted;

•

Composition of the Software Image o A software image is divided into sections of 31 bytes, with one section per

OMCC message and each section protected by the CRC of the OMCC. A group of sections makes up a window, and a group of windows constituting the image.
