This section describes basic concepts related to the fiber to the home (FTTH) solution from
the user side to the network side on FTTH networking using PON and P2P upstream
transmission, respectively.

FTTH Networking Using P2P Upstream Transmission

User Side
Concept Description

Home gateway A gateway device positioned for small office and home office
(HGW or HG) (SOHO) users. It provides multiple service ports, such as POTS and
LAN, wireless local area network (WLAN), or xDSL ports. The
HGW supports routing and remote management and diagnosis.

VoD A technology that enables users to order any program in a VoD


program library. During program playing, users can perform
operations, such as pause, fast forward, fast rewind, and program
locating.

Multicast Is also called broadband TV (BTV), which is similar to traditional


cable TV (CATV) or satellite TV. User experience in watching a
multicast program is the same as that in watching a traditional TV
program. Unlike the traditional TV, the IPTV system encodes audio
signals and sends them to user terminals through an IP network.

Access Side
Concept Description

PON A network that uses the point-to-multipoint (P2MP) network


architecture. A PON network consists of an optical line terminal
(OLT), an optical distribution network (ODN), and optical network
units (ONUs). It uses optical fibers to transmit data, supports more
users with less optical fibers, and provides high access rates.

ODN A network that consists of optical fibers and passive optical


components, such as one or more optical dividers. The ODN network
provides highly reliable optical paths to connect ONUs to an OLT.

Concept Description

OLT An aggregation device located at a central office (CO), which


terminates PON protocols.

Optical network A user terminal that provides various ports for users. In PON
terminal (ONT) networking, the PON board of an OLT communicates with an ONT
through the intermediate ODN network. In point-to-point (P2P)
networking, an OLT communicates with an ONT through a P2P
Ethernet optical access board.

Split ratio A ratio used for dividing a downstream optical signal into sub-signals
in the PON system. A greater split ratio will result in high optical
power for signal transmission over the same physical distance.

Fiber to the home A type of network that provides high bandwidths for home users. In
(FTTH) PON networking, an OLT connects to ONTs through an ODN network
and the ONTs connect to home users. In P2P networking, an OLT
connects to ONTs and the ONTs connect to home users. The OLT
provides voice, Internet access, and IPTV services for home users.

Network Side
Concept Description

User-facing A supplier routing device that connects to the router of a customer


provider edge (U- edge (CE), which is an OLT in this document. The U-PE supports
PE) routing and Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) encapsulation. If
a U-PE connects to multiple CEs, the U-PE supports basic bridging
functions. In this case, the U-PE forwards data frames, which reduces
the load of switching provider edges (S-PEs).

Aggregation An aggregation router, which provides aggregation and route


provider edge forwarding functions for access devices. Compared with U-PEs, PE-
(PE-AGG) AGGs provide fewer ports and higher performance and switching
rates.

NGN or IP A type of network that centers around softswitches and uses an open
multimedia and standardized architecture. It provides voice, video, and data
subsystem (IMS) services.
A type of system that uses Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) signaling
as its call control signaling. It provides voice, data, and multimedia
services.
NOTE
In this document, the NGN or IMS is the softswitch that supports H.248 or SIP.

IPTV head end A contents preparation platform in the IPTV system. It receives
signals, converts media formats, and manages media materials.
