BANDWIDTH ALLOCATION METHOD AND OPTICAL LINE TERMINAL Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC H04B10/25 

FIELD: radio engineering, communication.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to communication engineering and can be used in optical links. This method is used for an OLT to allocate bandwidth to an optical network unit (ONU), wherein the method includes: estimating input traffic of the ONU according to information from the ONU (S302); setting an input traffic transition signal (S304), which is used to indicate a change in the input traffic of two adjacent dynamic bandwidth allocation DBA cycles of the ONU; and allocating the bandwidth to the ONU according to the input traffic of the ONU and the input traffic transition signal (S306).

EFFECT: providing reliable bandwidth allocation, acceptable transmission delay and reliable use of uplink bandwidth.
