Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of optical network terminals, and in particular relates to an FTTR networking method based on a proxy mode. Background Technology

[0002] Modern families have an increasingly strong demand for internet access. Being able to access the internet anytime, anywhere has become as essential as food, clothing, shelter, and transportation. Especially with the development of technologies such as the Internet of Things, VR, and AR, the demand for high-speed, low-latency, and high-quality networks will become increasingly urgent.

[0003] Technologies such as F5G and FTTR have emerged based on this scenario. PON+wifi6 / wifi7 technology has become the optimal choice for networking within each home. FTTR, or Fiber to the Home, allows the entire network to bypass the current wired network. The advantages of optical communication are low power consumption, low latency, high speed, and high capacity. Optical transmission can easily achieve transmission rates of 10G or higher. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the present invention aims to propose an FTTR networking method based on a proxy mode to at least solve at least one of the problems in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is implemented as follows:

[0006] A proxy-based FTTR networking method, characterized by: including a main router and multiple sub-ONUs, wherein the main router integrates OLT functions and supports multiple sub-ONUs connected to a single main router, and at least one of the multiple sub-ONUs includes an existing GPON / XGPON / XGSPON ONU registered with the operator, comprising the following steps:

[0007] S1. The main router interacts with the ONU that has been registered with the operator, and the main router obtains the parameter information of the sub-ONU.

[0008] S2. The main router registers with the operator's central office OLT in the Ploam phase using the parameter information of the sub-ONU obtained in step S1.

[0009] S3. Perform OMCI interaction;

[0010] S4. The main router uses the obtained MAC and password to complete the MPCP registration with the OLT at the telecom office, and completes the registration and configuration distribution of the ONU.

[0011] Furthermore, in step S1, the main router obtains the SN, MAC, password, and LOID information required for registration of the sub-ONU, and saves the relevant information required for registration.

[0012] Furthermore, in step S3, the main router directly forwards the OMCI message received from the central office OLT to the downstream operator ONU, waits for the relevant reply, and then checks the message content after receiving the reply to the OMCI message.

[0013] Furthermore, in step S3, for non-OMCI messages, the main route is used to directly forward them to the ONU registered with the operator.

[0014] Furthermore, in step S3, if the ONU registered by the telecom company is an EPON or 10G EPON product, the main router first interacts with the sub-ONU to obtain and save the MAC and password information of the telecom registered ONU.

[0015] Furthermore, in step S4, the OAM interaction phase begins. The main router adopts a sniffing mode and uses the same relay OAM message as the GPON / XGPON mode. Only for some resource requests, the OAM message is modified to request resources based on the number of downstream ONUs.

[0016] Furthermore, this solution discloses an electronic device, including a processor and a memory communicatively connected to the processor and used to store executable instructions of the processor, wherein the processor is used to execute an FTTR networking method based on a proxy mode.

[0018] Furthermore, this solution discloses a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program, which, when executed by a processor, implements an FTTR networking method based on a proxy model.

[0019] Compared with existing technologies, the FTTR networking method based on proxy mode described in this invention has the following advantages:

[0020] The FTTR networking method based on proxy mode described in this invention has the advantages of using the proxy mode to upgrade existing home networks, eliminating the need to purchase operator packages, preserving private information to a certain extent, and being seamless for users in terms of network setup, enabling rapid FTTR P2MP networking.

[0026] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0027] This invention primarily proposes an FFTR networking technology based on a proxy mechanism. It utilizes existing ONU devices in a home telecommunications network, adding a main router and multiple sub-ONUs. The original operator's ONUs are connected to the main router. The main router first registers with the operator's ONUs, obtaining and storing the necessary registration information. Then, it uses this information to complete registration with the upstream OLT. During the OMCI interaction phase of GPON / XGPON / XGSPON and the OAM message interaction phase of EPON / 10G EPON, a sniffing mode is adopted. The main router acts as a forwarder, only requesting resources from packets based on the number of ONUs connected to it, applying N times the number of ONUs connected to the main router, repeating this process to complete the configuration. Other configuration-related packets, such as TR098, TR181, and intelligent services, also use a similar mode for interaction. From the perspective of the central office, the FTTR networking transition from a single ONU to multiple ONUs for home users can be completed seamlessly.

[0028] The specific implementation method is as follows:

[0029] 1. An FTTR network consists of a main router and multiple sub-ONUs. The main router integrates OLT functions and supports at least 8 sub-ONUs connected to a single main router. One of the sub-ONUs is an existing GPON / XGPON / XGSPON ONU registered with the operator. The other ONUs are GPON / XGPON / XGSPON ONUs purchased through any means.

[0030] 2. During the initial registration process, the ONU already registered with the ISP first interacts with the main router. The main router obtains the necessary registration information from the sub-ONU, such as its SN, MAC address, password, and LOID, and saves this information.

[0031] 3. Then, the main router uses the obtained SN, MAC, Password, LOID, and other information to complete the Ploam registration with the operator's OLT and begin OMCI interaction. From the operator's OLT's perspective, it can only see one registered and valid ONU.

[0032] 4. Upon the start of MCI interaction, the main router adopts a sniffing mode, primarily acting as a relay. The main router directly forwards the OMCI packets received from the central office OLT to the connected operator ONUs, awaiting a response. Once a response to the OMCI packet is received, its content is examined. For resource-related requests, the main router requests resources and reports information to the central office OLT at a rate of N times the number of connected ONUs, where N is the number of ONUs connected to the main router. This process is repeated to facilitate communication and exchange.

[0033] 5. For non-OMCI packets, such as TR069 (TR098, TR181) and intelligent service packets, the main router forwards them directly to the ONU registered with the operator and processes them using a similar principle as above.

[0034] 6. If the ONU registered by the telecom company is an EPON or 10G EPON product, the method is similar. First, the main router interacts with the sub-ONU to obtain the MAC address, password, and other relevant information of the telecom-registered ONU, and saves it.

[0035] 7. Then, the main router uses the obtained MAC address and password to complete MPCP registration with the OLT at the telecom office. Entering the OAM interaction phase, the main router adopts a sniffing mode, relaying OAM messages similar to GPON / XGPON mode. It only modifies the OAM message for certain resource requests, requesting resources based on the number of downstream ONUs. This process is repeated until the ONU registration and configuration distribution are completed.

[0036] The advantages of using a proxy-based FTTR network include the ability to upgrade existing home networks without purchasing carrier plans, preservation of private information to a certain extent, and seamless network setup for the user. It also allows for rapid implementation of FTTR P2MP networks.

[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
