TDMA multiplexing of ATM cells in a residential access SuperPON.

Time division multiple access (TDMA) multiplexing of ATM cells from thousands of residential customers toward the common feeder of a passive optical network (SuperPON) tree obviates the need for an equal number of optical line terminations (OLTs). All upstream transmissions converge by means of the...
