G.9807.1(XGS-PON) recommendation in order to transport (over FTTH PON architectures) 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 or IPTV and RF TV, specific model dependent);
•Wi-Fi 6
•EasyMeshTM (Wi-Fi Alliance® multiple AP specification)
The multiplay environment is thus reinforced when combining the upper referred services

2.3 Interoperability
XGS-PON Fiber Gateway equipment complies with ITU-T G.9807.1 recommendation and G.988 (OMCI)
ensuring multi-vendor OLT interoperability with major OLT vendors, as defined in BBF.247 ONU
certification program.
BBF.247 ONU certification program certifies ONT link layer configuration and management protocol,
OMCI, Figure 2, as defined by ITU-T G.988.
Figure 2: Link Layer Configuration and Management
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.
Fiber Gateway 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
FTTH PON 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, up to 1:128 (tipically 1:64).
A PON consists of an optical line terminal (OLT) at the central office and a number of optical network
units/terminals (ONU/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 ONU/ONT 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.

and respectively to the an OLT XGS-PON port through the CEx element to provide integrated access
services through the service headend.
In the downstream direction, the XGS-PON Fiber Gateway equipment 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;
•One 1/10GE BASE-X/T
•One/two FXS port, 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 Fiber Gateway equipment (ONU/ONT) and the ISP access routers
(MAN edge) is made by an optical fiber-based passive architecture (ITU-T G.9807.1). The PON network
acts as a Layer 2 Ethernet metropolitan network. Access network assures and controls the media (MAC)
communication through a TDMA scheme, introducing XGEM (XGS-PON Encapsulation Method) in
between to adapt TDM layer to Ethernet.
The used protocol stack is shown in Figure 6.
Figure 6: Stack of protocols for PON architecture
Several transmission containers (T-CONT) are assigned to each user. Each T-CONT has an associated
XGEM port and each XGEM port has a VLAN identifier and an 802.1p priority level.
