    Abstract: An apparatus comprises a DAC configured to convert a digital electrical signal to an analog electrical signal and a laser coupled to the DAC. The laser is configured to generate an optical signal using the analog electrical signal for modulation, the optical signal is a band-multiplexed optical signal comprising frequency bands, the frequency bands comprise a lowest-frequency band, and the lowest-frequency band comprises a baseband IM signal. The laser is configured to transmit the optical signal. A PON comprises an OLT configured to transmit a downstream optical signal, the downstream optical signal is a band-multiplexed optical signal comprising a first band and a second band. The PON includes a first ONU configured to receive the downstream optical signal and equalize only the first band; and a second ONU configured to receive the downstream optical signal and equalize the first band and the second band.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for identifying a connection between a reach extender channel termination (RE-CT) and an optical network unit (ONU). A method performed by an optical line terminal (OLT) for identifying a connection between a RE-CT and an ONU includes transmitting, by the OLT, a dynamic bandwidth allocation (DBA) grant to the ONU via a multi-channel termination reach extender (MCRE), retrieving, by the OLT from the MCRE, recorded optical signal power measurements associated with an upstream transmission by the ONU, and identifying, by the OLT, the RE-CT of the MCRE that is connected to the ONU by correlating the recorded optical signal power measurements associated with the upstream transmission by the ONU with the DBA grant.

    Abstract: A method of communication between a base band unit (BBU) and a plurality of remote radio units (RRUs) via a point-to-multipoint time division multiplexing passive optical network (TDM-PON) system is provided. The method can be performed by an ONU and comprises receiving Ethernet packets from the Ethernet interface of an RRU of the plurality of RRUs, performing time-division multiplexing of the Ethernet packets to generate multiplexed packets, storing in a buffer of the ONU the multiplexed packets based on a pre-determined buffer starting time and buffer size, packaging the multiplexed packets in the buffer to fixed length transmission blocks (TBs) having pre-allocated time slots for TDM-PON upstream transmission, and transmitting the TBs to an optical line terminal (OLT) that is communicatively coupled to the BBU such that no contention of TBs occurs at the OLT.
