A transmission start time correction method of a WDM/TDM-PON system includes: a completion instruction procedure in which a station-side subscriber accommodation apparatus issues an instruction using a downstream signal for instructing a subscriber apparatus to perform wavelength switching, the downstream signal including a transmission start time of an upstream signal indicating completion of the wavelength switching of the subscriber apparatus, the upstream signal being transmitted by the subscriber apparatus after the wavelength switching; an instruction completion transmission procedure in which the subscriber apparatus transmits the upstream signal indicating the completion of the wavelength switching at a wavelength after switching at the instructed transmission start time after the wavelength switching is completed in accordance with the instruction; and a transmission start time correction procedure in which the station-side subscriber accommodation apparatus measures a reception time of the upstream signal indicating the completion of the wavelength switching received after the wavelength switching and sets a time obtained by adding a time twice a time difference between a reception time of the upstream signal indicating the completion of the wavelength switching assumed before the wavelength switching and a reception time of the upstream signal indicating the completion of the wavelength switching received after the wavelength switching to the transmission start time of the upstream signal before the wavelength switching as a new transmission start time.

A matrix M is used to determine groups of potential regenerator placements and obtain potential end-to-end optical paths by selecting desired sequences of regenerators. Then, a hierarchical guided search may be employed to efficiently select desired N-tuple disjoint optical paths from the potential optical paths. The hierarchical guided search may employ a search graph and a search tree to guide the search and to eliminate candidate nodes and optical paths early in the search process.
