Abstract:
In one embodiment, a method for passive optical network (PON) communication includes broadcasting, by an optical line terminal (OLT), a first message including a first start time of a first quiet window and a first allocation identification number (Alloc-ID), where the first Alloc-ID indicates a first supported upstream line rate associated with the first quiet window. The method also includes receiving, by the OLT from a first optical network unit (ONU) during the first quiet window, a first serial number response, wherein a first transmitting upstream line rate of the first ONU is equal to the first supported upstream line rate.

Claim (Index 6):
An optical line terminal (OLT) comprising:\n a processor; and a non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing programming for execution by the processor, the programming including instructions to: broadcast an allocation structure comprising an allocation identification number (Alloc-ID) field and a start time of a quiet window, with the Alloc-ID field either having a value of 1022 to indicate that ONUs supporting a first upstream line rate may transmit a first serial number response to register with the OLT during the quiet window or having a value of 1023 to indicate that ONUs supporting a second upstream line rate may transmit a second serial number response to register with the OLT during the quiet window, the second upstream line rate being different than the first upstream line rate.
