Abstract:
A method for a first optical transceiver to range one of a plurality of second optical transceivers. The method my include broadcasting a first ranging grant, determining whether a runt response is received in a quiet window, changing one of the desired delay or a timing of the quiet window in response to determining that no runt response was received, repeating the broadcasting and the determining in response to determining that no runt response was received, identifying one of the unranged second optical transceivers in response to determining that a runt response was received, and establishing a ranged state with the identified unranged second optical transceiver. The first ranging grant including a delay request indicating a first delay before unranged second optical receivers respond. The quiet window is a time when no responses are expected from the second optical transceivers.

Claim (Index 33):
A method comprising:\n receiving, from a network transceiver, a first ranging grant including a delay request at an optical transceiver, the delay request indicating a first delay before the optical transceiver responds to the first ranging grant such that the optical transceiver responds after a desired delay; determining the desired delay based on the delay request; sending a runt response after the desired delay with a laser of the optical transceiver, the runt response being sent with a laser power of the laser being below a normal laser power such that the runt response does not substantially interfere with communication with other optical transceivers; receiving, from a the network transceiver, a second ranging grant including an additional condition for response based on an identifier of the optical transceiver; sending the runt response in response to the identifier meeting the additional condition; and establishing a ranged state with the network transceiver.
