Abstract:
A passive optical network (PON) includes a first optical line terminal (OLT), a second OLT, and an optical network unit (ONU). The first OLT sends an equalization delay change message to the ONU, wherein the equalization delay change message includes an equalization delay, an upstream channel ID and a downstream channel ID corresponding to the equalization delay. The ONU receives the equalization delay change message. When the ONU tunes from the first OLT to the second OLT, the ONU obtains the equalization delay for upstream transmission according to the upstream channel ID and the downstream channel ID.

Claim (Index 7):
An apparatus for communication in a passive optical network (PON), comprising:\n a first optical line terminal channel termination (OLT CT) in communication with an optical network unit (ONU) and a second OLT CT, with the first OLT CT comprising: a memory storage comprising instructions; a processor coupled to the memory, wherein the processor executes the instructions to:\n perform, in communication with an optical network unit (ONU), a ranging process to obtain an equalization delay value associated with an upstream and downstream channel pair; \n generate a ranging time physical layer operations, administration, and maintenance (PLOAM) message that includes an equalization delay field indicating the equalization delay value associated with the upstream and downstream channel pair, a first field indicating an upstream PON ID of the upstream and downstream channel pair, a second field indicating a downstream PON ID of the upstream and downstream channel pair, and a third field indicating how the equalization delay field is to be interpreted; and \n send the ranging time PLOAM message to the ONU.
