Abstract:
A communication method, apparatus, and system for a passive optical network (PON). The PON includes an optical line terminal (OLT) and a first optical network unit (ONU), where the method includes communicating, by the OLT, with the first ONU using one downlink wavelength (λdx), where the λdx is any one of N downlink wavelengths λd1 to λdN, and communicating, by the OLT, with the first ONU using one uplink wavelength (λu0), where the λu0 is different from any one of M uplink wavelengths λu1 to λuM. The N downlink wavelengths λd1 to λdN and the M uplink wavelengths λu1 to λuM are wavelength values configured for a second ONU, N and M are both integers greater than or equal to 2, and x is any value from 1 to M. Therefore, complexity and costs of the PON system are reduced.

Claim (Index 11):
An optical line terminal (OLT) applied to a passive optical network (PON), wherein the PON comprises the OLT and a first optical network unit (ONU), and wherein the OLT comprises:\n an optical transmitter configured to communicate with the first ONU using one downlink wavelength (\u03bbdx), wherein the \u03bbdx comprises any one of N downlink wavelengths, and wherein the N downlink wavelengths comprise \u03bbd1 to \u03bbdN; and an optical receiver coupled to the optical transmitter and configured to communicate with the first ONU using one uplink wavelength (\u03bbu0), wherein the \u03bbu0 is different from any one of M uplink wavelengths, and wherein the M uplink wavelengths comprise \u03bbu1 to \u03bbuM, wherein the N downlink wavelengths and the M uplink wavelengths comprise wavelength values configured for a second ONU, wherein N and M are both integers greater than or equal to two, and wherein x comprises any value from [1, N].
