Abstract:
The present invention discloses a passive optical network communications method, reporting, by an optical network unit, ONU, a calibration record of the ONU, where the calibration record includes an ID of a calibrated wavelength channel; sending a first message to the ONU when the OLT determines, according to the calibration record, that a target wavelength channel ID corresponding to a target wavelength channel to which the ONU needs to switch is not in the calibration record, where the first message includes a forced wavelength switching flag; and instructing the ONU to switch to the calibrated target wavelength channel. In this way, the ONU can implement wavelength switching quickly after calibrating a new wavelength channel so as to perform data communication over the calibrated new wavelength channel.

Claim (Index 1):
A data communications method in a passive optical network, wherein the method comprises:\n receiving, by an optical line terminal (OLT), a calibration record reported by an optical network unit (ONU), wherein the calibration record records all calibrated wavelength channels; sending a first message to the ONU when the OLT determines, according to the calibration record, that a target wavelength channel which the ONU needs to switch is not calibrated, wherein the first message comprises a forced wavelength switching flag, wherein the forced wavelength switching flag is used to instruct the ONU to perform wavelength channel calibration for the target wavelength channel to switch to and instruct the ONU to switch to the calibrated target wavelength channel; and receiving data sent by the ONU over the calibrated target wavelength channel.
