Abstract:
A method and apparatus for communications in a passive optical network (PON) system are provided. An optical line terminal (OLT) generates a PON downstream Physical Layer (PHY) frame comprising a downstream physical synchronization block (PSBd) that comprises a wavelength identification (ID) of at least one downstream wavelength of the plurality of downstream wavelengths. The OLT sends the PON PHY frame comprising the wavelength ID in the PSBd to ONU for confirming the at least one downstream wavelength.

Claim (Index 1):
A method implemented by an optical network unit (ONU) for communications in a multiple-wavelength time division multiplexing (TDM) passive optical network (PON) system that supports a plurality of downstream wavelength channels, the method comprising:\n receiving, by the ONU, a downstream Physical Layer (PHY) frame comprising a downstream physical synchronization block (PSBd) and a PHY frame payload, the PSBd comprising a PON identifier field including a wavelength identification (ID) of a downstream wavelength channel of the plurality of downstream wavelength channels; and processing, by the ONU, the downstream Physical Layer (PHY) frame.
