Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A data transmission method includes receiving, by an optical line terminal (OLT) from an optical network unit (ONU), uplink burst data that includes a synchronization data block and a payload, where the synchronization data block includes first synchronization data, wherein the first synchronization data includes a first preamble and an ONU identifier, and a first bandwidth occupied by the first frequency distribution of the first synchronization data is narrower than a second bandwidth occupied by the second frequency distribution of the payload, and obtaining, by the OLT from the first synchronization data, the ONU identifier.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A data transmission method implemented by an optical line terminal (OLT), wherein the method comprises: receiving, from an optical network unit (ONU), uplink burst data comprising a synchronization data block and a payload, wherein the synchronization data block comprises first synchronization data, wherein the first synchronization data comprises a first frequency distribution, a first preamble, and an ONU identifier, wherein the payload comprises a second frequency distribution, and wherein a first bandwidth occupied by the first frequency distribution is narrower than a second bandwidth occupied by the second frequency distribution; and obtaining, from the first synchronization data, the ONU identifier. 2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the synchronization data block further comprises second synchronization data comprising a third frequency distribution, and wherein a third bandwidth occupied by the third frequency distribution is wider than the first bandwidth. 3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein a first transmission rate of the second synchronization data is equal to a second transmission rate of the payload. 4 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the second synchronization data further comprises a second delimiter. 5 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the third bandwidth is an integer multiple of the first bandwidth. 6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first synchronization data further comprises a first delimiter. 7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein obtaining the ONU identifier further comprises: recovering, based on the first preamble, a first clock; and identifying, from the first synchronization data using the first clock, the ONU identifier. 8 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising: configuring, based on a prestored correspondence between the ONU identifier and an equalization parameter, the equalization parameter, wherein the equalization parameter corresponds to the ONU identifier; and performing, based on the equalization parameter, equalization on the payload. 9 . A data transmission method implemented by an optical network unit (ONU), wherein the method comprises: generating uplink burst data comprising a synchronization data block and a payload, wherein the synchronization data block comprises first synchronization data, wherein the first synchronization data comprises a first frequency distribution, a first preamble, and an ONU identifier, wherein the payload comprises a second frequency distribution, and wherein a first bandwidth occupied by the first frequency distribution is narrower than a second bandwidth occupied by the second frequency distribution; and sending, to an optical line terminal (OLT), the uplink burst data. 10 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the synchronization data block further comprises second synchronization data comprising a third frequency distribution, and wherein a third bandwidth occupied by the third frequency distribution is wider than the first bandwidth. 11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein a first transmission rate of the second synchronization data is equal to a second transmission rate of the payload. 12 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the second synchronization data further comprises a second delimiter. 13 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the third bandwidth is an integer multiple of the first bandwidth. 14 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the first synchronization data further comprises a first delimiter. 15 . An optical line terminal (OLT) comprising a receiver configured to receive, from an optical network unit (ONU), uplink burst data comprising a synchronization data block and a payload, wherein the synchronization data block comprises first synchronization data, wherein the first synchronization data comprises a first frequency distribution, a first preamble, and an ONU identifier, wherein the payload comprises a second frequency distribution, and wherein a first bandwidth occupied by the first frequency distribution is narrower than a second bandwidth occupied by the second frequency distribution; and a processor coupled to the receiver and configured to obtain, from the first synchronization data, the ONU identifier. 16 . The OLT of claim 15 , wherein the synchronization data block further comprises second synchronization data comprising a third frequency distribution, and wherein a third bandwidth occupied by the third frequency distribution is wider than the first bandwidth. 17 . The OLT of claim 16 , wherein a first transmission rate of the second synchronization data is equal to a second transmission rate of the payload. 18 . The OLT of claim 15 , wherein the processor is further configured to: recover, based on the first preamble, a first clock; and identify, from the first synchronization data using the first clock, the ONU identifier. 19 . The OLT of claim 15 , wherein the processor is further configured to: configure, based on a prestored correspondence between the ONU identifier and an equalization parameter, the equalization parameter, wherein the equalization parameter corresponds to the ONU identifier; and perform, based on the equalization parameter, equalization on the payload. 20 . The OLT of claim 15 , wherein the first synchronization data further comprises a first delimiter.
