    Abstract: Techniques for efficiently utilize the available bandwidth in a communication network are described. One example implementation includes a method of optical communication including receiving bandwidth requests from multiple network devices in an optical network, receiving communication capability information about the multiple network devices, generating a transmission schedule that specifies transmissions in the optical network in multiple time slots with a corresponding modulation format, and transmitting and/or receiving data based on the transmission schedule.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for optical signal transmission, particularly with carrier-less amplitude and phase (CAP) modulation and direct detection, are disclosed. In one exemplary aspect, a method of optical signal transmission is disclosed. The method includes receiving information bits at an input interface; mapping the information bits to a plurality of modulation symbols; separating in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) components of the plurality of modulation symbols such that the I and Q components form a Hilbert pair in a resulting signal; pre-dispersing the resulting signal with an inverse of a phase delay of an expected chromatic dispersion to obtain a pre-dispersed signal; converting the pre-dispersed signal from digital domain to analog domain using a digital to analog conversion circuit; performing modulation of an output of the digital to analog conversion circuit to generate an output signal; and transmitting, over an optical transmission medium, the output signal from the modulation.

    Abstract: A digital communication technique, implementable in a digital communication system, includes performing a training phase in which the transmitter sends one or more transmissions of pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) signals wherein the PAM signals are modulated using one or more data-to-PAM-symbol mapping schemes, performing a feedback phase in which the transmitter receives a feedback message from a receiver, the feedback message indicative of a change to be made to data-to-PAM-symbol modulation schemes, and implementing a data transmission phase in which data is transmitted using a current PAM symbol mapping scheme based on the feedback message, wherein at least some symbols of the current PAM symbol modulation scheme are unequally spaced with respect to each other.

    Abstract: A method of communication includes receiving, by an optical line terminal (OLT), a registration request from an optical network unit (ONU) through a specific upstream wavelength, assigning, by the OLT, out of a plurality of normal service upstream wavelengths and a plurality of normal service downstream wavelengths in a wavelength resource pool, a normal service upstream wavelength and a normal service downstream wavelength to the ONU for a normal service between the ONU and the OLT, and informing, through a specific downstream wavelength, the ONU of information regarding the normal service upstream wavelength and the normal service downstream wavelength. The specific downstream and upstream wavelengths are reserved for a registration process that includes receiving, through the specific upstream wavelength, the registration request and sending, through the specific downstream wavelength, the information regarding the normal service upstream wavelength and the normal service downstream wavelength.
