Systems and methods according to these exemplary embodiments provide for mechanisms and methods that allow for improving the efficiency of a passive optical network (PON). Upstream data transmission can occur by allowing an optical network unit (ONU) cycle to overlap more than one GPON transmission convergence (GTC) frame. Additionally, or alternatively, multiple different bandwidth maps can be transmitted per dynamic bandwidth allocation (DBA) cycle to inform ONUs of their respective, upstream bandwidth allocations.
