An upstream signal timing control method which controls a timing of an upstream optical signal, from a terminal device to a center device, to a timing that the center device intends. Optical clock pulses synchronized with the timing that the center device intends are sent from the center device to the terminal device. The terminal device delay-controls the optical clock pulses and retransmits them to the center device. The center device detects an offset between the timing and a timing of the returned optical clock pulses, and applies timing offset information to the transmitted optical clock pulses. The terminal device performs the delay control in accordance with the timing offset information applied to the received optical clock pulses. When the offset between the timing and the returned optical clock pulse timing is at or below a threshold, the center device verifies completion of timing control of the upstream optical signal.
