摘要 |
Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method for detecting an upstream timeslot conflict in a Passive Optical Network (PON). An Optical Line Terminal (OLT) detects a timeslot conflict in an upstream timeslot. An OLT is provided also, including an optical receiver, an optical transmitter, a control unit and a detection unit. The detection unit receives an optical signal from the optical receiver, samples instantaneous optical power of the optical signal in an upstream timeslot, compares the instantaneous optical power with normal upstream optical power of the upstream timeslot, and detects that a timeslot conflict occurs in the upstream timeslot when the instantaneous optical power exceeds normal upstream optical power of the upstream timeslot. Embodiments of the present invention make the costs lower to detect an upstream timeslot conflict in the PON.
