Abstract
Examples relate to apparatuses, methods, and computer programs for a remote unit and a central unit of an optical line terminal. In particular, a central unit apparatus for an optical line terminal comprises one or more interfaces configured to communicate with one or more remote unit apparatuses via one or more communication links. The apparatus further comprises a processor configured to receive information on one or more upstream reports from the remote unit apparatuses, the upstream reports relate to one or more optical networks used by the remote unit apparatuses to communicate with a plurality of optical network users. The processor further determines information on bandwidth assignments for the plurality of optical network users based on the information on the one or more upstream reports and transmits the information on bandwidth assignments to the one or more remote unit apparatuses.
