Abstract

Provided is a TDMA (time division multiple access) PON (passive optical network) OLT (optical line terminal) system for a broadcast service, including packet processor determining information according to types of frames (unicast, multicast, and broadcast frames) and a switch output port using header information (an IP address of a packet header, MAC (medium access control) addresses of Ethernet frames, and the like) of data received from an external node or the ONT (optical network terminal) and attaching the information to header parts of the frames to generate second data, a switch copying the second data by a predetermined number of times according to a transmission method and transmitting the second data to a corresponding destination output port according to the identification codes, M TDMA PON MAC processors removing the identification codes added to the second data and converting the second data into TDMA PON frames, and M optical transceivers converting the TDMA PON frames into optical signals and transmitting the optical signals to an ONT.
