Abstract
The disclosure provides an optical network system, an Optical Line Terminal (OLT), an Optical Network Unit (ONU) and an Optical Distribution Network (ODN) apparatus. The system includes: an OLT configured to modulate and encode at least one line of time-division-multiplexed downlink signals, synthesize the downlink signals encoded into one line and then output it, receive uplink signals, and decode the uplink signals received and then output them; an ODN configured to separate the downlink signals received into multiple lines and then output them, synthesize the uplink signals received into one line, and then output it to the OLT; and ONUs configured to receive the downlink signals output from the ODN, decode the downlink signals received and output them, encode one line of time-division-multiplexed uplink signals, and output the uplink signals encoded to the ODN. Decoding of the downlink signals and encoding of the uplink signals can further be implemented by the ODN. By means of the solution of the disclosure, a hybrid Passive Optical Network (PON) system based on a Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) technology and an Optical Code Division Multiple Access (OCDMA) technology.
