A method for scheduling resources for a Wavelength Division Multiplexed, WDM, Passive Optical Network, PON. The WDM PON comprises a central hub () and a plurality of remote Optical Network Terminals, ONTs, () handling different types of communications traffic. The method () comprises receiving () a notification message from the plurality of remote Optical Network Terminals, ONTs, indicating a loading status of the ONT, and allocating () one or more slots to a plurality of the ONTs based on the received notification messages from the ONTs, wherein the plurality of ONTs () handle different types of communications traffic. The slots () are allocated based on the received notification messages as a time slot which is time division multiplexed with further time slots, and the slots are further allocated based on the received notification messages as an optical wavelength of a plurality of optical wavelengths of the WDM PON.
