Abstract
Provided are a method and apparatus for registering a new terminal using chromatic dispersion distance estimation. The method of registering a new terminal, performed by a transport unit (TU), includes performing frame synchronization through a downstream packet received from a transport node (TN), identifying a position of a frequency of a spectral null and a number of frequencies of spectral nulls through analysis on a frequency spectrum of the received downstream packet, estimating a transmission distance of an optical fiber to the TN, based on the identified position of the frequency of the spectral null and the identified number of frequencies of spectral nulls, and determining a timing of transmitting a registration request message, based on the estimated transmission distance, where the discovery information message is received from the TN.
