Abstract
Example embodiments describe an optical line terminal (OLT) configured to communicate in a point-to-multipoint optical network with optical network units (ONUs); where upstream burst signals originating from one or more ONUs can be received by the OLT at any time during a time window. The OLT is configured to perform, during the time window, initiating a tuning cycle by starting the tuning of one or more burst receiver components within the OLT. The OLT is further configured to perform, if detecting a burst signal within a first period, extending the tuning cycle by a second period to continue the tuning of the one or more burst receiver components. The OLT is further configured to perform, if detecting at least pattern within the second period, extending the tuning cycle to decode the burst signal; else, terminating the tuning cycle by initiating a next tuning cycle.
