Abstract
A data communications system which provides multiple logical channels on a passive optical network (PON) using subcarrier multiple access (SCMA). The PON includes multiple optical network units (ONU) which each communicate with a head-end over a logical channel. Collisions among upstream transmissions are thereby avoided and high speed Ethernet service over large distances is made possible.
