Abstract
Methods for increasing upstream bandwidth utilization in an Ethernet passive optical network (EPON) use in some instances round-down instead of round-up occupancy values reported to an optical line terminal. An optical network unit determines whether the occupancy needs to be round-up or round-down and reports the occupancy in either round-up or round-down report units to the optical network terminal.
