  • Patent number: 12003611
    Abstract: An item of ONU equipment configures itself to communicate by a first transport system with OLT equipment in an optical access network, and starts a synchronisation for the first transport system and transmits by means of the first transport system. The ONU equipment transmits, via a protocol layer supervising any transport system of the optical access network, without waiting for the end of the synchronisation for the first transport system, information dependent on identifiers of the user equipment and the first transport system. When the transport system to be used is not the first transport system, the protocol layer supervising any transport system of the optical access network interrupts the synchronisation at the OLT equipment, and the ONU equipment reattempts the synchronisation with a second transport system; otherwise the synchronisation continues for the first transport system until the ONU equipment is put in communication in the optical access network.
