Abstract: An optical transmission network is disclosed that classifies digital broadcast channel data according to virtual channel connection (VCC) before transmission. In the optical transmission network, an optical signal receiver converts an optical signal from an optical line terminal (OLT) into an ATM cell that is classified according to the VCC.

A transmitter adapted for the broadcast/communication convergence converts input broadcast data into a parallel format, inserts port identification (Port ID) information into each of the broadcast data converted into the parallel format and input communication data, multiplexes the broadcast data and the communication data, and transmits a broadcast/communication convergence signal based on a result of the multiplexing through a single transmission channel. A receiver adapted for the broadcast/communication convergence demultiplexes the broadcast/communication convergence signal using the Port ID information to be separated into the broadcast data and the communication data when the broadcast/communication convergence signal is received, and outputs data to a corresponding destination.
