| 1. A method for adjusting a data transmission packet preamble length in an optical network, wherein the packet comprises a
preamble followed by data bits, comprising the steps of:
measuring a signal strength of a signal received from at least one optical network unit (ONU) in the optical network at an
optical line terminator (OLT); and
causing the at least one ONU to transmit a packet having a preamble with a length responsive to the measured signal strength.
