In a communication system in which data is transferred by packets, a ranging method in which a receiver, in a given ranging window, periodically compares received data with expected data to find a match. The periodic comparison includes searching for known preamble and/or delimiter sequences of ranging packets and involves timeouts for each search period. In case a match between the known sequences and received sequences is not found and the respective timeout is exceeded, the search and comparison process is restarted and continues until a global timeout is exceeded.

1. In a passive optical network in which data is transferred by packets, a ranging method comprising the steps of: by an optical line terminal: a. After start of a ranging window, periodically comparing received data with expected data to find a match therebetween;b. in case of a match failure, restarting the comparison within the same ranging window until a match is found, wherein said restarting always includes activating an analog front end of a receiver by resetting the analog front end of the receiver and resetting a receiving clock and data recovery component of the receiver; andc. upon finding a match, moving to a steady state operation regime. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of periodically comparing received data with expected data includes searching an incoming data stream for a known packet preamble until the preamble is found or until a first timeout is exceeded, wherein the exceeding of the first timeout represents a first match failure. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein the step of periodically comparing received data with expected data includes searching an incoming data stream for a known packet delimiter that is different from said preamble until the delimiter is found or until a second timeout is exceeded, wherein the exceeding of the second timeout represents a second match failure. 4. The method of claim 2, wherein the step of periodically comparing ends in a match failure and wherein the step of restarting includes restarting the comparing until a global timeout is exceeded. 5. The method of claim 3, wherein the step of periodically comparing ends in a match failure and wherein the step of restarting includes restarting the comparing until a global timeout is exceeded. 6. The method of claim 4, wherein the global timeout is equal to the ranging window. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein said activating is in response to said restarting. 8. In a passive optical network in which data is transferred by packets, a ranging method comprising the steps of: by an optical line terminal: a. After start of a ranging window: i. activating a receiver analog front end by resetting the receiver analog front end and resetting a receiving clock and data recovery component, and thenii. searching for a ranging packet section until the ranging packet section is found or until a respective timeout is exceeded;b. if the packet section is not found or if the respective timeout is exceeded, checking if a global timeout TO3 is exceeded and if not;c. repeating the steps of searching and checking within the same ranging window until global timeout TO3 is exceeded, wherein said repeating includes always repeating the activating of the receiver analog front end by resetting the receiver analog front end and resetting the receiving clock and data recovery component in addition to repeating the steps of searching and checking. 9. The method of claim 8, further comprising the step of: d. if the packet section is found in the step of searching, moving to a steady state operation regime. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein the step of searching for a ranging packet section includes ranging for a delimiter section. 11. The method of claim 9, wherein the step of searching for a ranging packet section includes searching for two packet sections each associated with a respective timeout. 12. The method of claim 11, wherein the two packet sections include: a. a preamble section, andb. a delimiter section that is different from said preamble section. 13. The method of claim 9, wherein the global timeout is equal to the ranging window. 14. The method of claim 8, wherein said repeating of said activating of said receiver analog front end is in response to said repeating of said searching. 15. A ranging method applied in a passive optical network and comprising the steps of: by an optical line terminal: a. starting a ranging window; andb. within the same ranging window, performing an iterative search and comparison process on incoming packet data, the iterative process involving a ranging packet, until at least one ranging packet section is matched with at least one received packet data section or until a global timeout TO3 is exceeded, wherein each iteration of said search and comparison process includes activating a receiver analog front end by resetting the receiver analog front end and resetting a receiving clock and data recovery component. 16. The method of claim 15, wherein the step of performing an iterative search and comparison process includes using a respective timeout at an intermediate stage of the ranging window if a match is not found between the at least one ranging packet section and at least one received packet data section in that intermediate stage. 17. The method of claim 15, wherein, in each said iteration, said activating of said receiver analog front end is in response to commencement of said each iteration.
