We propose a novel time-division multiplexing method with a dedicated frame structure for transmitting digital broadcasts to homes over FTTH. By using experimental equipment, it was revealed that the proposed method can be expected to serve more subscribers than does the conventional frequency-division multiplexing method, and it achieves a low transmission latency and short period of program selection time. In this paper, we introduce and investigate the advantages and challenges for the future of the proposed method from the aspect of the requirements for broadcasting.
