We introduce a novel probabilistic shaping (PS) scheme based on bit-weighted distribution matching (BWDM) into a discrete multi-tone wavelength division multiplexing passive optical network (DMT-WDM-PON) employing low-density parity-check-coded 16-ary quadrature amplitude modulation (16QAM). Unlike the prevailing arithmetic coding-class PS schemes with target symbol probability, such as arithmetic distribution matching and constant composition distribution matching, the proposed one realizes Gaussian-like symbol probability distribution emulation merely based on simple bit-class processing, having the advantage of much lower computational complexity. As the key operation in BWDM, the bit weight intervention is implemented in the process of PS-16QAM generation for elevated transmission probability of binary data '0' by cascaded operations of weight bit labelling and bit reconstruction.
