12、ed Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications, information and communication technologies (ICTs). The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommend

13、ations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The appr

14、oval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administrat

15、ion“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure, e.g., interoperability or applicability) and complian

16、ce with the Recommendation is achieved when all of these mandatory provisions are met. The words “shall“ or some other obligatory language such as “must“ and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of such words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is r

17、equired of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTSITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intell

18、ectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside of the Recommendation development process. As of the date of approval of this Recommendation, ITU had not received notice of intellectual property, protected by patents, which may be required to implement this Recommendation.

42、88-2008. The terms dynamic time error (TE) and time noise are used interchangeably throughout this Recommendation to indicate jitter and wander components of the timing signal. 6 Network reference model The general network reference model is described in ITU-T G.8271. 7 Network limits The following

43、main (i.e., worst case) scenarios have been identified and are considered in the definition of the relevant network limits: deployment case 1: time distribution chain with telecom time slave clock (T-TSC) integrated into the end application and end application with a distributed architecture. In thi

44、s case, the performance specification of the T-TSC is outside the scope of ITU-T G.8273.2. deployment case 2: time distribution chain with a T-TSC external to the end application and end application with a distributed architecture. NOTE a specific equipment implementation may also be based on implem

45、enting a telecom boundary clock (T-BC) function (instead of a T-TSC function) and delivering the phase/time reference to the end application via a phase/time synchronization distribution interface. In this case, the performance specification of the T-TSC is defined in ITU-T G.8273.2. The deployment

46、cases are shown in Figure 7-1. 4 Rec. ITU-T G.8271.1/Y.1366.1 (10/2017) Figure 7-1 Time synchronization deployment cases NOTE An example of distributed architecture is the case of mobile applications where the base stations have the base band unit also called radio equipment control (REC) connected

47、remotely to the radio units also called radio equipment (RE). In this case, a point to point connection (e.g., via fibre) is assumed and chain topologies are possible. The TE budget applicable to this connection is assumed to be 150 ns; the details on the chain topology are for further study. 7.1 Ne

48、twork limits at reference point A The network limits applicable at reference point A, i.e., at the output of the primary reference time clock (PRTC), are specified in ITU-T G.8272. In particular, according to ITU-T G.8272, the maximum absolute TE is: |TE| 100 ns NOTE This limit is applicable under n

49、ormal, locked operating conditions. The limit under failure conditions at the PRTC is for further study. Dynamic TE network limits applicable at reference point A are also specified in ITU-T G.8272. 7.2 Network limits at reference point B In the case of a telecom grand master (T-GM) integrated into the PRTC, the network limits applicable at reference point B are the same as the limits applicable at reference point A. In the case of a T-GM ext
