ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telec

The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some ar

It specifies the suitable methods to distribute the reference timing signals that can be used to recover the phase synchronization and/or time sync

27、hronization according to the required quality. It also specifies the relevant time and phase synchronization interfaces and related performance. The telecommunication networks that are in the scope of this Recommendation are currently limited to the following scenarios: Ethernet (IEEE 802.3 and IEEE

28、 802.1Q). MPLS (IETF RFC 3031 and ITU-T G.8110). IP (IETF RFC 791 and RFC 2460). OTN (ITU-T G.709). The physical layers that are relevant to this specification are the Ethernet media types, as defined in IEEE 802.3 and, for OTN, the Optical OCh layer with OTU frame as defined in ITU-T G.709. 2 Refer

42、tion, the following conventions are used: The term precision time protocol (PTP) is the protocol defined by IEEE 1588. As an adjective, it indicates that the modified noun is specified in or interpreted in the context of IEEE 1588. 6 The need for time and phase synchronization Time synchronization h

43、as traditionally been required to support billing and alarm functions (maintenance or fault isolation). In this context, synchronization must in general be accurate to within hundreds of milliseconds. Another time synchronization application is the monitoring of delays in Internet protocol (IP) netw

44、orks. In this case, the requirement is accuracy to within some hundreds of microseconds (the actual requirement depends on the application). Stringent time synchronization requirements (i.e., in the range of a few microseconds) apply to the generation of signals over the air interface of some mobile

45、 systems, such as CDMA2000 or LTE FDD unicast, when it is required to support synchronous CDMA2000 interworking. Phase synchronization is often needed to support requirements for the air interface of some mobile systems, as in the case of time division duplexing (TDD) systems (for instance, LTE TDD)

46、, or when supporting multimedia broadcast/multicast service (MBMS). Note that ordinary WCDMA MBMS does not require accurate phase synchronization since it has been specified and designed to work properly in networks that satisfy the 50 ppb frequency accuracy requirement. This requirement, which 4 Re

47、c. ITU-T G.8271/Y.1366 (08/2017) is guaranteed by the WCDMA node synchronization function (see b-3GPP TS 25.402), limits phase drift to between 10 and 20 ms. But when MBMS is based on single-frequency network (MBSFN) mode, timing must be accurate to within a few microseconds. This is because identic

48、al waveforms are transmitted simultaneously from multiple cells. The signals from these cells are then combined as the multipath components of a single cell. Terminals must thus perceive the signals of an entire group of transmitting cells as though they came from a single cell. Therefore, all trans

49、missions must be very tightly synchronized and deliver exactly the same content to each base station. The main requirements applicable at the output of the application (e.g., on the radio interface in the case of a wireless application) are summarized in Appendix II. Based on Table II.1, it is possible to classify the applications into classes of requirements, as shown in Table 1 below. NOTE In the case of mobile applications as described in T
