11、G.8272.1/Y.1367.1 (2016)/Amd.1 (08/2017) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications, information and communication technologies (ICTs). The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent or

12、gan of ITU. 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 Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the

13、 topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval 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

14、 prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendati

15、on may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure, e.g., interoperability or applicability) and compliance 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

16、 to express requirements. The use of such words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is required 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 Intellectu

17、al Property Right. ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual 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 no

18、tice of intellectual property, protected by patents, which may be required to implement this Recommendation. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent the latest information and are therefore strongly urged to consult the TSB patent database at http:/www.itu.int/ITU-T/ipr/. ITU

23、l note: This is a complete-text publication. Modifications introduced by this amendment are shown in revision marks relative to Recommendation ITU-T G.8272.1/Y.1367.1 (2016). 1 Scope This Recommendation specifies the requirements for enhanced primary reference time clocks (ePRTCs) suitable for time,

24、 phase and frequency synchronization in packet networks. These requirements apply under the normal environmental conditions specified for the equipment. The ePRTC provides a reference time signal traceable to a recognized time standard (e.g., coordinated universal time (UTC) and also a frequency ref

25、erence. Compared to the primary reference time clock (PRTC) as defined in ITU-T G.8272, the ePRTC is subject to more stringent output performance requirements and includes a frequency input directly from an autonomous primary reference clock. The performance of the autonomous primary reference clock

26、 for this particular application is specified in Annex A. An ePRTC provides the reference signal for time, phase, and frequency synchronization for clocks within a network or section of a network. In particular, the ePRTC can also provide the reference signal to the telecom grand master (T-GM) withi

27、n the network node where the ePRTC is located. This Recommendation defines the ePRTC output requirements. The requirements for the ePRTC integrated with a T-GM clock are for further study. 2 References The following ITU-T Recommendations and other references contain provisions which, through referen

28、ce in this text, constitute provisions of this Recommendation. At the time of publication, the editions indicated were valid. All Recommendations and other references are subject to revision; users of this Recommendation are therefore encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most re

35、: 1) the constant time error (time offset) at its output compared to the applicable primary time standard (e.g., UTC); 2) the amount of phase error (wander and jitter) produced at its output. For characterization of the second aspect described above (phase error) the calculation of the maximum time

36、interval error (MTIE) and the time deviation (TDEV) is useful. Clause 6.1 defines the time error requirements applicable at the output of the ePRTC, which correspond to the combination of the two aspects described above (constant time error and phase error). No requirement is defined for the constan

37、t time error component taken alone, only when it is combined with the phase error. Clauses 6.2 and 6.3 define the wander and jitter requirements applicable at the output of the ePRTC, which correspond to the second aspect described above (phase error). The performance of the output of the combined e

38、PRTC and T-GM function is for further study. Rec. ITU-T G.8272.1/Y.1367.1 (2016)/Amd.1 (08/2017) 3 6.1 Time error in locked mode Under normal, locked operating conditions, the time output of the ePRTC should be accurate to within 30 ns or better when verified against the applicable primary time stan

39、dard (e.g., UTC). For the ePRTC this value includes all the noise components, i.e., the constant time error (time offset) and the phase error (wander and jitter) of the ePRTC. The combined ePRTC and T-GM function is for further study. Normal, locked operating conditions mean that: the ePRTC is fully

40、 locked to the incoming reference time signal, and is not operating in warm-up; there are no failures or facility errors in the reference path, including but not limited to antenna failures; the environmental conditions are within the operating limits specified for the equipment; the equipment is pr

41、operly commissioned and calibrated for fixed offsets such as antenna cable length, cable amplifiers and receiver delays; the reference time signal (e.g., global navigation satellite system (GNSS) signal) is operating within limits, as determined by the relevant operating authorities; if the referenc

42、e time signal is operated over a radio system such as GNSS, multipath reflections and interference from other local transmissions, such as jamming, must be minimized to an acceptable level; there are no extreme propagation anomalies, such as severe thunderstorms or solar flares. 6.2 Wander in locked

43、 mode The wander requirements apply to all the interfaces listed in clause 9.2.2. When the ePRTC is in the normal, locked mode of operation, the wander, expressed in MTIE, measured using a similar configuration as the synchronized clock configuration defined in Figure 1a of ITU-T G.810 (with the use

44、 of a time standard instead of a frequency standard), should have the following limits shown in Table 1: Table 1 Wander generation (MTIE) MTIE limit (ns) Observation interval (s) 4 0.1 400,000 The resultant requirements are shown in Figure 1. 4 Rec.

46、V, measured using a similar configuration as the synchronized clock configuration defined in Figure 1a of ITU-T G.810 (with the use of a time standard instead of a frequency standard), should have the following limits shown in Table 2: Table 2 Wander generation (TDEV) TDEV limit (ns) Observation int

Figure 2 TDEV as a function of an observation (integration) interval NOTE 2 For the 1 PPS output interface, the TDEV mask is

48、applicable for observation intervals greater than or equal to 1 second. The applicable MTIE and TDEV requirements for the 1 PPS output interfaces are based on the time interval error of the 1 PPS signal taken at one sample per second and without any low-pass filtering. The applicable MTIE and TDEV r

49、equirements for synchronous Ethernet, 2048 kHz, 2048 kbit/s and 1544 kbit/s output interfaces are measured through an equivalent 10 Hz, first-order, low-pass measurement filter, at a maximum sampling time 0 of 1/30 seconds. The applicable MTIE and TDEV requirements for an Ethernet interface carrying precision time protocol (PTP) messages are for further study. 6.3 Jitter 6.3.1 Output port jitter While most specifications in this Recommendation are independent of the out
