10、30-en. ii Rec. ITU-T G.8273.3/Y.1368.3 (10/2017) 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 perm

11、anent organ 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, establi

12、shes the 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 stand

13、ards are 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 Reco

14、mmendation 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

15、are used 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 In

16、tellectual 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 rec

17、eived notice 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/i

21、3.3/Y.1368.3 (10/2017) 1 Recommendation ITU-T G.8273.3/Y.1368.3 Timing characteristics of telecom transparent clocks 1 Scope This Recommendation specifies minimum requirements for time and phase synchronization devices used in synchronizing network equipment, which operates in the network architectu

22、re as defined in ITU-T G.8271 and ITU-T G.8275. It supports time and/or phase synchronization distribution for packet-based networks. The telecom transparent clock (T-TC) must be operating in end-to-end transparent clock (TC) mode. This Recommendation assumes operation within the framework specified

23、 in ITU-T G.8273, and that the physical layer reference chain behaviors given in ITU-T G.803 and ITU-T G.8261 are followed. It is also assumed that the network limits given in ITU-T G.8271.1 are met and that the profile given in ITU-T G.8275.1 is applied. This Recommendation allows for proper networ

24、k operation when a network equipment clock is timed from another network equipment clock or a higher quality clock. This Recommendation defines the minimum requirements for transparent clocks. These requirements apply under normal environmental conditions specified for the equipment. Guidelines for

25、testing are described in Appendix I. This version of the Recommendation focuses on syntonized T-TCs with frequency reference provided by the physical layer based on ITU-T G.8262 EEC-Option 1 (and ITU-T G.813 SEC-Option 1 as the requirements are identical). ITU-T G.8262 EEC-Option 2 and ITU-T G.813 S

26、EC-Option 2 are for further study. A T-TC without a frequency reference provided by the physical layer is for further study. NOTE This Recommendation does not modify the physical layer reference chain behaviour, according to ITU-T G.803 and ITU-T G.8261. This Recommendation does not exclude the use

27、of other physical layer clocks (e.g., ITU-T G.812 Type I) within the frequency transport network. The equipment specification of a T-TC assisted by a physical layer equipment clock, other than ITU-T G.8262 Option 1, such as ITU-T G.812 Type I, is for further study. 2 References The following ITU-T R

NOTE The T-TC model in this Recommendation does not exclude the use of other physical layer clocks (e.g., ITU-T G.812 Type I) within the equipment related to the operation between the physical layer input to physical layer output interface behaviour, in accordance to the existing ITU-T G.8

43、03 reference chain and ITU-T G.8261 network limits. In such cases, the equipment behaviour related to the interaction between the physical layer input and the precision time protocol (PTP) output is for further study. 7 Packet layer performance requirements 7.1 Constant phase/time error and dynamic

44、time error noise generation The noise generation of an T-TC represents the amount of noise produced at the output of the T-TC when there is an ideal input reference packet timing signal and, if the T-TC is supporting physical layer frequency reference, an ideal physical layer reference. The noise ge

45、neration is characterized by three parameters: maximum absolute time error (max|TE|), constant phase/time error (cTE) and dynamic time error (dTE) noise generation. 4 Rec.

46、TU-T G.8271 using different network topologies and network technologies, the max|TE|, cTE and dTE noise generation requirements for T-TCs are divided into two classes: Class A and Class B. A T-TC with physical layer support must meet the requirements stated in clauses 7.1.1, 7.1.2 and 7.1.3. 7.1.1 M

47、aximum absolute time error generation The time output of the T-TC should be accurate to within the max|TE|. This value includes all the unfiltered noise components, i.e., the cTE and the dTE noise generation. Table 1 Maximum absolute time error T-TC Class Maximum absolute time error max|TE| (ns) A 1

Values for signals above 10 GbE or below 1 GbE are for further study. 7.1.2 Constant phase/time error generation At the PTP outputs, the cTE generation for Class A and Class B is shown in Table 2.

Values for signals above 10 GbE or below 1 GbE are for further study. NOTE 2 Constant time error and the method to estimate are defined in ITU-T G.8260. For the purpose of testing the limits in Table 2, an estimate of constant time error should be obtained by averaging the time error sequence over 1000 s.
