ITU-T G.8271/Y.1366 (07/2016) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications, information and communication
12、 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 Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World
13、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 approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In so
14、me 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 “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recogniz
15、ed operating agency. Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation 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 word
16、s “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 required of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTSITU draws attention to the possibility that t
17、he 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 Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside of the Recommendation
18、 development process.

25、 aspects of packet networks 1 Scope This Recommendation defines time and phase synchronization aspects in packet networks. It specifies the suitable methods to distribute the reference timing signals that can be used to recover the phase synchronization and/or time synchronization according to the r
26、equired quality. It also specifies the relevant time and phase synchronization interfaces and related performance. The packet networks that are in the scope of this Recommendation are currently limited to the following scenarios: Ethernet (IEEE 802.3 and IEEE 802.1Q). MPLS (IETF RFC 3031 and ITU-T G
27、.8110). IP (IETF RFC 791 and RFC 2460). The physical layers that are relevant to this specification are the Ethernet media types, as defined in IEEE 802.3. 2 References The following ITU-T Recommendations and other references contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provi

40、 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. The term telecom boundary clock (T-BC) is a device consisting of a boundary clock as defined in IEEE 1588 and with add
41、itional performance characteristics for further study. The term telecom transparent clock (T-TC) is a device consisting of a transparent clock as defined in IEEE 1588 and with additional performance characteristics for further study. The term telecom grandmaster (T-GM) is a device consisting of a gr
42、andmaster clock as defined in IEEE 1588 and with additional performance characteristics for further study. The term telecom time slave clock (T-TSC) is a device consisting of a PTP slave only ordinary clock as defined in IEEE 1588 and with additional performance characteristics for further study. 6
43、The need for time and phase synchronization Time synchronization has 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 appl
44、ication is the monitoring of delays in Internet protocol (IP) networks. 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
45、to the generation of signals over the air interface of some mobile 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 cas
46、e of time division duplexing (TDD) systems (for instance, LTE TDD), 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 4 Rec. ITU-T G.8271/Y.1366 (07/2016) pr
47、operly in networks that satisfy the 50 ppb frequency accuracy requirement. This requirement, which 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
48、 be accurate to within a few microseconds. This is because identical 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
49、cells as though they came from a single cell. Therefore, all transmissions 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
