36、underlying infrastructure. While traditional network synchronization has relied on the accurate distribution of frequency, evolving wireless networks require the distribution of accurate time and phase. As the network evolves from a primarily TDM-based network infrastructure to one using packet-base
37、d technology, the ability to distribute synchronization is also changing. Rec. ITU-T G.8275/Y.1369 (11/2013) 3 In order to enable timing distribution in packet-based networks, the ITU-T developed specifications (ITU-T G.8261, ITU-T G.8262 and ITU-T G.8264) for synchronous Ethernet, which allowed the
38、 use of the Ethernet physical layer to be used as a mechanism to distribute frequency analogous to the methods used with SDH-based network synchronization. In this regard, synchronous Ethernet, by appropriate specification of network equipment clocks provided support for the existing frequency-based
39、 synchronization network over both existing TDM and new packet-based technology. In the absence of the ability to utilize the physical layer, the ITU also developed Recommendations covering frequency distribution using packet-based methods such as precision time protocol (PTP) and network time proto
40、col (NTP). The use of packet-based methods also enabled new frequency synchronization scenarios to be considered. These, as well as other aspects specific to packet-based frequency distribution, resulted in the development of an architectural specification ITU-T G.8265. This Recommendation describes
41、 the architecture for packet-based time and phase distribution. 6.1 Requirements for packet-based time and phase distribution Packet-based mechanisms for time and phase distribution must meet the following requirements: 1) Mechanisms must be specified to allow interoperability between the various ph
42、ase/time clocks defined in this architecture. 2) Mechanisms must permit consistent operation over managed wide area telecom networks. 3) Packet-based mechanisms must allow the synchronization network to be designed and configured in a fixed arrangement. 4) Protection schemes used by packet-based sys
43、tems must be based on standard telecom operational practice and allow telecom time slave clocks (T-TSC) the ability to take phase and time from multiple geographically separate telecom grand master (T-GM) clocks. 5) Phase/time reference source selection based on received phase/time traceability and
44、local priority should be permitted. Automatic establishment of the phase/time synchronization network topology may also be possible. 7 Architecture of packet-based time/phase distribution In contrast to physical layer synchronization, where the significant edges of a data signal define the timing co
45、ntent of the signal, packet-based methods rely on the transmission of dedicated “event packets“. These “event packets“ form the significant instants of a packet timing signal. The timing of these significant instants is precisely measured relative to a master time source, and this timing information
46、 is encoded in the form of a time stamp, which is a machine-readable representation of a specific instance of time. The time stamp is generated via a packet master function and is carried over a packet network to a packet slave clock. A protocol is used between the master and the slave clocks in ord
47、er to adjust for transmission and other delays, resulting in both the master and slave clocks having the same time reference. As time is the integral of frequency, the time stamps can also be used to derive frequency. This case is covered in ITU-T G.8265 and ITU-T G.8265.1. 7.1 Packet-based time and
48、 phase distribution A time reference is initially obtained from a primary reference time clock (PRTC). If the time across the system is required to be referenced to UTC or to some other universal standard source of time, the PRTC itself may require a time reference input such as a GNSS signal. 4 Rec
49、. ITU-T G.8275/Y.1369 (11/2013) For the purposes of time and phase synchronization transport, the packet master delivers its reference to the packet slave clocks using a packet timing signal (see ITU-T G.8260). In order to achieve better accuracy, protocol-level timing support may be used at the various network nodes. Specifically for the IEEE 1588 PTP protocol, these intermediate devices are termed boundary clocks (BCs) or transparent clocks (TCs). The architecture described in thi
