ITU-T G.8271/Y.1366 (02/2012) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications, information and communication technologies (ICTs).
10、 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 Telecommunication Sta
11、ndardization 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 some areas of informati
12、on 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 recognized operating agency.
13、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 words “shall“ or some oth
14、er 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 RIGHTS ITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or imple
15、mentation 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 development process
16、. As of the date of approval of this Recommendation, ITU had not received 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 u

22、on aspects of packet networks 1 Scope This ITU-T 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
23、to the required 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, IEEE 802.1D, IEEE 802.1ad, IEEE 802.1Q,
24、and IEEE 802.1Qay). MPLS (IETF RFC 3031 and ITU-T G.8110). IP (IETF RFC 791 and RFC 2460). The physical layer that is relevant to this specification is the Ethernet media types, as defined in IEEE Standard 802.3-2005. 2 References The following ITU-T Recommendations and other references contain prov
25、isions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this Recommendation. At the time of publication, the editions indicated were valid.

36、ideband CDMA WDM Wavelength-Division-Multiplexing 5 Conventions Within this Recommendation, the following conventions are used: The term precision time protocol (PTP) is the protocol defined by IEEE 1588-2008. As an adjective, it indicates that the modified noun is specified in or interpreted in the
37、 context of IEEE 1588-2008. The term telecom boundary clock (T-BC) is a device consisting of a boundary clock as defined in IEEE1588-2008 and with additional performance characteristics for further study. The term telecom transparent clock (T-TC) is a device consisting of a transparent clock as defi
38、ned in IEEE1588-2008 and with additional performance characteristics for further study. The term telecom grandmaster (T-GM) is a device consisting of a grandmaster clock as defined in IEEE1588-2008 and with additional performance characteristics for further study. The term telecom time slave clock (
39、T-TSC) is a device consisting of a PTP slave only ordinary clock as defined in IEEE1588-2008 and with additional performance characteristics for further study. 6 The need for phase and time synchronization Time synchronization has traditionally been required to support billing and alarm functions (m
40、aintenance 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 IP networks. In this case, the requirement is accuracy to within some hundreds of microseconds (the
41、 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 systems, such as CDMA2000 or LTE FDD unicast, when it is required to support synchronous CD
42、MA2000 interworking. Phase synchronization is often needed to support requirements for the air interface of some mobile systems, as in the case of TDD systems (for instance, LTE TDD), or when supporting multimedia broadcast/multicast service (MBMS). Note that ordinary WCDMA MBMS does not require acc
43、urate 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 is guaranteed by the WCDMA node synchronization function (see b-ETSI TS 125 402), limits phase drift to between 10 and 20
44、ms. But when MBMS is based on single-frequency network (MBSFN) mode, timing must 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 ce
45、ll. Terminals must thus perceive the signals of an entire group of transmitting 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. 4 Rec. ITU-T G.8271/Y.1366 (02/2012) The main requir
46、ements 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 applications into classes of requirements, as shown in Table 1 below. Table 1 Time and phase requirem
