Embodiment
Consider that existing mobile multimedia broadcast system could be to the local clock of terminal synchronously once every a second, and service application requires the error of terminal clock in 0.1 second, only pass through the synchronous of mobile multimedia broadcast system, can't reach error requirements to terminal clock, therefore, the present invention calculates shift time by the time slot of the control logic channel occupancy of employing mobile multimedia broadcast system, the system clock that shift time and system are issued adds up and obtains position, when the terminal local clock does not reach required precision, adopt the more local clock of new terminal of position.
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing the specific embodiment of the present invention is described.
Figure 2 shows that the present invention carries out the method for clock synchronization, comprising:
Step 201: mobile multimedia broadcast system regularly sends Frame to terminal, and wherein, the control information that sends on the control logic channel in the Frame comprises system clock;
Mobile multimedia broadcast system regularly sends Frame to terminal, send control information by the control logic channel, corresponding network configuration information is provided in the network information table of control information, 40 bit fields that comprise tag system clock T0, wherein, preceding 16 bit representation MJD (simplification Julian date) date code; 24 of backs are by 4 BCD coding, the system clock that is accurate to second of totally 6 numerals.
Step 202: terminal is received in the control information of carrying in the Frame that sends on the control logic channel, adopts the system clock in the control information to upgrade local clock, and the caching system clock;
Step 203: the data that on service logical channels, send in the terminal receiving data frames, the time slot of selecting service logical channels to take calculates the shift time of the system clock that carries in the relative control information of selected time slot;
The service logical channels of carrying Frame can be one or more, and by the mobile multimedia broadcast system configuration, each service logical channels takies the integer time slot more than 1 or 1.Physical layer signal was 1 Frame in per 1 second, was divided into 40 time slots, and each slot length is 25ms.
For example, the current reception service logical channels of terminal n, service logical channels n takies time slot 38 and 39, the shift time of the system clock T0 of time slot 38 relative terminal buffers is that the number of time slots that is offset between the time slot 0 of time slot 38 and same data frames multiply by slot length 25ms, that is: 25ms * 38=950ms.
When service logical channels takies a plurality of time slot, the first time slot that can only select service logical channels to take calculates shift time, also can select a time slot to calculate shift time, or each time slot that service logical channels takies is all calculated shift time every one or more time slots.
Step 204: terminal is to the system clock of the shift time that calculated and the buffer memory acquisition position that adds up;
Terminal adds up shift time 950ms and system clock T0 and obtains position.
Step 205: terminal compares local clock and position, judges whether local clock satisfies required precision, if the terminal local clock does not satisfy the clock accuracy requirement, then, carries out next step; Otherwise, finish;
If the error between terminal local clock and the position then satisfied the clock accuracy requirement in 0.1 second; Otherwise, do not satisfy the clock accuracy requirement.
Step 206: terminal adopts position to upgrade local clock.
When a plurality of time slots of selecting service logical channels to take calculated shift time, for the position of relativity shift time, the sequencing that needs to press position upgraded local clock.
Terminal is a benchmark with the local clock after upgrading, and the data that send on the service logical channels that receives are handled.
Figure 3 shows that the present invention carries out the device of clock synchronization, this device comprises: receiver module and clock correction module, wherein:
Receiver module is used for receiving the control information that Frame that mobile multimedia broadcast system sends carries on the control logic channel, adopt the system clock in the control information to upgrade local clock, and the caching system clock; And the data that on service logical channels, send in the receiving data frames.
Correction module is used to the time slot of selecting service logical channels to take, calculates the shift time of the system clock that carries in the relative control information of selected time slot; To the system clock of the shift time that calculated and the buffer memory acquisition position that adds up; Local clock and position are compared,, then adopt position to upgrade local clock if the terminal local clock does not satisfy the clock accuracy requirement.
For example, the current reception service logical channels of receiver module n, service logical channels n takies time slot 38 and 39, the method that correction module calculates the shift time of time slot 38 relative system clock T0 is: the number of time slots of skew between the time slot 0 of time slot 38 and same data frames be multiply by slot length 25ms, that is: 25ms * 38=950ms, shift time 950ms and system clock T0 added up obtains position.
When service logical channels takies a plurality of time slot, the first time slot that can only select service logical channels to take calculates shift time, also can select a time slot to calculate shift time every one or more time slots, or each time slot that service logical channels takies all calculated shift time, and further calculate position.When a plurality of time slots that position selects service logical channels to take calculated shift time, for the position that obtains according to the relativity shift Time Calculation, the sequencing that needs to press position upgraded local clock.
It should be noted last that above embodiment is only unrestricted in order to technical scheme of the present invention to be described, the modification that those of ordinary skill in the art carries out technical scheme of the present invention or be equal to replacement all is encompassed in the middle of the claim scope of the present invention.
