Description

A kind of clock grade stage division and relevant device
Technical field
The present invention relates to the communications field, relate in particular to a kind of clock grade stage division and relevant device.
Background technology
(the IEEE of IEEE-USA, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) 1588v2 precision interval clock synchronous protocol (PTP, Precision Time Protocol) clock synchronous of dispersion, independent operating in measurement and control system can be got up, synchronization accuracy can reach submicrosecond level.Fig. 1 is the Time Synchronizing in telecommunications application scenarios, as shown in Figure 1, time synchronism equipment 11, load bearing equipment 12 and base station 13 are enabled after PTP, the time in main reference time source 10 can be transferred to base station 13 by time synchronism equipment 11 and load bearing equipment 12, so just need to not configure main reference time source separately in each base station, thereby can reduce the programmed cost of network.
In PTP agreement, each clockwork (comprising time synchronism equipment, load bearing equipment and base station) definition has the clock attribute of self, according to these clock attributes, based on best master clock algorithm (BMC, Best Master Clock) can calculate the master slave relation of clockwork in network, thereby by adjusting local zone time, realize principal and subordinate's time synchronized from clockwork.In clock attribute, by clock grade clockclass parameter, defined the clock quality rank of clockwork, if table 1 is main clockclass parameter value and the implication of 1588v2 protocol definition:
Table 1
Figure BDA0000099736160000011
Wherein, the value outside bracket is the undefined clockclass parameter value of target scene while using PTP, and the value in bracket is the undefined clockclass parameter value of target scene while using independent (ARB, arbitrary).
In actual 1588v2 application, the variation of the ClockClass parameter value by time synchronism equipment comes the clock quality of reflecting time synchronizer to change.Suppose that table 2 is for the current clock attribute of each clockwork in Fig. 1 is (for ease of two time synchronism equipments 11 in component-bar chart 1, time synchronism equipment in Fig. 1 left side 11 is described as to BITS-A below, the time synchronism equipment 11 in Fig. 1 the right is described as to BITS-B).
