Description

实现时间同歩的方法、 装置及网络系统
本申请要求于 2009 年 9 月 28 日提交中国专利局、 申请号为 200910177418.9、 发明名称为"实现时间同步的方法、 装置及网络系统"的中国 专利申请的优先权, 其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本发明实施例涉及通信技术领域, 特别涉及一种利用数字用户线( Digital Subscriber Line, DSL ) 系统带外频段实现时间同步的方法、 装置及网络系统。
背景技术
现有技术中,可以利用 DSL进行高速数据传输。 DSL是一种电话双絞线, 其可以是: 非对称数字用户线( Asymmetrical Digital Subscriber Line, ADSL ), 甚高速数字用户线( Very-high-bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line, VDSL )、基于综 合业务数字网( Integrated Services Digital Network, ISDN )的用户数字线( ISDN Digital Subscriber Line , IDSL )、单线对高速数字用户线( Smgle-pair High-bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line, SHDSL )、 第二代非对称数字用户线 (Asymmetrical Digital Subscriber Line 2, ADSL2 )、 第二代非对称数字用户线 plus ( Asymmetrical Digital Subscriber Line 2plus, ADSL2plus )、 第二代甚高速数字 用户线( Very-high-bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line 2, VDSL2 )等。
在各种数字用户线技术中, 釆用通带传输的 DSL利用频分复用技术使得 DSL与传统电话业务( Plain Old Telephone Service, POTS )共存于同一对双绞 线上, 其中 DSL占据高频段, POTS占用 4KHz以下基带部分, POTS信号与 DSL信号通过分离 /整合器( Splitter )进行分离, 系统连接示意图如图 1所示。
局端 xDSL收发器包括局端收发单元和分离器。 在下行方向, 局端收发单 元对来自宽带网络的数据信号进行数字处理,将处理得到的数字信号转换成模 拟信号, 再放大发送到分离器; 分离器将来自局端收发单元的 DSL信号(即 上述将处理得到的数字信号转换成的模拟信号)和窄带交换网络的 POTS信号 进行合并发送到双绞线上; 用户端的分离器接收来自双绞线上的 DSL+POTS 混合信号, 并将 DSL+POTS混合信号分离, 分离后的 POTS信号送到话机完 成语音通话, DSL信号送到用户端收发单元处理; 用户端收发单元将 DSL信 号转换成数字信号、 并进行数字处理后, 再发送到终端计算机。 类似地, 上行 方向则按相反的顺序处理。 由于第三代移动通信(3G ) 以及更先进的数字移动技术的出现, 无线接 入的速率越来越高,接入的距离也越来越短,出现了基站进入家庭的演进趋势。 将基站的数据通过用户端、局端传送到宽带网络的过程称为移动回传, 而时间 同步是实现移动回传的面临的首要问题。在数字用户线系统中, 无法实现用户 端与局端的时间同步。

具体实施方式
实施例一:
参阅图 2,本发明实施例一提供一种在数字用户线系统中时间同步的方法, 该方法包括:
201、 第二设备接收第一设备发送的第一时间同步信号, 并记录接收所述 第一时间同步信号的时间戳 Tsl ; 所述第一时间同步信号占用的频段是 DSL的 带外频段; 并接收第一设备发送第一时间同步信号时记录的时间戳 Tml。
其中, 第一设备是用户客户端( Customer premise equipment , CPE ), 简称 用户端, 第二设备是局端 (Central Office, CO ); 或者, 第二设备是局端, 第 一设备是用户端。
其中, DSL带外频段是指除了 DSL占用的频段以外的频段, 在不同的标准 中 DSL占用的频段可能不同, 因此, DSL带外频段也可能不同。 比如在 ADSL 标准中, 25KHz以下、 1.104MHz以上属于 DSL带外频段; 在 ADSL 2标准中, 25KHz以下、 2.208MHz以上属于 DSL带外频段。
202、 第二设备向第一设备发送第二时间同步信号, 记录发送所述第二时 间同步信号的时间戳 Ts2; 所述第二时间同步信号占用的频段是 DSL的带外频 段;并接收第一设备发送的所述第一设备接收所述第二时间同步信号时记录的 时间戳 Tm2。
所述第一时间同步信号占用的频段是 DSL带外低频的频段; 所述第二时间 同步信号占用的频段是 DSL带外低频的频段。
或者, 所述第一时间同步信号占用的频段是 DSL带外高频的频段; 所述第 二时间同步信号占用的频段是 DSL带外高频的频段。
其中,所述第一时间同步信号和所述第二时间同步信号占用 DSL带外同一 频段;所述第一时间同步信号和所述第二时间同步信号以时分方式复用所述同 一频段。
203、 根据 Tml、 Tm2、 Tsl和 Ts2, 确定所述第一设备与第二设备的时间 偏差;所述时间偏差用于纠正第一设备和第二设备之中的从设备的时间以保证 所述第一设备与第二设备的时间同步。
该步骤中所确定的第一设备与第二设备的时间偏差 Offset=(Tsl+ Ts2-Tml-Tm2)/2。
本发明实施例一中第二设备与第一设备交互的时间同步信号(第一时间同 步信号和第二时间同步信号)是占用 DSL的带外频段, 第二设备利用第一时间 同步信号对应的时间戳 (Tsl和 Tml)及第二时间同步信号对应的时间戳 (Ts2 和 Tm2)确定第一设备与第二设备的时间偏差, 能够在数字用户线系统中, 实 现两个设备的时间同步。
本发明实施例中在两个设备之间传递的时间同步信号占用的是 DSL带外 频段; 如下分别以时间同步信号占用 DSL带外低频的频段及占用 DSL带外高频 的频段两种情况进行描述:
第一种方式: 时间同步信号占用 DSL带外低频的频段, 即原有数字用户线 系统中的传统电话业务信号( POTS ) 占用的 4KHz以下的基带部分不再用于传 送 POTS信号, 而是用来传递时间同步信号;
这种方式下时间同步信号所占的频带如图 3所示, 图 3为 ADSL标准系列的 频 " "划分示意图, 其他 DSL标准系列的频 " "示意图也与图 3相似。
第二种方式: 时间同步信号占用 DSL带外高频的频段, 此时, 原有数字用 户线系统中的 4KHz以下的基带部分还用于传送 POTS信号。 这种方式下时间同步信号所占的频带如图 4所示, 图 4为 ADSL标准系列的 频语划分示意图, 其他 DSL标准系列的频语示意图也与图 4相似。
在这种方式下, 由于时间同步信号频谱占 DSL带外的高频部分, 因此需要 改进原有数字用户线系统中的分离器,原有数字用户线系统中的分离器结构如 图 5A所示, 改进的分离器结构如图 5B所示, 即将原有的高通滤波器 HPF改为 带通滤波器 BPF, 以便把 DSL信号从混合信号分离; 并增加高通滤波器 HPF, 以便将时间同步信号从混合信号中分离。
上述时间同步信号占用 DSL的带外频段, 理论上可以占用 DSL带外的任意 频率, 但是, 当时间同步信号占用 DSL带外低频部分时, 由于双絞线的低频部 分的延时特性呈现非线性特征, 图 6为 0.4线径 1公里双绞线的延时特性图。 从 图 6中可以看到, 低频部分的延时特性变化特别剧烈, 这仅是双絞线的延时特 性, 当第一设备和第二设备中还存在模拟电路时, 在低频部分整个延时特性就 更加呈现出非线性特征。 因此, 当时间同步信号占用 DSL带外低频部分时, 建 议采用单载波调制方式作为时间同步信号的调制方式,不建议采用多载波调制 方式作为时间同步信号的调制方式,因为若釆用多载波调制方式作为时间同步 信号的调制方式, 每个频点的延迟都不同, 因此需要复杂的纠正时间延迟的机 制。
当时间同步信号占用 DSL带外高频部分时,可以采用单载波调制方式作为 时间同步信号的调制方式,也可以采用多载波调制方式作为时间同步信号的调 制方式。
实施例二:
参阅图 7A和图 7B, 本发明实施例二提供一种实现时间同步的方法, 该方 法利用双向时间戳, 该方法具体包括:
701A、 局端向用户端发送第一时间同步信号, 并记录发送第一时间同步 信号的时间戳 Tml,即记录本地发送第一时间同步信号的时间,该时间为 Tml。
702A、 局端向用户端发送时间戳 Tml。
703A、 用户端接收第一时间同步信号, 并记录接收第一时间同步信号的 时间戳 Tsl, 即记录本地接收第一时间同步信号的时间, 该时间为 Tsl。
704A、 用户端向局端发送第二时间同步信号, 并记录发送第二时间同步 信号的时间戳 Ts2, 即记录本地发送第二时间同步信号的时间, 该时间为 Ts2。 705A、 局端接收第二时间同步信号, 并记录接收第二时间同步信号的时 间戳 Tm2, 即记录本地接收第二时间同步信号的时间, 该时间为 Tm2。
706A、 局端向用户端发送时间戳 Tm2。
707 A, 用户端计算局端与用户端的时间偏差。
参阅图 7B, 假设 Offset为用户端与局端的时间偏差, Delay 1为信号从局端 到用户端的路径延时, Delay2为信号从用户端到局端的路径延时, 根据图 7B 可知:
Ts0=Tml+Offset
Tsl - TsO-Delayl
于是: Offset =Tsl - Tml - Delayl
同理, Tm2=Ts2 - Of set+Delay2
得出 Offset= Ts2 - Tm2+Delay2
在本发明实施例中无论是采用单载波调制方式作为第一时间同步信号 /第 二时间同步信号的调制方式,还是采用多载波调制方式作为第一时间同步信号 /第二时间同步信号的调制方式, 第一时间同步信号和第二时间同步信号都是 占用同一频段, 采用时分方式复用到同一频段上, 因此要求 Delayl = Delay2 , 那么:
Offset= ( Tsl+Ts2-Tml-Tm2 ) 12 。
该实施例中, 也可以使用多个单载波调制时间同步信号, 进而得到多个 Offset,将多个 Offset取平均值作为最终确定的用户端与局端的时间偏差;或者, 在用户端与局端之间多次交互时间同步信号, 进而得到多个 Offset, 将多个 Offset取平均值作为最终确定的用户端与局端的时间偏差, 可以提高所计算的 时间偏差的精度。
708A、 用户端根据局端与用户端的时间偏差调整本地时间, 使用户端与 局端时间同步。
本发明实施例二中局端与用户端交互的时间同步信号(第一时间同步信号 和第二时间同步信号)是占用 DSL的带外频段, 用户端利用第一时间同步信号 对应的时间戳 (Tsl和 Tml)及第二时间同步信号对应的时间戳 (Ts2和 Tm2)确 定局端与用户端的时间偏差, 能够在数字用户线系统中, 实现两个设备的时间 同步。 实施例三:
参阅图 8, 本发明实施例三提供一种实现时间同步的方法, 包括:
801、 第二设备接收第一设备发送的第一时间同步信号, 并记录接收所述 第一时间同步信号的时间戳 Tsl ; 所述第一时间同步信号占用的频段是 DSL的 带外频段; 接收第一设备发送第一时间同步信号时记录的时间戳 Tml;
其中, 第一设备是用户端, 第二设备是局端; 或者, 第二设备是局端, 第 一设备是用户端。
其中, 第一时间同步信号占用的频段是 DSL带外低频的频段; 或者, 第一 时间同步信号占用的频段是 DSL带外高频的频段, 具体参见图 3及图 4, 在此不 再赘述。 在时间同步信号频谱占 DSL带外高频的频段时, 改进的分离器结构如 图 5B所示; 而且, 当时间同步信号占用 DSL带外低频的频段时, 建议釆用单载 波调制方式作为时间同步信号的调制方式,不建议采用多载波调制方式作为时 间同步信号的调制方式,因为若釆用多载波调制方式作为时间同步信号的调制 方式, 每个频点的延返都不同, 因此需要复杂的纠正时间延迟的机制。
802、 第二设备根据所述 Tsl、 Tml及所述第一时间同步信号从第一设备到 第二设备的路径延时 Delayl , 确定所述第一设备与第二设备的时间偏差; 所述 时间偏差用于纠正第一设备和第二设备之中的从设备的时间以保证所述第一 设备与第二设备的时间同步。
其中, 该步骤中所确定的时间偏差 Offset=Ts 1 -Tml-Delayl。
本发明实施例三中第二设备接收的时间同步信号占用 DSL的带外频段,并 利用该时间同步信号及该时间同步信号从第一设备到第二设备的路径延时 Delayl确定两个设备的时间偏差, 能够在数字用户线系统中, 实现两个设备的 时间同步。
实施例四:
参阅图 9, 本发明实施例四提供一种实现时间同步的方法, 该方法利用单 向路径延时补偿, 该方法具体包括:
901、 局端向用户端发送第一时间同步信号, 并记录发送第一时间同步信 号的时间戳 Tml, 即记录本地发送第一时间同步信号的时间, 该时间为 Tml。
902、 局端向用户端发送时间戳 Tml和信号从局端到用户端的路径延时 Delayl。 Delayl是指从局端到用户端的信号在传输过程中的路径延时。
如果信号从局端到用户端的路径延时 Delayl预存在用户端上,则该步骤中 局端不需要向用户端传送 Delayl了。
903、 用户端接收第一时间同步信号, 并记录接收第一时间同步信号的时 间戳 Tsl, 即记录本地接收第一时间同步信号的时间, 该时间为 Tsl。
904、 用户端计算局端与用户端的时间偏差。
该步骤中, 用户端计算局端与用户端的时间偏差 Offset=Ts 1 -Tml -Delayl , 其中, Delayl为信号从局端到用户端的路径延时。
单向的路径延时(Delayl )可以用专用的测量仪器测量得到。 如: 在局端 和用户端都接上某一带全球定位系统( Global Positioning System, GPS )接收 的测量仪器, 两端的测量仪器都从 GPS恢复出基准时间, 局端向用户端发送时 间同步信号, 利用单载波或者多载波调制方式作为时间同步信号的调制方式, 在单载波或者多载波的特定时刻记录时间戳; 用户端接收到时间同步信号, 并 在单载波或者多载波的特定时刻记录时间戳,将两个时间戳相减即可得到单向 的路径延时。
单向的路径延时 (Delayl )还可以通过 DSL带内频段的单端测试(Single End Line Testing, SELT )得到。 SELT测试有两种方法: 时域反射( Time Domain Reflectometry, TDR )和频域反射 ( Frequency Domain Reflectometry, FDR )。
TDR是通过对发射信号的时域分析, 比如检测发射信号和反射信号的峰值点, 从而计算出信号传输总延迟, 再除以 2就是单向的路径延迟。 FDR是通过持续 发送发射信号,接收端接收反射信号并和发射信号进行幅度和相位的比较,从 而得到被测试的传输函数, 将传输函数进行 ifft, 得到信号传输总延迟, 再除 以 2就是单向的路径延时。
905、 用户端根据局端与用户端的时间偏差调整本地时间, 使用户端与局 端时间同步。
本发明实施例四中用户端接收局端发送的时间同步信号占用 DSL的带外 频段, 并利用该时间同步信号及该时间同步信号从局端到用户端的路径延时 Delayl确定两个设备的时间偏差, 能够在数字用户线系统中, 实现局端与用户 端的时间同步。
如下对记录时间戳的方式进行描述: 如果采用单载波调制方式作为时间同步信号的调制方式,则在单载波的特 定时刻记录时间戳,可以在单载波相位翻转 180度的时刻记录时间戳,如图 10A 所示; 也可以在单载波正向幅度最高时记录时间戳, 如图 10B所示。
如果釆用多载波调制方式作为时间同步信号的调制方式,例如釆用 OFDM 调制, 可以在发送特定符号 ( symbol ) 时记录时间戳, 例如在发送同步符号 symbol时记录时间戳, 如图 11所示。
上述两个实施例中时间戳的传送方式可以是在 DSL的带内通过 EOC (嵌入 式操作通道 Embedded Operation Channel )通道传送给接收端, 也可以在传送 同步信号的频带通过特定的调制方式来传送。
实施例五:
