Introduction

Maintaining high-quality synchronization is very important for many forms of communication, and with mobile networks it is an especially critical precondition for good performance. Synchronization will have a dramatic (negative) effect on the efficiency, reliability, and capacity of the network, if the timing distribution network is not properly designed, implemented, and managed.

The stringent clock accuracy and precision requirements in these networks require that network engineers have a deep knowledge and understanding of synchronization protocols, their behavior, and their deployment needs.

Synchronization standards are also evolving to address a wide range of application needs using real-time network techniques. Factory automation, ...
