There are still a few places available for Chronos PhaseReady events taking place next week:
Tuesday 17 November - Sheraton, Stockholm
Thursday 19 November - Radisson Blu Royal, Copenhagen
The Agenda is available here.
Register now if you are planning, or working towards the rollout of LTE-TDD or LTE-A services, and join our industry experts to discuss both the challenges and solutions available to enable you to deliver microsecond phase to the Network Edge in a manageable and supportable way.
Small cells pose a particular challenge for synchronization. Not only are they small, inexpensive devices, they are often indoors, and connected over low grade, low cost access technology. However, depending on their location, the synchronization requirements of a small cell are similar to those of a macrocell.
This paper looks at the different deployment scenarios for small cell, and the time and frequency accuracy requirements in each case. It addresses the various ways in which time and frequency can be distributed to small cells, including packet-based timing (e.g. PTP), physical layer timing (e.g. SyncE) and satellite timing (e.g. GPS).
Finally, it looks at ways in which each of these can be combined to produce a solution that will work in each of the varied deployment situations that may exist. Each of these technologies can be used symbiotically to complement the weaknesses of each other, and in some cases to improve the overall performance of the system. It will also consider the potential architecture for synchronization distribution to allow such complementary operation. The result is a time distribution system of high accuracy and high reliability that can be trusted to support the many revenue-earning and critical applications dependent on accurate time.
