In terms of the network listening synchronization source selection, the best accurate synchronization source to

If the Home base station obtains synchronization without using network listening, the small cell requirement applies. 2) The requirement is 3.475 s but in many scenarios a 3 s sync requirement can be adopted. b-3GPP TS 36.133 section 7.4.2 b-3GPP TR 36.922 section 6.4.1.2 L

NOTE 5: The performance requirements of the LTE-A features are under study. The value for x is for further study. NOTE 6: 100 ns supports approximately 30-40m of

20、 location accuracy when using OTDOA with a minimum of three base stations. There is currently no published specification. NOTE 7: The requirements are expressed in terms of relative error between antennas (i.e., base station sectors), both of which have the same timing reference. Although phase/time

21、 accuracy requirements for CA and Coordinated Multi-Point (CoMP) are generic and are not defined for any particular network topology, this level of phase error budget implies that the antennas for which the requirements apply are typically co-located with or connected to the same Baseband Unit (BBU)

22、 via direct links. NOTE 8: Note that the three items in the table referring to MIMO may not translate to a synchronization requirement as they refer to timing within a particular base station rather than between base stations. These are Time Alignment Errors (TAE) expressed as minimum requirements.

23、Time accuracy requirements have become tighter in recent years. ITU-T Study Group 15, Question 13 establishes time and frequency standards for international telecom systems. ITU-T G.8272 2 sets the requirement for a Precision Reference Time Clock (PRTC) at 100 ns against UTC. A new standard, G.8272.

24、1 3 has developed an enhanced Precision Reference Time Clock (ePRTC), which requires 30 ns accuracy against UTC. 5G systems will have new timing requirements that may be more difficult to maintain. These requirements make stringent limits on the performance of GPS. Testing to show conformance has si

25、gnificant implications. Timing receivers have a direct dependency on the delay through the antenna, cable, and receiver system, in direct contrast to positioning and navigation receivers, which only need differential satellite delays to be stable. In addition to the delay of the GPS time code throug

26、h individual elements of the receiver system, reflections in the elements add internal multi-path delays that can cause timing changes in the 10s of ns (see 15). Hence timing receivers have special needs for testing. The spectrum for wireless systems is valuable, and there is a desire to use bands a

27、djacent to GPS signals for wireless services. In addition, if other GNSS are approved for U.S. telecom timing references, there will be other bands of the spectrum that will be vulnerable to interference. The telecommunications industry supports efforts to maximize the bandwidth available for wirele

28、ss services, but it cannot support these efforts at the expense of degrading existing network operations, in particular the dependence on GPS or GNSS timing for system operations. As industries propose the use of bands for wireless data adjacent to approved GNSS, results of testing must be considere

29、d to show that proposed transmissions do not interfere with required timing performance. ATIS SYNC has a number of recommendations with regard to testing that are discussed in the recommendations section. These recommendations discuss: 1) open testing, 2) the consideration of testing results in deci

30、ding adjacent band signal transmissions, and 3) various specifics of testing that are relevant to timing receivers and telecom networks. ATIS-0900005 14 7 GPS Vulnerability Mitigation these solutions could continue to operate to deliver time and phase sync even if there were a total failure of the G

31、PS system, as long as the master clock for any of these systems was independent of GPS. All proposals with the exception of #1 provide an independent or semi-independent timing mechanism to a receiver. These methods all have the additional benefit of being immune from inherent localized sources of G

32、PS degradation ATIS-0900005 15 such as multipath and GPS antenna installations. Proposals such as #1 that harden the GPS signal itself, or make the GPS receiver more robust to false or degraded signals, are still sensitive to GPS-wide failure modes. ATIS SYNC notes that there are a number of mitigat

33、ion strategies for GPS receivers to resist interference. A number of bodies including ATIS SYNC are considering establishing standards addressing these. 1. Navigational Message Authentication (NMA) on L2C and L5 There are currently no signal-side security features available on Civil GPS civil signal

34、s that could be used to mitigate intentional or unintentional spoofing events. The addition of Navigational Message Authentication (NMA) to some, or all, of the modernized GPS signals would provide a tool GPS civil signal receivers could use to mitigate spoofing events. ATIS SYNC has spent a conside

35、rable amount of time discussing the merits of NMA, and notes that the telecom sector is presently using only L1 C/A GPS receivers for timing and synchronization. Telecom sector use of NMA on L2C or L5 would require the deployment of additional receivers, or replacement or enhancement of existing L1

36、receivers with a dual frequency version supporting L1 and L2, or L5, operation. ATIS SYNC further notes that NMA does not help mitigate jamming, GPS interference, or the other vulnerabilities identified in Table 5.1. While NMA on L2C would not be immediately usable by current telecom receivers, the

37、long-term application of NMA on GPS civilian signals may become an important defense against a spoofing attack. 2. Atomic Clock Time Holdover The use of a high-stability atomic clock provides a means of maintaining precise time in the event of loss of GPS. One example of this is the ePRTC defined in

38、 ITU-T G.8272.1 3, which couples GNSS with an autonomous primary reference atomic clock. In the event of a GNSS outage, the ePRTC provides two weeks of time holdover better than 100 ns to UTC. The use of a highly stable clock, in addition to providing for time holdover, also provides a mechanism for

39、 detecting spoofing, as it functions as an independent source of stable time. 3. Sync over Fiber Private sector companies and National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) are conducting a proof of concept trial of transporting very high precision time and phase synchronization over fiber us

40、ing IEEE-1588v2 PTP (see 5). PTP packetizes time and phase information for delivery over a packet-based network such as Ethernet, which is in turn transported over fiber. PTP is susceptible to impairments due to packet delay variation and asymmetry in the forward versus reverse transmission paths. S

41、YNC finds the results to date of this trial encouraging; 18 ns deviation was held in a measurement lasting 3 months of PTP over Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) using commercial optical fiber connecting UTC (NIST) and UTC (United States Naval Observatory USNO) over a span of 150 km. The

42、re is a need, however, to determine if PTP can be used to transport very high precision time and phase sync over the vast distances required to cover the continental U.S.; this is to be investigated in a follow-on experiment. For further information on this experiment, see 16. Figure 7.2 10s of ns h

43、eld in a 3-month measurement over commercial fiber (150 km link) ATIS SYNC notes that there is a second proposal for sync over fiber that may develop in the future. ITU-T standard J.211 4 describes a two way protocol transported over the physical layer that includes a mechanism to correct for transp

44、ort delay and asymmetry. It is not packet based and thus is not impaired by delay variation. ATIS SYNC has ATIS-0900005 16 been advised that this technology could be adapted to fiber transport using telecom industry standard Wave Division Multiplexing (WDM) technology. 4. eLoran In October 2014, SYN

45、C reviewed presentations on a joint government and private sector proposal that addresses the development of a new eLoran type system in the U.S. for delivering very high precision time and phase sync. This type of signal is very long wavelength, very high powered, would be very difficult to jam and

46、 spoof, and penetrates buildings well. In 2016 an eLoran receiver coupled with a Rb oscillator demonstrated the ability to independently track UTC within 30 ns of a reference in the New York Stock Exchange 17. The receiver used an eLoran broadcast from Wildwood, NJ. Though still under development an

47、d consideration in the United States, ATIS SYNC notes that eLoran is already available and used as a GNSS alternative in Europe, and that areas that experience regular GPS-denial in Southeast Asia are implementing eLoran as an APNT system 18. ATIS SYNC also notes that there is a Russian terrestrial

48、low frequency navigation system, CHAYKA, which is similar to Loran-C. 5. WWVB ATIS SYNC notes that it is technologically feasible to develop a very high precision timing reference similar to WWVB that would operate in RF spectrum. Such a solution has been discussed in ATIS SYNC. Sub-1 GHz RF spectru

49、m signals penetrate buildings very well, and a timing source in that spectrum could be a viable backup to GPS for timing references. This proposal would require development to determine how best to provide the accuracies required for telecom needs. 6. Terrestrial Beacons ATIS SYNC also notes that it is technologically feasible to develop a very high precision timing reference based on terrestrial beacons. Such a solution has been discussed in ATIS SYNC. At least one Terrestrial Beacon System is being deployed in the U.S. to
