CLOCK SYNCHRONIZATION METHOD, OPTICAL HEAD END, AND OPTICAL TERMINAL - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18489806 titled 'CLOCK SYNCHRONIZATION METHOD, OPTICAL HEAD END, AND OPTICAL TERMINAL
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for clock synchronization in optical networks. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:
- The optical head end receives a packet from a controller.
- The packet contains service data to be transmitted to multiple slave stations.
- The optical head end generates a second packet that includes the service data and time information.
- The time information indicates when the slave stations should perform an operation based on the service data.
- The optical head end sends the second packet to the optical terminals to request them to control the slave stations to perform the operation at the specified time.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Optical networks: This method can be used in optical networks to synchronize the clocks of multiple slave stations, ensuring accurate timing for operations based on service data.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Clock synchronization: The method solves the problem of synchronizing the clocks of multiple slave stations in optical networks, ensuring coordinated operations based on service data.
Benefits of this technology:
- Accurate timing: The method ensures that operations based on service data are performed at the specified time, improving the accuracy and efficiency of the system.
- Simplified synchronization: The method simplifies the process of clock synchronization in optical networks, reducing complexity and improving overall network performance.
Original Abstract Submitted
This application relates to clock synchronization methods optical head ends, and optical terminals. In an example method, the optical head end receives a first packet from a controller. The first packet includes service data to be transmitted to a plurality of slave stations. The optical head end generates a second packet based on the first packet. The second packet includes the service data and time information. The time information indicates an execution time point at which the plurality of slave stations perform an operation based on the service data. The optical head end further sends the second packet to the plurality of optical terminals to request the plurality of optical terminals to control the plurality of slave stations to perform the operation at the execution time point based on the service data.
