DEVICES AND METHODS FOR ENHANCED TIME SYNCHRONIZATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17985949 titled 'DEVICES AND METHODS FOR ENHANCED TIME SYNCHRONIZATION
Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure relates to a device with a processor that can detect failed reception of time synchronization information at a follower device, determine clock drift between the follower device and a leader device, and update the clock of the follower device based on previously received time synchronization information.
- Detect failed reception of time synchronization information at a follower device
- Determine clock drift between follower device and leader device
- Update clock of follower device based on previously received time synchronization information
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in various industries where precise time synchronization is crucial, such as telecommunications, financial trading, and industrial automation.
Problems Solved
1. Ensures accurate time synchronization between devices 2. Prevents clock drift from affecting the performance of systems relying on synchronized clocks
Benefits
1. Improved accuracy in time-sensitive applications 2. Enhanced reliability of systems requiring precise time synchronization
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimizing time synchronization in telecommunications networks for improved data transmission speeds and reliability.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of Network Time Protocol (NTP) for time synchronization between devices in a network.
What is the impact of this technology on data transmission speeds in telecommunications networks?
This technology can significantly improve data transmission speeds by ensuring accurate time synchronization between devices, reducing delays caused by clock drift.
How does this innovation contribute to the reliability of industrial automation systems?
By updating the clock of follower devices based on previously received time synchronization information, this innovation helps maintain precise timing in industrial automation systems, reducing the risk of errors and improving overall system reliability.
Original Abstract Submitted
The present disclosure relates to a device including a processor configured to: detect a failed reception of time synchronization information at a follower device, wherein the time synchronization information provides an update of a clock of the follower device for synchronization to a clock of a leader device; determine whether a clock drift between the clock of the follower device and the clock of the leader device is less than a predefined drift threshold; and in the case that the clock drift is less than the predefined drift threshold, instruct an update of the clock of the follower device based on time synchronization information previously received at the follower device.
