DEVICES AND METHODS FOR ENHANCED TIME SYNCHRONIZATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240163000 titled 'DEVICES AND METHODS FOR ENHANCED TIME SYNCHRONIZATION
Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure describes a device 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 follower device's clock 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 follower device's clock based on previously received time synchronization information
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in various fields such as telecommunications, network synchronization, industrial automation, and IoT devices.
Problems Solved
1. Ensures accurate time synchronization between devices 2. Prevents clock drift issues that can lead to data inconsistencies
Benefits
1. Improved reliability and accuracy in data transmission 2. Efficient synchronization of devices in a network 3. Reduced chances of data errors due to clock discrepancies
Potential Commercial Applications
"Time Synchronization Device for Industrial Automation and IoT Applications"
Possible Prior Art
There are existing time synchronization protocols such as NTP (Network Time Protocol) and PTP (Precision Time Protocol) that are used for clock synchronization in networks.
Unanswered Questions
How does the device handle situations where the clock drift exceeds the predefined threshold?
The abstract does not provide information on what actions the device takes if the clock drift between the follower and leader devices is greater than the predefined threshold.
What is the impact of this technology on power consumption in devices?
The abstract does not mention how this device may affect the power consumption of devices, especially in scenarios where frequent clock updates are required for synchronization.
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.
