Abstract

The invention provides a time synchronization method and apparatus. The method comprises the following steps: receiving a plurality of time synchronization messages sent by a first network element within a set time, and calculating a time deviation value of any network element and the first network element according to each time synchronization message; filtering the abnormal time deviation values, and calculating the average value of the filtered time deviation values; and adjusting the time of any network element as the average value. By adoption of the time synchronization method and apparatus, the time synchronization stability of the network elements in the communication system can be effectively improved, and the time jitter of the network elements is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of communication, in particular to a time synchronization method and device. Background technique [0002] Different communication protocol standards have different requirements for time synchronization of network elements in the communication network. The traditional time synchronization adopts the GPS solution, and each network element receives the satellite time through the antenna for time synchronization. GPS installation has high requirements on the environment, and the construction cost is expensive. Therefore, time synchronization through the 1588 protocol has become a development trend. In the communication network, a master network element is connected to a high-precision master clock, and the master network element transmits the high-precision time to all slave network elements in the network through the 1588 protocol to realize time synchronization. [0003] The basic principle of time...
