Embodiment 1

[0039] The full name of the IEEE 1588 Time Synchronization Protocol is the Precision Clock Synchronization Protocol Standard for Network Measurement and Control Systems (IEEE1588 Precision Clock Synchronization Protocol), referred to as PTP (Precision timing Protocol, Precision Time Protocol). It supports time synchronization between master and slave devices through packet exchange, with sub-microsecond time synchronization accuracy. The 1588 time synchronization system can be realized by pure software, for example, using the CPU to implement the 1588 protocol stack to complete the sending and receiving of PTP messages, time stamp processing and time synchronization. Realizing the 1588 time synchronization system by CPU pure software has some advantages: simple implementation, only need to maintain 1588 protocol stack, independent of the specific hardware at the bottom; fast synchronization convergence; low cost, etc. However, limited by the performance of the CPU, the sending...

Embodiment 2

[0061] This embodiment will continue to introduce the time synchronization method provided by this embodiment with some specific examples. Please refer to image 3 Flowchart showing the time synchronization method:

[0062] In this embodiment, the time synchronization protocol is the 1588 time synchronization protocol, that is, the PTP protocol, and the time synchronization chip is a 1588 function chip for example. This example is not the only implementation of the present invention. In addition, in the slave device, the system clock can be implemented by an FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array, Field Programmable Gate Array), and provided to each device, module, etc. in the device that needs to use the system time.

Embodiment 3

[0079] This embodiment provides a time synchronization device, please refer to Figure 5 , the time synchronization device 50 includes a software synchronization module 502 and a chip synchronization module 504 . Wherein the first synchronization module 502 is used to control the processor to perform time synchronization on the system clock according to the time synchronization protocol, and the synchronization detection module 504 is used to detect whether the time synchronization of the system clock has reached a stable state; After the detection result of the module 504 is yes, the time synchronization chip is switched to continue time synchronization of the system clock.

[0080] When two network devices interact, it is necessary to ensure that the system times of the two network devices are consistent. In general, the slave device synchronizes the time of its own system clock with the time of the master device. Therefore, in this embodiment, the time synchronization appa...

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention provides a time synchronization method and device, network equipment and a computer readable storage medium. The method comprises the following steps: enabling a processor to carry out the time synchronization of a system clock according to a time synchronization protocol, and switching a time synchronization chip to continue to carry out the time synchronization ofthe system clock after the time synchronization of the system clock reaches a stable state. The scheme that the processor performs time synchronization according to the time synchronization protocolhas the advantage of high synchronization convergence speed, so that the time deviation between the equipment and the main equipment can be quickly converged when the scheme is used at the beginning of time synchronization. Because the time synchronization chip carries out sufficient suppression filtering processing on the message data between the time synchronization chip and the main equipment;therefore, after the time synchronization of the system clock reaches the stable state, the time synchronization chip is switched to continue the time synchronization, the influence of network oscillation, interference noise and the like on the time synchronization result can be avoided, and the synchronization stability and synchronization precision of the time synchronization of the system clockare improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the communication field, in particular to a time synchronization method, device, network equipment and computer-readable storage medium. Background technique [0002] With the rise of 5G (5th Generation, fifth-generation mobile communication) network technology, and the promotion of 5G-related application requirements and clock technology standards, the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) 1588 time synchronization protocol is Network clock time synchronization plays an important role. As an important backup of the GPS (Global Positioning System, Global Positioning System) time source, the 1588 clock provides a high-precision clock time synchronization function for the entire communication network, providing strong support and guarantee for the normal operation of network communication services. [0003] In the prior art, the CPU of the network devi...
