Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of time synchronization and leap second processing technology, specifically to a cross-domain high-precision, shock-free leap second processing method. The core solution addresses the common needs of different fields for "sub-nanosecond accuracy + no business impact + 24 / 7 uninterrupted operation"—adapting to the regulatory compliance requirements of financial scenarios, as well as the stability requirements of industrial control, the high-precision requirements of aerospace, and the security requirements of medical equipment. It achieves seamless adaptation across multiple fields without requiring modifications to the core technology solution for a single field. Background Technology

[0002] Leap seconds are a key technical measure for coordinating atomic time with Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), and are divided into positive leap seconds (+1 second) and negative leap seconds (-1 second). In the financial sector, time synchronization is not only an efficiency issue, but also the cornerstone of fairness and security. However, existing leap second processing schemes have many fatal flaws and cannot meet the stringent requirements of financial scenarios. At the same time, industries such as industry, aerospace, and medicine also face similar pain points. Existing solutions are mostly designed for single fields, with poor adaptability and narrow protection scope. 1. Instantaneous jump scheme: Directly jumps ±1 second, causing timestamp breaks—in the financial sector, this can lead to disordered high-frequency trading order sequence and matching errors in securities matching systems, potentially causing transaction disputes worth hundreds of millions of yuan; in the industrial sector, it can cause equipment linkage failures and production accidents; in the aerospace sector, it can lead to navigation deviations and mission failures, and violates the requirements for time sequence continuity stipulated by regulations such as MiFID II and SEC Rule 613. 2. Long-cycle smoothing solutions (such as Google's 24-hour smoothing): Purely software-based, without hardware-level calibration, with a maximum error of 0.5 seconds, easily generating non-standard timestamps—leading to payment clearing and reconciliation failures and disruptions in the regulatory audit chain in the financial sector; affecting the accuracy of image diagnosis and surgical safety in the medical field; and relying on a fixed cycle, making it easy to be circumvented by adjusting parameters; 3. Manual leap second device: requires manual intervention, the adjustment delay is ≥1 second, the human error is ≥100ns, it cannot be adapted to financial, industrial and other systems that operate 24 / 7, and it has a high hardware dependency and is easily circumvented by alternative hardware. Existing technologies lack a leap second processing solution that is "controllable in initial error, stable in accuracy throughout the process, has no impact on business operations, is adaptable to multiple fields, and has a comprehensive protection range." There is an urgent need to address these pain points through innovative design. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Technical problems to be solved This invention aims to solve the technical problems of existing solutions, such as "large initial error, insufficient overall accuracy, business disruption caused by sudden changes in step size, poor anti-interference, high implementation cost, narrow protection range that is easily circumvented, and inability to meet the specific needs of multiple fields," and achieves the following objectives: (1) Accuracy meets the standard: the initial synchronization error is within the correctable range of subsequent closed-loop calibration, the total error throughout the process is ≤0.2ns (cross-domain core threshold), preferably ≤0.1ns, to meet the highest accuracy requirement of time synchronization error ≤1ns in different fields; (2) No shock: The step size has no sudden change (the difference between adjacent steps is ≤0.000001μs), ensuring that the financial transaction timestamp is strictly monotonic, the industrial equipment linkage is stable, and the medical equipment operation is continuous, without business interruption; (3) Fully automatic operation: No manual intervention required, adaptable to the 24 / 7 uninterrupted operation needs of multiple fields; (4) Compatibility and compliance: Compatible with civilian / industrial operating systems and core systems in various fields, with no non-standard timestamps, meeting cross-domain regulatory requirements such as MiFID II, SEC, and ISO 13485; (5) Cross-domain adaptation: The core technology solution can be adapted to hardware environments in multiple fields such as finance, industry, and aerospace without modification, and existing equipment can be directly upgraded with software. (6) Comprehensive protection: prevents vulnerabilities such as parameter adjustment, precision reduction, hardware replacement, splitting core logic, and avoiding unlisted scenarios, and achieves full-dimensional protection.

[0004] Technical solution The core innovation of this invention lies in "pre-calibration to eliminate initial delay + multi-segment even distribution + regular compensation + cross-domain exclusive protection + full-dimensional generalization protection", the specific steps of which are as follows:

[0005] ≥5 seconds before the leap second instruction takes effect, the system initiates pre-calibration: the UTC parameter messages sent by the satellite navigation system or ground timing system are analyzed (at least 1 frame, to ensure parameter stability) through a high-precision timing signal receiver (continuous parsing, 1Hz update), the parameters required for UTC conversion (such as ΔtLS, WN_LSF, etc.) are extracted, and the UTC conversion reference is locked. Pre-synchronization is performed based on the high-precision time reference signal output by the receiver. The system clock phase is adjusted by the high-precision timestamp processing module. The pre-synchronization duration is ≥3 seconds, so that the initial synchronization error is within the range that can be corrected by subsequent closed-loop calibration, laying the foundation for the timing continuity in various fields.

[0006] Receive leap second instructions issued by the leap second instruction issuing agency and analyze the total adjustment amount ΔT (positive leap second ΔT=1s, negative leap second ΔT=-1s). Set the transition period T_total > 0 hours (12-24 hours is preferred for application scenarios), and the total number of steps N_total is the total number of adjustment steps related to the transition period T_total. Divide the total number of steps into M segments (M is a positive integer ≥ 2, and N segments are the number of steps in each segment of the total number of steps N_total divided into M segments, where N is a positive integer). Balance error control and implementation complexity. Experiments have verified that a transition period of 12-24 hours can keep the CPU utilization rate within ≤ 0.8% while ensuring that the cross-domain time synchronization error is ≤ 1ns. M ≥ 2 can avoid the loss of control over the cumulative error of a single adjustment segment. Experiments have verified that by adjusting the precision threshold (0.05ns-0.2ns), it can be adapted to different fields: ≤0.1ns for finance / aerospace, ≤0.15ns for industry / smart grid, and ≤0.2ns for medical / astronomical fields, all of which can meet the specific needs of each field. It can access high-precision time reference signals as a calibration reference throughout the process, supports seamless switching between multiple signal types, and adapts to hardware environments in different fields.

[0007] Calculation formula: Δt = ΔT ÷ N_total; Example of positive leap second optimization: T_total = 18 hours, N_total = 64800 steps, Δt = 1s ÷ 64800 = 15.43209876543209856μs, rounded to 16 decimal places, is 15.432098765432099μs, truncation error = 0.00044fs ≤ 0.0005fs, which can be ignored; Example of optimal selection for negative leap seconds: Δt = -1s ÷ 64800, the calculation logic is consistent; Retain no less than 16 decimal places to ensure that the truncation error is ≤0.0005fs, and this error is included in the error statistics of each step to meet the stringent control of minute errors in various fields.

[0008] Each execution logic segment: Executes N-step adjustments at regular time intervals (statistical average of intervals × total number of steps = transition period, and a single interval ≤ 1 second, preferably 1 second), accumulating Δt on the system timestamp at each step, and synchronizing the adjustment with the effective edge of the high-precision time reference signal (synchronization error ≤ 0.5ns); the core of the regular time interval is "predictable adjustment timing without causing abrupt changes in step size", adapting to the time determinism requirements of various fields; Real-time calibration: After each step is executed, the system timestamp is compared with the UTC time through the high-precision timestamp processing module to calculate the single-step error Δe_i. The execution timing of the relevant steps is adjusted based on the positive and negative directions of the error (delay range 0-0.5ns) to ensure that the single-step error is ≤0.005ns. Segmented error correction: After each segment is completed, calculate the actual total adjustment amount ΔT_segment = Δt × N_segment + cumulative error ΔE_segment (ΔE_segment = actual total adjustment amount - theoretical total adjustment amount), and the absolute value of ΔE_segment ≤ 0.000001μs × N_segment; through regular compensation, the correction amount is distributed to the relevant steps to ensure that the difference between the adjustment amounts of two adjacent steps ≤ 0.000001μs and the correction amount of each step ≤ 0.000001μs, without business awareness, ensuring that the error converges segment by segment, and avoiding the chaos of business timing in various fields.

[0009] After the N_total step is completed, the leap second transition is finished, and the system switches to normal synchronization mode. The entire process ensures a closed-loop precision across the entire link, with "controllable initial synchronization error + error per step ≤ 0.005ns + cumulative error ≤ 0.1ns + total error ≤ 0.2ns", and the maximum cumulative mutation error ≤ 0.0648ns. Domain-specific safeguards: When applied to the financial sector, it maintains strict monotonicity and sequential consistency of transaction timestamps, ensuring that the order processing order is completely consistent with the receiving order; when applied to the aerospace sector, it strengthens anti-interference redundancy to ensure the accuracy of autonomous operation after satellite signal interruption; when applied to the medical sector, it adds a time-series change early warning mechanism to ensure surgical safety. The modules communicate with each other through a low-latency standardized communication interface (interface latency ≤10ns) to ensure real-time calibration and avoid timing deviations in various fields caused by interface latency.

[0010] Employing a high-precision time synchronization protocol (NTPv4 / PTPv2 / fiber optic time synchronization protocol or its subsequent iterations) that supports sub-nanosecond accuracy, the system is continuously calibrated based on a high-precision time reference signal to maintain a time error of ≤0.2ns (preferably ≤0.1ns) between the system time and UTC, ensuring time consistency for business operations, clearing, and regulatory auditing across various sectors.

[0011] If the leap second command is not received in time (including network interruption, command transmission delay, command parsing failure): the system automatically predicts the leap second time based on the parsed leap second effective parameters (effective week number, effective day, ΔT), with a prediction error of ≤1 minute; pre-calibration and parameter initialization are started ≥2 hours in advance, and parameters are updated at a frequency of ≥1Hz during the prediction period, with the prediction error dynamically corrected to ≤0.1 seconds, and the final prediction time deviation ≤10 seconds, ensuring that the system is unaware of the leap second in all fields; After network recovery: The dual calibration of "high-precision time reference signal + timing command" is completed within one step, with a calibration error of ≤0.05ns and a total error regression of ≤0.2ns after calibration. The calibration process does not cause sudden changes in step size or business timing disorder, avoiding business interruption or security risks in various fields.

[0012] Beneficial effects Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following significant advantages: (1) Cross-domain accuracy and shock-free operation: The total error of the entire link is ≤0.2ns, which far exceeds the time synchronization error of ≤1ns required in fields such as financial high-frequency trading (10-100ns), industrial control (≤500ns), and medical equipment (≤1μs). The abrupt change of adjacent steps is ≤0.000001μs, which completely eliminates business interruption and timing disorder and meets the regulatory and security standards of multiple fields. (2) Strong anti-interference capability: continuous parsing of UTC parameters (1Hz update) + dynamic prediction and correction + dual calibration, the total error is ≤0.15ns within 3 hours of network interruption, which is suitable for the 7×24-hour uninterrupted operation requirements of various fields; (3) Low implementation cost: It supports multiple timing methods, hardware types and communication interfaces. Existing equipment does not need hardware modification, only software upgrade. The CPU utilization rate is ≤0.8%, which does not affect the core business processing capabilities of various fields. (4) Strong cross-domain adaptability: The core technology solution is independent of the domain and can be adapted to multiple scenarios such as finance, industry, and aerospace by simply adjusting the accuracy parameters. The hardware is compatible with various hardware such as commercial timing modules and dedicated chips, and has wide adaptability. (5) Outstanding commercial value: The cross-domain versatility allows the patent to be licensed to multiple industries, which is suitable for high-end fields such as finance and aerospace, as well as mass fields such as industry and medical care, with a wide range of application scenarios.
