Solution Overview

Problem

The complexity of 1588V2 packet transmission in WAN interfaces is high due to the need for slicing and reassembling packets using an assisting module, which complicates the process.

Innovation Solution

The method involves inserting 1588V2 packets into the payload area of a data frame instead of the overhead segment, allowing the receiving end to perform time synchronization adjustments without the need for slicing and reassembling, thereby reducing complexity.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If 1588V2 packet is inserted into OH overhead segment for transmission, then packet transmission can be achieved, but device complexity increases due to need for slicing and reassembling

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepacket transmissionVSAvoidtransmission process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the 1588V2 packet from the OH overhead segment and places it directly into the payload area of the data frame. This eliminates the need for slicing and reassembling operations, reducing device complexity while maintaining reliable packet transmission between IP and SDH networks.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Reliability

If assisting module is used to slice and reassemble 1588V2 packet, then packet transmission is enabled, but transmission time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepacket transmissionVSAvoidtransmission time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

By extracting the 1588V2 packet from the OH overhead segment and placing it directly into the payload area, the patent eliminates the time-consuming slicing and reassembling operations performed by the assisting module, thereby reducing transmission time while ensuring reliable packet delivery.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Device complexity

If 1588V2 packet is placed in payload area instead of overhead segment, then complexity is reduced, but packet transmission reliability may be affected

Engineering Contradiction:
