Timing and Synchronization with Propagation Delay Symmetry and Originated Slave Clock Frequency for Ubiquitous Computing

Time and frequency alignment is critical for ensuring QoS for application such as voice, real-time video, wireless hand-off, and data over a converged access medium. To satisfy the accuracy of time synchronization, both adjusting Communication path asymmetry and ratio of frequency between the time-aware systems are important. Network Time Protocol (NTP) is not satisfies time-sensitive applications. IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) and IEEE 802.1AS don' t calculate the communication path asymmetry. We propose the Single-TimeSync frame for reducing the number of control frames, adjusting propagation delay asymmetry and ratio of frequency originated with slave time-aware station clock. We simulate with base model in OPNET.
