Network Timing/Synchronization Evaluation Modeling.

Abstract

Digital transmission techniques are expected to play an important role in future Defense Communication Systems, since they offer many advantages over analog methods. One of the important requirements for digital transmission is synchronization of nodal clocks. This report evaluates four proposed synchronization techniques (Discrete-Control-Correction, Master Slave, Independent Clocks, and Time Reference Distribution) with respect to a set of overall system objectives. It is found that of the proposed techniques, the time reference distribution technique with further refinements will best meet the DCS requirements. (Author)
