Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a method for autonomously validating the time and frequency data obtained from multiple sources, and generating a suitable estimate of the frequency difference between the client clock and the source. The method includes the steps of protocol data unit validation, offset measurement, minimum offset filtering, and frequency filtering. With these steps, the negative effects of packet delay variation may be mitigated and a frequency estimate is determined for the source in question, together with an associated validity status. Consequently, quality control of the local clock is achieved in packet networks at significantly reduced cost and decreased level of complexity relative to prior art approaches.

Abstract: A dual locked loop is disclosed comparing preferably a GPS signal with an E1 signal and the E1 signal with the output of the loop. The GPS signal is low pass filtered to provide a low pass filtered GPS versus E1 signal that is used as a calibration for a closed loop having a second low pass filter for filtering the comparisons of the E1 and the output signal. By appropriately selecting the filter parameters, the output stability can track the stability of the local oscillator driving the NCO for short term stability, the medium term stability of the E1 signal and the long term stability of the GPS signal.
