  • Publication number: 20170150464
    Abstract: A communication apparatus, for relaying a time synchronizing signal between a master and a slave that transmit PTP (Precision Time Protocol) signals, stores a first time of the communication apparatus at a point in time that the communication apparatus receives a first time synchronizing signal addressed to the slave, obtains a second time of the master at a point in time that the first time synchronizing signal is transmitted from the master, from the first time synchronizing signal or the like, obtains an amount of offset that is a difference between a reference time of the master and a reference time of the communication apparatus, using the first time as a time of the slave and the second time as the time of the master in a time synchronizing algorithm of the PTP, and corrects the reference time of the communication apparatus using the amount of offset.

  • Publication number: 20170127363
    Abstract: A radio equipment controller (REC) includes a transmission serializer/deserializer (SERDES), a reception SERDES, and an adjustment unit. The adjustment unit adjusts a transmission timing of a downlink frame to be transmitted from the transmission SERDES in the REC so that the transmission timing of the downlink frame from an antenna of radio equipment (RE) becomes a predetermined timing after synchronization of a downlink and an uplink is established. The RE includes a transmission SERDES, a reception SERDES, and a control unit. The control unit causes the transmission SERDES in the RE to start transmitting an uplink frame after the synchronization of the downlink is established with the REC. The control unit also causes the transmission SERDES in the RE to maintain a transmission timing of the uplink frame, even if a synchronization loss of the downlink is detected due to adjustment of the transmission timing of the downlink frame.
