We have reached the end of the year and it has been a roller coaster ride as far as

out put is concerned. The value of Production output is still well below the required

level and I find it imperative that we tighten our belts and work as a single unit to

achieve whatever we have promised to achieve. In this endeavor I will give what-

ever fillip is required and let us all strive to reach for the ultimate goal. I am sure

that we will succeed in the task that we are about to undertake as I have the

fullest confidence in the capabilities of all of you.

TIME SYNCHRONISATION/CLOCK IN TELECOMMUNICATION NETWORKS

Introduction

The challenges and demands facing the Telecommunications Network have never been as high as they are today. Much

has been written lately about the new “Digital Economy“ where information flow has changed from the physical realm of

paper transactions to the growing age of Networked Intelligence. Advances in Telecommunications Technology and Network

Design have made this new era possible. The growth in technically innovative services and applications will continue to

challenge the telecommunications network to keep pace. Merely keeping pace however, will not be adequate. One especially

challenging area is the growing demand for bandwidth.

The explosive growth in Data and Voice traffic and the need for VoIP application are fueling the insatiable requirement for

bandwidth. Network planners are looking forward and plan effectively for this challenge. In addition to growth, the critical

content of the data traffic is becoming increasingly important to the new Digital Economy. The success of the developing

use of e-commerce is tied directly to the reliability of the telecommunications network. When the network is down, commerce

ceases.

Interruptions in Network Services can result in lost revenues, unhappy customers, lost business and, in most cases,

punitive financial actions. Similar scenarios occur when the network is compromised by poor quality. In both instances, the

bottom line effect is revenue shrinkage. The ability of the Network to support these critical revenue services has underlined

the need for Telecommunications Networks planned and designed to minimize the risk of system outages.

Time Synchronization is a fundamental component of an optimally performing Network. Time Synchronization networks

provide timing signals to all Synchronization Network elements at each node in a digital network. These timing signals are

traceable to a highly accurate Primary Reference Source (PRS) clock of Stratum 1 quality with frequency accuracy of 1 x

10-11 or better. The aim is to ensure that all outgoing transmissions from a Digital Network node have the same average

frequency. Buffer elements are used at important transmission interfaces to absorb differences between the average local

frequency and the actual short-term frequency of incoming signals, which may be affected by phase wander and jitter

accumulated along the transmission paths.

1. Requirement of Timing Signal in Networks:

The very nature of Digital Communications is based on Clocking Signals. All Digital Signals require some form of Clocking.

Sampling, Multiplexing, Accessing and Transportation of Digital Data are all dependent on changes based on prescribed

Time intervals. Digital Switches, Digital Cross-connect, Multiplexers and Digital Transport Systems are all linked for the

sole purpose of Reliable Communications. All of these pieces must mesh with respect to time in order to get the right

information Sampled, Switched, Transported and Received. Time Synchronization is a method of achieving the Timing

Requirements through

i. A common Clock Rate for the Elements making up the Network.

ii. Ensuring that Transmission Impairments impacting Synchronization between Nodes be kept to a minimum.

In addition to Synchronizing the Clock rates at the Transmit and Receive ends, the links connecting both ends must be

designed to minimize Timing Impairments such as Jitter and Frequency Wander. The Quality of the Transmission facilities

for Transporting Traffic or Synchronization Data is dependent on the degree of alignment between the Transmit and Receive

clocks. The higher the degree of alignment the better the error performance.

As the degree of alignment degrades, the rates of operation at the transmit and receive nodes start to differ. The end result

of this difference in rates is a loss or repetition of bits or bytes of information. This event is defined as a slip. Digital

communications relies on the use of data buffers to account for differences in clock rates between the transmitted and

received data. As the difference increases, the amount of buffer capacity consumed grows. If the difference is too great for

the buffers, then an overflow occurs resulting in a slip condition.

The impact of slip degradation on different services are shown in the following table:

Impact of Slips

Service Observed Effect

Voice Occasional audible clicks

Voice band data Serious degradation with some modems needing up to

6 seconds to recover from a slip.

Group 3 Fax Each slip causes compression or blank lines.

Encrypted Voice Serious degradation requiring retransmission of the

encryption key.

Compressed video Serious degradation requiring in freeze frames or

missing lines.

Packet data Loss of packets resulting in degraded throughput and

retransmission delays.

Good eyesight is crucial, but are you doingall you can to protect your visions? here’show to take care of your eyes.

STARING AT THE SMALL SCREEN

All that time spent using computers can lead to eyestrain,

dry eyes, and blurred vision.  To combat these problems,

check your work station:

Ideally, your monitor should be 5 to 9 inches below eye

level. This brings your lid downward, maintaining the

healthiest blink rate, says Susan Resnick, an optom-

etrist in NY city. If you can’t move the monitor, measure

the distance between it and your eyes, then consult

your eye-care professional about the right pair of glasses

for that distance. Also make sure there’s no glare on

your screen. And obey the 20/20/20 rule: For every 20

minutes of screen time, look at something 20 feet away

for 20 seconds to maintain your eyes’ focusing system.
