Version Update
• New version submits
– draft-zhou-tictoc-ran-sync-req-01.txt
• Update
– Phase sync accuracy of RAN system in TD-SCDMA reaches
agreement
• Accuracy among NodeBs: 3us
• Accuracy between NodeB and reference clock: 1.5us
– Phase sync accuracy of RAN system in TD-LTE is under
discussion
• Accuracy among NodeBs: 1~3us
– Requirements for 1588v2 backhaul

Urgent requirements for RAN Sync
• Most operators have choice LTE as their evolution of
2/3G network
– TDD based LTE has just been introduced
– TDD LTE has higher sync requirement than FDD
• The requirements for RAN is clear and urgent
– Radio Access Network is on the early stage of moving to IP
transport
– GPS is the only solution so far
• The total technologies/solutions should be deployed
within one year----Urgent!!
– TICTOC should accelerate its work
Example:
Current 3G/TD-SCDMA Networks
ATM
NodeB
SDH
RNC
ATM
NodeB
• Currently, each nodeB has a GPS antenna--Not so good!
– COST: you can imagine 10000 BSs in one city
– Uneasy deployment: affect the flexible deployment of BS
– Other

Backhual sync transmission
•
Two sync transmission mode should be considered
– Core network sync distribute—sync are distributed to local clock
• 1588v2 over IP/MPLS core
– Core to edge- local clock are distributed to Edge Node (such as BS)
• IEEE1588 or other must be extend to used within different backhaul technology, such as

How to Work with Multicast Technologies to reduce overhead
Summary
• RAN requirements for sync are more clearly now and TD
based LTE has high sync requirements
• It better for us to provide solutions with 1years, so that
the industry can used it ASAP
• Most operators are replanning their Mobile Backhaul to
meet the high bandwidth, the sync protocol should be
considered
• Telecom profiles of sync protocol
– network scale/ network load/ local clock accuracy
– Reliable transport/ security/ efficiency/
Retransmission/Verification
– Multicast
