Novel Precise Time Synchronization and Distribution for Multilayer Optical Metro and Access Networks
Bitao Pan, Xuwei Xue, Fulong Yan, Xiaotao Guo, Nicola Calabretta · 2021
We present and experimentally assess a novel time slotted optical metro access network with precise time distribution and nodes synchronization. Results confirm successful time-slotted metro network operation with 5ns time accuracy and <12ns in two-layer metro and 5G fronthaul network with a single time reference.
