摘要： A device and method for time synchronization in a communication network, wherein a virtual clock is produced by a controller in each network node based on the PROFINET-Standard and/or the Precision Transparent Clock Protocol. In contrast to known methods for estimating the time, the time of the virtual clock does not undergo sudden changes. The virtual clock includes a controlled, continuous path. As a result, the virtual clock is particularly suitable for time-critical applications. Here, the estimation of the time of a reference clock is improved by 18-35%. Accordingly, a markedly greater number of network nodes may be synchronized with a predetermined level of accuracy for the time synchronization.

摘要： A method for time synchronization in a communication network having a plurality of nodes each comprising a first node and at least one second node, wherein the first node generates first cycle counting states according to a reference cycle frequency and the second node generates second cycle counting states according to an internal cycle frequency, wherein time synchronization is performed in consecutive synchronization cycles in which, starting from the first node, synchronization messages are consecutively transferred from one node to a further node and a synchronization message transmitted by the node includes a segment of information that is used for time synchronization in the node receiving the synchronization message, wherein time synchronization is performed in the second node based on an estimate of a first cycle counting state in combination with a linear-quadratic regulator to obtain a synchronized time comprising a controlled first cycle counting state.

摘要： The invention refers to a method for synchronizing clocks in a communication network, wherein a first clock of a first network element (MA) which is a master element is used for synchronizing second clocks of one or more second network elements which are slave elements. According to the method of the invention, a first sequence of first messages transmitted from the first network element to the second network element and/or a second sequence of second messages transmitted from the second network element to the first network element is recorded. First messages and/or second messages out of those sequences are identified by using an appropriate threshold function with respect to the transmission delays of those messages. Those identified messages have the same constant minimum delay, and based on those messages clock synchronization between the first clock and the second clock is performed. The invention has the advantage that clock synchronization is possible even if an intermediate switch causing an unknown delay is located in the transmission path between the first and the second network element. This is because most of the messages are transmitted within a minimum constant delay via such an intermediate switch and, by identifying those messages, a line delay between the first network element and second network element can be estimated and used for synchronizing the second clock with the first clock. The synchronization method of the invention is preferably used for synchronizing clocks in a DECT network. Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment, the first and second messages are messages according to the standard IEEE 1588.
摘要翻译：本发明涉及一种用于同步通信网络中的时钟的方法，其中作为主元件的第一网络元件（MA）的第一时钟用于同步作为从属元件的一个或多个第二网络元件的第二时钟。根据本发明的方法，记录从第一网络元件发送到第二网络元件的第一序列的第一序列和/或从第二网络元件发送到第一网络元件的第二个第二消息序列。通过使用关于这些消息的传输延迟的适当的阈值函数来识别这些序列中的第一消息和/或第二消息。这些识别的消息具有相同的恒定的最小延迟，并且基于这些消息执行第一时钟和第二时钟之间的时钟同步。本发明的优点在于，即使引起未知延迟的中间交换机位于第一和第二网络元件之间的传输路径中，时钟同步也是可能的。这是因为大多数消息通过这样的中间交换机在最小的恒定延迟内传输，并且通过识别这些消息，可以估计第一网络元件和第二网络元件之间的线路延迟并将其用于使第二时钟与第一时钟本发明的同步方法优选地用于同步DECT网络中的时钟。此外，在优选实施例中，第一和第二消息是根据标准IEEE 1588的消息。

摘要： There is described a method for transmitting synchronization messages in a communication network, the communication network comprising a plurality of network nodes communicating with one another, each containing an internal clock, which is timed with a node clock frequency assigned to the respective network node. The synchronization messages transmitted in the communication network serve to synchronize the times of the internal clocks of the network nodes and contain the pulse counter status of a synchronization clock operating at a predefined synchronization clock frequency. The pulse counter status is estimated by each network node and updated in the synchronization message. Changes in the synchronization clock frequency are taken into account when estimating the pulse counter status. Precise determination of the pulse counter status is achieved with the aid of an approximation of the change over time in the pulse ratio between synchronization clock frequency and node clock frequency by means of a function, with the result that the pulse ratio on transmission of a new synchronization message can be predicted and a precise current pulse counter status can be determined on the basis of the predicted pulse ratio. The method is particularly suitable for use in a communication network of an industrial automation system, whose components communicate with one another for example according to the Profinet standard.

摘要： The transmitter and a mobile terminal based on interference alignment use pre-coding and pre-decoding methods. An antenna mapping matrix is computed according to a downlink channel state information, wherein the antenna mapping matrix is used for antenna mapping for the current transmitter to perform interference alignment. A multi-cell pre-coding matrix according to the downlink channel state information and the antenna mapping matrix; a single cell multi-user pre-coding matrix and pre-coding user data using the single cell multi-user pre-coding matrix and the multi-cell pre-decoding matrix and performing an antenna mapping using the antenna mapping matrix are computed. A system which cannot use the interference alignment method directly may be transformed to use the interference alignment method directly. In addition, the interference suppression between cells and the interference management inside cells are two separate processes, in which different linear pre-coding and decoding methods may be used.
