@misc{10481/70573, year = {2021}, month = {1}, url = {http://hdl.handle.net/10481/70573}, abstract = {Time synchronization faces an increasing performance demand nowadays. This is particularly common in different segments, such as new scientific infrastructures, power grid, telecommunications or fifth-generation (5G) wireless networks. All of them share the need for a time synchronization technology offering a very low synchronization error along large networks. The new version of the IEEE-1588-2019 protocol offers a considerable performance improvement thanks to the high accuracy profile based on white rabbit (WR). The original WR implementation guarantees a synchronization accuracy below 1 ns for a small number of cascaded nodes. This contribution evaluates the performance degradation when a considerable number of devices are deployed in cascaded configurations. In order to improve the performance, different delay measurement implementations have been evaluated in a series of experiments. The results prove the considerable benefits of our implementation against the current WR implementation.}, organization = {EMPIR programme}, organization = {European Union's Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme (WRITE) 17IND14}, publisher = {IEEE}, keywords = {Accelerators}, keywords = {Fifth generation (5G)}, keywords = {Precision time protocol (PTP)}, keywords = {Scalability}, keywords = {Stability}, keywords = {Synchronous ethernet (SyncE)}, keywords = {Telecom}, keywords = {White rabbit (WR)}, title = {Enhancing White Rabbit Synchronization Stability and Scalability Using P2P Transparent and Hybrid Clocks}, doi = {10.1109/TII.2021.3054365}, author = {Gutiérrez Rivas, José Luis and Torres González, Felipe and Ros Vidal, Eduardo and Díaz Alonso, Antonio Javier}, }
