Network synchronization has gained increasing importance in telecommunications throughout the last thirty years: digital switching, SDH/SONET, ATM, CDMA, GSM and UMTS are striking examples where network synchronization has been proven to affect quality of service.
In this tutorial lecture, synchronization processes at different levels in telecommunications are first reviewed and fundamental definitions about timing of digital signals, jitter and wander are introduced. Major topics of this tutorial are: timing aspects in SDH/SONET networks; architectures and requirements for timing transfer in PDH, SDH/SONET, ATM and fixed/mobile telephone networks; strategies, architectures and clocks for synchronization networks.
