Using clock frequency synchronization to improve time synchronization accuracy

This article examines methods for improving the accuracy of time synchro- nization in virtualized integrated systems networks using time-sensitive network technology, and the impact of network clock synchronization provided by syn- chronous Ethernet technology. The impact of network clock synchronization on the accuracy of timescale reference is assessed using simulation modeling of time and clock synchronization processes in the AnyLogic environment. A simulation model of time and clock synchronization processes has been developed, allowing one to evaluate the benefits of using network clock synchronization in TSN networks in terms of improving the accuracy of time synchronization of network devices.
