Abstract
Techniques are provided for informing a network of a timing source outage in a node and reestablishing a synchronized time in the node. An example method for providing a timing source outage notification includes detecting an outage of a timing source, determining one or more impacted nodes, generating one or more notification messages based at least in part on a communication context for each of the one or more impacted nodes, and transmitting the one or more notification messages.
Claims15
A method for providing a timing source outage notification, comprising:
- detecting an outage of a timing source;
- determining one or more impacted nodes;
- determining a communication context for the one or more impacted nodes based at least in part on whether the one or more impacted nodes is participating in a synchronous sensitive procedure;
- selecting a protocol based at least in part on the communication context;
- generating one or more notification messages based at least in part on the selected protocol and the communication context for the one or more impacted nodes;
- and
- transmitting the one or more notification messages.
