Abstract
System and method for introducing redundancy mechanisms into a communication system, comprising the following steps: a. Transmission of a data message for synchronization from a timing generator via disjoint paths to the nodes, b. In the case of an interruption of the transmission in one of the disjoint paths: i. Transmission of the data message from the timing generator via a first partial path of the interrupted path and ii. Transmission of the data message from the timing generator via the uninterrupted path and from there via a second partial path of the interrupted path.
Claims14
A method for synchronizing nodes of a communication system, comprising transmission of a data message for synchronization from a timing generator via disjoint paths to the nodes wherein in the event of an interruption of the transmission in one of the disjoint paths the data message is transmitted via a first partial path of the interrupted path and via an uninterrupted path and from there via a second partial path of the interrupted path.
The method for synchronizing nodes of a communication system, comprising transmission of a data message for synchronization from a timing generator having the highest priority to the nodes and wherein if a timing generator having a lower priority does not receive a data message of a timing generator having a higher priority, the data message is transmitted from a timing generator having a lower priority to at least a subset of the nodes.
A method for synchronizing nodes of a communication system, comprising transmission of data messages for synchronization from at least two timing generators having different priority to the nodes and selecting the data message from a timing generator with the highest priority from the data messages received by a node.
