Time synchronization error compensation method for multi-hop wireless backhaul network based on ptp

Abstract

The present invention relates to a wireless network communication technology, and in particular to a time synchronization error compensation method for multi-hop wireless backhaul network based on PTP. Based on PTP, the present invention uses an intermediate node to count the timestamps of transceiving the PTP synchronization message Sync and the delay request message Delay_Req, detect and compensate the local forwarding time of synchronization message Sync and the delay request message Delay_Req and the link delay of transmitting the two between nodes based on the linear regression technology, thereby finally implementing asymmetric delay correction of wireless links between the master and slave nodes and completing time synchronization error compensation. The present invention uses the header of the PTP message to transmit the additional time information about the compensation time, the sending time and arrived time of the message and time correction value without modifying the existing PTP, thereby reducing the message overhead, meeting requirements of real-time and high precision of synchronization error compensation, improving the existing time synchronization precision and having strong practicality.
