In Synchronizing 5G Mobile Networks, three leading Cisco mobile networking technology experts thoroughly address the implementation and characterization of several synchronization standards, presenting practical deployment methods, realistic case studies, and well-tested design best practices. They help engineers and network architects understand the definitions captured in today’s synchronization standards and apply them to design deployable solutions.


The authors provide in-depth discussions of key synchronization protocols and profiles including: Synchronous Ethernet standards (G.8262, G.8262.1), 1588v2 Telecom profiles, Precision Time Protocol (PTP) profiles (G.8275.1, G.8275.2), PTP performance profile (G.8273.2), Time sensitive networking (IEEE 802.1CM), GPS or GNSS or PRTC requirements as part of G.8272.x, and security requirements for synchronization protocols. They evaluate the design principle of each profile and performance standard, explains its application in 5G Mobility and Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communications (uRLLC), and help you choose right profiles or protocols for your environment. Detail sections cover network design and migration guidelines, test methodologies and operations and management practices, to help you successfully deploy time synchronization over converged IP networks.



The complete guide to timing and synchronization in advanced service provider networks and enterprise applications


As networks have advanced, so has the need for precise timing and synchronization--including highly accurate phase synchronization. Without it, networks become increasingly vulnerable to outages, data loss events, and inefficiencies that can be notoriously difficult to diagnose. 5G telecom networks have especially stringent requirements, but they also apply to a growing number of enterprise applications in finance, factory automation, IoT, media, and beyond.


Synchronizing 5G Mobile Networks is the definitive, comprehensive guide to all aspects of timing and synchronization. Drawing on extensive experience developing and implementing timing and synchronization systems, three leading experts cover standards, protocols, clock design, architecture, solution design, deployment tradeoffs, day-to-day operations, troubleshooting, and more.


This book will be valuable to professionals with diverse backgrounds, even those with no timing or synchronization experience. It will be especially useful to engineers and consultants designing or implementing mobile networks; test engineers validating equipment or production solutions; students seeking careers with service providers or in advanced private networks; and technology leaders seeking to understand the
growing role of time synchronization. 


  • Understand timing and synchronization concepts, goals, sources, and transport
  • Explore timing applications in telecommunications and beyond
  • Build synchronous networks with clocks, timing reference sources, time distribution, and timing signal consumption
  • Review the role of standards development organizations in defining standards for timing and synchronization
  • Drill down into the details of clocks, clock signals, and clock components 
  • Review traditional TDM-based techniques for frequency synchronization
  • Explore precision time protocol (PTP) characteristics, features, profiles, and security
  • Master best practices for designing and deploying timing in physical and packet-based networks
  • Thoroughly understand timing metrics and end-to-end time error budgeting 
  • Establish accurate timing and synchronization in advanced 5G and LTE networks, including 5G New Radio and RAN environments
  • Manage tradeoffs in synchronizing diverse cell sites, topologies, radio types, and mobile generations
  • Verify, operate, monitor, and troubleshoot timing systems
