METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MERGING CLOCKS FROM MULTIPLE PRECISION TIME PROTOCOL (PTP) CLOCK DOMAINS

摘要

Embodiments of a method and device are disclosed. In an embodiment, a method for synchronizing a slave clock in a Time Sensitive Network (TSN) that includes multiple Precision Time Protocol (PTP) clock domains is disclosed. The method involves determining parameters related to multiple PTP clock domains, assigning domain-specific weights to the multiple PTP clock domains based on the determined parameters, generating a control signal for a clock parameter using the domain-specific weights assigned to the multiple PTP clock domains, and adjusting the clock parameter of a slave clock in response to the control signal.
