A system and method for generating a time-aware network using an absolute time value that is independent of the network device

摘要

Time aware network that includes a time reference specific transfer time information which is synchronized to share network resources in unnecessary network environment is provided. Internal time reference is established by using the absolute time value is the time coordinate extracted from a GPS signal. Adjust the use of internal time reference by the recognition device time, clock parameter block and absolute time value, establishing a network clock domain. The network clock domain, device having a capacity satisfying the timing requirements of the domain are participating possible. By joining the network clock domain, the client, it is possible to access to shared resources through locking authority to maintain the consistency of the data on the shared resource. One of the shared resource clients, and also the locking authority, the recognition unit time to join the network clock domain identical to communicate using the internal time reference.
