1.1 Positioning
This document is provided for IPCLK1000 V200R002.
Introduction
The Clock over IP technology can be implemented by its server and client. When it is implemented on the server, the server, after local phase locking and holding, sends synchronous reference clock to the client through IP packets. When it is implemented on the client, the client obtains IP packets from the IP network, and thus recovering clock source. The IPCLK1000 primarily acts as the server for Clock over IP. It is mainly applied to the IP transport in WCDMA or GSM network. The IPCLK1000 sends clock packets that conform to IEEE1588 V2 or Huawei private protocol to base stations through IP network, and thus providing clock for the base stations to which clock sources are unavailable. When the NEs in this IP network operate under IEEE1588V2 protocol, the IPCLK1000 provides point-to-point time synchronization. The IPCLK1000 is applicable to a WCDMA or GSM network. The introduction of the IPCLK1000 does not affect the architecture of the network. The document takes the application of the IPCLK1000 in a WCDMA network as an example.

NodeB
As shown in Figure 1-1, in an IP-based WCDMA network, the IPCLK1000 can provide IP clock packets for the NodeB or AP. The NodeB or AP receives the IP clock packets from the IPCLK1000 through the IP network and restores the required clock signals. When the IPCLK1000 is used to provide IP clock packets for the AP, you are advised to deploy the IPCLK1000 in the core network. If the IPCLK1000 is deployed in the fixed private network and connected to the DSLAM, the network security cannot be guaranteed. In addition, such deployment is not economic, because the IPCLK1000 can support up to 10,000 APs at the same time. Thus, you are not advised to connect the IPCLK1000 to the DSLAM. If the IPCLK1000 is connected to the BRAS, the link between the DSLAM and the BRAS is not reliable. To ensure the security over the network, the following measures must be taken: 1. Use the SeGW as the flow control agent. That is, the SeGW parses the IPSec sent by the AP and forwards the parsing result to the IPCLK1000. The IPCLK1000 sends the clock control message to the AP on the IPSec channel. The flow is bidirectional, IPCLK1000BRASSeGWBRASDSLAMAP. In this case, the bandwidth of the link is wasted and the load of processing IPSec is increased on the SeGW. The link between the SeGW and the IPCLK1000 is a semi-reliable link. Therefore, the reliability of the link should be guaranteed.
2.
Thus, you are not advised to connect the IPCLK1000 to the BRAS.
Security measures are designed in the IEEE1588V2 but not in Huawei private protocol.

To provide IP clock packets for the NodeB, the IPCLK1000 can be installed in a cabinet of the Radio Network Controller (RNC) or in any other cabinet that can accommodate the IPCLK1000.
1.2 Benefits
Great Network Adaptability
The IPCLK1000 has low requirements for the Quality of Service (QoS) performance of IP networks. It supports Huawei private protocol and IEEE1588V2 protocol. Either of the protocols can be used, or two protocols can be used together. The IPCLK1000 uses the same service data transmission protocols as those for data transmission between the RNC and the NodeB. Therefore, the IPCLK1000 has no additional requirements for topologies or for Qos performance of networks.
Flexible Application
The IPCLK1000 can serve either as a server or as a client. If a NodeB in an IP network fails to act as the client in the Clock over IP technology, an IPCLK1000 can be configured to be the client on the NodeB side to provide clock signals for the NodeB. When the IPCLK1000 serves as the client, it extracts clock packets from the IP network and exports 2 MHz or 10 MHz clock signals for the NodeB.

Architecture
The IPCLK1000 is an independent device with a case. The determination of the quantity of IPCLK1000s in actual networking is dependent on the number of clients and the redundancy between the IPCLK1000s. This chapter introduces the system architecture of the IPCLK1000 in the following aspects:

The dimensions of the IPCLK1000 are 436 mm (width) x 240 mm (depth) x 43.6 mm (height).
2.2.2 Components
The IPCLK1000 consists of the clock board PCKS, built-in satellite card (optional), power transfer board WPTB, power supply module, and fans.
NOTE
The V200R002 is developed on the basis of V100R001. The V200R002 only replaces the FPGA chip in the V100R001. The version number is distinguished through the register value. If the register value for a version is 1, then the version number is V12.

The satellite card is installed on the PCKS. One PCKS can be installed with only one satellite card at a time. The satellite card is connected to the antenna through the associated port on the panel of the IPCLK1000, so as to receive satellite signals. Figure 2-2 shows the communication between the satellite card and the PCKS. Figure 2-2 Signal processing of the satellite card
Satellite card Signal reception through a serial port PCKS CPU Signal transmission through a serial port
1 PPS
Logical check
The PCKS performs logical check on the 1 Pulse Per Second (PPS) signals exported by the satellite card and recognizes the type of the satellite card in use. Then, the PCKS configures appropriate Central Processing Unit (CPU) serial ports for communication with the satellite card. The IPCLK1000 chooses a clock input from two types of clock signals: those received at the input port on the panel and those exported by the satellite card. At a time, however, only one type of clock signal can serve as the clock source.
2.3.3 Clock Source Selecting, Phase Detection, and Clock Generating Module
This module selects a clock source, performs phase detection, and generates a system reference clock. This module performs the following operations: 1. The clock source selecting part selects a clock source, converts the clock signals to 1 PPS signals, and then sends the 1 PPS signals to the phase detecting part.

2. The phase detecting part performs phase detection and then sends the phase value to the CPU. 3. The CPU performs software filtering and the clock generating part of this module generates a local reference clock. 4. Based on the clock source and the local clock, the clock generating part performs corresponding phase-lock state transition and generates relevant information about alarms and maintenance.

3.1 General
With the development of IP networks, IP transport is applied to most communications networks. The IP network, however, is an asynchronous transport network. The equipment on an IP network fails to extract clock signals from the physical links. Therefore, a new mode of clock synchronization should be provided for the network equipment. The IPCLK1000 developed by Huawei uses the Clock over IP technology to provide a low-cost IP clock solution. This solution serves mainly the base stations that do not require strict time synchronization. These base stations can be the NodeB or Access Point (AP) in a Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) network or the Base Transceiver Station (BTS) in a Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) network.

Hardware Installation
The IPCLK1000 can be either installed alone or installed in a 19-inch standard cabinet. The installation position depends on the field condition. To install the IPCLK1000, perform the following steps: Step 1 Check whether the required parts are ready. Step 2 Install the IPCLK1000 case. Step 3 Install the external cables. Step 4 Check whether all the parts are correctly installed.
NOTE The service optical cable and other cables are routed from the front of the IPCLK1000. Therefore, the IPCLK1000 can be installed in a cabinet against the wall.
Software Installation
The software of the IPCLK1000 is installed before the IPCLK1000 is delivered. Therefore, no software needs to be installed on site.
NOTE To enable local maintenance of the IPCLK1000, you should install the LMT software on site.
In software re-installation scenarios such as software upgrade, maintenance personnel can remotely load data and programs onto the IPCLK1000 through the LMT or M2000.

4.1 General 4.2 Hardware Reliability
Configurations
The IPCLK1000 is independent box-shaped equipment. The quantity of IPCLK1000s in actual networking is dependent on the number of clock clients and the redundancy between the IPCLK1000s. The following sections describe the IPCLK1000 hardware reliability and software reliability.
Every component of the IPCLK1000 passes the aging test and strict selection. Stringent controls on quality are applied to the process of hardware designing and assembly, thus ensuring high stability and reliability of hardware in long-term operation. The hardware of the IPCLK1000 is based on the redundancy and derating design. Redundancy is applied to key modules and links, and derating is applied to all components. The IPCLK1000 also supports distributed redundancy to ensure reliable running. In distributed redundancy mode, associated data configuration is performed on clock clients. The result is that all the IPCLK1000s in a network are configured for redundancy and work as a resource pool. Every client is equipped with a list of addresses for all the IPCLK1000s in the network. If the IPCLK1000 that provides clock signals for a client fails, the client automatically searches the address list for another IPCLK1000. The distributed redundancy enables the resources to be shared among the entire network.

The LMT is applicable to local and remote maintenance. It is used to maintain a single IPCLK1000 from aspects such as software upgrade, data loading, alarm data collection, and equipment maintenance. M2000 The M2000 is applicable to remote maintenance. It is used to maintain multiple IPCLK1000s on the network level from aspects such as software upgrade, data loading, alarm data collection, and equipment maintenance.
NOTE Local maintenance refers to the OM process during which the maintenance personnel log in to the IPCLK1000 by directly connecting an LMT to the local Ethernet port on the IPCLK1000. Remote maintenance refers to the OM process where the maintenance personnel in an equipment room or at a network maintenance center configure IP routes on the LMT or M2000 to log in to the IPCLK1000 remotely.
