This project focuses on and investigating the feasibility of resilient timing and frequency for synchronisation (TFS) over 5G Integrated Access Backhaul (IAB) standards, such as IEEE1588 or 3PP TS 23.501\. This project will provide the underlying understanding required to enhance the current high-speed and low-latency data and communication capabilities of JET Engineering System Solutions' (JET-ESS) 5G meshed network infrastructure.The project will establish the integration development of Precision Time Protocol (PTP) transparent clock capabilities into JET ESS' remote 5G software layers, tracking how long it takes a signal to travel through the mesh, to synchronise operator, sensor and autonomous time at sea with a reference on-land. The project will leverage existing work to simulate TFS to develop the complex operations needed. This will outline the required standards, protocols and algorithms that will need to be innovatively developed and integrated into JET-ESS' current 5G processing software to enable TFS across our scalable network. The development of 5G IAB TFS protocols removes total reliance on GNSS/GPS for timing, which are often absent or disrupted offshore, and impacting 5G when rolled out as a larger mesh network. However, where available GNSS/GPS will enable the validation of absolute time value at the end-user over the network. This project underpins the total synchronisation of 5G and 6G network infrastructure, disrupting the telecoms market and creating advanced markets surrounding 5G enabled surveying, autonomous drones, and vessel capability applications surrounding offshore wind farm installation.

该项目重点研究并研究基于 5G 集成接入回程 (IAB) 标准（例如 IEEE1588 或 3PP TS 23.501\）的弹性定时和频率同步 (TFS) 的可行性。该项目将提供增强 JET Engineering System Solutions (JET-ESS) 5G 网状网络基础设施当前高速、低延迟数据和通信能力所需的基础知识。该项目将把精确时间协议 (PTP) 透明时钟功能集成到 JET ESS 远程 5G 软件层中，跟踪信号通过网状网络所需的时间，以同步操作员、传感器和网络。 海上自主时间与陆地参考时间。该项目将利用现有工作来模拟 TFS 来开发所需的复杂操作。这将概述所需的标准、协议和算法，需要创新地开发这些标准、协议和算法并将其集成到 JET-ESS 当前的 5G 处理软件中，以便在我们的可扩展网络中实现 TFS。 5G IAB TFS 协议的开发消除了对 GNSS/GPS 授时的完全依赖，这种授时通常在海上缺失或中断，并且在作为更大的网状网络推出时会影响 5G。然而，如果可用的 GNSS/GPS 将能够通过网络在最终用户处验证绝对时间值。该项目支持 5G 和 6G 网络基础设施的完全同步，颠覆电信市场，并围绕 5G 测量、自主无人机和海上风电场安装的船舶能力应用创建先进市场。
