Precision and Ubiquitous Timing at Sea

该项目专注于并研究5G集成接入回程（IAB）标准（如IEEE 1588或3 PP TS 23.501\）上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和低延迟数据和通信能力所需的基本理解。该项目将建立精确时间协议（PTP）透明时钟功能到JET ESS远程5G软件层的集成开发，跟踪信号通过网状网络需要多长时间，使海上的操作员、传感器和自主时间与陆地上的参考同步。该项目将利用现有的工作来模拟TFS，以开发所需的复杂操作。这将概述所需的标准、协议和算法，这些标准、协议和算法需要创新开发并集成到JET-ESS当前的5G处理软件中，以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定时的完全依赖，这些定时通常在海上不存在或中断，并在作为更大的网状网络推出时影响5G。然而，在有全球导航卫星系统/全球定位系统的情况下，将能够通过网络在终端用户处验证绝对时间值。该项目支持5G和6 G网络基础设施的完全同步，扰乱电信市场，并围绕5G支持的测量，自主无人机和海上风电场安装的船舶能力应用创造先进的市场。

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.
