Abstract

Aspects of the embodiments include a method for synchronizing a device having an oscillator to a reference signal. A correction signal can be determined based on the reference signal. A mathematical model of the oscillator can be trained based at least upon the correction signal. A predicted correction signal for the trained mathematical model can be determined. A time error using the predicted correction signal can be generated to assess suitability of the trained mathematical model for disciplining drift in the oscillator and synchronizing the device when the reference signal is not available.
