Method for synchronizing a client clock frequency with a server clock frequency

Abstract

A method for synchronizing the frequency of a client clock with a server clock frequency, such synchronization being performed through timing packets transmitted by the server towards the client through a telecommunication network wherein the method includes the transmission, by the server, of groups of timing packets such that an emission timing packet period (τ), measured between successive timing packets of a same group, is smaller than an emission group period (τ), measured between first timing packets of successive groups. Emission timing packet period (τ) is such that transmission delays of timing packets within a same group are practically correlated, and emission group period (τ) is such that transmission delays of timing packets from different groups are practically uncorrelated.
