Abstract
A network receiver for a network using distributed clock synchronization and a method of adjusting a frequency of an internal clock of the network receiver are provided. The network receiver receives from the network an input signal and has an internal clock for generating a clock signal. The network receiver further includes a clock bit comparator and an adjustment signal generator. The clock bit comparator compares lengths of a first time period lapsed while receiving at least five consecutive bits of the signal and of an internal clock time interval representing the same number of bits as a number of bits of the first time period. The adjustment signal generator generates a frequency adjustment signal for controlling a frequency of the internal clock in dependence of a result of the comparison of the lengths to reduce a difference between the lengths.
