Delivery delay compensation on synchronised communication devices in a packet switching network

摘要

The present invention relates to the synchronizing of equipment, and more precisely to the transporting of synchronization signals via a communication network with a view to inter-synchronizing the equipment. The invention concerns a reference station able to deliver packets in a packet switching network to communication devices connected to the network. According to the invention, the reference station comprises means for inserting at least a temporal offset in said packets, wherein said temporal offset describes data delivery duration on a pre-determined path of said network. The invention relates also to a sending communication device and to a receiving communication device.
