Abstract:
A method for network independent clocking in a telecommunication system, comprisinginputting end-to-end user data and an associated network independent clock to a transmitter, comparing the network independent clock with a network clock that is used as the transmitter's transmission clock, performing compensation of the network independent clock in the transmitter by changing the number of redundant bits in the end-to-end user data, transmitting the end-to-end user data to a receiver through a traffic channel or a group of traffic channels having a radio interface rate equal to an end-to-end user data rate and thereby having no extra capacity for sending any outband information on the compensation of the network independent clock, performing compensation of the network independent clock in the receiver by restoring the original redundancy in the end-to-end user data, and temporarily adjusting the outbound network independent clock in the receiver so as to compensate for the change caused by the restoration of the redundancy in the outbound user data stream.
