Sebastien,

We discussed the definitions section of the requirements document.

I believe that we managed to pin down the concepts of

·         frequency

·         phase (1 / frequency – e.g. 1 pps, no connection between different 
systems)

·         aligned phase (phase with zero or known relationship at different 
systems)

·         labeled (previously called uncalibrated) time (aligned phase events 
are labeled, but no link to official time standard, e.g. TDMA systems)

·         calibrated time (locked to UTC or national time standard)

We also discussed stability and accuracy (which refer to one of the above)

We looked at the ITU and 1588 definitions where applicable.

Subject: [TICTOC] Document with definitions discussed during the last TICTOC 
conference call


Hello,

Since I was late during the last TICTOC conference call, I was wondering what 
was the document that has been discussed during the call containing the 
definitions?

Is it the requirements document? A new document? Where does the need for new 
definitions come from?

Thanks in advance for the clarifications.

Just a personal opinion regarding possible new definitions in TICTOC: it would 
be good as far as possible to align and re-use terms that are already defined 
in other groups dealing with synchronization (e.g. NTP, IEEE1588, ITU-T…). It 
would avoid confusion in the timing community in general.

Thanks.

Best Regards,
