Synchronization techniques for packet networks

Synchronization requirements:
Generally, 2G/3G networks require frequency sync with exception of CDMA which also needs phase sync Now with LTE, two approaches: FDD mode requires frequency only with some exceptions (e.g. eMBMS) TDD mode requires both frequency and phase synchronization Mobile backhaul solutions must offer frequency and phase clock synchronization to allow service providers to differentiate their service offering
