The present application provides a synchronization method, a synchronization apparatus, a device, and a storage medium. The synchronization method includes: determining an interface event timestamp point of synchronization event information, and encapsulating the synchronization event information; and inserting the encapsulated synchronization event information into a synchronization information channel of a first preset frame or a second preset frame for performing transmission.

The invention relates to techniques for controlling a dynamic hitless resizing in data transport networks. According to a method aspect of the invention, a network connection comprises M tributary slots defined in a payload area of a higher order transport scheme of the data transport network and the method comprises the steps of receiving a connection resize control signal at each of the nodes along the path of the network connection; adding at each node along the path in response to the connection resize control signal a second set of N tributary slots to the first set of the M tributary slots, such that the network connection comprises M+N tributary slots; and increasing, after M+N tributary slots are available for the network connection at each node along the path, a transport data rate of the network connection.

Communication between a Radio Equipment Control (REC) and a Radio Equipment (RE) in a wireless network uses a Common Public Radio Interface connection. When the Radio Equipment Control and the Radio Equipment are located remote from each other, and are connected by an asymmetric transport network, such as an Optical Transport Network, path delay data is transmitted in the Common Public Radio Interface data frames. This allows the CPRI end nodes to correct for path delay asymmetry using the path delay data.

This disclosure provides a service data processing method. The method includes: receiving service data; obtaining a processing manner for processing the service data; performing first timeslot-based multiplexing, bit width conversion, and second timeslot-based multiplexing on the service data when a bandwidth of the service data is less than a first threshold, to obtain an intermediate frame; performing single-level timeslot-based multiplexing on the service data when the bandwidth of the service data is not less than the first threshold, to obtain the intermediate frame; mapping the intermediate frame to an optical transport network (OTN) frame; and sending the OTN frame. A first bit width and a first bandwidth based on which the first timeslot-based multiplexing is performed are different from a second bit width and a second bandwidth based on which the second timeslot-based multiplexing and the single-level timeslot-based multiplexing are performed.

A method for mapping a packet service onto an optical transport network is disclosed. An embodiment of the method includes: receiving a packet service message from an access side, identifying the message by using a first board number of a first line board in which a first egress is located and a first port number of the first egress; sending the message to the first line board corresponding to the first board number; and encapsulating the message that is sent to the first line board, mapping the encapsulated message onto a first optical channel data unit ODU corresponding to the first port number, and sending the first ODU by using the first egress. Cross-connect scheduling of any bandwidth in any direction is implemented based on a packet service, and packet services on different tributary boards share different ODU timeslots or a same ODU timeslot on a same line board.

Methods and apparatus are provided for transmitting data. In one aspect, a method of transmitting data comprises identifying a start of a Common Public Radio Interface (CPRI) frame, identifying CPRI data blocks of the CPRI frame, and transmitting the CPRI data blocks of the CPRI frame in slots of a FlexE calendar of a Flex Ethernet physical layer group (FlexE PHY group).

A physical layer communication device (PHY) transmits and receives signal to and from a communication link using a synchronous protocol. The PHY communicates with a higher-layer device using a packet protocol. Timestamp values contained in timing-related messages in some packets are written or modified by the PHY. Delays incurred in transmitting and receiving the packets are predicted and used in setting the timestamp values.

A method of processing a digital signal for transmission is provided comprising digital data frames, by compressing the digital data frames; and generating an optical data unit for transmission comprising multiple of the compressed digital data frames. The optical data unit is configured for transport by an Optical Transport Network, OTN.
