There is disclosed a method and system for controlling network timing precision of a seismic collector, and a terminal device. The method includes: using an interrupt mode to transmit a data packet; calculating an optimal network delay; and correcting a transmission error in a network timing process according to the optimal network delay, after which the physical layer of a server receives the data packet and sends the data from the physical layer of the server to the application layer of the server using the interrupt mode thereby timing the data packet.

In one embodiment, a method receives a first time from a network device. The first time is derived from a first timing source in a first domain. The method receives a second time in a second domain from a second timing source. A difference time value is calculated between the first time and the second time. The method then sends the difference time value to the network device where the network device uses the difference time value to send a delay value to other computing devices to synchronize timing of the other computing devices in the second domain. The other computing devices are configured to synchronize the respective time using the delay value with mobile network devices to allow timing synchronization between the mobile network devices.

[Problem] To determine a time difference between clocks which, for example, are placed far apart from each other with high accuracy at low cost. [Solution] In a time comparison system 20, an intermediate station 21 disperses a single optical signal 21c in the spatial region using the optical complex amplitude modulation to simultaneously transmit the optical signal 21c to a plurality of comparative stations 22 and 23 apart from each other. The intermediate station 21 transmits the optical signal 21c while changing the transmission angle using phase modulation, performs intensity scanning for the reflected light c1 of the optical signal 21c, and detects the peak intensity to determine the directions of the comparative stations 22 and 23. The reflected light c1 of the optical signal 21c transmitted to the comparative stations 22 and 23 of which the direction have been determined, is detected to determine a round-trip propagation delay time between the intermediate station 21 and each of the comparative stations 22 and 23. The difference calculation unit 25 calculates a sum of time difference between each of times to and tb associated with the comparative stations 22 and 23 and the time tc associated with the intermediate station 21, and the determined propagation delay time to determine time information of each of the comparative stations 22 and 23. Based on the result of subtracting, from the time information of the comparative stations 22, the time information of the comparative stations 23, the time difference between the comparative stations 22 and 23 is determined.

A receiving device determines that a first PHY needs to be added to a first FlexE group in a working state. The receiving device performs a deskew on the first PHY or each PHY in the first FlexE group based on a received data stream corresponding to the first PHY and a received data stream corresponding to each PHY in the first FlexE group, and restores a data stream corresponding to a client from a PHY in the first FlexE group. If a skew between the data stream corresponding to the first PHY and the data stream corresponding to each PHY in the first FlexE group after the deskew is performed is zero, the receiving device restores a data stream corresponding to a client from a PHY in a second FlexE group so that flexibility of adjusting a PHY in a FlexE group in a working state is improved.
