A method for determining a sending period of a packet in a deterministic network and an apparatus are disclosed. The method includes: receiving a first packet; determining a first period, where the first period is a sending period of the first packet; determining timestamp information of the first packet based on the first period, where the timestamp information is used to indicate a time difference between a first time and a second time, the first time is a time at which the first packet starts to be sent in the first period, and the second time is a start time of the first period; encapsulating the timestamp information into the first packet to obtain a second packet; and sending the second packet.

A receiver includes a phase click detector, a controller, and a comparator. The phase click detector detects phase clicks in an input signal, where a phase click corresponds to a change in phase of at least a first threshold. The controller is coupled to the phase click detector for calculating a number of phase clicks within one or more time periods. The comparator compares the number of phase clicks within the one or more time periods, and provides an arrival signal if the number of phase clicks is less than a second threshold.
