Inventors include Amit Kumar Choudhary; Krishan Singh; Sharad Kumar Srivastava; and Hirdesh Srivastava Number.
The application for the patent was published on August 28, 2026, under issue no. 35/2026.
Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for selecting a clock source for synchronization recovery. According to one implementation, a method (90) includes a step (92) of receiving Master clock signals and source recovery indicators from upstream branches of a communications system, each source recovery indicator corresponding to a respective Master clock signal. Furthermore, the method (90) includes a step (94) of utilizing a prioritization strategy to prioritize the Master clock signals based on information derived from the source recovery indicators. During synchronization recovery, the method (90) also includes a step (96) of selecting one of the Master clock signals based on the prioritization strategy to act as a temporary synchronization source in a downstream branch of the communications system.
