초록

분산 네트워크의 노드들은 그룹 동작을 위해 기본적으로 장치들 간의 시각 동기를 요구한다. 정밀한 시각 동기는 분산 네트워크에서 다양한 응용의 확장을 가져다 줄 뿐만 아니라 보다 정확한 정보를 제공한다. IEEE 1588은 근거리 네트워크 내에서 노드들 간에 정밀한 시각 동기를 제공하기 위한 표준이다. 본 논문에서는 IEEE 1588을 지그비(Zigbee) 네트워크로 확장하기 위한 PTP 게이트웨이를 설계 및 구현한다. PTP 게이트웨이는 이더넷 기반의 IEEE 1588을 지그비 네트워크로 확장할 수 있으며, 이더넷을 통해 연결된 둘 이상의 지그비 네트워크에서 IEEE 1588 프로토콜을 이용하여 동일한 참조 시각을 공유할 수 있다. 또한, 본 논문에서는 PTP 게이트웨이를 이용한 IEEE 1588 기반의 시각 동기 기법에 대한 실험과 성능평가를 언급한다. 성능평가 결과, 이더넷을 경유한 두 지그비 네트워크에서 노드들 간에 약 300 나노초의 표준편차를 이루었다.

The coordination of distributed entities and events requires time synchronization. Precision time synchronization enables a variety of extensions of applications and provides much accurate information. The IEEE 1588 precision time protocol (PTP) provides a standard method to synchronize devices in a network. This paper deals with the design and implementation of a PTP gateway to extend IEEE 1588 to Zigbee networks. The PTP gateway can not only extend IEEE 1588 to Zigbee networks but also share the same time reference using IEEE 1588 between two or more Zigbee networks. This paper also presents experiments and performance evaluation of time synchronization using the PTP gateway. Our result established a method for nodes in a network to maintain their clocks to within a 300 nanosecond offset from the reference clock of a master node via Ethernet.
