Clock Synchronization Modes
GPS Clock
If an eNodeB is synchronized with the GPS clock, the eNodeB obtains clock
synchronization signals from the GPS through the USCU. In this case, both
frequency synchronization and time synchronization are applicable
IEEE1588 V2 Clock
IEEE1588 defines the Precision Time Protocol (PTP), which targets precise
synchronization of distributed and independent clocks in measurement and control
systems, with the precision to microseconds. IEEE1588 V2 supports frequency
synchronization and time synchronization
In LTE applications, high-accuracy frequency synchronization and time
synchronization can be achieved between clock servers and eNodeBs by IEEE1588
V2 synchronization

Clock Synchronization Modes (Cont.)
Clock over IP
Clock over IP is a Huawei proprietary frequency synchronization
technology, which is based on an IP clock server/client architecture. It
supports only frequency synchronization
Free Running
The clock enters the free running mode if no reference clock is available
after the oscillator is warmed up or if the clock has lost its reference input
for a period of time longer than the timer of the holdover mode

LRFU
LTE Radio Frequency Units (LRFUs) work in Frequency
Division Duplex (FDD) mode
The LRFU processes uplink and downlink services and
controls and monitors internal boards or modules.
LRFU is RF unit which adopted by BTS3900,
BTS3900A, BTS3900L
MRFU
One Multi-Mode Radio Frequency Unit (MRFU)
supports a maximum of six carriers, which support
GSM/UMTS/LTE
The MRFU processes uplink and downlink services
and controls and monitors internal boards or
modules.
MRFU is RF unit which adopted by BTS3900,
