Synchronization of Digital Networks

Call for Papers

Since the first advent of digital telecommunications, network synchronization has a determining influence on the performance and the quality of most services offered by the network operator to his customers. Nowadays, as the introduction of transmission systems based on SDH (Synchronous Digital Hierarchy) in the public networks is drawing near, the need for adequate network synchronization facilities becomes more and more stringent in order to fully exploit SDH capabilities. For these reasons, all the major network operators have set up, or are now planning, nationwide synchronization networks, and the whole subject is at present very debated both in Academia and in the relevant standard bodies. The ETT Journal announces a forthcoming issue on Synchronization of Digital Networks, that will include (but will not be limited to) the following topics:
