Instructions

Reading digital theses in the closed network of the Aalto University Harald Herlin Learning Centre

In the closed network of Learning Centre you can read digital and digitized theses not available in the open network.

The Learning Centre contact details and opening hours: https://learningcentre.aalto.fi/en/harald-herlin-learning-centre/

You can read theses on the Learning Centre customer computers, which are available on all floors.

Logging on to the customer computers

  • Aalto University staff members log on to the customer computer using the Aalto username and password.
  • Other customers log on using a shared username and password.

Opening a thesis

  • On the desktop of the customer computers, you will find an icon titled:

    Aalto Thesis Database

  • Click on the icon to search for and open the thesis you are looking for from Aaltodoc database. You can find the thesis file by clicking the link on the OEV or OEVS field.

Reading the thesis

  • You can either print the thesis or read it on the customer computer screen.
  • You cannot save the thesis file on a flash drive or email it.
  • You cannot copy text or images from the file.
  • You cannot edit the file.

Printing the thesis

  • You can print the thesis for your personal study or research use.
  • Aalto University students and staff members may print black-and-white prints on the PrintingPoint devices when using the computer with personal Aalto username and password. Color printing is possible using the printer u90203-psc3, which is located near the customer service. Color printing is subject to a charge to Aalto University students and staff members.
  • Other customers can use the printer u90203-psc3. All printing is subject to a charge to non-University members.

Abstract (eng):Mobile networks rely on the availability of accurate synchronization to maintain proper operations and service Quality.
TDD-based technologies require high level of frequency stability and accuracy in the air interface while FDD technologies and some advance feature, in LTE and LTE-A, require further phase and time synchronization to function properly.
Network synchronization in mobile networks is generally responsible for the distribution of timing references in the RAN via the transport network.
While legacy TDM-based backhauls are capable of delivering frequency synchronization, phase and time synchronization require the use of packet-based timing protocols to propagate time information.
The performance of packet-based protocols is, however, highly dependent on the performance of the underlying packet network.
Network impairments, such as packet delay variations, generally have a significant impact on the performance of packet-based methods.
Considering the high level of accuracy required in phase and time synchronization in mobile networks, it is essential that the potential sources of error need to be identified and appropriate mitigation mechanisms be considered in the design and implementation of the timing functionalities.
As such, this thesis focuses on investigating the potential sources of error in distributing time information across packet-based backhaul networks so that the clock recovery algorithms will be designed with the proper detection and compensation mechanisms needed to meet the stringent requirements for phase and time synchronization.
