Content for TR 22.878 Word version: 18.2.0
1 Scope p. 6
The present document identifies additional potential requirements on the 5G system to support time-synchronization services in public and vertical domains, including both the ability to improve resiliency of timing services involving technologies supported by 5G and the ability to the ability to act as a backup for GNSS timing services.
The use cases address:
- the use of 5G system in concert with other timing technologies as a resilient timing source for end-users in complement/back-up/alternate to GNSS, and
- enhancement to the 5G system to enable time synchronization resiliency if GNSS or other timing services are compromised.
2 References p. 6
The following documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of the present document.
- References are either specific (identified by date of publication, edition number, version number, etc.) or non-specific.
- For a specific reference, subsequent revisions do not apply.

3.1 Definitions p. 7
For the purposes of the present document, the terms and definitions given in TR 21.905 and the following apply. A term defined in the present document takes precedence over the definition of the same term, if any, in TR 21.905.
holdover:
A clock A, previously synchronized/syntonized to another clock B (normally a primary reference or a Master Clock) but whose frequency is determined in part using data acquired while it was synchronized/syntonized to B, is said to be in holdover or in the holdover mode as long as it is within its accuracy requirements.
Holdover time:
the time period that is available to repair the first priority timing source when it is lost (e.g., when the primary GNSS reference is lost). During this period the synchronization accuracy requirement should be guaranteed, e.g., by means of defining multiple synchronization references.
3.2 Abbreviations p. 7
For the purposes of the present document, the abbreviations given in TR 21.905 and the following apply. An abbreviation defined in the present document takes precedence over the definition of the same abbreviation, if any, in TR 21.905.
