Do you know how many RF signals would be interrupted by a 1ms broadcast every second that covers every possible spectrum? A hint: most of them. Many protocols rely on exclusive access to the spectrum, and couldn’t possibly be synchronized well enough to have a constant 1ms pulse interrupt them.
- cornholio 2y agoOP mentioned packetized, not digital.
- Kirby64 2y agoAll packetized traffic is digital. What’s your point? Regardless of the implementation, anything that would require all other traffic to back off (ie not transmit) every 1ms would break most wireless things.
- playingalong 2y agoThey said for 1 ms every second.
- mikewarot 2y agoEverything is already packetized and queued before transmitting. It seems that there are existing timing synchronization frames[1] in 5G transmissions at present. It would only require adding additional metadata to make those useful for positioning and timing distribution. So, it might only be a few dozen packets/second in the worst case, for cell phone sites, etc. As far as consumer equipment, like WiFi routers, etc... those are unlicensed, and wouldn't be part of this proposed use. (Though I suppose someone could figure out how to do it with WiFi, etc) [1] https://howltestuffworks.blogspot.com/2019/10/5g-nr-synchronization-signalpbch-block.html https://howltestuffworks.blogspot.com/2019/10/5g-nr-synchron...
