In modern networks, timing and synchronization are taking on increasing importance for several reasons: The widespread deployment of Time-Division Duplexing (TDD) midband spectrum for 5G, and because increasingly exact coordination is being demanded of the network for advanced air interface features. As MNOs shift their attention from initial 5G roll-outs to optimization and densification, and as customer uptake of 5G puts more traffic onto the new networks, it is crucial to be able to quickly and efficiently identify and remediate timing and synchronization errors.
