    Abstract: A first layer one link aggregation master comprises a first port coupled to receive customer traffic; a first channel; a second channel; an aggregation engine coupled to the first and second channels; a first switch circuit coupled to the first port and to the first channel, and configured to communicate the customer traffic from the first port over the first channel to the aggregation engine, the aggregation engine including a splitter circuit configured to use layer one information to segment at least a portion of the customer traffic into a first virtual container and a second virtual container, the aggregation engine further including an encapsulation circuit configured to encapsulate the second virtual container using Ethernet standards for transport over the second channel; a radio access card configured to generate an air frame based on the first virtual container for wireless transmission over a first wireless link of a link aggregation group to the receiver; and a second switch circuit coupled to the second channel, and configured to communicate the Ethernet-encapsulated second virtual container over an Ethernet cable to a slave for wireless transmission over a second wireless link of the link aggregation group to the receiver.

    Abstract: An example method comprises receiving, by a first PHY of a first transceiver, a timing packet, timestamping, by the first transceiver, the timing packet and providing the timing packet to a first intermediate node, determining a first offset between the first intermediate node and the first transceiver, updating a first field within the timing packet with the first offset between the first intermediate node and the first transceiver, the offset being in the direction of the second transceiver, receiving the timing packet by a second transceiver, the timing packet including the first field, information within the first field being at least based on the first offset, determining a second offset between the second transceiver and an intermediate node that provided the timing packet to the second transceiver and correcting a time of the second transceiver based on the information within the first field and the second offset.

    Abstract: An exemplary method of synchronizing a master clock and a slave clock comprises transmitting a plurality of packets between a master device and a slave device, calculating a first skew between a first pair of the plurality of packets at the slave device and a second skew between the first pair at the master device, calculating a ratio between the first skew and the second skew, providing a slave clock frequency correction to the slave device, calculating a first packet trip delay using a time that the master device initiates sending a packet to the slave device, a time the master device receives a response from the slave device, a corrected time the slave device receives the packet, and a corrected time the slave device initiates sending the response, calculating a first offset based on the first packet trip delay, and providing the first offset to the slave device.
