    Abstract: The present disclosure provides techniques for measuring and compensating for clock drift errors in time-aware networks and time-sensitive applications, where a time-aware system (TAS) measures clock drift, and compensates for the measured clock drift, and makes predictions of future clock drift values based on history and other physical measurements. Existing messages used for measuring link delay and/or used for time synchronization can be used for frequency measurement (and thus clock drift measurement), and this measured drift can be applied as a correction factor whenever synchronization is determined and/or used. The predicted clock drift rate can be based on various probability distributions including linear, Kalman filters, and/or others. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

    Abstract: Systems and methods of generating a synchronized media content presentation using a plurality of media output systems communicably coupled to a respective plurality of network connected platforms are provided. A first network connected platform receives an IEEE 802.1AS master timing signal generated by “Grand Master” timing circuitry disposed in a second network connected platform. IEEE 802.1AS application service circuitry disposed in the first network connected platform determines an offset between a local timing signal and the receive master timing signal. Talker circuitry disposed in the first network connected platform synchronizes a media content presentation to the master timing signal and communicates a media/master timing signal synchronization signal to each of the network connected platforms. The media/master timing signal synchronization signal includes data representative of a media start location and a media start time referenced to the master timing signal.
