Disclosed is a method of performing a periodical synchronization at a predetermined transmission link for ensuring a start of a super frame in a residential Ethernet system. The method includes the steps of ensuring a start of a first predetermined super frame at the predetermined transmission link, transmitting Sync frames and Async frames through a predetermined number (N-1) of super frames, in which N is a total number of the super frames, and controlling an Async frame to be transmitted at an end point of the (N-1) super frames in such a manner that a start of a next super frame (Nth super frame) is strictly ensured, thereby maintaining a synchronization for the start of the super frame.

A method for allocating slots for a synchronous Ethernet service in a Residential Ethernet system includes the steps of: receiving requests for synchronous Ethernet services from terminals requiring the synchronous Ethernet services; calculating a number of slots for each synchronous Ethernet service, and allocating slots for each terminal based on the calculated number of slots; transmitting information about the allocated slots through at least one Residential Ethernet switch; and receiving acknowledgement signals from the terminals in response to the allocated slot information and providing the synchronous Ethernet services using the allocated slots.

A method for transmitting asynchronous data includes including: comparing a size of asynchronous data with that of an empty transmission area; inserting the asynchronous data into the empty transmission area when the asynchronous data has a size smaller than or equal to that of the empty transmission area; determining if the empty transmission area has a size larger than a predetermined threshold value when the asynchronous data has a size larger than that of the empty transmission area; transmitting the asynchronous data with the empty transmission area left when the empty transmission area has a size smaller than the predetermined threshold value; and segmenting the asynchronous data according to the size of the empty transmission area when the empty transmission area has a size larger than the predetermined threshold value, inserting the segmented asynchronous data into the empty transmission area, and transmitting remaining segmented asynchronous data in a subsequent transmission cycle.

Disclosed is a method for forming a super frame used for transmitting isochronous data and asynchronous data in a residential Ethernet system. The method includes the steps of receiving the isochronous data and the asynchronous data to be transmitted through the residential Ethernet system, forming an isochronous frame using the received isochronous data, forming a cycle start frame used for reporting start of the super frame, and inserting the asynchronous data into an area of an asynchronous frame by employing a remaining area as the area of the asynchronous frame, the remaining area being obtained by excluding an isochronous frame area, which includes the cycle start frame and the isochronous frame, from an area having the predetermined size.

A method of configuring system layers for a synchronous Ethernet is provided. In the method, a physical layer takes charge of input and output of an Ethernet frame in direct relation to hardware, an xMII (x Media Independent Interface) layer connects the physical layer to a data link layer. The data link layer has a sync frame processor for processing a synchronous frame and an async frame processor for processing an asynchronous frame. A parser and multiplexer (MUX), included in the x MII layer, construct a super frame with a synchronous frame and an asynchronous frame, transmit the super frame through the physical layer, parse a received super frame into a synchronous frame and an asynchronous frame, and transmit the synchronous and asynchronous frames to the data link layer.

A method of enabling transmission of a time-critical control signal event in a sync frame period, such as a pause signal that is generated when the receive buffer of an Ethernet switch is filled with packets beyond a threshold due to congestion of uplink asynchronous data, is disclosed. To transmit time-critical information in a synchronous Ethernet system, a current transmission period is checked upon detection of a time-critical event. If the current transmission period is a sync frame period, time-critical control information is generated, inserted into the first sub-sync frame after the time-critical event, and transmitted. If the current transmission period is an async frame period, a control frame including the time-critical control information is generated and transmitted.

Disclosed is a method for establishing a synchronization in a synchronous Ethernet system. Devices are classified according to the type of the devices, and a device having a highest class in the synchronous Ethernet system is detected, then it is determined if the device having the highest class is able to serve as the timing master. If so, the device having the highest class is able to serve as the timing master if only one such device is detected; otherwise, the timing master between devices having the highest class is selected through a collision algorithm.
