Abstract

Systems and methods for processing signals are disclosed. The method may include, in a communication system comprising a plurality of devices, controlling the supply of one or more clock signals from a first clock source to one or more of the plurality of devices based on a signal communicated from a particular one of the plurality of devices to a second clock source and a request for a clock signal from one of the plurality of devices. The communicated signal may control an accuracy of the second clock source. The particular one of the plurality of devices may have highest accuracy requirements among the plurality of devices. At least one main clock signal may be generated for at least one of the plurality of devices utilizing an input clock signal received from the second clock source.
