Timing errors refer to discrepancies in the timing of events or signals within a system or network. These errors can occur due to various factors such as delays in signal propagation, clock drift, or synchronization issues between different components. Timing errors can have significant impacts on the performance and reliability of a system, especially in real-time applications or communication systems where precise timing is crucial. Researchers in this area work on developing techniques and algorithms to mitigate timing errors, improve synchronization, and ensure accurate timing in complex systems. They may also investigate the impact of timing errors on system performance and develop strategies to detect and correct them.
