<p>A method of synchronizing nodes belonging to separate respective node clusters is disclosed. The invention aims to provide better synchronization in multi cluster networks. The method comprises: locally synchronizing the nodes of each node cluster according to synchronization elements regularly transmitted within said each node cluster, and upon a cluster association event, forwarding previously received synchronization elements, by nodes of said node clusters to respective neighbour nodes, receiving, by a first node of a first cluster, a synchronization element from a second node of a neighbour second cluster, computing a synchronization offset element between said first and second clusters and synchronizing said first and second nodes based at least on said synchronization offset element.</p> |
