SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SYNCHRONIZING TIMING BETWEEN WIRELESS NETWORKING DEVICES

摘要

Systems and methods are provided for synchronizing a timing of one or more access points in an area. The systems and methods utilize a timestamp frame exchange between the one or more access points based on a timestamp refresh interval that is changed after each timestamp frame exchange is performed.

1. A method for synchronizing a timing of a first device with a second device in communication with the first device, comprising:
transmitting a timestamp request frame from the first device to the second device when a timestamp refresh interval expires; receiving, by the first device, a timestamp response frame, the timestamp response frame including a time value representative of an internal clock of the second device; updating a clock of the first device based on the time value; and selecting a new timestamp refresh interval.
