<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To time-synchronize free running nodes in an avionics network. <P>SOLUTION: A method of synchronizing a local estimation of global network time of a receiving node 70, 76, 80, 84, 90, 94 on a network to a global network time reference (GNT) is provided. The free running nodes 70, 76, 80, 84, 90, 94 receive precise time protocol synchronization messages and determine a ratio (R) and an offset (TO) based on time data extracted from the messages. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
