A SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CORRECTING THE CLOCK DRIFT AND MAINTAINING THE SYNCHRONIZATION IN WIRELESS NETWORKS

摘要

A system and method (200) for establishing and maintaining node clock synchronization in a wireless network. The system and method calculates (214) the clock shift and propagation delay values using a series of message exchanges and control algorithms between a selected reference node and a client node in a wireless network, then uses these values to synchronize (216) the client node clock to the reference node clock.
