SYNCHRONIZING NETWORK DEVICE FOR WIRELESS COMMUNICATION, IN PARTICULAR NETWORK TERMINAL, IN WIRELESS NETWORK Russian patent published in 2020 - IPC H04W56/00 

FIELD: electrical communication engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to communication. To this end, the following steps are provided: receiving a synchronization frame and determining a timestamp T_AP; using the IWC clock contained in the IWC, generating a time stamp T_B, which determines the time of receiving the synchronization frame; potential change is created on IWC port, which is synchronization event; using IWC clock generates time stamp T_SE, determining moment of synchronization event; and the SED determines the synchronization event by analysing the time duration of changing the potential of the IWC port and generates the time mark T_S using the synchronized time signal T_CCG, where T_S determines the same synchronization event time as T_SE. T_AP, T_B, T_SE and T_S, determined by processing one or more synchronization event frames, are then used to synchronize the synchronized time signal T_CCG generated by the CCG system with the time signal of the master device.

EFFECT: technical result is simple synchronization of network nodes in a wireless network, implemented on low-cost hardware, while maintaining accurate synchronization.
