| 20110035511 | Remote Hardware Timestamp-Based Clock Synchronization - Techniques are described herein for time synchronization between two devices that communicate with each other across a network, wherein the computations needed for clock synchronization are offloaded from one device to the other, e.g., from a second device (slave) to a first device (master). Messages are received from the first device at a second device. Time of reception values for the messages received at the second device are recorded with respect to a clock of the second device. The second device sends a time value transfer message to the first device or to a third device, wherein the time value transfer message comprises the time of reception values. On the basis of the time of reception values, the first device or the third device computes a clock correction value that represents a time and/or frequency offset between a clock of the first device and the clock of the second device, and sends the time value transfer message to the second device. The second device then updates or adjusts its clock using the clock correction value. | 02-10-2011 |
