Abstract:
Systems and methods for network synchronization are included. For example, a method for network synchronization may include wirelessly communicating a beacon over a wireless personal area network, in which the beacon may include a beacon payload having a timestamp of a master clock for synchronization of a local clock of a device on the wireless personal area network. The method may also include receiving the beacon in the device, obtaining the timestamp from the beacon payload, and setting the local clock based on the timestamp of the master clock. Another beacon may also be communicated. The other beacon may include another beacon payload having a follow up message for synchronization of the local clock of the device.
