A method for synchronizing two connection nodes by a reception node of the connection nodes with a clock data recovery circuit that generates a synchronization clock from input data. The method includes performing a synchronization process to establish synchronization between the connection nodes based on the synchronization clock, performing a connection failure process when the synchronization is not established when a first time elapses after receiving the input data, correcting the clock data recovery circuit when the synchronization is not established when a second time elapses after receiving the input data, wherein the second time is shorter than the first time, and performing a resynchronization process to establish synchronization between the connection nodes based on a synchronization clock, which is generated by the clock data recovery circuit that has been corrected, before the first time elapses and after the second time elapses.
