NETWORK ENTITIES AND METHODS FOR A WIRELESS NETWORK SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING TIME INFORMATION

摘要

The present disclosure provides a network entity for a wireless network system. The network entity is configured to obtain an ingress time of a received packet, the ingress time indicating the time at which the packet enters the network system, determine time information regarding the packet based on the ingress time, and provide the time information to another network entity. A further network entity for a wireless network system is configured to obtain time information regarding a received packet from another network entity, and obtain an egress time of the packet, the egress time indicating a time at which the packet leaves the network system, based on the time information. This disclosure also relates to the network entities that are configured to synchronize an internal time valid at the network entities with an external time valid at an external network entity.
