Method and system for synchronizing platform clocks in a distributed wireless platform

摘要

According to one embodiment of the present invention, a novel method and system are disclosed. In one embodiment, a first node records a first node local time of receiving a wirelessly transmitted packet, the first node local time recorded with a monotonically increasing clock of the first node. The first node wirelessly transmits the recorded local time to at least a second node. The second node records a second node local time of receiving the wirelessly transmitted packet and records the first node local time of receiving the wirelessly transmitted packet. The second node updates a second node timing model to synchronize with the first node, the updating based on the second node local time of receiving the wirelessly transmitted packet and the first node local time of receiving the wirelessly transmitted packet. In one embodiment, the method and system further include synchronizing sample numbers of a multimedia stream on the second node with the timing model of the second node, the timing model of the second node having been synchronized with the first node.
