Abstract

A system, method and computer product for performing a time synchronization between first and second nodes includes the first node performing: generating a synchronization message, transmitting the synchronization message to the second node at a first time, taking a first timestamp in response to the synchronization message being transmitted and transmitting a timestamp message including the first timestamp to the second node at a second time; and the second node performing: receiving the synchronization message and the timestamp message from the first node, taking a second timestamp in response to the synchronization message being received, receiving the timestamp message from the first node, obtaining the first timestamp based on the received timestamp message, obtaining a timing offset between the first timestamp and the second timestamp and performing a time synchronization to the first node based on the timing offset.
