Abstract
A user-plane network node and a method for clock synchronization are provided. The method includes determining, with processing circuitry of the user-plane network node, a time difference between a system clock of an external network of the user-plane network node and a system clock of a network to which the user-plane network node belongs. The method includes transmitting, to a control-plane network node, information including the time difference. The time difference is used by the control-plane network node to determine a time parameter of the system clock of the network to which the user-plane network node belongs. The time parameter is time-sensitive communication assistance information. The transmitting the information is independent of a particular Protocol Data Unit (PDU) session.
