Abstract
A technique for performing time synchronization between a master device and a slave device is disclosed. A method implementation of the technique is performed by the master device and comprises transmitting, using optical wireless signals, a timestamp representative of a clock time of the master device to the slave device, wherein the timestamp is encoded using a color-based optical coding scheme and is to be used by the slave device to set a clock time of the slave device in accordance with the timestamp to thereby synchronize the clock time of the slave device with the clock time of the master device.
