Abstract
A method and apparatus for synchronizing with communication traffic in a network without joining the network. The method and apparatus synchronize to the communication traffic by mimicking a BLUETOOTH slave device in order to obtain a preliminary or unconnected system clock time in a master page frequency hop synchronization (FHS) packet from a BLUETOOTH master device when the master device is not connected to any BLUETOOTH slave devices, and then updating the preliminary system clock time with a time-of-arrival of a communication traffic packet from the master device after a connection is formed between the master device and a BLUETOOTH slave device.
