Abstract
A system and method for implementing cross-network synchronization of nodes on a vehicle bus includes periodically sampling a notion of time from a first network, transmitting a message from the first network to a node on a second network, wherein the message includes the notion of time, and updating a local clock on the second network node based on the notion of time in the message.
