Abstract

Disclosed is a method for network synchronization acquisition in a wireless network. A synchronized node transmits a first synchronization reference signal, a second synchronization reference signal, and a beacon according to a predetermined period. A non-synchronized node receives the first synchronization reference signal, the second synchronization signal, and the beacon from at least one transmitting node. Then, the non-synchronized node acquires network synchronization temporarily based on the first synchronization reference signal, decodes the beacon, and checks whether at least one transmitting node exists or not. Then, the non-synchronized node requests a network synchronization forwarding service or a time adjustment, and acquires synchronization based on the provided network synchronization forwarding service.
