Abstract
The invention relates to a method of synchronizing clocks of at least two devices in a network and a corresponding wireless device for synchronizing its clock with another wireless device. The method comprises steps of: transmitting a synchronization signal to said at least one second device to determine at least one time offset between a clock of the first device and at least one clock associated with said at least one second device; receiving said at least one time offset from said at least one second device; determining a time interval for the first device based on a time offset parameter corresponding to said at least one time offset, after which time interval the first device transmits a next synchronization signal to said at least one second device. With this method, the radio station is able to reduce its power consumption when the time offset between the first device and the second device is small.
