ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides an improved clock synchronization algorithm for a distributed system intended for real time applications by performing at the same time an off-set correction and a clock read correction at each node of the distributed system. Expensive oscillators can be avoided and synchronization can be established faster and with higher precision.
