ABSTRACT:
A method of synchronizing a network includes transmitting a tone signal to convey time information and setting a local time according to the conveyed time information. The method may also include detecting an occurrence of a predefined aspect of the tone signal, and setting a local time based on the occurrence of the predefined aspect of the signal.
