ABSTRACT:
In an ad hoc peer-to-peer communications network, timing synchronization is facilitated between two or more nodes. A node can establish an original symbol timing and receive a first timing synchronization symbol from a peer node. A timing adjustment can be calculated based in part on the first timing synchronization symbol. An adjusted symbol timing can be established by adjusting the first symbol timing by the calculated timing adjustment amount. The adjusted symbol timing can be conveyed to one or more peer nodes, in order to facilitate timing synchronization among the nodes.
