ABSTRACT:
A system and method for establishing and maintaining node clock synchronization in a wireless network. The system and method calculates the clock shift, clock drift and propagation delay values using a series of message exchanges and control algorithms between a selected reference node and a client node in a wireless network, then uses these values to synchronize the client node clock to the reference node clock.
