Abstract:
Time stamp replication within wireless networks is described. In an embodiment, a wireless station receives an input time stamp and uses this input time stamp to generate an output time stamp. The wireless station transmits the output time stamp to wireless stations in one of a number of groups which make up the wireless network. The output time stamp is generated to compensate for delays between receiving the input time stamp and transmitting the output time stamp such that output time stamp which is transmitted at a time T corresponds to the value that the input time stamp would have had if it had been received at time T (and not at a time earlier than T). This may, therefore, reduce or eliminate independent time stamp errors and jitter caused by multiple disparate systems and processes.

Claim (Index 1):
A method comprising:\n receiving an input time stamp at a wireless station in a wireless network, the wireless network comprising two or more groups of wireless stations; extracting the input time stamp; calculating an error between the value of the input time stamp and the value of a local counter driven by a local oscillator; adjusting the rate of the local counter based on the calculated error; using the input time stamp to overwrite the local counter; generating an output time stamp based on the value of the local counter at a time a frame comprising the output time stamp is transmitted or the value of the local counter at a time the frame is predicted to be transmitted; and transmitting the frame comprising the output time stamp to wireless stations within one of the groups.
