Abstract:
A synchronization method and a device in a communications network are provided. A control node obtains information about a time difference between at least one group of two adjacent network nodes in a to-be-synchronized area; determine, according to the information about the time difference between the two adjacent network nodes, a time adjustment value that needs to be used when a to-be-synchronized network node in the to-be-synchronized area is synchronized with a selected reference node; and send the determined time adjustment value to the to-be-synchronized network node, so that the to-be-synchronized network node adjusts time of the to-be-synchronized network node according to the corresponding time adjustment value. The control node is used to implement synchronization control on network nodes in the to-be-synchronized area. This solution is easy to implement, and reduces costs because there is no need to install GPS on each network node.

Claim (Index 3):
The method according to  claim 2 , wherein obtaining the information comprises:\n receiving, by the control node, different times at which the two adjacent network nodes separately receive each of random access requests from different terminals, wherein the different times are separately reported by the two adjacent network nodes; determining, by the control node, for each of the different terminals, information about a difference between times at which the two adjacent network nodes receive a random access request from each of the terminals; performing, by the control node, averaging processing on all determined time difference information; and determining, by the control node, final information about the time difference between the two adjacent network nodes according to time difference information obtained after the averaging processing.
