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 16):
The control node according to  claim 11 , wherein the processor is configured to:\n determine that the to-be-synchronized network node is not adjacent to the reference node, and determine an intermediate network node that is adjacent to the to-be-synchronized network node; determine information about a time difference between the intermediate network node and the to-be-synchronized network node, and use the determined time difference information between the intermediate network node and the to-be-synchronized network node as a first time adjustment value; determine information about a time difference between the intermediate network node and the reference node, and use the determined time difference information between the intermediate network node and the reference node as a second time adjustment value; and determine a sum of the first time adjustment value and the second time adjustment value as the time adjustment value corresponding to the to-be-synchronized network node.
