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 20):
The control node according to  claim 11 , wherein when the reference node is faulty, the processor is further configured to:\n 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 the to-be-synchronized network node is synchronized with a selected standby node; and the transceiver is further configured to send the determined time adjustment value to the to-be-synchronized network node.
