Patent attributes
A transmission device uses transmission delay time of reciprocation with the terminal and time information of the transmission device to create a correction value of time information of the terminal and transmits it to the terminal. The terminal includes expected arrival time information based on the time information of the terminal and the correction value received from the transmission device in a frame transmitted to the transmission device. The transmission device compares reception time of the frame with the expected arrival time information in the frame. If they match, the time information of the terminal synchronizes with the time information of the transmission device. If they do not match, the transmission device transmits a new correction value to the terminal. The terminal transmits a frame including expected arrival time information using the new correction value to the transmission device.
