Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of radio navigation, and in particular, to a method, device, and system for synchronizing relative time.
Background

The time synchronization scheme applied to the existing system is a GNSS time synchronization scheme, each communication base station or navigation base station is provided with a GNSS device, GNSS time is provided for each base station, and therefore time synchronization among multiple base stations is achieved. However, it is not practical for indoor communication base stations and indoor navigation base stations, because GNSS signals cannot cover the indoor space, a large number of cables need to be laid for configuring GNSS equipment for each base station, which brings great inconvenience to construction and is high in cost; in addition, not all navigation systems and communication systems need absolute time synchronization, and more importantly, a uniform time relationship, i.e., relative time synchronization, is established between each navigation signal transmitting base station and each communication signal transmitting base station in the system.

Further, in step S1, the carrier channel a and the carrier channel B may be the same frequency or different frequencies.
Further, in step S4, the frequency synchronization between the inter-synchronization node a and the time synchronization node B can be further achieved by time synchronization a plurality of times.
The invention also provides time synchronization equipment which is characterized by comprising a clock module, a processing module, a clock synchronization signal generating module, a time synchronization signal processing module, a transmitting module and a receiving module which are connected with each other. The clock module is responsible for providing time and frequency required by the operation of the time synchronization equipment and adjusting the local time and frequency after the time synchronization is finished.
