Wireless apparats and wireless apparatus processing method to enhance time synchronization accuracy between a plurality of wireless apparatuses in a wireless network

A wireless apparatus processing method, comprising:

• performing a time synchronization processing between a wireless
• apparatus and a communication apparatus, wherein the communication apparatus configures a wireless network together with the wireless apparatus;
• and
• determining whether the wireless apparatus is a parent node or a child node in the wireless network;
• performing the time synchronization processing as a clock master for the child node under control based on the determination that the wireless apparatus is the parent node;
• performing the time synchronization processing as a clock slave for the parent node based on the determination that the wireless apparatus is the child node;
• and
• transmitting clock accuracy information and timestamp information to the communication apparatus based on the determination that the wireless apparatus is the child node.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon, computer executable instructions, which when executed by a computer, cause the computer to execute operations, the operations comprising:

• performing a time synchronization processing between a wireless apparatus and a communication apparatus, wherein the communication apparatus configures a wireless network together with the wireless apparatus;
• and
• determining whether the wireless apparatus is a parent node or a child node in the wireless network;
• performing the time synchronization processing as a clock master for the child node under control based on the determination that the wireless apparatus is the parent node;
• performing the time synchronization processing as a clock slave for the parent node when the wireless apparatus is the child node;
• and
• transmitting clock accuracy information and timestamp information to the communication apparatus based on the determination that the wireless apparatus is the child node.

A wireless apparatus, comprising:

• circuitry configured to:
• perform a time synchronization processing between the wireless apparatus and a communication apparatus, wherein the communication apparatus configures a wireless network together with the wireless apparatus;
• and
• determine whether the wireless apparatus is a parent node or a child node in the wireless network;
• perform the time synchronization processing as a clock master for the child node under control based on the determination that the wireless apparatus is the parent node;
• perform the time synchronization processing as a clock slave for the parent node based on the determination that the wireless apparatus is the child node;
• receive clock accuracy information and timestamp information from the communication apparatus;
• determine a clock accuracy of the communication apparatus is higher than a clock accuracy of the wireless apparatus based on the clock accuracy information;
• and
• correct a clock value of the wireless apparatus by the timestamp information based on the determination that the clock accuracy of the communication apparatus is higher than the clock accuracy of the wireless apparatus and based on the determination that the wireless apparatus is the parent node.
