Timing synchronization over cable networks

Abstract

In one embodiment, a method receives a first time from a network device. The first time is derived from a first timing source in a first domain. The method receives a second time in a second domain from a second timing source. A difference time value is calculated between the first time and the second time. The method then sends the difference time value to the network device where the network device uses the difference time value to send a delay value to other computing devices to synchronize timing of the other computing devices in the second domain. The other computing devices are configured to synchronize the respective time using the delay value with mobile network devices to allow timing synchronization between the mobile network devices.
