Abstract
Provided are a time synchronization method using 5G reference time distribution and a network entity performing the same. The time synchronization method may include receiving, by a time sensitive communication time synchronization function (TSCTSF), a 5G reference time distribution request including time synchronization parameter values from an application function (AF); performing, by the TSCTSF, policy modification; and transmitting, by the TSCTSF, a setting of the 5G reference time distribution to the AF.

A time synchronization method using 5G reference time distribution comprising:
- receiving, by a time sensitive communication time synchronization function (TSCTSF), a 5G reference time distribution request including time synchronization parameter values from an application function (AF);
- performing, by the TSCTSF, policy modification;
- and
- transmitting, by the TSCTSF, a setting of the 5G reference time distribution to the AF based on the policy modification.
A network entity of performing a time synchronization method using 5G reference time distribution comprising:
- a network interface configured to transmit and receive data with other network entities;
- and
- a processor configured to receive a 5G reference time distribution request including time synchronization parameter values from an application function (AF), perform policy modification, and transmit a setting of the 5G reference time distribution to the AF.
