Abstract
A method for providing time information to user devices in a wireless network includes configuring transmitters in the wireless network based on the time zone in which they are located. Each transmitter may then transmit a frame, such as a synchronization frame, that includes information that may be used by a user device to identify a time zone in which the user device is located.
Claims25
A method for providing time information to user devices via a wireless network, comprising:
- configuring a plurality of transmitters in the wireless network such that a synchronization frame transmitted by each of the plurality of transmitters may be used by the user devices to identify time zone information;
- and
- transmitting, by each of the plurality of transmitters, the synchronization frame via the wireless network.
A system, comprising:
- a plurality of transmitters, each of the plurality of transmitters configured to:
- insert information in a synchronization frame, the information corresponding to a time zone associated with the respective transmitter, and
- transmit the synchronization frame via a wireless network.
A system, comprising:
- means for providing time zone information to a user device via a synchronization frame;
- and
- means for transmitting the synchronization frame to the user device via a wireless network.
A device, comprising:
- a receiver configured to receive radio frequency (RF) signals from a transmitter, the RF signals including a synchronization signal;
- and
- logic configured to:
- decode the synchronization signal, and
- identify a time zone in which the device is located based on the decoded synchronization signal.
