Abstract
A communication method includes the steps of, at a first system, communicating with a second system for the establishment of a mutual clock and, at the first system, performing a first set of operations based on the mutual clock and performing a different, second set of operations based on a first clock of the first system, wherein the first clock is different from the mutual clock.
Claims21
A communication method comprising the steps of:
- at a first system, communicating with a second system for the establishment of a mutual clock;
- and
- at the first system, performing a first set of operations based on the mutual clock and performing a different, second set of operations based on a first clock of the first system, wherein the first clock is different from the mutual clock.
A communication method comprising the steps of:
- at a first system, communicating with a second system for the establishment of a mutual clock to be utilized by both the first system and the second system;
- and
- at the first system, performing a first set of operations based on the mutual clock and performing a different, second set of operations based on a first clock of the first system, wherein the first clock is different from the mutual clock.
A vehicle control system comprising:
- a first system for use with a first vehicle, the first system having an on-board first clock;
- wherein the first system is configured to communicate with a second system, the second system having a second clock;
- wherein the first system is configured to establish a mutual clock with the second system, the mutual clock being different than the first clock;
- and
- wherein the first system is configured to perform a first set of operations based on the mutual clock and a second set of operations based on the first clock.

A system for rail vehicle time synchronization, comprising:
- a first system for use with a first rail vehicle, the first system having an on-board first clock;
- and
- a second system in communication with the first system, the second system having a second clock;
- wherein the first and second systems are configured to establish a mutual clock, the mutual clock being different than the first clock;
- and
- wherein the first system is configured to perform a first set of operations based on the mutual clock and a second set of operations based on the first clock.
