Abstract
Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for synchronization in a network are provided. One method includes configuring a first node for joining a first timings synchronization group with a second node on a lowest stratum, receiving at least one synchronization signal comprising information on at least an identity of the second node, and synchronizing the first node to the first synchronization group based on the synchronization signal.

A method, comprising:
- searching for synchronization sources in a network;
- determining a group with a highest preference that can be joined from a preference list;
- and
- joining the determined group.
An apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code,
- wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured, with the at least one processor, to cause the apparatus at least to
- search for synchronization sources in a network;
- determine a group with a highest preference that can be joined from a preference list;
- and
- join the determined group.
A computer program, embodied on a computer readable medium, the computer program configured to control a processor to perform a process, comprising:
- searching for synchronization sources in a network;
- determining a group with a highest preference that can be joined from a preference list;
- and
- joining the determined group.
