Abstract
A method of synchronizing the clocks of a master device and at least a first slave device which are connected on a wireless network. The method includes sending a scan command from the master device to at least the first slave device, setting the master device to a broadcast mode and broadcasting data, the broadcast data comprising a first time stamp; scanning the broadcasting data at at least the first slave device and resetting the clock of the first slave device using the first time stamp. In particular, but not exclusively, the present disclosure relates to synchronizing the clocks of two devices which are connected on a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) wireless network.
