Abstract
The disclosure relates to a pre-5th-Generation (5G) or 5G communication system to be provided for supporting higher data rates Beyond 4th-Generation (4G) communication system such as Long Term Evolution (LTE). A method for obtaining clock synchronization information in a base station configured to operate based on a reference clock of a wireless communication system in a wireless communication system is provided. The method includes obtaining a burst arrival time of TSCAI (time-sensitive communication assistance information) based on a TSN (time-sensitive networking) clock, obtaining offset information indicating the difference between the TSN clock and a reference clock of the wireless communication system, and adjusting the burst arrival time, based on the offset to obtain an adjusted burst arrival time based on a reference clock of the wireless communication system.
