Abstract

A method for synchronizing two communication networks of an electronic data-processing system, each of the networks including one or more respective nodes, may include establishing for each of the networks a respective time schedule that establishes at least one respective time slot for a respective synchronization message. The synchronization message time slots are established to coincide. The synchronization message of the first communication network is generated by one of the nodes of the first communication network. The synchronization message of the second communication network is generated as a function of the synchronization message of the first communication network.
