Abstract

The present disclosure provides a time synchronization method, including: acquiring, by a slave device, a first optical fiber transmission delay from a master device to the slave device, and a second optical fiber transmission delay from the slave device to the master device; exchanging a time synchronization signal with the master device, and calculating an initial time offset; adjusting the initial time offset by using the first optical fiber transmission delay and the second optical fiber transmission delay to obtain a corrected time offset; and adjusting a local clock according to the corrected time offset. Embodiments of the present disclosure further provide a corresponding device and system.
