Abstract

Methods, devices, and computer program products for synchronization of wireless devices in a peer-to-peer network are described herein. In one aspect, a method for synchronizing a wireless communication apparatus is provided. The method includes determining, at a wireless communication apparatus, a first time interval since transmitting a message including a time value of a clock signal of the wireless communication apparatus; and determining, at the wireless communication apparatus, a second time interval since updating the time value of the wireless communication apparatus; and transmitting a message comprising content that is based on comparing the first time interval to a first threshold and comparing the second time interval to a second threshold.
