Abstract
The disclosure provides a method for facilitating timing synchronization in a network. The method comprises, at a network node: updating a timing value of the network node iteratively based on synchronization signals from neighboring network nodes; determining that the timing value is in a stable state; calculating a bias due to propagation delays of the synchronization signals based on a number of timing values obtained in iterations of said updating; and correcting the timing value based on the bias.
