  • Method for device synchronization
    Patent number: 11419082
    Abstract: A method for synchronizing a first device and a second device, the first device and the second device being connectable via a wireless link. The method comprises generating (202), at the first device, a synchronization signal comprising a sequence of signals, wherein each of the signals in the sequence has a first frequency; transmitting (204) the sequence of signals from the first device to the second device; performing (206), at the second device, signal processing of the sequence of signals to determine relative phase information of each of the signals in the sequence; and synchronizing (208), based on the determined relative phase information, the first device and the second device by correcting phase offset of subsequent individual signals transmitted from the first device to the second device.
