Sandip, relative synchronization over the wireless link is a mess. I use Linux desktop systems with GPS/PPS receivers for measuring one-way delay in mobile setups and it works. Imho any PPS-capable GPS receiver on the market should satisfy your needs when you integrate it correctly into a Linux

Many thanks for sharing your logs and figures - they are really impressive. Comparing your figures to mine (standard Linux desktop, PCI RS232 card) it seems like the GPIO-based solution on embedded systems is capable to provide about a factor of 10 to 100 lower PPS jitter compared to Linux desktop
