Joachim, Thanks for your detailed solution, which was along the lines of my thinking.. Do you know of any off-the-shelf GPS receiver with RS232 and PPS capability? Hal, >> What sort of distance accuracy are you expecting? Not very stringent..up to 10m will do. >> What sort of distances will

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 de

Thanks Charles S. and Charles E. for your valuable comments. Let me clarify that the two nodes *do not* have access to the internet, but only to each other, over an unreliable wireless link. So I did not consider the option of choosing NTP sync during the measurements. Of course, here I am assumi

Hello, I am trying to sync the system clocks of two desktop/laptop computers within sub millisecond accuracy. The goal is to have a setup for measuring One Way Delay of UDP packets between two moving nodes, over a long-range wireless network. My plan is to set up the two machines as Stratum-1 NT
