TLDR
In this paper, a time information message is received at an in-vehicle telematics unit, which monitors for a time-update trigger event and sends a message to a vehicle bus in response to the time update trigger event.
Abstract: 
The present invention is a system and method for providing local time to a mobile vehicle. A time information message is received at an in-vehicle telematics unit, which monitors for a time-update trigger event. A time-update message is sent from the telematics unit to a vehicle bus in response to the time-update trigger event. A computer usable medium with suitable computer program code is employed to provide local time to a mobile vehicle.

Method and apparatus for time-of-day synchronization between network nodes

Chang-June Yoon
TL;DR: A node with local GPS time in an ad-hoc wireless network synchronizes with network time immediately and slowly pulls the network time to GPS time, however, network nodes may immediately transition to the common GPS time after an island or group head node determines that the transition in network time does not disturb the communication links as mentioned in this paper.
