TLDR
In this article, a local clock of a gateway device is periodically synchronized with a remote time service facility over an external network, which is then used to synchronize a system clock of one or more clients over a local network.Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses for synchronizing a system clock of a computer via a local gateway are described herein. In one embodiment, a local clock of a gateway device is periodically synchronized with a remote time service facility over an external network. The synchronized local clock of the gateway device is then used to synchronize a system clock of one or more clients over a local network without having the clients individually to access the remote time service facility. Other methods and apparatuses are also described.read more

Patent
Absolute time recovery
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a method to synchronize an access point to an absolute time based on the information received from a server. But this method requires the access point's position to be known to the server.
Patent
Obtaining time information in a cellular network
TL;DR: In this article, an access point of a cellular network obtains time information by identifying a control channel cycle boundary, sending a request to a time server; receiving a response from the time server, the request including a server time; and obtaining the timing information using the server time.

Synchronizing multiple over the top streaming clients
William Amidei,Jason Braness +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a system and methods for synchronizing the playback of OTT or other time sensitive content on multiple playback devices is described. But the authors do not specify how to adjust the presentation time stamps of the frames of the media content in the stream.
Patent
Playback synchronization across playback devices
TL;DR: In this paper, a system and methods for synchronizing the playback of streamed content on multiple playback devices is described. But it is not shown how to adjust the presentation time stamps of the frames of media content in the stream.
Patent
Secure time service
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a secure time service in which a time server including a time source, a cryptographic key and a cryptographic engine is instantiated within a provider network.

Smart synchronization of computer system time clock based on network connection modes
TL;DR: In this article, a method and apparatus for performing synchronization of a time clock maintained by a computer system based on the network connection modes of the computer system is presented, which allows the time clock to be synchronized at the earliest opportunity that will not result in a disruption or inconvenience to the user.
