Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9959052A1] The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for synchronising at least one node (N1-N4) in a net (n), which node (N1-N4) is used as an example for packet oriented transmission. A server (C), generating a stable frequency (fs), and the node (N1-N4) measures the number of cycles of the stable frequency (fs) respective the number of cycles of a local frequency (f1-f4), generated by the node (N1-N4). These measurements are started respective stopped at the instant of time when a phase of a signal, generated by a power network (PN) connected to the server (C) and the node (N1-N4), equals zero. The results of the measurements are compared and the node (N1-N4) is adjusted accordingly. Measurements can continuously be performed by the server (C) and the node (N1-N4).
