Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2017070588A1] Disclosed are methods and apparatus for transmitting sensor timing correction messages with a host controller. The methods and apparatus determine synchronization messages that are transmitted to a sensor coupled with the host controller via an interface, where the messages indicate a beginning of a synchronization period for synchronizing timing of the host controller and the sensor. Additionally, a delay time message is determined that indicates a time delay between the beginning of the synchronization period and an actual transmission time of the synchronization message. The synchronization message is transmitted with the delay time message in an information message to the sensor, where information message is configured to allow the sensor to correct timing of a sensor timer by accounting for the delay time.
