TIME SYNCHRONIZATION METHOD AND APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17966087 titled 'TIME SYNCHRONIZATION METHOD AND APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a time synchronization method and apparatus for communication technologies. The method involves a central unit (CU) determining the reference time of a terminal device at a reference point and sending first information to the terminal device indicating the reference time. The terminal device then performs time synchronization based on this reference time. This approach reduces processing complexity and power consumption of the terminal device.

Original Abstract Submitted
The technology of this application relates to the field of communication technologies, and discloses a time synchronization method and an apparatus. The method includes a CU determines reference time of a terminal device at a reference point, and sends first information to the terminal device, where the first information is used to indicate the reference time of the terminal device at the reference point. After receiving the first information, the terminal device may perform time synchronization based on the reference time of the terminal device at the reference point. In this manner, the terminal device may obtain the reference time of the terminal device at the reference point from the CU, so that processing complexity of the terminal device can be effectively reduced, and power consumption of the terminal device can be reduced.
