Systems and methods are presented that offer significant improvements in the performance of time division duplex (TDD) systems by utilizing an adaptive synchronous protocol. Conventional TDD systems are limited because data is transmitted during discreet and limited intervals of time, and because TDD transceivers may not simultaneously transmit and receive for reasons of insufficiently separated frequencies and limited receiver selectivity. Typically, TDD systems have significant latency due to the time to change from transmission to reception and the propagation delay time. By synchronizing the master nodes and the one or more remotes and by scheduling the traffic loads between these nodes, remote nodes may begin transmitting before the master node is finished with its transmission, and vice versa. This method reduces latency and improves the frame efficiency. Further, the frame efficiency may improve as the distance from the master node to the remote node increases.

A method and system for the post-adjustment (i.e., offline) of event timestamps to implement virtual time synchronization amongst detection node clocks. In existing methodologies with the goal of clock synchronization, clocks (and timestamps generated therefrom) are disciplined or adjusted at the recordation time of the events on a detection node (e.g., a switch/router, an Internet-of-Things (IoT) device, a wireless sensor, etc.).
