    Abstract: A system includes at least one slave node and one master node that are for a method of time synchronization between the at least one slave node and the master node. The method includes: sending, by one slave node, a first message to the master node to launch a time synchronization between the slave node and the master node; upon receiving the first message, adding, by the master node, a receiving time on a master clock to the first message to form a second message; sending, by the master node, the second message back to the slave node; adding, by the slave node, a receiving time on the slave clock to the second message to form an updated message; and performing, by the slave node, a time adjustment to the slave clock based on the updated message, thereby synchronizing time between the slave node and the master node.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for wave propagation prediction based on a 3D ray tracing engine and machine-learning based dominant ray selection. The method includes receiving, integrating, and processing input data. Integrating and processing the input data includes dividing a cone of the original millimeter wave (mmWave) into a plurality of sub cones; determining a contribution weight of rays coming from each sub cone to the received signal strength (RSS) at a receiving end of interest; and determining rays coming from one or more sub cones that have a total contribution weight to the RSS larger than a preset threshold value as dominant rays using a neural network obtained through a machine learning approach. The method further includes performing ray tracing based on the input data and the dominant rays to predict wave propagation.
