1. A method of synchronization in a communication system comprising:

  • determining, at a master device, whether a transmission from the master device to one or more slave devices can include a transmission time representing a time, using a common timebase, of the transmission from the master device to the one or more slave devices, such that a value of the transmission time is available to the one or more slave devices;

    if the transmission time is not includable such that the value of the transmission time is available to the one or more slave devices, synchronizing the master device and the one or more slave devices to a common timebase without requiring access to the transmission time from the master device.
