IEEE 1588 is a new standard for precise clock synchronization for networked measurement and control systems in LAN environment. This paper presents the design and implementation of an IEEE 1588 PC software prototype for Wireless LANs (WLAN). Accuracy is improved using two new developed methods for outbound latency estimation. In addition, an algorithm for adjusting the local clock is presented. The achieved accuracy is measured and compared between WLAN and fixed LAN environments. The results show that 2.8 μs average clock offset can be reached on WLAN, while wired Ethernet connection enables 2.5 μs.
