A method and system for synchronizing terrestrial nodes equipped with GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) receiver belong to a terrestrial network. Synchronization is achieved by selecting terrestrial node to be synchronized to form a synchronization zone. The clear sky view solid angle shared by the terrestrial nodes is determined. The terrestrial nodes acquire a rough time reference sent by a satellite that can be viewed by the terrestrial nodes in the clear sky view solid angle. A common synchronization date is determined for all the terrestrial nodes. And, at the common synchronization date all the terrestrial nodes acquires a predefined sequence from the satellite. The terrestrial nodes uses this sequence to adjust the reference time.
