Time comparison techniques are required for generating and keeping Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and to distribute standard clocks. These techniques play an important role in various fields, including science, finance, military, and communication. Among these techniques, Two-Way Satellite Time and Frequency Transfer (TWSTFT) ensures a relatively high accuracy, with a time comparison accuracy at a nanosecond level. However, TWSTFT systems have some limitations, such as the dependency on extra network links. In this paper, we propose an improved method for TWSTFT system operation and design a message structure for the suggestion. Additionally, we estimate the data rate and redundancy for the new TWSTFT signal with the designed message structure.
