Thank you very much, Mr. Peter.

I will explain the situation more detail now:

We are developing a communication software on the PC side, the counterparter
is a MCU.

The sleep() is called for data synchronization, but 1 millisecond is too
long -- the baud rate is 9600bps, so I need a solution, a more accurate
version sleep() for this purpose.
