clock_nanosleep is the POSIX compliant version to sleep for an interval on a high resolution clock, see man page, for example on http://linux.die.net/man/2/clock_nanosleep for details.

The socket API like select can be used as a timer.

struct timeval tv;
tv.tv_sec = 0;
tv.tv_usec = 500;
select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, &tv);

You may need this choice.
