—In this paper, we present Black Burst Synchronization (BBS)1 , a novel protocol for decentralized network-wide tick synchronization in wireless ad hoc networks, located at MAC l...
—Clock synchronization is an essential building block for many control mechanisms used in wireless networks, including frequency hopping, power management, and packet scheduling....
Abstract—Previous work has shown that CSMA-based protocols such as the IEEE 802.11 can yield flow starvation in multihop wireless networks. While prior protocol designs alleviat...
