We study the problem of providing a sensor with an accurate estimate of the time, from a novel perspective which is complementary to the well-studied clock synchronization problem....
Recent advances in technology have made low cost, low power wireless sensors a reality. Clock synchronization is an important service in any distributed system, including sensor n...

— Since WSNs have restricted energy sources, the energy efficiency of a synchronization scheme is as important as the accuracy of a clock. To accomplish both the energy efficienc...
