Abstract— A fundamental building block in distributed wireless sensor networks is time synchronization. Given resource constrained nature of sensor networks, traditional time syn...
Heterogeneous sensor networks consisting of resource-constrained nodes as well as resource-intensive nodes equipped with high-bandwidth sensors offer significant advantages for dev...
Time synchronization is an important aspect of sensor network operation. However, it is well known that synchronization error accumulates over multiple hops. This presents a challe...
Abstract—This paper proposes a novel discrete time secondorder distributed consensus time synchronization (SO-DCTS) algorithm for wireless sensor networks. The consensus properti...
This paper presents lightweight tree-based synchronization (LTS) methods for sensor networks. First, a single-hop, pair-wise synchronization scheme is analyzed. This scheme requir...
