Wireless sensor network applications, similarly to other distributed systems, often require a scalable time synchronization service enabling data consistency and coordination. Thi...
Existing slotted channel access schemes in wireless networks assume that slot boundaries at all nodes are synchronized. In practice, relative clock drifts among nodes cause slot mi...
— Traditionally, slotted communication protocols have employed guard times to delineate and align slots. These guard times may expand the slot duration significantly, especially...
Time synchronization is a crucial component of a large class of sensor network applications, traditionally implemented as a standalone middleware service that provides a virtual gl...
In a sensor network the sensors, or nodes, obtain data and have to communicate these data to a central node. Because sensors are battery powered they are highly energy constrained....
