Recently, the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) and Cramer-Rao Lower Bound (CRLB) were proposed with the goal of maximizing and assessing the synchronization accuracy in wireless...

—We propose a new approach to evaluate the ultimate performance limit of time synchronization in wireless sensor networks based on the estimation theory. In particular the lower ...
A class of synchronization protocols for dense, large-scale sensor networks is presented. The protocols build on the recent work of Hong, Cheow, and Scaglione [5, 6] in which the ...
Abstract--Time synchronization is a critical service for distributed network systems. In this work, we investigate this problem in the context of underwater sensor networks (UWSNs)...

We study the problem of providing a sensor node with an accurate estimate of the current time, from a novel prospective which is complementary to the well
