Open publisher page 33 citations

Abstract

In this work, the clock synchronization problem for wireless sensor networks is addressed. In our scenario, we consider a wireless sensor network where nodes are equipped with a local clock hardware and communicate in order to achieve a common sense of time. This work introduces a novel synchronization algorithm able to ensure a good level of synchronization even in the presence of random bounded communication delays. A theoretical analysis of the robustness of the proposed algorithm is proposed along with simulations to corroborate the theoretical finding.
