Time Synchronization in Wireless Networks
Author: Michael Roche mroche@wustl.edu
Abstract:
Time Synchronization in wireless networks is extremely important for basic communication, but it also provides the ability to detect movement, location,
and proximity. The synchronization problem consists of four parts: send time,
access time, propagation time, and receive time. Three current synchronization protocol
Reference Broadcast Synchronization, Timing-sync Protocol for Sensor Networks, and
Flooding Time Synchronization Protocol are presented and how they attempt solve
the synchronization problem is also discussed. Security concerns as well as an industry case are
also presented.
