Abstract:Clock synchronization is indispensable for numerous applications of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). When no common reference clock is available, the nodes must employ distributed synchronization techniques. This paper proposes, a distributed pulse‐based clock synchronisation approach, wherein the propagation delay is eliminated through signal ping‐pongs between neighbouring nodes. Such an approach can jointly estimate the clock skew and offset without requiring any reference clock. The whole synchronization p… Show more
