“…For the use of NTP, the work by [28] proposes an accurate time synchronization model for the IoT that is based on an enhanced version of NTP, which utilizes one resourcerich node on the mesh network and uses the border router to synchronize with a global time reference. The work by [29] is similar to ODSC as it uses the timestamp in the synchronization process. Their main aim is clock synchronization, which is different from the aim of ODCS of data synchronization.…”

An IoT data system is a time constraint in which some data needs to be serviced on or before its deadline. Distributed processing is one of the most latent sources in such systems and is considered a vital design concern. Many sources of delay in the IoT can affect the availability of data from different resources, which may cause missing data deadlines, resulting in a catastrophic effect. In fact, such systems are inherently distributed in nature and use distributed processing. The distributed processing permits different nodes to obtain the information from remote sites, which may take a long time to access the required data. Therefore, it is considered one of the most latent sources in such systems, which is considered a vital design concern. The typical recommended solution for this problem is to commit distributed transactions locally. Therefore, replication techniques are used to enhance the availability of data and consequently avoid the resulting latency. However, the use of local processing raises inconsistent periods. Therefore, this study proposes a new synchronization framework to minimize periods of temporal inconsistency. It permits several connected nodes to synchronize the shared data on demand concurrently without any need to use distributed synchronization, which consumes the system resource and raises its delay cost. The proposed framework aims to enhance the timely response of IoT real-time systems by minimizing the temporal inconsistency periods. The results indicate that the synchronization framework can be completed within a reasonable time period. They also depict improved consistency by minimizing the temporal inconsistency duration and increasing the chance of meeting critical time requirements.
