“…If the arrival time is found to be time-stamped minimally, than the receiving time will not maintain the overhead of the context switches, system calls, or even message transferred information. Studies performed by Zhang and Deng [18] have discussed such aspects where the authors have used the parameters from the receiving time and performed the time synchronization probabilistically in wireless sensor network.…”

Time synchronization is one of the important research aspect from past decade due to its close correlation on quality of service (QoS) attributes in wireless sensor network (WSN). One of the challenging issues is addressing time synchronization is that different WSN applications have particular QoS demands that varies from throughout, delay, channel capacity, and protocol efficiency. In order to achieve maximized QoS parameters in optimal use of energy various soft computing approaches towards coverage, connectivity, routing, aggregation and fusion etc. are in the main focus of the researchers, whereas in a real life scenario all the soft computing approaches faces serious discrepancies in performance as these protocol do not suggest and correlate the issues related to the time synchronization challenges in wireless sensor network. This paper discusses every technical aspect from fundamental level of challenges in time synchronization in WSN, its type and approaches of time synchronization in general to specific to the wireless sensor network. It also highlights the open issues and future directions of the research. This paper will be one-handed reference article for the academician and researchers for time Synchronization issues and techniques.

“…However, the study in (Su & Akyildiz 2005) executes several complex processes requiring a large amount of memory and computational capacity. The investigations in (Zhang & Deng 2005;Gelyan et al 2007;Jabbarifar et al 2010) present techniques which complement the forwarding of synchronization messages, and the slave nodes maintain synchronization and calculate the time drift with their master in a probabilistic manner. This method reduces power consumption in comparison with the previous algorithms, because it decreases the number of network messages required.…”

As part of the recent IEEE 802.15.5 wireless mesh sensor networks (WMSN) standard, Synchronous Energy Saving (SES) is planned to provide energy savings to scheduled communications with strict temporal requirements that, a priori, facilitate the development of delay-sensitive applications. It is accomplished by means of different mechanisms, among which we highlight a straightforward synchronization process. However, the SES synchronization scheme introduces variable delays in the dissemination of information and reduces the lifetime of the nodes and the entire network significantly, thus limiting the full exploitation of SES. This article presents a new synchronization approach, that we call High-Performance Synchronization Algorithm for wireless mesh sensor networks (HIPESYN), which is adapted to the IEEE 802.15.5 standard for synchronous communications. HIPESYN supports intensive bandwidth applications in a much better way than with the original design. The proposed algorithm is also thoroughly evaluated and its results carefully discussed.
