Logarithmic Time MIMO Based Self-Stabilizing Clock Synchronization

Abstract

Self-stabilizing clock synchronization among Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) communicating nodes is presented. The algorithm uses positive half-wave transmission to avoid destructive wave interference, and O (log n) channels to represent O (log n) digital clock values of n participants. The global clock synchronization is achieved in time logarithmic in the network's diameter, starting in an arbitrary configuration.
