Synchronization Algorithm for Multi-hop in Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

Time synchronization possesses wide range of applications. There are already a variety of time synchronization methods. In wireless sensor networks, its equipment, limitations of resources and the environment, require time synchronization with high efficiency, while saving resources. This article describes the time synchronization algorithm using the time stamp of the effectiveness of the inspection stage, to simply send a small packet that is able to achieve the synchronization functions. The simulation results show that our algorithm can makes the system has lower synchronization errors and better performance.
