Abstract
Protocol based time synchronization in wireless sensor networks is a relevant issue for many researchers. In literature many papers dealing with the design and characterization of several techniques for synchronization can be found. Some of them consider only performance analysis in simulation environment, others analyze the performance considering real sensor nodes equipped with specific features for the access to time information (i.e. timestamps) at media access control (MAC) layer.

Analysis of quantities influencing the performance of time synchronization based on linear regression in low cost WSNs

TL;DR: A deep performance analysis is proposed aimed at highlighting the sensitivity of the regression-based algorithms to some factors that influence the accuracy in typical low cost applications, such as the finite resolution of the local timing clock and the presence of clock drift, clock high frequency noise and low frequency noise.

ELOTS: Energy-efficient local optimization time synchronization algorithm for WirelessHART networks

TL;DR: An energy-efficient local optimization time synchronization algorithm that computes the mean time offset for neighbor nodes receiving multiple reference messages, estimates the time offset by the maximum a posteriori estimation and finally adjusts the local clock according to the estimation.

Time Synchronization Based on CMTS: A Performance Analysis in Industry Scenarios

TL;DR: A methodological analysis to evaluate the performance of maximum consensus-based algorithm when subjected to typical disturbances due to the industrial scenarios is carried out and could then be used to build up a previsional model of achievable performance when real sensor nodes are employed and to find countermeasures able to neutralize or reduce unwanted non-idealities effects.

Fine-grained network time synchronization using reference broadcasts

TL;DR: Reference Broadcast Synchronization (RBS) as discussed by the authors is a scheme in which nodes send reference beacons to their neighbors using physical-layer broadcasts, and receivers use their arrival time as a point of reference for comparing their clocks.

The flooding time synchronization protocol

TL;DR: The FTSP achieves its robustness by utilizing periodic flooding of synchronization messages, and implicit dynamic topology update and comprehensive error compensation including clock skew estimation, which is markedly better than that of the existing RBS and TPSN algorithms.

Timing-sync protocol for sensor networks

TL;DR: It is argued that TPSN roughly gives a 2x better performance as compared to Reference Broadcast Synchronization (RBS) and verify this by implementing RBS on motes and use simulations to verify its accuracy over large-scale networks.
