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.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
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.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
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.
