Wireless sensor networks require precise clock synchronization. This study introduces an estimator-based protocol (EBP) that enhances accuracy and reduces re-synchronization needs for wireless sensor networks (WSNs).

Area of Science:

  • Computer Science
  • Electrical Engineering
  • Network Engineering

Background:

  • Clock synchronization is critical for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs).
  • Local clock skew drifts over time, degrading synchronization accuracy.
  • Existing consensus-based methods face challenges with time-varying clock skews.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a novel clock synchronization protocol for WSNs.
  • To improve synchronization accuracy under dynamic clock skew conditions.
  • To reduce the frequency of periodic re-synchronization.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a proportional integral estimator-based protocol (EBP).
  • Implementation of pseudo-synchronous skew compensation.
  • Numerical simulations to evaluate protocol performance.
Keywords:

Main Results:

  • The EBP protocol demonstrates improved synchronization accuracy compared to existing methods.
  • The protocol effectively manages time-varying clock skews.
  • Reduced synchronization error leads to lower re-synchronization frequencies.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed EBP protocol offers a robust solution for clock synchronization in WSNs.
  • Pseudo-synchronous implementation addresses practical limitations of purely synchronous protocols.
  • The findings are validated through numerical simulations.
