A distributed consensus protocol for clock synchronization in wireless sensor network
Open accessAbstract
This paper describes a novel consensus-based protocol, referred as Average TimeSync (ATS), for synchronizing a wireless sensor. This algorithm is based on a class of popular distributed algorithms known as consensus, agreement, gossip or rendezvous whose main idea is averaging local information. The proposed algorithm has three main features. Firstly, it is fully distributed and therefore robust to node failure and to new node appearance. Secondly, it compensates for clock skew differences among nodes, thus maintaining the network synchronized for longer periods than using simple clock offset compensation. Finally, it is computationally lite as it involves only simple sum/product operations. The algorithm has been implemented and preliminary experimental results are provided.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
