Time synchronization in ad hoc networks
Abstract
Ubiquitous computing environments are typically based upon ad hoc networks of mobile computing devices. These devices may be equipped with sensor hardware to sense the physical environment and may be attached to real world artifacts to form so-called smart things. The data sensed by various smart things can then be combined to derive knowledge about the environment, which in turn enables the smart things to "react" intelligently to their environment. For this so-called sensor fusion, temporal relationships (X happened before Y) and real-time issues (X and Y happended within a certain time interval) play an important role. Thus physical time and clock synchronization are crucial in such environments. However, due to the characteristics of sparse ad hoc networks, classical clock synchronization algorithms are not applicable in this setting. We present a time synchronization scheme that is appropriate for sparse ad hoc networks

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.
