A Novel Rapid-Flooding Approach With Real-Time Delay Compensation for Wireless-Sensor Network Time Synchronization

One-way-broadcast-based flooding time synchronization algorithms are commonly used in wireless-sensor networks (WSNs). However, the packet delay and clock drift pose a challenge to accuracy, as they entail serious by-hop error accumulation problems in the WSNs. To overcome this, a rapid-flooding multibroadcast time synchronization with real-time delay compensation (RDC-RMTS) is proposed in this ar...
