Survey of Synchronization Algorithms: Wireless Sensor Networks Case Study
Résumé
Time synchronization becomes in recent years as a
part and parcel for any distributed system such as sensors networks.
Many applications of sensors networks need local clocks
of sensors nodes to be synchronized and keep synchronization
between sensors in order to communicate with each other via radio links
for sharing and treatment of reliable information. The key point
of consideration in this article is to examine and evaluate the
most important synchronization algorithms based on a set of
factors like energy efficiency, mobility and complexity
