Extension of Pairwise Broadcast Clock Synchronization for Multicluster Sensor Networks

Time synchronization is crucial for wireless sensor networks (WSNs) in performing a number of fundamental operations such as data coordination, power management, security, and localization. The Pairwise Broadcast Synchronization (PBS) protocol was recently proposed to minimize the number of timing m...
