Time Synchronization in Wireless Sensor Networks Using Max and Average Consensus Protocol

This paper proposes a novel distributed time synchronization scheme for wireless sensor networks, which uses max consensus to compensate for clock drift and average consensus to compensate for clock offset. The main idea is to achieve a global synchronization just using local information. The propos...
