Distributed synchronization in large-scale wireless sensor networks using group consensus protocol

This article analyzes the clock model of sensor nodes and the basic principle of time synchronization. Then, it systematically introduces the existing time synchronization mechanisms and compares their advantages and disadvantages. In order to solve the problems of consensus-based time synchronizati...
