Local Time Synchronization in Bluetooth Piconets for Data Fusion Using Mobile Phones
Jonas Wåhslén, Ibrahim B. Orhan, Thomas Lindh · 2011
This paper presents a method to synchronize the clocks in a Bluetooth piconet from the application layer in a mobile phone. It adapts algorithms for time synchronization of distributed systems and the Internet to Bluetooth networks. The performance issues that cause problems for data synchronization between master and slaves in Bluetooth are highlighted. The tests show that the synchronization error is limited to one sampling time.
