Low-power high-accuracy timing systems for efficient duty cycling
Thomas Schmid, Jonathan Friedman, Zainul M. Charbiwala, Young H. Cho, Mani B. Srivastava · 2008
Time keeping and synchronization are important services for networked and embedded systems. High quality timing information allows embedded network nodes to provide accurate time-stamping, fast localization, efficient duty cycling schedules, and other basic but essential functions - all of which are required for low power operation.
