Guolin Hu · Chuangan jishu xuebao · 2010
Time synchronization is an important technology in industrial wireless networks.Saving energy and prolonging lifetime are key issues of wireless sensor networks.Based on both remaining energy of nodes and requesting for time synchronization precision,this paper presents an energy-aware and robust time synchronization protocol,in which the traditional flooding time synchronization protocol is improved.Simulation exhibits that the protocol outperforms some traditional algorithms in terms of network lifetime and energy consumption.In addition,the protocol supports WIA-PA.
