LNLCS: Leveraging Network Lifetime using clock synchronization in wireless sensor network
K. Nagarathna, Jayashree D. Mallapur · 2016
Clock synchronization significantly assists in enhancing the data quality during the data dissemination phase from sensors to the base station. The existing studies towards addressing time synchronization errors don't address the associated latent problems in it. Therefore, this paper introduces a novel technique called as LNLCS i.e. Leveraging Network Lifetime using Clock Synchronization. The technique is a novel attempt to integrate multihop routing with clock synchronization. LNLCS also presents a novel clustering technique that makes the sensor to play multiple roles during data aggregation as well as minimization of clock synchronization errors based on threshold based technique. The outcome of the study was gauged using clock synchronization error and amount of energy being dissipated to find that LNLCS outperforms the most standard and existing clock synchronization errors in dense and large scale WSN.
