An event-triggered consensus time synchronization for WSNs
Fang Wang, Hai‐Tao Zhang · 2017
This paper discusses the time synchronization issue in wireless sensor networks. An event-triggered average consensus time synchronization algorithm is proposed. This algorithm uses the average time message from one node's one-hop neighbors to update the clock parameters of the node. And it achieved acceptable synchronization accuracy. We also proposed an event-trigger mechanism to reduce the communication cost of the network. Simulation verified the effectiveness of our synchronization algorithm.
