Average TimeSynch: A consensus-based protocol for clock synchronization in wireless sensor networks

This paper describes a new consensus-based protocol, referred to as Average TimeSync (ATS), for synchronizing the clocks of a wireless sensor network. This algorithm is based on a cascade of two consensus algorithms, whose main task is to average local information. The proposed algorithm has the adv...
