A PI consensus controller with gossip communication for clock synchronization in wireless sensors networks ?
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper a distributed clock synchronization algorithm is proposed. The algorithm requires gossip asynchronous communication between the nodes of the network, and because of its proportional-integral (PI) structure it is able to compensate both initial offsets and different clock speeds. Convergence of the algorithm is proved and analysed with respect to the controller parameter, while scalability issues are addressed by simulations.

A PI Consensus Controller for Networked Clocks Synchronization
In this paper we propose a novel distributed clock synchronization protocol for networks of clocks which have different initial offsets and internal clock speeds. The algorithm is based on an PI-like consensus protocol where the proportional (P) part compensates the different clock speeds while the integral part (I) eliminates the different clock offsets. This synchronization protocol is formal...
متن کاملAverage TimeSync (ATS): a distributed consensus protocol for sensor networks clock synchronization
This paper describes a novel protocol, referred as Average TimeSync (ATS), for synchronizing a wireless sensor network using an averaging consensus approach. This algorithm is based on a class of popular distributed algorithms known as consensus, agreement, gossip or rendezvous whose main idea is averaging local information. The proposed algorithm has three main features. Firstly, it is fully d...

متن کاملTarget Tracking with Unknown Maneuvers Using Adaptive Parameter Estimation in Wireless Sensor Networks
Abstract- Tracking a target which is sensed by a collection of randomly deployed, limited-capacity, and short-ranged sensors is a tricky problem and, yet applicable to the empirical world. In this paper, this challenge has been addressed a by introducing a nested algorithm to track a maneuvering target entering the sensor field. In the proposed nested algorithm, different modules are to fulfill...
متن کاملAverage 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 advantage of being totally distributed, asynchronous, robust to packet drop and sensor node failure,...
